OMEN PRIZE
CAPTUREDBY
Y. 5. SNOW

Vernon S. Snow, of the 300
block Underwood st. N. w., is to.
days winner of the FIVE DOL
LAR BILL given away to each
lucky participant on the "G-Men
Game" contest which is running
daily in The Washington Times.
Mr.. Snow writes:
ut gives me untold pleasure
to identify fingerprint No. Ill
in The Times as that of the
middle digit on my tight hand.
"Of course, with such a clean
cut print IF 1 do say it myself
the Identification was not diff.
cult, but 1 made 80 or 40 trials
before 1 finally got the hang Of
it and was able to make a salts
factory impression to send YOU"
PRACTICE REQUIRED
Everyone interested in joining
the "G-Men Game" contest should
study the rules carefully, which
appear in this column every day
You cannot expect to make a per
feet fingerprint the first time you
try or even after several trials, but
If you practice, which, as the ole
saying goes, makes perfect" you
too, may be one of the winners Of
q S. bill.
Development Of latent impress
SionS, as told by the Federal Blu
1.oou of TnvnStiOo tim.
various powders and liquids
are used in this work. The pow
derS in general usage are white
or gray powder which usually
consists Of finely ground chalk
and mercury, and q black pow
der which usually has lamp
black or charcoal as a base.
. Finely ground aluminium and
bronze powders as well as drag.
On'S blood powder, and special
white powder also are used.
ut is desired to emphasize
that in many instances it is not
necessary to use any powders to
develop a latent fingerprint, as
sometimes the impression ap-
pears clearly. Powders are used
to bring the print to point
where it may be photographed or
developed; for instance, where
q print may show distinctly In
oil and grease on an automobile,
no powder should be used.
TN addition to powders, iodine
fumes are sometimes used to de-
velOp prints, usually appearing
on paper, whereas powders do
not assist in bringing them out"
HERE ARE THE RULES
"G-Men Game" calls for one
clear fingerprint only, and when
published will pay it's owner S.,
If he, or she, Identifies it.
1. Use BLACK INK ONLY
and make a clear impression Of
your middle finger on WHITE
paper.
2. Write your name and ad-
dress on. the sheet and mail it
to the Fingerprint Editor, The
Washington T m S, Washing
ton, ID. C.
3. Keep a duplicate impress
sion of your print for future
use in identifying your finger
print in The Times.
4. Examine the fingerprints
reproduced daily in The Wash
ingtOn Times carefully and com.
pare your duplicate each day
until you pick out your own.
When you identify yours, send
In your claim BY THE NUM-
BERING APPEARING with the
published print, to the Finger
print Editor. If you are cor
rect you receive SIS.
NOTE: Fingerprints bearing
scars or disfigurementS, or
Which, are submitted in any
other than BLACK INK, will
mot be considered.

ARTISTS SHOW
RAIDCAUSES
FURORE
NotabIes Outraged BY
Arrest of Girls In
Gotham Benefit

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 dN.sJ.
The cream of the country's
artists and illustrators banded
together today in mass denun-
citation Of the police official or
officials who ordered the raid on
the annual benefit show Of the
Society Of illustrators last night.
While an audience Of more
than 300, including men high
in the city's public and private
life, sat astounded, corps Of
burly plainclothesmen invaded
the Heckscher Theater. where
the show was being staged, or
dered the performance stopped
and arrested five girls on charges
Of participating in an indecent
performance.
The girls were hurried off to
night court, while five city magiS-
trateS, a district attorney, a
newspaper publisher and o high
official of the police department
were unceremoniously ushered
from the theater with the artists
and illustrators.
Magistrate MCGEE heard q
chorus Of bitter protests from
the spectators and decided 1t
would be better to wait few days
before hearing the charges against
the girls-Inez Grogersten, Col
lette Nicks, Bobbie Fenton, Sarilla
Bell and Marion FaiSt. He ad-
journed the case until Thursday
and released the young women in
bail of $50 each, which was quickly
provided.
Those in charge Of the annual
performance, which is held for the
benefit of needy artists, were be-
wildered at the Intervention Of
the police.
The performance was drasti-
cally less offensive than the ordi-
nary Broadway production" de-
clared Frank Goodwin, former
Washington vice president Of the
society.
There was nothing lascivious
about it. Two Of our shows proved
so popular they were purchased
and produced on Broadway. It is
inconceivable that anyone could
have found fault with the produc-
ton"
Tickets were sold only to mem
bers Of the society, and their
friends and there were reports
that the wife Of an artist sent q
pair Of them along tc the police
because she felt her husband
shouldn't attend such a ''lewd per-
for7nance." The raiders denied
this, however.
