LUCAS' 'PSYCHOLOGY 16 i j '; -'- - . i - '- i 4 IS DECLARED BOGUS Prof. De Busk Testifies $50,000 Libel Suit. in PHRENOLOGY IS FLOUTED SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 17. (SDe- original engagement may make their ciai.) Announcement has been made . plans. nere or the engagement of Miss Sadie Educator Declares Methods Used by Plaintiff in Reaching Con clusions Guesswork. "There is not a thing in evidence, no charts or description ot methods used by Lucas to lead me for one minute to say that his conclusions are based on psychology, psycho-analysis or on fact," declared Dr. B. W. De Busk, professor or psychology at the University of Oregon, yesterday, during cross-examination, which was fast taking the form of heckling, In the 150.000 libel suit of Alzamon Ira Lucas against the Portland Evening Telegram. Because teatures of the work might permit abuse or confidence, a psycho analyst should be of unquestioned morality, emphasized the witness, the field being one in which an un scrupulous man is a menace. Several alleged authorities pro duced by Lucas had been repudiated by the witness, leading Nelson R. Jacobson, attorney for Lucas, to ask. "In other words, any scientist who uses different methods or does not reach the same conclusions you do is not reliable?" Challenge Not Accepted. "Name any reputable psychologist nr psycho-analyst in the country and I'll abide by what he says!" chal lenged Professor DeBusk. The gage was not accepted. A "vocational chart" prepared by Lucas was in evidence. Asked on cross-examination how he knew the method used by Lucas in arriving at conclusions was "guesswork," the professor demonstrated the impossi bility of determining inner physical and mental facts concerning a man by looking at him across a table, as a witness had testified was Lucas' method of examination. "If you want my frank opinion." he concluded, "compare this chart with any of the phrenological charts on Burnside street and you will see a surprising likeness." He had already stated that phrenology, which Lucas had specialized in during his youth, had not been recognized as of any value by science since 1870. In reply to questions seeking an admission that no one could get any where in science, except through the recognized channels of scientific thought, the psychologist dropped into forceful slang. Man Mont Deliver Oooili. "All a man has to do is to deliver the goods," he declared, "and he will win instant recognition, no matter what his race, his creed or his methods." The plaintiff called Dr. DeBusk's attention to" an article in Physical Culture for October, 1918, supporting borne of Lucas' claims. "There is an introduction by Have lock Ellis, who has written more sex rot than any man I know." com mented the witness. "This is not a scientific magazine." The class of people designated as "little birds" by Dr. DeBusk are the bane of the existence of doctors and psycho-analysts, he said. They are the sort who have nothing wrong with them, but like to talk about their supposed ills and be patted on the back, he said. "Rot!" was the response of Dr. Law rence Selling when asked his opin ion of Lucas' pamphlet on "Vitaliza tion." Dr. R. J. Marsh declared the advice to bathe the only thing of value in the health instructions contained in Lucas' booklet. Claims of Lucas that he could pre vent paralysis and heart failure were held impossible by these medical men. Danziger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Danziger, to Leon Helfond of Portland, Or.

Just why everyone should eat bran and plenty of It is fully disclosed in Alfred W. JlcCann'a book. "The Sci ence of Kating." This extraordinary book tells how Surgeon-General Ta kaki of the Japanese navy was made a baron in recognition of his discovery that many diseases prevalent among Japanese soldiers and sailors was due to the loss of certain food minerals contained in the outer coating or per icarp of the whole grain, which Is always removed and discarded in the milling of white flour. His astonish ing discoveries have been fully con- ' firmed in the Japanese hospitals at Uiroshime, Toklo. Kovo and Sasebo. So many experiments ot this kind have been noted in medical circles during the last few years that the wonder is everybody does not eat a few tablespoonf uls of bran everyday. Bran is the enemy of constipation, which invariably surrenders under the persistent attack of the outer coating of wheat so foolishly discarded by th American people. After a personal visit with Mr. W. K. Kellogg, the veteran cereal food manufacturer of Battle Creek, Mich Mr. McCann stated: "At last a bran food has been per fected which contains the rejected mineral salts and colloids so indis pensable to the elimination processes of the human body.

There are sound scientific reasons for claiming that every 'Waxtite' package of Kel logg's Krumbled Bran is charged with buoyance, good feeling, pep, stamina and endurance. All the medicinal salts that nature has stored up in the outer layers of wheat are carefully pre served by the W. K. Kellogg process and in the cooking the flavor and texture of the bran is vastly im proved, so that the finished product is not only a wholesome, but also a surprisingly palatable dish."
