Science. foolproof, swift and in,

expert of President Hoover's Ma.

versal Service yesterday.
Mechanical devices already in

genious methods of the mythical
Sherlock Holmes seem crude and
obsolete.
He added. however, that America.
in many. respects. Is a century
behind Europe In the application
of latest scientific methods to GRIM

! "But we are learning RAPIDLY.
Some Of the scientific inventions
being employed to apprehend crim.<
inals are the radio. the lie-de-
tectOr, the automatic camera and
electric signalling devices"
Convinced that science can solve
even the so-called perfect crimes, Z"
Vollmer. as chief of police of Berke-

ident of the international Associa-
tion of Police Chiefs. has taken
the lead in utilizing scientific meth
ods in selecting policemen and in
detecting crime and apprehending
criminals. The commission regard.
ed Vollmer's work so highly that
It called him to Washington to
take charge of its investigation OF
police systems.
= To show that the triumph OF
science over the criminal is COM
plete, Vollmer pictured a case typi-
cal OF the modern police system.
The scene is a detective head

bank has been robbed. The bandits
escaped in a motor car. The detec-

! There is little chance for the
robbers to get away. More likely
due to the swift and systematic pur-
suit they are captured. He con-
tinued:

MOODY and the Public Utilities

Governor Moody is for state control or supervision
Of public utilities. He is reminded that the press Of
the country carried a story not long ago that the
House Of Morgan had perfected a $780, 100000 merger
of New York state hydro-electric companies. He is
reminded that the New York Times carried a story Of
the alinement of the public utilities of the United
States into three major groups-a Morgan group in
the East. an insult group in the Middle West, and a
group on the Pacific coast"
He Is reminded that the New York Journal of
Commerce commented as follows: "the reported pos
tibility of a tie-up between the insult utilities and
3he North American company points to the develop
ment Of two giant consultations, beside which other
groups. though great in themselves, would sink into
the role Of minor companies"
This is the age Of big business. This is the age
Of mighty mergers. This is the billion dollar age.
Tom Connally Of Texas is a United States senator.
Discussing mergers as well as bank consultations,
the junior senator of the Lone Star commonwealth
said, "it looks as if the country will be controlled BY
a few wealthy people"
Regardless of this the sun is shining in grand old
Texas. Bumper crops are being harvested in grand
old Texas. Bumper crops remain to be harvested il
grand old Texas. A farm relief board will be grind
ing shortly with a revolving fund of $5o0,O00.O 900. Will
this board and revolving fund find a ready market in
foreign land for surplus cotton and surplus wheat
and SURPRISES Of other kinds Of basic staples piled
up by the American tilers Of the soil?

Florida, a Warning

Closing Of eight banks in Florida in the past two
weeks should prove a powerful warning to the Valley.
The banks closed are in the heart of the citrus
growing section, where the dread Mediterranean fruit
fly infestation is at its worst.
The Merchants State Bank at Melbourne wired to
the state comptroller ION account Of continuous With
drawals unable to open" Everything was going out
and nothing coming in. No crops to market for the
past several weeks and nothing in sight which will
bring revenue to the farmers.
Florida had a boom to burst over night, spreading
financial destruction in every direction. Two terrific
storms caused huge losses of life and property. These
were calamitous.
The fv infestation has struck down agriculture d
basic industry. This likely will prove more disastrous
than any Of the things which have happened Deloie'
The fv NAV never be eradicated and If it IS not u
viii be a constant menace. Control OF the peS' VIZ
not release the state from the quarantine.
Letters coming to Valley people from 1rlenoS III
Florida tell of the pitiable plight of orchsrdists ana
farmers there. The quarantine has been almost as
severe on truck growers as on owners OF the Gurus
groves.
The the Mediterranean fly ever be discovered
In the Valley the same condition would exist here. In
fact. an infestation might easily prove even more
disastrous to the Valley than it has to FLORIDA.
Florida has developed the tourist traffic to a point
where it is a major industry and the fly nfeStatloh
will not seriously interfere with this.
Although it may not always be true, so far agricul-
ture is the one principal source Of revenue to the
Valley. To destroy agriculture in the Valley would
be to destroy the Valley-at present. Agriculture
always will be the leading industry Of the section.
There is no reason to be alarmed over these facts.
They are pointed out only to stress the Importance
of taking every possible precaution to keep out the
Mediterranean fly. The federal government is doing
all in it's power to prevent spread of the pest and the
Texas governor, legislature and department of agri-
culture has mapped out a system Of procedure which
it il. believed has closed every avenue Of approach to
the fly. Valley citizens can assist by obeying the reg
uIations and by reporting any i~nfraction observed.

engaged to marry him when she was
free. And he had sent for CuddleS

Bark had SeLl each other when she

he wants to marry me? When the
last thing he did as leave a note

Pat bent cr h-r, packing fever

They both laughed. But Kent was
not SO jovial. He ate his break
fast after that j ~nsilence, and went
to work with a curt nod. For once
Vivian had a happy Sttle triumph

The Once Over
BY Fl. Z. PHILLIPS

We're naming diets after cities now. Hollywood
has won the first recognition in the big national
Shrink and Shrivel Carnival. The latest fad among
the ladies whose 1928 summer gowns don't fit them
this season is the Hollywood Diet. It is an 18-day
hunger strike dedicated to the proposition Of making
the people thin and the citrus fruit-growers fat.
"Back to girlishness in 432 hours. is the slogan.
Why look fat and happy when you can become thin
and miserable in better than three weeks with a little
will power and a lot of grapefruit?
Grapefruit was formerly regarded as q rather cum
bersome fruit whose chief purpose was to test the
table manners Of house guests, but today it has taken
its place in American life as a substitute for exercise.
An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but two
grapefruit a day will keep him from recognizing the
patient.
The hollywood Diet runs something like this:
FIRST A
Breakfast One-half grapefruit, toast, coffee.
Lunch: One-half grapefruit, one egg, six slices
cucumber, toast, tea or coffee.
con A
Breakfast: One grapefruit, coffee.
Lunch: One-half grapefruit, one lamb chop, one
half grapefruit.
Dinner: Half grapefruit, half grapefruit, four
radishes, half grapefruit. And if you're really hun
cry try some grapefruit.
THIRD DAY
Breakfast: How about grapefruit?
Lunch: How about grapefruit?
Dinner: How about grapefruit?
Prominent among those losing weight through the
hollywood Diet are the apple-growers of America.
They lose five pounds every time they realize that
they let the citrus fruit men steal a march on them.
There isn't an apple, peach, pear or banana on the
Hollywood Diet.
The watermelon interests, it is understood, stand
ready to part with any amount Of money to the per-
son who suggests a plan for putting across water
melons as flesh-reducers.
Why not, for example, a Los Angeles, Chillicothe
or West Philadelphia Diet, with watermelons pre-
dominating.
Breakfast: One-quarter watermelon, dry toast.
coffee.
Lunch: One watermelon, three olives, one egg.
Dinner: Two watermelons.
ECOND DAY.
Breakfast: Half watermelon, dry toast, coffee.
Lunch: Three artificial flies, half watermelon. one
boiled pine cone.
Dinner: One bass plug, three wooden golf tees, one
straw hat brim, one

DETERMINE DISTANCE TO
STAR (TRIGONOMETRIC
BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter

by 6AlUlAuL 0CNs Val RCA4bCA
A surveyor wishes to determine
the distance to the summit Of a
mountain. Without the necessity Of
climbing it, he lays out a base line
Of prescribed length in the valley;
finds the angle from each end Of
the base line to the summit. Then
having the base line and the di-
mension Of the angles, by trigno-
metric method, he may determine
the SUBMITS distance. The astron-
omer, in finding the distance to q
star, takes the diameter Of the
earth's. annual orbit-186, 000, 900
miles-as a base line; determines
the angles from the base line six
months apart; from this data he
computes the stars distance. He
has determined the stars parallax.
