WATCH OUT FOR
COP WITH TUBE
IF YOU DRINK
Solution viii Determine De-
gree of Drunkenness,
Chemists Told.

Science today recognized the
traffic cop and his hunt for drunken
autoists with the result that the
patrolman in waiting behind a sign
board on the morrow may be
equipped with a 10-cent-store bal
loon or a test-tube instead of a
"billy-club" in his search for road
roysterers.
For today Or. RoIo N. Harger of
the school of medicine of the In
diana university related to scien-
fists and chemists attending the
American Chemical Society meeting
here how the degree of drunken
ness" Of highway "hooch-hound"
could be determined by the use of
q balloon or test-tube.
Prefers the Test Tube
DR.. Harger prefers to use a test
tube instead of a balloon in measur-
ing the "hic-cuping" breath Of the
lnebriate.
ut is merely necessary to hold a
small glass tube an inch or two
from the mouth or nose of the
''drunk" The tube will trap part
of the exhaled breath. This trapped
air is dubbed through a pink wat
cry solution Of potassium pernan-
ganate and sulphuric acid If there
is alcohol in the trapped breath the
pink solution rapidly turns almost
white" Or. Harger said.
Nothing viii Food
But If the gin-head Of the gears
thinks for one minute that mouth
washes, mint drops, will fool the lit
tie test tube in the motorcycle pa
trolman's hand he's second-guessing
wrong.
DR.. Harger says nothing which
will disguise the smell of alcohol
will interfere with the tell-tale eff
feet Of the pink" solution.
Either alone has an effect on the
solution like alcohol, but ether is not
b feasible disguise" DR.. Harger said.
The doctor said with this device
any one can recognize the presence
of liquor on a breath.

Study Of Love, Marriage and Divorce, -
soon to be published in New York.
More than 70 per cent of the divorce
cases I've heard we're based on incom-
patibility between the sexes" Judge Bart
lett, now retired, said. This rarely was
disclosed in the complaint or pleadings,
the real cause being hidden by a claim of
desertion or cruelty or something"
Judge Bartlett takes strong issue with
the Vatican's views against birth control,
and says he still believes in love between
men and women and believes heartily in
divorce.
But he has little time for alimony seek
ers, declaring that advice to newlyweds
may be more effective. He has devoted a
chapter Of his book to this purpose.
A picturesque western lawyer of the old
school, Judge Bartlett has pride in a
wealth of explosives.
He is familiar figure on Reno streets
with his black sombero hat, starched
rundown collar and string bow tie, a
cane IN his hand and pipe in his mouth
Born in San Francisco sixty-one years
ago, Judge Bartlett spent his youth in the
boom towns of Eureka and Tonopah, New.
He was educated at Georgetown uni
versity at Washington, D. c., until he
came to Reno.
In 1911 he was the only Democrat in
congress from west of the Mississippi and
north of Texas.
