use for sleds and skates, while some
of the men folks can learn how to

When the thermometer drops down
to 20 above zero, in the middle of

that the State Of Delaware is having
just about all the winter weather de-
sired by any Of the folks.
THOSE WHO HUNT the fields and

BY ROBERT It. SMALL.


The days OF "Old SIeuth" are over
so far as the present administration
of the United States Department of
Justice is concerned. The old-time
detective, the man of shadows" and
''frame-ups" and "get the goods" in
any way you can, rs thing of the
past. There is new order.
1t is an interesting experiment
that Attorney General Stone is max
ing. He has cast aside all of the
ancient notions of how a bureau Of
investigation. which is the Depart
ment of Justice name for secret serv
ice. should be conducted.
Detectives of the old school the
whole world over. from Scotland
Yard to Toxic, will be watching this
new idea in Washington. Naturally,
they are skeptical They look
askance at the appointment of a
young lawyer 80 years old, to head
one of the most important branches
of the Governments system for the
control and apprehension Of crimi-
tnals.
Hoover Inspires Confidence.
But John Edgar Hoover, the dis
ciple of Blackstone, who has sue
ceeded William J. Burns, the rein
carnation of Old Sleuth. has gone
calmly about his work in a manner
which has given the Justice officials
feeling that they need worry no
more about the proper conduct Of
the affairs of the Investigation Blu
reau. Burns Internationally was a
great detective. He knew the ways
and wiles of criminals as we'll as
any man in the world. He had been
brought up with his nose to the
ground. AS a kid he used to hang
around the police station at Column
bus. Ohio. He came by his detective
instinct naturally.
In appointing Burns to head his
bureau of Investigations former At
torney General Daugherty thought TO
still in advance any criticism as TO
the manner in which that branch of the
Government secret service was to be
handled. He wanted to assure the
world that no malefactor, however
small or great, would escape the eagle
eye and massive brains of the great
detective. But Burns appointment
caused a great deal of heart burning
among all the other professional de-
tectives of the day. Burns was the
head of a private agency and the
other agency heads thought his Gov
