...American Business Men's Research Foundation graph (TIME, Oct. 12, p. 62-63) referred to by TIME as indicative of a major relationship between auto fatalities and consumption of alcohol leads me to wonder if you have swallowed that particular piece of statistical skulduggery. The inference drawn by the above mentioned foundation is, of course, unwarranted on the basis of the evidence they present...
Best known mechanical device to detect lying is the polygraph, perfected by Professor Leonarde Keeler of Northwestern University. A subject attached to the polygraph who tells an untruth supposedly registers changes in blood pressure, pulse and respiration which are indicated by a needle jiggling on a graph. Tested last week in Manhattan was another such instrument-the psychogalvanometer. The invention of tall, burly Father Walter G.

Last week His Majesty caused the Court Circular to appear one morning in such a manner that the first paragraph announced that Mrs. Simpson had arrived at Balmoral Castle while the second para graph said that the Duke & Duchess of York had opened the Royal Infirmary at Aberdeen. While Their Royal Highnesses were doing so. His Majesty, wearing a kilt and with a Scottish tarn o' shanter set jauntily over one ear, arrived at the Aberdeen railway station and greeted Mrs. Simpson as she alighted...
