The hobby became an avocation. and finally unseated medicine as Goddard's chief vocation. The new profession though 1t could scarcely bs so desig- nated when Goddard took it up— brought the Army surgeon an unex- | pected measure of fame. | He became an expert in the virgin field of police ballistics. a consultant whose technical testimony concerning fatal guns and bullets was sought by prosecutors and accepted by juries. His services plaved 2n important Tole in the Hall-Mills murder case, in the Sacco- Vanz:tti trial and in the aftermath of the St. Valentine's day massacre in Chicago and the Jake Lingle shooting. While the Chicago laboratory was built largely around Goddard's firearms researches, none of the modern scien- tific approach=s to crime solution was overlooked. i As managing director of the labora- tory and honorary proféssor of forensic ballistics at Northwestern, Goddard has | gatbered around him a notable staff of criminological specialists. | i Specialists on Staff.

Eclipsing Holmes. He tells this story to illustrate how modern scientists are emulating. and indeed eclipsing, the deductive feats of Holmes Several years ago a number of sticks of dynamite were found close to a resi- dence in Berkeley. The expiosive was delivered to Dr. Albert Schneider, direc- tor of Vollmer's police laboratory. who carefully removed the burlap and paper | in which the dynamite was inclosed. A piece of cotton twine was tied around a second layer of paper. The twine was removed, immersed in distilled water and shaken violently, Later the water was syphoned from the vial and the precipitated matter subjected to careful mi opic exami- nation. “The scientist reported, as near as I can recall.” Vollmer relates, “that the twine had com> from a farm upon which would be found a swift stream of water, pine trees, several varieties of designated shrubs, black and white rab- ! bits, a bay horse, a light cream-colored cow and Rhode Island Red chickens “Through the number and date cale found on the dynamite it was pos- sible to .{race the explosive to a dealer 1 Novato, Calif.. from. whom it was earned that three sales of dynamite to different persons had been made on the day ' ih question. Detective Captain Woods located the purchasers, and was amazed to learn that the farm adjnin- ing that of one of the purchasers tallied exactly with Dr. Schneider's deseription. The tenants, however, had disappeared and never were located.” Methods Here to Stay. Volimer says he could cite similar cascs by the score in support of the value of seience in polica work “Oft-n_the most damaging evidenc he declares, “lurks in obscure and un- looked-for places.

FOR MANY SLIPS OF TONGUE New Kymog’raph Reveals: Throat and; Mouth Getting Reacly for Next as Sound Leaves By the Assoclated Press ANN ARBOR. Mich.. June 29 —A sci- entific report showing that some slips of being due to mental dumbness, often are sim- Iply muscular, was made public_at the University of Michigan tocay. The re- search was donc jointly here and at the University of Southern California. It is like a pitcher with a great throw- | ing arm. The ordinary human gannot make the buse ball sizzle, but that is no mental fault. Tongues are somewhat | like that. The muscular co-ordination required by speech, analyzed by a new type of kymograph, appears to be unexpectedly complicated. The instrument shows. for | ! example that while the oral cavity is uttering one sound, speech muscles of (the throat and even of ths mouth al- | ready are getting ready to form the next sound. Thus the kymograph snows that in making the sound of “k” the prepara- tory adjustments for this little sound ex- plosion” are going on 51 per cent of ! the time which a preceding vowel sound is being uttered The instrument was devised in the Michigan _psychological laboratory by Dr. Ray K. Immel, dean of the School of ‘Speech at University of Southern California. It has several tectacles attached to of the mouth and throat picking up simultaneously the muscular movements during speech | and recording them through a pen or smoked paper. With it Dr. Immel hopes to learn how stammering may be relieved more readily. “Most stuttering,” he says. “is_functional and not organic—that is. the organs of sperch are intact, but do not act properly.” So far Dean Immel has registered the speech of normal persors oniy. even here he finds great variations. says the announcement. different persons manipulate their muscles differently to make the same but | Not only do | Oral Cavity. sound, but: they may even use differ- ent muscles. “Varjations in manipulation,” the statement declares, “as great as 100 per cent in some sounds. are possible, | with_the result of being still under- | standable, Every record varies slightly | from every other, and if analysis | were carried out fo the furthest de- gree, it never in the history of man has the same sound been uttered twice exactly | alike.
