Las Vegas, N. M. Aug. 21,
'The New Mexico Normal Uni
versity of East Las Vegas has
recently added to its faculty ex
President James M. Cook of the
. Baptist Montezuma College of
Las Vegas. Mr. Cook was called
to the presidency of the new
Baptist school a little over a
year ago after a successful teach
ing and school administrative
career in Texas. After a year's
school, his resignation was sub
mitted to its board of Trustees
..and he entered the service of
the Normal University as one of
its summer session instructors.
The connection thus begun is
. now made permanent. Ex
President Cook will be employed
in the College department as
one of the Professor of Educa
tion, handling, divisions in Psy
chology and School management
His combination sf scholarship
and practical administrative
school work make him a most
valuable addition to the faculty
of the Normal University.
His appointment practically
completes the teaching staff for
the coming year and adds ta its
reputation as the strongest and
hpst one the Normal University
has ever had. The faculty is
recruited from all of the strong
and well known school of the
country. Columbia. Chicago,
California, Colorado, Indiana,
and numerous others, and is
marked for successful teaching
experience as well as for prepar
ation in these best schools of the
country.
KILLING TOO MANY
Autos killed 12,500 Americans
and injured 300,000 in 1921, says
Albert W. Whitney, insurance
exnert. Everv erood-sized town
in the United States has its daily
automobile accident which either
kills or maims someone. The
victims, buried like war heroes,
would fill a large field with
little white crosses. It would
be well if every motor car driver
could visualize that fast grow
ing cemetary, also the fathers
and mothers who allow children
to cross streets alone.
A uniform code of simple traf
fic rules should be enforced from
one end of this country to the
other, and every motor car driv
er should police himself and ev
ery other driver. We are killing
too many people thru careless
ness. .

ITnf avoraWe Month for Range,
Crops and Stock,
Santa. Fe. Aug. 12 The gen
eral climate survey for New Mex
icafo July fpUows:
The. month of July just closed
was one. of the warmest and
driest of record for the state
Only July 1853 (1.23 in.), 1903
(0.85 in. and 1913 (1.27 in.)
were drier, and July, 1910 (74.2)
was warmer. A general and mar
ked deficiency of precipitation
occured, greates in the central
and southern counties, but large
in all parts of the state, except
a small portion in the southwest
part of Colfax and north of Mora
where a small excess occurred.
The showers of the month were
very local in character, of short
duration and generally insuffi
cient, although small districts in
the eastern half of the State re
ceived sufficient rainfall to af
ford fair crop and range growth.
Showers occured at some poiat
within the State each day during
the month, but were most com
mon on the 1st to 7th, 12th to
14th. and 23d to the close of the
month. Contrary to the usual
summer conditions any mount
ain districts were poorly favored,
as well as some of the lower val
leys and the west and northwest
counties.
A general excess of tempera
ture occured, barring small lacal
areas. The month began fairly
cool, but warm weather followed
on the 5th or 6th. While cool
nights again occured on the 14th
and other dates, little relief from
high day temperatures occured.
The 16th and 21st were probably
the wannest days of the month,
anche 3d, or 4th the coolest.
It was an unfavorable month
for range, crops and stock. Only
scattered districts in the east
em dry land and irrigated val
leys prospered under the prolon
ged heat and dryness, and the
month closed with a large part
of the state crop condition, with
stock only fair. Losses continued
in the drier central and western
districts, and the outlook for fall
and winter range was poor.
Temperature
The monthly mean for the sta
te, based upon the records of 105
stations, having a mean altitude
of about 5,000 ft., was 74.0, or
1.3 above the normal, as deter
mined from the departures of 65
stations having record for 10
I years or more. The month was
!3.6 warmer than July, 1921. The
highest monthly mean was 83.0
'at the Elephant Butte Dam and
the highest recorded temperatu
re 110 at Orogrande on the 11th
land 20th. The lowest monthly
mean was 58.6 at Harvey's Up
!per Ranchand the lowest recor
ded temperature 30 at Chama on
the 9th and 10th. The greatest
local daily range of temperature
was 58 at Char.:a on the 11th.
Precipitation
The average precipitation for
the State, based upon the records
of 175 stations, was 1.32 inches,
or 1.25 below the normal, as de-
'termined by the departures oí
122 stations having records for
10 years or more. The month was
3.09 inches drier than July, 1921
The greatest monthly amount
(was 4.59 inches at Aurora, and
theré was no precipitation at
f Lindrith. The greatest amount in
any 2f consecutive- hours was
2:5 inches n Buchanan on
the 13th. There was & days: with
0.01 inch or more precipitation,
whale-16 were- clear, IS partly
cloudy and but 2 cloudy. The
prevailing wind direction was
from the southwest.
Relative Humidity
The average for the month
waá 40 per cent at the State Ag
ricultural College ; 39 per cent at
the State University; 44 per cent
at Ros well; 48 per cent at Santa
Fe, 56 per cent at Amarillo and
42 per cent at El Paso, the month
proving unusually low in humidi
ty for the rainy season.

"LIE DETECTOR" EXCITES

Witness
Washington. August 23. 1922
The "sphygnomanometer" or lie
detector, which Justice ivicooy
refused to admit as a creditable
witness in the trial of James
Frye for murder, continues to
hold interest in Capital legal
circles. Most recent of its pro
ponents is Dr. E. E. Dudding,
head of the Prisoners' Relief So
ciaty, who has submitted liimself
to its tests in an endeaver to ob
tain what he terms "tardy just
ice" for himself. Dr. Dudding
was Convicted and sentenced for
manslaughter a number of years
ae-o. served his time, and since
'then has devoted himself to the
aid and reiiet oi released prison

ON COUNTRY AMERICA'S DOLLARS
It is estimated Harold McCormick of Harvester Company, sliced fifteen
million off fortune to wed opera singer.
At his reauest. Dr. William
Marston, professor of legal psy
chology at American University,
and Paul E. Hadlick secretary
of the American Psycho-Legal
,Scciety, conducted the test. The
instrument is similar xo. mat
which physicians use for testing
blood pressure, but has an es
pecially sensitive needle upon a
recording dial, which fluctuates
with any change in blood press
ure. It is explained that fear,
amrer and Dain cause the needle
to jump, and that no man tells a
he the outcome of which con
cerns him, without experiencing
fear. As neither anger or pain
enters into the examination of a
witness in court, the iumning of
the needle Vhen a question is an
swered is held to indicate fear,
and therefore lack of truth.
Dr. Duddinc was Dut through
a gruelling examination as to
the alleged crime for which he
was convicted and sentenced,
his inquisitors doing all ih their
power to confuse and try him
At no time did the needle jump
up, indicating, so the experts
said, that his ancwers were in
variably truthful.
Sam Strong was in Kansas a
few days last week buying seed

Company.
