Practically every member of the
organization has come to the service
without more than a perfunctory
knowledge of firearms but, after
the course in the sound proof firing
range, with every type of weapon,
they go to the marine range at
QuaIltico, Virginia. able to quickly
qualify for the Marine standards of
Workmanship
Scientific detection of crime and
the presentation of evidence to
bring about conviction are most i'm
portant, and the FBI fllgerprint
bureau is the hub of this More
than seven million finger printed
cards of thousands of criminals are
in the Bureau offices. The forces
of detection in the smallest town on
the largest city in America and in
and in foreign lands make use of
this clearing houss. Modern inven-
ton makes possible quick action.
Little time is lost matching the
cards. For instance, in my visit to
the Bureau, fngerprint card was
received from Detroit. It's general
type was noted and six hundred
cards were run through a machine
which discarded all but two. Quick
comparison disclosed prior record
of crime by another criminal. SET
en- minutes from the time of the
arrival of the card from Detroit
information was available for it's
transmission to that city.
Gun identification, commonly
miscalled ballistics, is most import
ant and the infallibility of the SCI
entific equipment available here is
written in hundreds of confessions
and in court records throughout
the nation.
In the average hospital, four gem
eral types of blood are registered
by physician: when transfusions are
necessary. In the laboratories Of
the FBI there are eighteen types
used for comparisons. 4
Convictions are important and the
proper presentation of evidence is
required to obtain convictions. FBI
takes no chances that evidence will
be improperly presented, and, here,
science is utilized likewise. A box
of evidence arriving in Washington
goes to the Bureau and, before as
signment. it is f1uoroscoped and the
evidence handled only by those who
will testify in court. A gun will go

Writes Letter
From, the National Capitol. Gives
Information Of Congressional
Actions "'This Week I'm
Washington"

washington.
Issues COME thick and last CHI the
opening days of Congress. The
Presidents message of a few days
ago has already vanished from the
.fessfIires. Then came mubleSns OF
shipping arms to Spain, soon re-
PLACED by Inaugural news.
Alrrady two messages from the
President have been heard and q
third has been promised Each such
message has a short lite in the
headlines, and then is referred to
some committee of the two houses
w11ere it remains for weeks, some
times months. When legislation
finally comes, most folks have for-
gotten about the start.
& II e.
The first sensation for the news
papers was the annual message in
which the supreme court was given
attention No legislation has been
proposed on that subject by the ad-
11r1inistrat ton, though numerous bills
have been presented and sent to
committees.
After the neumality legislation
came the message asking for $780,
100000 for WPA and other relief
purposes until July 1st. WPA funds
are expected to be gone shortly at
ter February lst and the Resettle-
1nent appropriation is not expected
to last much longer. There is a
strong demand from the cities, par
ticularly the large cities, for a still
greater appropriation than the
President asks. The House passed
the Relief Bill by a nearly unani-
NOUS VOTE
The President next proposed a
reorganiza ton of government de-
partnents, with the idea of assign
ing the hundred or more independ-
emit bureaus so that they Will be I'M
der the jurisdiction of regular de-
partments now in existence or Will
be placed under new departments
not yet formed. This is not new
suggestion. For more than twenty
five years, presidents have sought
reorganization of the independent
offices.
The difficulty presidents have in
obtaining action is not so much due
to the indifference of Congress, but
to the political wire-pulling of the
powerful departmental bureaucracy
which has been building up for
more than century. The ramifi-
cations of most bureaus reach to
all parts of the country.
Few regular departments of the
government are in such close con-
tact with the people at the present
as are the many emergency bureaus
which now employ over 100000 peo-
pie. Co-ordinating government ac-
tivities by putting some of these
emergency offices into regular es-
Establishments will be one of the big
difficulties in the reorganization
the President proposes.
1t will be interesting to watch the
current problems of these first
weeks i'm Congress and to note what
becomes of today's headlines.

His one defeat came at the nands OF
Upset and was the result of an atro-
cious ride by mis- Jockey He utterly
humbled Upset thereafter AS three
year-old he was unbeaten, breaking I'VE
world records and about 10 records
for intervening distances. On one occa-
sion. for instance, he broke his own
worlds mile record while racing TO q
longer distance.
He was never once allowed TO ex-
tend himself for the whole course OF
q race, he seldom allowed another horse
to get in front of him at any point OF
a race, and he never paid as good as
even money in the betting, not even
in his first race On three occasions
the odds were l-lO0 that is, you had
to bet 500 to win one.
DERHAPS the final proof that d horse

Lady Comfey's male foal was, IN due
course, named American Flag.
American Fag was not great two
year-old. but he was the best three
year-old of his year His earnings to-
tailed $82, 900
The following year an even greater
son of Man o. War came along He
was Crusader, horse perfect to look
upon. and perfect in action OF all OF
them. he was probably the best.
Crusader was the only horse ever to
win the Suburban Handicap twice In
all. he earned the immense sum OF
S2O3.26l
The failure Of the tribe as a whole
to be great as juveniles has seriously
affected the money earnings of the
family. Many of the tWo-year-oid spe-
cia1s are richly endowed and they are
won by horses which never live up to
their earnings by going on where en-
durance must be added to speed.
And yet the earnings of those which
have raced have approximated between
S155.000 and S165.000 per season. All
told they have earned in excess OF
81 100000, and this does not include
their earnings for this season
Fair Play. the sire of Man o. War
is the only horse in the worlds history
which has sired six winners of $780,

other sire to get five winners OF that
much, and no other horse has got more
than three.

Bout In England
Plan For Louis

NEW YORK, July 9.-Promoter
Mike Jacobs today planned to
send heavyweight champion Joe
Louis to England in September
for a bout with Len Harvey or
Jack Doxle.
The way for the brown bomber's
European trip was paved when
the New York State boxing COM
mission approved switching of the
date of his bout with Tommy
Farr, English champion, in Yankee
Stadium here from September 10
to August 26. This will permit
Louis to reach England in time
for an outdoor bout.
The Louis-Farr bout will be
staged under joint auspices of
Jacobs and the free milk fund for
babies, of which Mrs. William
Randolph Hearst is chairman.

turing four champions was post
