Lafayette, Ind.— (ACP) Prob-
lems of college students usually
can lie traced to love, economic
worries or fatigue, Prof. E. S.
Conklin, director of Indiana Uni-

told the annual Purdue University
vocational guidance conference last
week.
Conklin asserted t^at students
average only about six hours sleep
a night, adding that fatigue and
worry caused by low grades often
bring nbout drinking on the part
of the student.

IOWA CITY, IA.—(ACP)—A
University of Iowa professor has
devised an "emotion meter," which
he says measures the capacity of
one's mood for love by the perspira-
tion in the palm of the hand.
The machine would be of little
use to the unenlightened swain,
said Prof. C. A. Ruckmick, the in-
ventor, because it takes a trained
psychologist to interpret the ro-
mailtic side of the readings.
The meter measures all types of
emotional disturbances, including
anger, fear, joy, and that pro-
duced by lying. Lie detectors gen-
erally rely on changes in blood
pressure and breathing, he said,
but in his opinion hand perspira-
tion is more reliable.
When a person lies, the sweat
glands in the hand become more
active; and this generates electri-
cal currents which are recorded by
the detector's galvanometer. These
tiny currents are picked up by two
copper electrodes which are clamp-
ed against the palm of the hand.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.—ACP--A

tion focusing principle, was de-
scribed recently at Harvard Uni-
versity.
It works somewhat like the
world's largest telescope in re-
verse. It focuses by remote, elec-
tric control. It magnifies distinctly
(5,000 diameters, which is four times
more than the theoretical limit of
clear definition.
The Harvard giant will magnify
50,000 diameters, which would be
making an exclamation point about
as tall as the Washington monu-
ment.
The slow-motion focusing is done
with a screw which moves the mi-
croscope lens so slowly it is im-
practicable to work by hand. In
focus, several hundred screws are
available for adjusting to extreme
sharpness.
This time next year, where will
you be? Live now so that your fu-
ture will not be disappointing.

It's not how much a person
has in his pocket that determines
whether or not he selects the new
1938 Parker Spcedline Vacumat ic
—it's bow much he has above
his shoulders!
Some other pens cost as much
as this revolutionary invention,
yet no one having the "low
down" 00 pens want s t o pay t hese
prices without netting these new-
day advantages. For example:
A new all-time high in ink
capacity, hence a Pen that never
starts anything it cannot finish
A Pen that shows the ENTIRE
ink supply—shows when to refill
—hence one that never runs dry
in classes or exams.
An utterly exclusive Style—
laminated Pearl and Jet—now
with slender Specdline shape—
the most restful ever conceived.
And not merely modern ia
Style, but wholly modern in
mechanism, too. Its SACUNM
and patented Diaphragm Filter
radically departs from all carHer
types, regardless of whether they
have a rubber ink sac or not.

pedigreed Beauty today at any
