•TAILOR-MSBE' MURDER TESTS STUDENT WITS Crime School’s Thriller Is ‘Air Tight’ Even for Real Sleuths. CHICAGO, May B.—Thirty-lour detectives and one society girl brought all the tricks they have learned in the Northwestern university crime detection school into play today trying to solve a “murder mystery” prepared by Calvin Goddard, director, as a quiz in the course. Although the detectives, who come from police departments all over the country, and Priscila Higinbotham, Evanston debutante who is taking *h/; course tor the thrills, worked all yesterday afternoon and into the night on the “tailor-made” murder; no progress was reported today. For anyone who cares to match his wits against those of the students, here ia the “crime” and the clews: Bullet in Body The body of Jone Doe (a suit stuffed with straw) is found at 9:30 p. m. on the floor of Goddard’s laboratory. He has been shot through the chest. Nearby is a pistol with one cartridge discharged. Also a bottle of gin. As the detectives appear a man who says and proves by credentials that he is Charles Wilson, one of Goddard’s operatives, is leaving the laboratory. He is not held. The student-detectives ascertain that there are finger-prints on the gin bottle, but they prove to be the victim’s. One keen-eyed crime fighter notes that Doe was fully clothed except for shoes, which lay near the body.

“Truth Serum’* Applied Wilson is taken into custody. Under a “truth serum” test he reveals that he had been in the laboratory to get a bottle of gin (he had a date). It appeared that there must have been two bottles of gin in the laboratory. Two other assistants of Goddard now enter the mystery. Suddenly Goddard picks up the murder weapon and confronts Captain Seth Wiard, one of the assistants. with the accusation that the gun is his. Wiard admits it, but points out that he has several guns within acce-ss. Wiard and the other assistant, Allen Wescott, advance alibis apparently airtight. Asa climax, Goddard announces that a bullet which had been on his desk for a special test in another murder case is gone. Amateurs may pick up the story there. The thirty.four professionals and Miss Higinbotham haven’t succeeded vet, so the field is open.

KILLING URGED FOR INCURABLE CASES

Doctors Consider Drastic Action; Viewed as for Public Welfare. By United Press CHICAGO, May 3.—A suggestion to foster laws providing that imbeciled and victims of incurable diseases be “killed off” with painless drugs, administered by official sanction, was under consideration today by the Illinois Homeopathic Medical Association. The suggestion was made to the association, in convention here, by Dr. L. Merrill Henikoff, who conBRITAIN PREPARES FOR SCHNEIDER CUP RACES Eight Members of Royal Air Force Formed Into Speed Flight. By Times Special LONDON, May B.—Although the ranks of Britain’s speed fliers have been thinned by accidents in the last few days, the nation is expecting to win the Schenider cup races again with planes that will go ! near seven miles a minute. Men are being trained at Flex- j stowe for the races, which will be! held this year on Sept. 12. Eight members of the Royal Air force have been formed into a high speed flight and three of them eventually will be chosen to represent Britain in her fight to retain the trophy permanently, when the race is flown over the Solent in September. i

tended that not only would the measure save the country millions of dollars annually, but that'it also would ‘‘relieve worlds of heartbreaks and needless suffering.” “All good doctors are fighting to prolong life, yet situations develop wher it is a question whether to prolong life is desirable,” explained Dr. William Alva Guild, in supporting Dr. Henikoff. Dr. Frank Branen also said he might favor the idea if safeguards were provided against the chance of “unscrupulous relatives or other persons conspired with unscrupulous doctors to accomplish the death of someone.”

lODINE IN FOOD MAKES ’EM THE ‘LIFEOFPARTY’ Food Decides Behavior, Asserts Well-Known Professor. By United Press NEW YORK. May B.—Professor Donald A. Laird, the Colgate university psychologist, whose explorations into the realm of sleep resulted In several pertinent discoveries some months ago, has turned his talents to the subject of eating. Dr. Laird, in an address here, said that he has discovered that the nature of the food we eat has much more effect on our behavior than we imagine. “The ‘life of the party’ is probably that,” he said, because of iodine content in his food rather than because he learned to play the saxophone in ten easy lessons by mail.” The psychologist cited shrimp as a food of high iodine content and suggested that undersized men might

profit by consuming great quantities of the food. Dr. Laird's experiments are being carried out with the aid of students at Colgate. For example they are going for long hikes in the mountains, stopping only to eat candy and other sweets in order to determine the cause and effect of “that tired feeling.” They already have discovered, the professor said, that that feeling is not one, but fifty-six different tired feelings. These fifty-six include “Itchiness cr creeping under the skin, difficulty in relaxing, faintness or haziness, jumpiness or fidgets, inability to recall the name of Mr. Addison Sims of Seattle, wanting not to talk, inability to draw a straight line and less of sensitiveness to electric shocks.”

It is Dr. Laird's contention that excitable persons might be calmed easily by feeding them liberal diets of base-forming eggs, red meats, oatmeal, wheat, bacon and rice, and tiat lethargic individuals would be pepped up by extra helpings of celery, cabbage, prunes, turnips, citrus fruits, beans, potatoes, apples and corn.
