gested means of maintaining Or in
creasing forage productivity on vest
ern ranges, according to d. A. Shoe
maker, inspector of grazing, southwest
ern district.
The bulletin states that next to over
stocking, too early grazing is chiefly
responsible for the deterioration of our
ranges. The yield of forage is small if
the plants are cropped when the
average height is less than four
inches. Grazing when the plants are
at this stage" the bulletin continues,
stunts the vegetation and does not
satisfy the hunger of the animals be-
cause of the low nutritiye value of the
short, succulant forage AS general
rule sod grasses should make from
three to four inches Of new growth
and bunch grass about six to eight
inches before grazing begins. The
method of preventing too early grazing
on yearlong ranges is one of the most
perplexing problems with which the
stockmen of the southwest have to
deal. The publication describes prac-
tical range management practices
which if put into effect will go long
way toward solving this problem.
With regard to frequency of grazing
the bulletin states that grazing closely
twice or even three times during the
season is not detrimental provided the
first cropping is late enough, and the
intervals between are sufficiently long
for the vegetation to recover. This is
especially true of grasses because the
growing point is located at the base of
the leaf blade, while the growth of

 What do you think l am--Jacke Coogan?'
 Jackie Coogan--or Lon Chaney-it was all the same to the police, who dsregarded Dave's pro- tests, and pushed him roughly to the platform.
 "Dapper' Dan Harnett, who police records show has started and stopped many bullets dur ing his hectic career, was another who objected to being "shot.'

 The police have many methods for tracking down crime, but the new device is regarded as the logical sequel to finger print evidence the most important ant-crime machinery hitherto. It is agreed by experts that there is not one chance in sixty-four million that two people would have the same finger markings But Dr. Albert Wehde, formerly laboratory worker in the Department of Identification of the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, has startled the police authorities and prosecuting attorneys by the discovery that it is possible to forge finger prints.

 As method of Identification, finger prints have been held in high regard by police officials
New Britain herald., 1927-12-15

Most criminals are careless and not pos Ma sessed of the patience to bother with tech nique required to leave behind them the finger prints of an innocent person.
 But it is entirely possible, Mir. Wehde states, that master crime might be planned and exc cuted and telltale finger print left behind for the deliberate purpose of bringing the police to the door of person who had nothing to do with the affair Augustus Thomas dramatzed this situation in his play, Nemesis
 In his book, Finger Prints Can Be Forged" written under joint authorship with John Nicholas Beffel and published by the Tremonio Publishing Company, Mir. Wehde gives this de- tailed account of how finger prints can be forgsd:
 ''The first requisite for forgery of finger impression" he says, "is, of course, possession of genuine print. But it is easy to obtain such a print, inasmuch as any smooth-surfaced article cannot be handled without leaving digital marks. These marks may readily De developed and brought into plain view to the naked eye by dusting powder them, powder contrasting in color with the object upon which the print has been placed.

IGHTS, ACTION! CAMFRAw

But the scene of the shooting" was
 not motion picture studio. It was the Desplaines Street Station House, Chicago, where most unusual happening in cinema his tory took place. The occasion was the filming of the super "Show-up" directed by Chief of De- tectives William O'Connor, and enacted by an extraordinary cast of two hundred and fifty sus- poets, record men, gangsters and hoodums
 No frivolous gesture, this-no college boy con- test-no attempt to select the most "three-gun" gangster to be sent to Hollywood as a slave to the type system; but serious innovation in criminal records whereby weekly "shots'' are to be taken of rounded-up suspects in order to facilitate criminal Identification. The films, by being sent to other cities, will make the show-up nationwide in scope, with possibility that some other city will recognize in the group wanted man.
 In this manner, an effective and almost per- feet system of Identification will be established Features take a different aspect with changing expressions,' states Detective O'Con- nor. Many times we have been deceived by the difference between face in repose, as it appears
