Facts Beneath Masse Case Lure Clarence DaroU to Deee
 LeobLeopod Attorney Is Attracted by Unsuaness of Crime
CRv JOHN wi. sTARRl

 Darrow, identified with many causes" in American courtrooms, has accepted his latest job with no display of alt1'uistic or ideal istic purpose.
 The winner of the famous Loeb-Lecpold and John T. Scopes trials is going to the defense of Mrs. Grace F'ortescue and Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie in Honolulu be cause it's an unusual and spec tacular case-and because I've never been to Hawaii.
 T don't like to talk much about the case until I've gone over the ground personally Darrow said. s'but certainly it's the only case of its kind ever heard of, and should yield wealth of interesting un- deriving facts not brought to pub lie notice yet.
 My whole theory about crime is that there should be better understanding of its causes.
 Just as in medicine, where the up-to-date practice is to find out the root of ills and eradicate it instead of merely treating the effects, we should get at the back ground of crime in general-and find the deep-seated underlying reasons behind an individual crime before venting public indignation.
 I've always been for the de- ferlSe, and that's the reason. I think there are probably many things about the Honolulu case that haven't became at all gener- ally known"
 Four On Trial
 Darrow was procured by Mrs. Fortescue's counsel to help in the trial scheduled to begin in Homo lulu shortly. Two navy enlisted men, F. J Lord and Albert O. Jones, are co-defendants with the former New York and Washington society matron and her son-in-law Lieut.. Massie, in the staying of Joseph Kahahawai, a native, last January 8.
 The homicide, involving spec tacular automobile chase in which a police car caught one driven by Mrs. Fortescue, occupied also by Massie and Lord, and containing Kahahwai's sheet-wrapped body, was generally described as an .thonor" killing.
 Kahahawai was one of the five men awaiting re-trial on charges of attacking Mrs Thalia Massie, daughter of Mrs. Fortescue, last The first prosecution had been declared a mistrial when a jury of varied nationaQities was unable to reach verdict.
 Glad To Take Case
 Darrow, now 75 years old says he welcomes this opportunity to add to his varied experiences as a defender"
 He regards the Loeb-Leopold case, in which he succeeded in ob- taining life sentences rather than death for the two youthful thrill of little Bobby Franks, as the most interesting in all his career.
 And I stall have hopes that eventually, that case will have some good effect on the public" he said.
 The case of John T. Scopes, Day. ton, Tenn, school teacher, prose- cuted because he taught the the ory of evolution, Darrow believes had more effect on peoples views enlightenment and liberality of thought than any other case he has handled.
 That trial" he said served to nip in the bud a program of thought restriction that could best be described as a campaign to promote ignorance No other state wants to undertake such a thing again. It has done great deal to hberalize the country in educa- tional matters"

CHICAGO, April by plucking
a single hair from your lady's head, you
can now tell whether she's flbbing
about her age.
A new process Of accurately deter
mining the age of human being by
hair rings has been found by E. Carl
ton Hood of the scientific crime detec-
tion laboratory of Northwestern Unlver-
sity. The announcement was made to-
day by Col. Calvin Goddard, the di-
rector.
Dr. Hood made the discovery several
months ago while photographing hairs
which had been magnified ,546.8 times.
The research of himself and others in
the subject Of hair has progressed to
the point where those schooled in crime
detection can come within 99.4 per cent
of perfection in the uses of hair in
pinning a crime upon a guilt indi-
vidual.
The often neglected single hair"
said DR.. Hood, "is as important as a
fingerprint. 1t is possible to prove that
one hair can come from only one man.
Inasmuch as normal human being
drops about $4,000 hairs in 1,500 days,
he rarely ever gets away from any
where without leaving hair behind.
Sometimes when he leaves no finger

prints or other clues, he does leave q
hair
"It is comparatively easy to collect
all the hair in the place, eliminate those
of innocent parties and proceed to ap-
prehend the others. Until now 1t has
been possible to tell whether the sus-
pect was red-headed, had dandruff,
went bare-headed, whether he earned
his living as a bank clerk, and so on.
Now we can also tell his exact age.
'The ring system is basically quite
simple. Rings run around the hair, at
intervals along it, and not one inside
of another, as they do in a tree trunk
or an onion.
"A young mans hair grows rapidly
Age makes it grow slower. This grow
ing is not steady. A hair grows a while,
then stops a while. Each stop or rest
produces a discoloration at the point
where the hair emerges through the
scalp. This diScoloration becomes a
ring. II there are six rings to a tenth
of a millimeter, the subject Is 20. II
there are IL rings to the tenth Of a
millimeter, the subject is 40. and so on" +"
DR.. Hood said he has already helped
solve one murder by the hair test.

hair was found clutched in the victims

police to search for Filipino, aged 80,

NOTE TO STIMSON SECRET.
British Foreign Office Declines to Di-
vulge Contents.

LONDON November II tP,.-The
foreign Office declined today TO divlllge
the contents Of the note on debts de-
ivered yesterday to Secretary Of State
StimsOn at Washington. and it appeared
unlikely that the document would be
made public in the House of Commons
or elsewhere until the two governments
agree on publication.
1t was understood the note deals only
with the Anglo-American debt ritua-
ton. but France. Italy and Belgium
were informed Of its general nature
when it was sent to Washington.
The British Press Association lobby
correspondent said the fact that the
British government acted so promptly
upon completion of the election in the
United States suggested that informal
Conversations which are known to have
taken place in recent months had
thoroughly prepared the way for the
approach.
The correspondent suggested that
President Hoover although defeated
remains in Office until March and has
means by which he may consult Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt on the matter
1t was believed here the negotiations
are likely to reach a point of decision
quickly. In responsible quarters there
was no suggestion OF British default on
the December IS payments if the nego-
tiationS fail, but since no provision has
been made in the budget for payment,
il was likely payment would necessarily
be MADE with borrowed funds.
