the ultraviolet ray will restore the
original bleached text. The explana-
ton Is that washing" does not re-
move the ink entirely.
The mineral constituents remain
upon the paper. When the ultraviolet
ray falls upon the paper it glows
slightly-a property which is techni-
cally called the fluorescence Of the
paper. The residue Of the ink, corre-
spending to the bleached writing, either
does not f1uoresce or does not huoresce
in the same way; in consequence the
washed" writing reappears. The
ultra violet ray also will distinguish
between two inks Of a different type
upon the same document.
Chemical methods for the examina-
ton of documents also have been
greatly developed. BY treatment with
certain reagents for example, it is pos
sible to redevelop bleached writing. In
some cases the use of this method Is
preferable to that of the ultra violet
ray, because a permanent record Is
obtained Most inks contain iron, and
this constituent Is not removed when
the ink Is bleached. There Is chem
ical reagent known as potassium fer
rocyanide which colors iron salts
strongly blue, even II only minute
quantities are present.
Analysis Fixes Time.
Chemical methods are also used to
decide as to the period at which Ger
tain piece Of writing may have been
done Some years ago it was discovered
that old ink containing aniline dye,
when treated with certain reagents. be-
haves differently from more recent
writing with the same type Of ink.
In older writing the dyes do not spread
on the paper with treated acids. In
more recent examples considerable
spreading of the dye takes place
More refined methods have recently
been devised. 1t has been shown that
in the case of inks which contain
chlorides the chloride can be converted
to silver chloride and then reduced to
metallic silver, which then appears as
a black stain. The object is to indi-
cate clearly the disposition Of the
original chloride upon the paper. 1t
has been found that in recent writing
the chloride remains within the limits
OF the original strokes, so that the
strokes retain their identity and the
writing can be read. but with increas-
ing age the chloride SO spreads that
the strokes become more and more
blurred. and finally cannot be dis
tinguished at all.
The importance of the laboratory In
criminal investigation has been more
clearly recognized on the Continent
/ than in England. But If the proposed
police college is established. labora-
tory of technical police probably would
be set up. Here existing scientific
methods could be utilized and new and
improved one devised Such depart
ment probably would be attached to
Scotland Yard.

Reviewed Gigantic Public Works Program That
 Will Employ Millions

Warm Springs, Ga, Nov 27.-- (UP) President Roosevelt to-day reviewed the administration gi- gantic public works program and methods of speeding it up to pro- vide jobs for 4,000,000 men this winter. The chief executive had before him comprehensive reports of Secretary of the Interior Ickes, who also is public works adminis- trator and responsible for carrying out this important phase of the national recovery program. While it was not revealed what specific matters came up in the first of series of conferences between MT Roosevelt and IckeS, observers here felt that the former was particular ly anxious for the completion of program of coordination between public works and the newly created civil works authority.
 MT Roosevelt maintained silence on the monetary situation in spite of two-hour conference with Henry Morgenthau Jr, acting secre- tary of the treasury The two mo- tored over the red clay roads of southern Georgia to survey without Interruption the entire financial picture. MT Roosevelt was at the wheel of his little touring car and Morgenthau in the seat beside him. When it was all over, Morgenthau said: ''We talked over treasury de- partment affairs. Anything more will have to come from the presi- dent" During the day MT Roose- welt was expected to sign his name to the 25 codes of fair. competition which were brought here by Re. covery Administrator Hugh s. Johnson. Among them was tine important code for the motion pie ture industry.

SHOE INDUSTRY OF NATION HOLDS
 GOOD POSITION
In Better Shape To-day Than at Any Time
 Since 1929

New York, Nov. 27-UP)-The shoe industry of the United States is in the best position since 1929, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, said in a survey today.
 Improvement in shoe and leath. CT trades has been steady since the first of the year, the survey said. Sales volume has run well ahead of 1892 and prices are up to point where it now is possible for all branches of the trades to make a profit.
 Retailers, the review said, are making preparations for the larg- est spring season in several years. In addition to the brighter out look under the MIRA, it was said, the merchants are expected to reap good profits from a new array of distinctive styles.
 After the lull since the middle of September" the survey said, some of the New England factor ies have resumed operations and others plan to start cutting on spring orders in. about 10 days, as they are booked ahead for at least six week, with prospects for suffi- cient business to keep factories running at capacity over a long period.
 Tn the production centers of Ohio and the southwest, output of women's shoes reached capacity levels during the summer months and operations have continued nearly on that basis, despite sea- sonal influences, which normally cause some let-down at this per iOd"

New York. Nov. 27--It is real ized by everyone that slipping off tho, gold standard is much easier than climbing on again, especial lv since the dollar has been allow ed to depreciate heavily from its gold parity. In part, however, this difficulty could be overcome, states Guaranty Trust company of New York in its weekly survey. For ex- ample. if the federal administra- ton. even without committing it. self on the question of new gold parity. should take definite and irrevocable stand against currency imitation, partial opportunity would be given for the dollar to show what it's natural lever would be if dictated by the sup ply of and demand for dollar ex- change in conducting legitimate business and financial transactions. In. the opinion of many observers. the dollar, if thus left to itself, would make rapid strides toward its old parity, because the removal of the fear of imitation would free dollar fluctuations from the pres sure of purely speculative infiu- ences and encourage q return of CdpltdI SCAih dpAOhu AOA s'safe-keeping."
 There is, of course, The Survey continues. fear that this would result in a sudden throwing on the market of commodities and secur- ities now being held for an infia- tionary rise, thereby temporarily disorganiZing price levels. But certainly no such consideration should be placed in the wey of a re-esta blishment of sound money;

DISTILLERS OF
 THE NATION ARE
 GIVEN SETBACK
Sweeping Federal Control of Business Was Kept
 in the Code

Washington, Nov 27-U.P.) = Protests of distillers were over ridden to-day as provisions for bweeping federal control were re- tained in 8 code for the liquor in- dustry.
 The code was to be submitted to Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and President Roosevelt for ap- provaI despite, it's rejection by re- presentatives of distillers. s Once the code is approved, the xiistillers will have no alternative Fbut to fulfill its requirements if si The code provides for federal l3icensing of every distillery, abso- Mute Separation from retail outlets, sale of liquor in bottles only, and hse of American grains exclusively.
 The code outlaws destructive price cutting, and prohibits prices so high as to encourage bootleg ging.
 It sets up federal alcohol con- trol administration, to which the distillers objected strenuously in a vigorous fight for self-government. Even though they conceded the right of veto to the governm ent, their plea for primary control of their industry, through board of the distillers' own choosing, was rejected.
 The distillers also lost a fight for hnendment of the permit section of the code. It provides for revoca- hion of permits upon the motion of the faca. Distillers demand that the faca be restricted to revoking permits for cause after hearings, and sought provision for court re- views of the faca's orders. Govern anent representatives replied that the right of court review was in- herent, and refused to specify it in the code. ! Distillers also failed to knock out, application of the Tugwell bure food and drugs bill to their code. The Tugwell bill is expected to be presented to the forthcoming congress. The distillers were will ling to abide existing pure food Jaws. but objected to inclusion of the language of the Tugwell bill in their code prior to it's enactment.
 The A. A. A., scheduled a hear ingson the code for brewers to-day and a code for importers Wednes' day.

MORCENTHAU IS
 TACKLINC GREAT
 MONETARY PLAN
Refinancing $727,692,5OO Govt Securities Which
 Mature Dec IS
BY RICHARD IL. GRIDLEY United Press Financial Cor
 espOndent)

Washington, Nov. 27-(UP)- Fresh from a weekend visit with President Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Ga., Henry L. Morgen- thau, acting secretary of the treasury, returned today to tackle the problem of refinancing $727,- 692,500 government securities which mature Dec. 15.
 The method of clearing this hurdle of government debt was ex- pected to be worked out by Nor genthau this week in collaboration with his new aides, Tom K. Smith, president of the Boatmen's Ma tional Bank of St. Louis, and Earle Bailie of New York.
 A substantial rally in govern ment securities last week, in the absence of federal reserve support, but aided by treasury purchasing, was expected to lead to a decision to refund the maturing obligations with a new issue, in the regular manner. Although the government bond market is lower than it was during the summer, the treasury was expected to have little diff culty in floating new issue. It was possible that a slightly higher in- terest rate would have to be off, fered.
 There are several alternatives if something unforeseen should arise by Dec. 15 to jeopardize new is- sue. One method would be for the government to pay off the matur- ing securities out of its fat $1,100,- 000,00O current cash surplus. An other would be the outright print ing of new United States notes, or greenbacks, which were authorized the Thomas amendment to the to the extent of $3,000,000,000 in farm bill.
 Inquiry at the bureau of print ing and engraving revealed that no preparations were being made to carry out this provision. Only re- placements for outstanding green backs were being printed, it was said.
 Morgenthau promised to reveal today the amount of last week s government bond repurchases with idle funds from the postal say ings, the sinking fund, farm cred it administration and Federal De- posit Insurance Corporation.
 It was learned on the highest authority that the federal reserve board was ready to resume govern ment bond purchases if weakness should appear in the securities. The reserve blanks more than a week ago abandoned buying the government bonds after officials believed that their acquisition in the hands of bond holders. The re- serve board has billions for the purpose if needed.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Nov 27-UP)-Prices of wool were tending upward in the Boston market to-day, advances being noted on fine and medium grades as compared with prices paid for similar staples a week ago. Wool men predicted further rises.
 Demand was chiefly for fine and medium wools. While the supply of domestic wool was generally admitted to be less than the prob- able requirements between now and arrival of the new domestic clip in May, Boston dealers were buy ing very sparingly at the. moment of foreign wools, due to the much higher prices being received abroad.
 Ohio and similar delaine fine combing wools were quoted at 34- half blood, 35-36; three-eighths, 41-43; and quarter-blood, 41-42. Territory strictly staple graded fine combing wools were quoted at S4- 86 cents a pound clean basis; half- blood, 81-83; three-eighths, 78-S0, and quarterblood, 71-73.
 The U. S. agriculture department said: Strictly combing 56S, & blood, territory wools have been sold in sizab1e quantities at 80-S2 cents, secured basis. The relative ly high price range of this grade, compared with prices of finer qual- ity domestic wools, has been stimu- Hated by the limited supply avail able in this market. Estimated re- ceipts of domestic wools at Boston, reported to the Boston Grain and Flour exchange during the week ending November 25, amounted to 431, 200 pounds, compared with S2S,800 pounds during the previous week."
