Dr. La Wall has two great interests outside
of his plans fer the scientific crime detectors of
the future. They are mystery murder stories
and the hstory'of scientific murders in the past.
Il can't say which to put first because they
are so closely linked to me-" DR.. La Wall said.
But will say that think the biggest field for
fiction in the future lies in the direction of the
mystery murder.

him and examined by him the complete
picture of what actually happened
Such scientific crime detection is
very important and is therefore bound
to be the detective work of the future.
I've seen so many blunders happen be-
cause of ignorant, unscientific handling.
For instance, an unframed detective
finds soil on a dead mans shoes Does
he know how to determine whether it
is soil from one county or another vi
cinity so miles away? No Yet the riddle
of the soil can be solved Immediately by
scientific means.
For this purpose we have begun to
collect objects for our crime museum
We will have every type of soil found
within radius of so miles of Philadel-
phia, and we will show the chemical
and physical factors of every kind
I'VE will have exhibits of all kinds
w of rope, twine, string paper and
fabrics which have been used in con-
nection with crime and which can
serve as valuable clues We will have
specimens of every kind of cigarette
smoked. The paper and the tobaccos of
cigarettes differ great deal.
Ordinary an investigator has to go
out and buy all the different brands of
cigarettes before he can check up and
find out which kind the guilty or the
injured party was smoking. If they are
all on exhibit, how easy it will be to
compare the one he has found with all
the others in the easel
''The only correct method to use in
crime detection is the really scientific
one. 1t is not only important to train
the scientists, as we will do, but also to
educate the police officials so that they
will at least understand and recognize
what is needed
"The scientific detective should be
consulted by the investigational depart
ment even when the crime does not ap-
pear to have been scientific one.
uCOR instance, to quote a recent case,
a body was discovered with no Wis
ible marks upon it. The police were
about to attribute the death to heart
failure, when they decided to call in an
expert
He found a tiny hole on the arm of
the dead man. 1t was a hole made by
a hypodermic needle. Soon the expert

uIN order to provide such chemist-detectives
for the future course will be open
only to those applicants who present a
bachelor or science degree in either chemisty,
biology or bacteriology. That means that each
man will have had four years of intensive
training in the sciences.
When he takes our course, he will then be
able to derive all the benefits from the many
phases of the detectives art which we will
teach him. When he graduates, he will be
ready to apply his knowledge to the solution of
actual cases
1T seems to me that the attempt to teach
police detective to the microscope by
letting him fool around with the instrument
for week or a month is absurd 1t can mean
nothing to him and therefore nothing to the
detection of a crime Police detectives should
do the outside work and leave to the laboratory
man the expert piecing together OF evidence"
In the scientific course for college graduates
which DR.. La Wall has just mapped out in de-
tail. things will be done in highly specialized
manner. Since DR.. La Wall is the head of
laboratory which does expert work for DR.
william Wadsworth, the coroner of Philadelphia
County, he has been able to plan q list Of
studies which are bound to give the ambitious
sleuths a thorough foundation in every phase
OF crime detection.
THE students will have two lecture hours,
four conference hours, four library hours
and 16 laboratory hours of work during each

of scientifically planned and
accurately exc tie crimes
which can be solved only by
masters of scientific crime detection.
The real crimes of tomorrow will also
be unraveled only by genuine crime ex-
perts, detectives trained in basic knowl-
edge of science men thoroughly equipped
to use the microscope and a host of
other laboratory instruments as well as
to identify the contents of food, drugs
fbers and textiles.
The police detective of the kind now
operating will be forced to take the back
seats because of their lack of real sci
entific training Criminals are growing
more and more subtle in their methods
and detectives must do likewise.
The writers of detective stories, begin
ming with Conan Doyle, have recognized
the importance of the expert. In the
near future detectives in fact, and, there
fore in fiction, will perforce be scientific
men.
This is the unqualified opinion of DR..
Charles Herbert La Wall, dean of the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and
Science. And he ought to know, because
he happens to combine in himself well
grounded scientific education with a vast
experience as head of a large laboratory
for scientific crime detection
DIR. La Wall has been called in to
solve any number of murder, arson and
fraud cases in which only the subtle
methods of the scientist could possibly
unravel the clegerness of the perpetrator.
BECAUSE of DR.. La Walls firm belief
that the detective of the future
must out-Philo Philo Vance in scientific
knowledge, the College of Pharmacy, of
which he is the dean, is about to an
nounce the organization of the first
school in the United States for college
bred detectives only.
In Europe number of the best uni
versities have started scientific courses
in crime detection; the Universities of
California and of Southern California
include scientific crime detection in their
curricula, and Northwestern University
last year started some lectures in police
training and the hunting down of clues.
But the Philadelphia College will be
the very first to allow only men with
full-f1edged college degrees to enroll.
What's more, after the aspiring and am
bilious Hawkshaws will have completed
their years training successfully. they
will be given a masters degree in science
1T is my idea" says DR.. La Wall,
that every county in the country should
have at least one laboratory where ex-
perts in scientific crime detection can
be at constant touch with the district
attorney, ready at any moment to apply
all the resources of chemistry and micro
scopy to the latest crime.
i say emphatically-an 1 know
what I'm saying because of the many
mistakes have seen made by unscien-
tific investigators-that the well trained
scientist should be resorted to in every
smgie ccce of sudden death where the

Indiana's reserve strength will be
tested here Saturday when Billy
Hayes starts an entirely new lineup
against Mississippi State in the in
tersectional battle.
Six sophomoreS and five veteran
reserves will get the starting call,
while the Crimson regulars will take
things easy for a while in prepara-
ton for the Michigan game on Nov.

mediocre showing made by his
Hoosier regulars against Chicago
last week. In practice sessions, the
reserves have shown much power.
There is plenty of color in Satur-
days International battle here. 1t
will mark the only meeting between
Big Ten and Southern Conference
clubs this year. Hayes formerly was
grid mentor at Mississippi State,
and two of the starting Hoosier
linemen, BuSbee and Howorth, are
Mississippi boys.
Mississippi is expected to employ
an open game of many passes and
end runs against the Hoosiers. In

tack.
The Southerners boast great

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Three con-
ference games and four inter-
sectional contests will occupy the at
tention of the Big Ten football
teams Saturday.
Approximately 1875, 900 persons are
expected to see the five games in
this region, with the largest crowd
about notwithstanding the North
western Minnesota tIssle at Min
neapolis.
Two Big zen teams will invade
the east, Purdue playing New York
university az Yankee stadium and
Iowa meeting George Washington
at Washington, D. c., tonight. Notre
Dame also makes it's first eastern
invasion by sending its high-powered
scoring machine against the Uni
versity Of Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh.
Another East-west intersectionaI
game brings together Michigan and
Princeton at Ann Arbor.
Westerners FavOrites
Western football followers expect
all four Of their teams to win their
intersection games, and keep intact
the vests record of not having lost
to an eastern team this year.
Another intersectional game takes
place at Bloomington, Ind, where
Indiana meets Mississippi A. 81 M
Three close battles are quite likely
to develop in the conference, with
an upset possible in any or all of
the Big Ten Northwestern
Minnesota at Minneapolis, Wiscon-
sin-Ohio State at Columbus and
Chicago-Illinois at Chicago. North
western, Ohio State and Chicago are
favored, but only by small margins.
The Chicago-Illinois game brings
together two of the oldest Big Ten
rivals. Chicago is indicated this
season.
GOphers, Wildcats Tangle
The football rivalry between
Northwestern and Minnesota is al
most as old as the Big Ten, and
this series has produced many spec
tacular games.
Northwestern will rely on Ollie
Olsons plunging, and a passing at
tack with Olson and Rentner
throwing, to score enough points to
win Saturday. Minnesota, how
ever, may more than match
Northwestern attack with Jack
Manders, powerful plunger, and
dangerous pass combination, Pug
Lund to Robinson.
Ohio State hasn't won a Big
Ten game, but the Buckeyes score
less tie with Pitt last week indi-
Gated that they have the potential
strength to hold their own with
any team.
Doc Spears, Wisconsin coach, has
been pointing the Badgers for this
game for two weeks, and that
means that Ohio State must be at
its best to win.
