offices did in 1929. There are file rooms with
long rows of metal cases another section with
monographs and other business machines,
dark room for Photographic work, and huge
room devoted to typing The only objects that
seem unfamiliar are the special lights and
various sorts of magnifying glasses used in the
classification and comparison of fngerprints.
But there is one locked room down side
corridor that is quite different from all the
rest. When you step inside that room, you
think that you have happened into some scien-
lists laboratory, as indeed you have. 1t is
Uncle Sans crime detection laboratory.
In this room are all sorts of scientific aids to
the solution Of the mysteries of crime. There
is an ultraviolet lamp which almost provides

poets were Immediately rushed to the woman,
and she identified from the photographs the

and even detects forgeres in questioned papers.
There Is q special machine for determining
whether certain gun used to fire bullet
found in q murdered person. When another
shot has been fired from the same gun. both
bullets are placed in this machine. A special
arrangement of lights and magnifying lenses
make it possible to compare the rifling marks
on both and to adjust them until the marks
match exactly. The most minute difference in
the markings is Immediately noticeable.
THE laboratory contains also various devices
used by agents to investigate cases; . tiny
camera equipped with distance lens that will
take photographs Of persons block away and
yet will fit in the palm of your hand, field
glasses to observe the activities of criminals at
a distance. powders for bringing out Latent"
fingerprints 50 that they can be photographed,
"moulage" or material for making melike re-
productions of perishable objects or parts Of
the human form, and device for lifting
fngerprint of desk, glass, or other object so
that it can be carried away for Identification.
There is an "X-ray mirror" When you look
at it, you see only an ordinary mirror. Not q
specially good one, to be sure, but quite like
those you see every day. In reality, it Is .
one-way vision screen. An agent in the next
room can look right through that mirror and
see everything you do. although you could not
possibly see him.
Finally, there Is the standby Of the crime
detector-the microscope. A bifocal instrument
with the best Of lighting makes fine linen
handkerchief look like q coarse fly screen. The
most minute stains are revealed and can b
identified.
A single hair can be examined and the ideu.

smudge on the edge Of a piece Of paper may
become something definite from which can b
guessed the origin Of letter.
These are just q few Of the weapons Uncle
Sam Is using in his battle to protect you from
crime-others are guarded in strict secrecy %
that the criminal cannot be prepared for their
use. But all are at your service at any moment
that you receive threat Of attack by kidnapers
or racketeers.
If member Of your family should be kid
naped, you are urged 10 notify the United
States division Of investigation here in WASH
ington at once. Use the telephone. Give the
best description you can Of all details OF the
crime sometimes the method used betrays the
identity Of the criminal.

INDIANAPOLIS, May Judge Earl
r. Cox of the Marion County Circuit
Court yesterday upheld the constitu-
tionality of the so-called "skip-elec-
tions" law, by which the Indiana Cen
eral Assembly postponed municipal
elections in the State for one year.
The ruling, announced on the eve
of the originally scheduled date of the
1888 primary elections, was made in a
suit by which Boynton ]. Moore, Re
publican candidate for mayor of Indi-
annapolis, sought to mandate city offl-
cials to hold an election today.
The Democratic State administration
advocated the law delaying the elec-
tions as an economy measure. Approx
imately 60 per cent of municipal officers
in the State at present are Democrats,
and the remainder Republicans.

DENY
THEY MARRIED

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 8. U.P)-An
elopement without wedding cere-
mony was described today by Lupe
Velez and Johnny Weissmuller.
Both denied being united in mat
rimony even though they reused a
sleeping deputy clerk at Las Vegas,
New, early yesterday to obtain L.
cenSe to wed. Hurrying back home,
the fiery Mexican actress dashed a
bit of paprika in statement in
which she said they may get mar
ried tomorrow, Wednesday or three
years from now
Rumors they may have been mar
ried could not be verified A sys-
tematic check at Las Vegas and
environs by the United Press failed
to disclose any authority who had
performed the ceremony. The Ii
cense is not good in California, or
in any other state. Reminded OF
this, Lupe said she was mot cen
terested in logic"
WeisSmulaler, former film Tar
zan" and one time swimming cham
pion, gave his name as Peter Weiss
muller and his age as 20 to the
license clerk. His fiancee-or bride
applied for the license as Guada-
lupe Villa LoboS.
Their elopement came as no sur
prise. On the contrary, it was ex-
pected since Friday when Weiss
muller obtained a final decree Of
divorce from Bobbie Arnst, musical
comedy actress, who divorced him
a year ago on grounds of mental
cruelty. From that date on, Weiss
muller and Miss Velez have been
seen constantly in one another's
company, making no secret of their
mutual devotion. Their romance
postdated rumors that the actress
and Gary Cooper were in love.
