Dr.. Souder asserted that typewriters
also leave a characteristic message for

products of the typewriter may be
traced to their source. Handwriting, too
is of value in criminal investigation, he
said, although not SO dependable as gun
and typewriter identification.
Talk Is illustrated.
AS the Federal expert talked he illus
trated his points on large blackboard,
on a lantern screen and by exhibiting

income.
Old high cost of living, ogre of the
war and postwar period, isn't the
terrifying figure it used to be and the
slump in commodity prices threatens to
make it still less formidable. The con-
sumer's dollar now goes much farther
than it did in 1920 and bith farther
than in 1929 and may go even farther
before the end of 1880.
Real Savings in Many Homes.
Ethelbert Stewart. commissioner OF
labor statistics, says the purchasing
power of the retail or home" dollar
applied to foodstuffs last May was
S1.056, compared with 81 in July, 1929
For family whose monthly outlay for
food is about $50 the. saving is from
$3.50 to SO a month-ho small item in
homes where pennies are potent.
Government economists say that while

The wholesale price level of all COM

have dropped in wholesale prices.
While up-to-the-minute figures on
the general cost of living are not avail

of December, 1929, shows a big drop
from the peak of June, 1920. In 80
representative cities the average cost
of living decreased 20.8 per cent. In
nearly all of these cities the decrease
in the cost of clothing since the silk
shirt era has been tremendous. Rents
have decreased steadily since 1923 and

CRIME DETECTION IS TAUGHT

Experts in Government Serv.
ice Tell Students Here
Latest Methods.
BY REX COLLIER.

Organized society's answer to the
challenge or organized and scientific
minded crime may be found in an i'm
prov1sed class room overlooking Penn
sylvania avenue and Eighteenth street
where Uncle Sam is conducting an ad-
vanced course in the fine art of GRIM
inology.
In this novel class roor, a group OF
university graduates is being shown that
the highly specialized science of crime
detection Is not a myth of the detective
novels.
Under the tutelage of veteran Grimm
ologists of the Department of Justice
and trained analysts of other Federal
bureaus, these young attorneys and ac-
countants' are learning the fascinating
trick OF solving real-life mysteries OF
the underworld.
Prepare for u. S. Jobs.
When they complete the exacting
course-and they will do so by the end
of this week-they will have become
eligible to fare forth as probationary
special agents of the Bureau of Invest
ment. This bureau, under the director
ship of j. Edgar Hoover, is probably the
most Secretive of all investigative aaen-
cies of the Government. Certainly 1t
must be the most exclusie, for only COL
!ege graduates are qualified to become
its operatives.
Yesterday afternoon these aspiring
Philo VanceS received from DR.. Wilmer
Souder, ballistics expert of the Bureau
of Standards detailed instruct'o on in
modern scientific methods of tracing
criminals through gun and typewriter
Identification. DR.. Souder is the Gov
ernment's outstanding authority on gun
identification and the man who identi-
ned the fatal gun used in the Mary
Baker case. His skill as microscopist
has paved the way for solution of some
of the Nations most bathing murder
mysteries
During the lecture by DR.. Souder ii
was disclosed that as a final conclusive
test of the infallibility of bullet analyses,
the Smith & Wesson concern recently
submitted to DR.. Souder two revolvers
claimed by the manufacturers to be
absolutely Identical" and invited him
to attempt to distinguish between them.
The unerring lens of a special micro
scope device enabled the Bureau OF
Standards scientist to prove that al
through both weapons were made by the
same workman and with the same tools
and machinery. there were numerous
microscopic differences between them.
Science Of Identification.
DR.. Souder told the embryo investi-
gators that gun identification has be-
come science fully as exact and I'M
erring as fingerprint identification.
The barrel, the firing pin and the
breech mechanism of every gun leave
