DOUGLAS SCHOOL WINS
 OVER JUNEAU, THIRD GAME
 TO BASKETBALL SERIES

With their natty new suits of pur- pie and gold flashing in steller bask- etball play Douglas high school hCcpsters launched an offensive at the start of their game with J. H. s last night that carried them to vic- tory against their time honored ad- yersarieS for the first time this sea- son and paved the way to one more game at least in the annual series, perhaps two more.
 Indicative of how hard the home team must have played, the score at the half was l6 to in their favor and with reserves of first string men brought into the game against them during the second half, 1t is no wonder that the Crimson Bears were able to creep up within one point of tying their tired opponents. Douglas Wahto for D.H.S. was top performer of the evening with a total of 13 points while Rice and Jones of the J.HS. tied with 6 points each.
 The preliminary game between the reserves of both schools resulted in favor of Juneau Hi, g to 15

MURDER Law
Seal Would Amend
Homicide Statute

Liberalization of the Districts
laws, relating to convictions of
second-degree murder, appeared
likely today with the disclosure
that Corporation Counsel Elwood
Seal has assigned his assistant,
Vernon E. West, to draft a mea-
sure calling for an indeterminate
sentence rather than the 20-years-
to-life imprisonment now manda-
tory under the District code.
At present, Seal explained, priS-
oners serving terms for second
degree murder must serve their
entire term of 20 years. Should
the indeterminate sentence, how
ever, become law, Seal said pris-
oners would become eligible for
parole after serving one-third Of
their sentence,

LAWS DOUBTS
EFFICIENCY OF.
LIE DETECTOR.
Attorney Makes Plea
For Use on Client

A District Court ruling may
shortly settle the moot question
Of the effectiveness of the famed
''lie detector," as far as Washing
ton is concerned.
Justice Bolitha Laws, in Dis
trict Court today, after hearing
an argument by Attorney James
Laughlin requesting the unprec-
edented local use of a "lie de-
tector" on a client, said:
"I am not convinced that the
lie detector is beyond the eX-
perimental stage. In your petit
ton you have not cited any
scientific authority so to show"
TRIAL SET NOV. 20
Justice Laws then set the trial
of Laughlin's client, James F.
Curtis, IS, accused of armed rob
berry, for November 20, and in
structed Laughlin to bring for
ward more scientific proof Of the
efficacy of the lie detector in the
meantime.
Curtis, who obtained a new trial
after conviction last spring, con-
tends he was in Baltimore when
the crime of which he is accused
occurred. He insists the lie de-
tector be applied to him.
Laughlin urged use of the IA
nous machine perfected by the
late Father Summers, Of Fordham
University, which he said had
proved widely successful. He told
Justice Laws the Summers appa-
ratus could be obtained at more
reasonable fee than one available
from the Northwestern University
crime school at Chicago.
BLOOD PRESSURE KEY
During the discussion it was
brought out a machine based on
blood pressure reactions of sub
jectS had not seemed to impress
juristS or other authorities.
II believe the machine de.
veloped by Father Summers is
known as a pathometer," said
Laughlin, "but I am not quite
sure of the principles upon
which it operates"
Assistant U. S. Attorney John w.
jackson pointed out that in 1923
the U. 8. Court of Appeals upheld
q lower court decision ruling out
lie detector testimony.

He'll play the leading role in his
own new play, angela Is Twenty
two," simply because he likes the
theater and is interested in it. The
author of many beSt-sellers said:
Acting and writing are inSep-
arabic. They are simply two diff
ferent interpretations Of the
same character and should go
together.1
NOT TOO CONFIDENT
Lewis, however, does not think
that he can give a better interpre-
tation of the character of the
doctor in Angela is %" than an
experienced actor could.
"I had my own idea of the
character and will probably pre-
sent him on the stage in that
light but another actor might
be able t. add characteristics
that I had not thought about"
Lewis said.
Lewis turned from the writing
Of novels to playWritng because
he wanted change of work and
added that he will probably go
back to the forum.
"The most difficult thing to
learn about writing" he said,
is that you must keep doing it,
and learning all the time. Sue
cessful authors sometimes re-
sent suggestions, but you've got
to keep learning and realize you
can be wrong"

For the last week for which this
column has statistics, the business

so slight that you had to look very
carefully at the graphs to see it.
Immobility has characterized bus
mess for some time, with all gains
and losses, when seasonal adjust

Business Week thinks that "the
main factor working toward revival
is the continuance Of consumption
at a higher rate than production"
In the steel industry, for example.
operations are at 30 percent Of ca
pacity, while consumption is be-
tween 40 and so percent Of capacity.
This means that existing inventories
of the metal are being rather rapidly
used up, and that stronger buying

ate at all, much less improve.

TINE TO TUNE UP

There are many Kennewick mo-
florists who think that so long as the
car runs when he starts 1t and keeps
running as long as he presses his
feet on the accelerator it Is in good
shape and all is well with 1t. They
don't stop to consider that there
are different grades Of oil for dill
ferent temperatures, and that fall
ure to change at the proper time
can easily ruin a motor, or that
after running through the hardest
motoring months Of the year bat
teries lose much of their power and
pep and need refilling or that bolts
or screws that hold vital parts OF
its mechanism together may have
worked loose and rendered the car
unsafe until readjustments are
made. Just because it will run does
MT mean that 1t will safely, and no
man should risk his life or the lives
of his family because it does so.
Heavy repair bills later on-maybe
a fatal accident-rests upon the en-
tire car being in perfect shape for
summer driving. Tune it up now
and be on the safe side.

support of Initiative No. l29, which
reenacts the present protection to

pledged their organization to work

self will slow sales.
The BODYBUILDING program has
not gotten underway yet. Some
think little will come of it-others
are extremely optimistic and feel
that greatly stimulated residential
construction will lead industry into
better times. FILA. has great
number of applications on hand, but
it is believed that several months
must ensue before much actual work
will get underway.
One interesting fact, indicative of
the state Of sentiment, is that the
word recession" is being used less
and less to describe current condi-
tons, and the word depression"
more and more. This Is true of the
newspapers, magazines and ,individ-
uals. Even the most sanguine no
longer regard the slump as a minor
matter, which will be shortly taken
care Of by the ineluctable pull of
long time recovery movement. The
feeling grows that we are in as po-
tentially serious a position now as
in 1880.
A glance over q number of fore
casts by financiers and economists
produces the prediction that sum-

pecially in consumers goods indus

CASH OR WHAT-HAvE-YOU?

Nobody gets very far in the way
of thrift these days, or lays up a
very pretentious savings account
until he learns that it costs just as
much to have anything charged as
it does to pay cash for it. It may
hurt to take the money right out
of your pocket and buy suit OF
clothes or a hat, having it charged
only relieves the pain" temporar-
lily; and the chances are that next
month will find it no easier for you
to pay than it is right now. The
man who finds it difficult to make
both ends meet should try the
cash -and-carry" system awhile
and see if that makes it easier to
stick to his budget. Laying down
the cash may not seem any more
sensible than having it charged, but
just try paying cash and see If
there is any difference. There's
two sides to the question, and in
your case the same thing may not
work that works for the other fell
low. Pay cash for a month and see
for yourself.

ECONOMIC H1GH11GHTs

During May, business stood at IS
on the Federal Reserve Boards In
.dex of activity. In 1887 1t averaged
ITO. That means it has declined
about one-third, which is terrific
drop for so short a period of time.
It also means that the governments
revenue estimates have been thrown
clear out Of kilter.
It Is said that the new tax bill is
. IS 300, 000, 900 revenue measure.
Budget Director Bell, under ques-
tioning by Senator Bailey, has
stated that this estimate was based
on the December outlook. Business
was well down then, but nowhere
near as far down as it is now, and
the outlook for the future was ma
terially better. The consequence Is,
according to informed opinion, that
the $500, 0O0, 900 must be shaved
by at least $500,O00,000 and prob
ably a good deal more to get a true
picture of what the measure is like
~ to produce.
Result: declining revenues, plus
the mp-priming endeavor, would
seem to make inevitable a greater
increase In the national debt than
was anticipated. Apparently the
only way to prevent this would be
to levy new or higher taxes, but
there is no sentiment, in a congress
facing an election year for that. A
consensus of various authoritative
estimates places the deficit for the
fiscal year beginning July ] at ap-
proximately $5.0OO,O000OO. Lowest
prospective deficit estimate is that
issued by the budget bureau-$3,-
2OOOOO,OOO. Highest is the esti-
mate of Senator Vandenburg S.
O00.000,OO0.
The problem faced by the treas
ury were wildly indicated a short
time back by Secretary Morgenthau
who Is now regarded as one of the
most conservative of the Cabinet Of
1icials, and who was recently con-
graduated even by so strong an OPP
ponent Of spending as Senator Byrd
for the excellent job he has been
doing. The Secretary said: "The
Treasury Is on q 24-hour basis /. !.
and we try to meet these very diff
ficult situations as they arise. All
I can say is, as Of today I think we
have met them. What we can do in
the future I do not know" This, said
Paul Mallon, appeared to be q
fortnight and sensible statement of
the real outlook"
The outlook, In other words, is
in the laps Of the gods. Expecta-
ton Is that the White House pump
printing bill will finally go through
In just about its original form. The
Presidents control over congress.
through far from absolute, has been
strengthened by the wins Of Ad-
ministration- backed candidates in
the Oregon and Florida primaries
Though the New Deal got a setback
In Pennsylvania) and by the publi-
cation Of q survey made by For
tune which indicates the odd fact
that, in spite Of the new depression,
the Presidents personal popularity
Is almost as high as it ever was.

Nations Business carries an item
to the effect that the National Dairy
Corporation in 1887 made Ills
separate tax reports-an average of
one every fifteen minutes of every
business day-at q cost of $265. 900.
According to a graph prepared by
the County Commissioners Asso-
citation, the peak number on relief
was reached in January, 1898, with
about $4,000 Of our people receiv-
ing aid. This beats the record of
1888 by some twenty thousand.
