DIESEL STUDY FUND
URGEDBY ROBINSON
New Naval Engineering Head
Seeks 49, 200, 600 for
Engine Tests.

Rear Admiral 8. M. Robinson, new
head Of the Navy Department Bureau
Of Engineering, indicated today the
Navy would renew its demand for $3.-
0C0,0 900 from Congress at the next ses-
sion for experimentation with Diesel
engines.
since its unsuccessful attempt last
year to secure the appropriation, the
Navy has not abandoned its belief that
this country Tags behind Europe In de-
signing Diesels for propulsion Of sub
marines and certain other naval craft.
Would Study Foreign Plans.
To remedy this, It was proposed 70
purchase plans Of the latest improve
ments made abroad and to encourage
the construction Of such engines by
commercial builders in this country.
The plans also called for installation
Of Diesel engines In O submarine and q
surface ship for experimentation.
Obstacles shown.
Some opposition to the appropriation
appeared on the ground It called for
expenditure of part of the funds In
foreign countries. It was contained In
the naval construction bill which failed
Of action in both branches Of Congress.
Bids were opened recently for q light
weight Diesel for experimental pur-
poses but all were rejected yesterday
because funds for the purpose were not
available

CHICAGO, June unfortunately, I
did not have to crash the gate Of the
guarded Scientific Crime Detection
Laboratory at Northwestern Univer-
sity and thus run the risk Of getting
tangled up in the burglar traps.
Through the courtesy Of DR.. Herman
cago. had played an important part
in the creation of the laboratory, I
obtained permission to visit the estab-
lishment and interview members OF the
staff
The laboratory is on the nth floor
OF what was once q warehouse, but Is
now a part of the university's McKin-
lock Campus, hardly the lake shore.
The building Is unpretentious, inside
and out.
I was ushered by q secretary into
q small room which was Director CAL
vim Goddard's office. Goddard was
seated at a small desk, the top Of
which was piled with papers held down
with enlarged models of shells and bull
lets. He was reading a typewriter
paper.
Excuse me for moment, until I
finish checking over this report" he
said, mctioning me to seat.
Chance TO Look Around.
The report, learned later, was his
finding in a recent murder case. The
contents Of the report were extremely
damaging to prominent business man
In another city. In highly technical
detail the paper declared the business
into the body of young woman.
The delay gave me an opportunity
TO look around On a foot-high bench
beside Goddard's desk rested a micro
scope Of unusual design. 1t resembled
somewhat an inverted Y. Nearby was
a tall metal container filled with cot
ton waste, such as mechanics use On
a wide window ledge was q curious
instrument not unlike a miniature
lathe.
Against the wall were propped three
or four ugly-looking rifles of large
caliber. There was a cabinet contain
1ng many volumes on sociological sub
jects. several Of them in French and
German. The walls Of the room were
filled with framed pictures of weapons,
acknowledgements Of bullets and what
I took to be rogues' gallery likenesses
Of criminals.
So engrossed was I in my study of
objects in the room that Goddard's
voice startled me. Handing the paper
he had just signed to an assistant who
appeared in response to a buzZer, he
turned to me and said:
How do you like my art gallery?"
Great" I replied. What do those
pictures representa-"
Meaning Of Ballistics.
They represent definite steps in the
progress Of forensic balliStics," he ex-
planned. But first let me define what
I mean by forensic ballistics. I don't
think you'll find it listed in the die
tionary. Ballistics, to Army ordnance
men, means the study of projectiles in
flight. It has come to mean something
entirely different among criminologists,
however.
I'VE mean by it the study of bullets
that have come to rest, with particular
reference to the 'fngerprints' left upon
them by the barrel Of gun. 1t APP
plies also to similar study Of elected
shells, with view to determining mark
ings left on them by the firing pin and
breech mechanism. The dictionary says

TRADE COMMISSION
WARNED ON CHANGES
Humphrey Criticizes U. s. Group
for Standardization Work on
Industrial Practice.

Criticism Of the Federal Trade Com
mission for too much Standardization
Of trade practice rules was voiced yes
terday by william e. Humphrey, one Of
It's members.
Humphrey said in q statement that
many OF the rules adopted by various
industries are being changed by the
commission solely for It's own conven-
fence and warned that complete stand
ardization will mean the destruction Of
the trade practice conference"
The rules are changed, he said, not
because they are illegal or have been
abused or have not worked out well. but
because 1t Is easier for the commission
to make one rule for all industries than
1t Is to study all the rules for each in
dustry.
Carried to the extreme" he said,
Standardization would mean that the
conferences would consist merely in
mailing to the members OF the industry
a copy Of the antitrust laws. It would
destroy benefits that come to the in
dustry from meetings with the commits
sion. It would substitute for the guild
ance and the help and intelligence Of
the commission q 2-cent stamp. In
short, 1t would mean the complete de-
struction Of the trade practice confer
ence."

that forensic means pertaining to the
courts'-hence the combination loren
sic ballistics' may be interpreted as
court room gun Identification.
THE bullets you see pictured in en-
larged form are projectiles that have
figured in q number of celebrated muir
der cases. The science of forensic bal
listics identified those bullets as having
come from certain guns, thereby facili-
Eating solution Of the crimes"
Goddard turned to the microscope on
the little bench and continued:
There is the instrument that has
made gun Identification a science as
dependable as flngerprint identification,
with certain limitations That COM
parison microscope, the development of
one of my former colleagues, Philip o.
Gravelle Of South Orange, N. j., has
proved that no two objects of any sort
are identical, Each gun barrel leaves
individual 'fingerprints' on the bullet
passing through 1t, and each firing pin
and breech block stamps its own pat
tern on the shell.
Bullets Linked to Guns.
Some years ago, at the Springfield
Armory, had six gun barrels made,
with the rifiing as nearly alike as it
was humanity and mechanically pos
sible to make them. Four of the BAL
rels were made on one machine and
two on another machine
In my absence shots were fred from
each of the barrels and the bullets
were secretly marked so that only the
person firing them knew from which gun
each bullet had emerged. Then the
barrels were scrambled, the bullets
were shaken together, and the lot was
given to me Tor microscopic study.
1T required but a short while to
designate accurately the barrel which
had fired each bullet, the secret mark

not have been fred from the other,
and vice versa.
Goddard opened a desk drawer and
removed several pill boxes. Uncover
ing one Of these, he picked out two
small lead bullets and sat down ct the
microscope. One of the bullets, Of dis
torted shape, he put beneath the eft
leg" Of the inverted X. attaching it to
an adjustable thumb screw holder by
means Of wax. The other bullet, more
perfect in form. was placed beneath
the other "leg."
Looking into the eyepiece at the top,
he made painstaking adjustments Of
the two holders and then said:
This microscope will bring those
bullets together so that the front half
Of one slug fits snugly against the butt
end Of the other. Look In the eyepiece
and you will see what appears to be

Moving to the window. the director

cally-lighted tube, fitted with q tiny
magnifying lens, made 1t possible to
see the whole interior Of q gun barrel

without waiting for a reply, he led
me down q corridor to a massive door,
which he opened with key. The room

More recently the writer learned Of

The Glory That Was Spain

The old biblical adage that the sins of the father
are visited upon children through many generations
may not true in biological theological sense
as once believed but there no doubt that it pos
sesses much historical and institutional validity
Current events in Spain serve to remind forcbly
of this fact No other country, perhaps, quite so
strkingly illustrates the eclipse of great nation
and culture as result of the mistaken policy of its
intellectual religious economic and political rulers.
We ordinarily do not appreciate the disasters
which absolutism and clerical intolerance have
brought to Spain. We are prone to view Spain
second-rate and decadent power, whose vicisstudes
and problems only what we would expect in the
midst of such incompetence and mediocrity.
We think of the Spain of 1898 rather than the
Spain of Charles and Philip II Yet the magnitude
of the blow which clerical bgotry and its allies have
dealt Spain can be appreciated only if consider the
Spain of today against the background OF Spanish
grandeur when Philip II assembled the throne in 1855
On that day Spain the richest and most power
full of European monarchies. Its king ruled over a
greater and richer domain than any other European
potentate with the exception of the head of the
present British empire, And the king of Spain was
something more than symbolic hgurehead of inpe-
rial unity He was real monarch and administrative
autocrat.
The Moors and Jews had put Spain at the fore
front of European learning. Spain had taken the
lead in discovery and colonization thus carving out
great empire. She had defeated the Turks and be-
come the chief naval power of the old world. She
was rich at home and possessed in addition the i'm
mensely prosperous Netherlands
She stood at the head in Catholic and clerical
prestige, through Crusades against Moors and Jews,
through later producing Loyoa and the Jesuits to
combat the Professionals and through the encourage
ment of the Inquisition to stamp out heresy.
Wise craftsmanship after 1856 would have assured
and perpetuated an Iberan dominion over the modern
world.
Yet no other great state ever has subsidized so
rapidly in prestige and power did Spain in the half
century of Philips reign. Bigotry had led to the
expulsion or suppression of the Moors and it now
was turned against the Jews.
1t promoted the fatal and bloody campaigns which
lost the Netherlands 1t encouraged the disastrous
voyage Of the Spanish Armada, which forever ended
the naval leadership, of Spain. It continued and
intensified the Inquiston, which stamped intellectual
courage independence from the Iberic peninsula
Defaulting public finance lost domestic and foreign
credit Intense nercantiistic interference with over
seas trade placed an insuperabe handicap upon
Spanish commercial and colonial development. Pot-
cal autocracy blocked the way to political progress
through representative government and constitutional
lnonarchy.
. BY 1900 Spain was on the toboggan and she had
not yet hit bottom when ths Maine sank beneath

GRENFELL'S BIRTH
February Is

February %
InN Feb. %, 1865, Sir wilfred
~ Grenfell, an English medical
missionary famed for his work in
Labrador, was born in Cheshire,
England.
Educated at Marlborough and Ok
ford, where he took the degree of
NJ. D, Grenfell studied at the Lon
don hospital under Sir Frederick
Treves.
At his suggestion, Grenfeu joined
the Royal National Mission for Deep
Sea Fishermen and for three years
cruised with it in the North sea as
medical missionary.
In 1892 he went to Labrador as
first medical missionary and there
did great work, building hospitals,
establishing homes and missions for
the inhabitants, and organizing in.
dustrial schemes. He did similar
work In northern Newfoundland.
In 1912 King George opened the
Seamen's Institute at st. Johns. In
the same year the mission, by the
uniting Of its English, American,
and Canadian branches, became the
International Grenfell Association,
Of which Grenfell became superin-
tendent.
During the World var he was at
tached as major to the Harverd sur
gical unit In France.
