Shiny gold pieces again came into
their own today as Christmas gifts.
when thousands of five, ten and a
somewhat lesser number of twenty
dollar gold pieces gladdened the
hearts Of recipients.
For with the increased amount OF
gold available, with restrictions upon
it's circulation removed and with the
recent order of the Secretary of the
Treasury to exchange gold for pa
per in unlimited sums. the Christmas
giving public turned again this year
to shining yellow gold. the gift of the
Washington banks exchanged num-
bers of gold pieces for paper. and
there were continuous calls at the
Treasury bank for the coin of the
realm for Christmas gifts. Although
the Treasury'S gold Shone with luS-
trous splendor. practically all of 1t
given out was dated some years back.
Perhaps it is bit significant that
the country which is slowly accumu-
latinS a larger supply of gold than
any other nation in the world should
begin turning to gold coins for
Christmas.
But gold coins wear away. They
are poor pocket pieces, If one wants
to consider actual value, for when a
gold piece wears away to a certain
percentage of it's weight it will no
longer be accepted by the govern

Lists 100000 Names in

KNOWS NO MYSTERY
Every Deed Leaves It's Trace, De-
clares Edmond Bayle of
Police Service.
KNOWS NO MYSTERY

PARIS. December 25-A chemist of
recent years has become the best
known detective in France. Edmond
Bayle is a small. dark, quiet man; he
works in n modern laboratory in the
Palais de Justice: he is feared by
criminals of all classes. and his ulti-
mate fame promises to surpasS that
of Alphonse Bertillon. the French fin
ger-print expert, who died in 1914.
DR. Bayle is chief of the technical
bureau of the Paris police depart
ton of the republic is concentrate ed.
classified and studied. From this
bureau the expert chemist and physi-
cst gives directions IN the field of
criminal detection. So successful has
he been that the ignorant criminal
classes have come to regard him as
Il worker in black magic. His unique
methods have been studied by the
police department of New York city.
DIR. Bayle rarely gives much atten-
tion to the personality of criminals
or their particular psychology. He
works rather with material thinSS.
His work shop consists of many rooms
and passageways. equipped with all
the paraphernalia of a big industrial
laboratory. and includes 1t photograph
gallery. He has spectroScopcS, micro
scopes and Nray machines by the
dozen, each fitted for Il special pur-
pose. such as examining blood spots,
forged documents, counterfeit money.
powder-burned clothes and the
wreckage that is picked up on a Grim
inal trail.
S,OOO,OOO Names Listed.
Or. Rayle's study is lined with
books on science and catalog rec
ords of his work. In the records of
his bureau there are registered no
less than 100000 names of persons
involved in crimes. past and present.
"The detection of crime today is
something very different from the
popular conception" said DIR. Bayle
to the Associated Press correspondent.

"The Sherlock Holmes and Arsene

their feats are no doubt most enter

them. From my point of view there
is no crime that cannot be detected.
that does not leave it's traces be-
hind. at least theoretically. For one
thing, criminals, as rule. are not
very intelligent. The uneducated
man usually commits crimes OF pas
sion and brutality; the educated man
runs to fraud.
MY methods astound the ignorant
criminals. and they have come to fear
me when l enter the courts. The So
called intelligent professional Grim
inals seem to have begun to try to
thwart nae. in small way. NOVA
days they endeavor. by wearing
gloves. not to leave finger prints be-
hind, but we have reached the point
where their finger prints through
gloves can be detected.
Crime is really not very mysteri-
Gus. The curious point to me is that
the crimes which interest me most
do not interest the public.
There has been very great prog

not seek to convict. 1t looks for the

FARMERS ARE FLOWING
In GENESEE DISTRICT


The ground has dried rapidly dur

er, and reports come to The Star
Mirror that number of farmers are
plowing in the Genesee district, some
ten miles from here. If the weather
remains warm, blowing will be in
progress generally in the Palouse
country by the first of May and by
the middle of May much of the spring
seeding should be done. Because of
the ideal weather last fall, which con-
tinued until well into November, much
plowing has been done, so the late
spring will not have the effect that it
would otherwise have had in delaying
seeding.
The roads are getting in fair con-
ditiOn, and with less than a week of
spring-like weather, there is notice
able effect on business.
