legged sleuhs of the government and 9TH
er services imagines these stories to be-
true, and the impressions he receives re-
main with him for a long time. As
matter of fact, no such thing as a dis.
guise for secret service detective is
known, and | do not know Of case
ever worked by an operator of the bu-
reau in which false faces or other arti-
cles of this kind have ever been used. !
do not know of a reputable detective in
any city or state who uses DISCUSSES.
They nre not effective, and the best In
formed men in the running down Of
criminals believe that they do harm and
quickly expose the man who Is attempt.
ing to operate case. "-
1.-THE men OF the secret service of the
government frequently clothe themselves
to suit the vicinity and the people among
whom they are at work. For instance,
