Finally he came and went again

Needless to say, the gates of
that plant are now barred and
strangers enter only after a close
check Of their credentials.
At another factory a Federal
agent was proudly shown the
strong and well-guarded vault
where secret blueprints were
kept. The only trouble was that

sabotage or spying is seldom the
work of a single individual. AL
ways saboteurs are part of a
ring which probably has a myriad
of activities over many sections
of the nation and is directed by
a master spy or saboteur directly
responsible to some foreign
power
The FBI investigates speedily
all tips on espionage and sabotage
received from local police and
private citizens. These pour in
sometimes at the rate of 1000
day. Trivial bits of evidence
turned in in this fashion from
widely separated parts of the
country though apparently un-
related, can often be fitted into
central pattern that will lead to
the smashing of a spy or sabo-
tage ring.
AS Federal agents watch a
sabotage plot working toward
fruition they are able to decide

lection in the world-the file to-
day has over 16,300,000 finger
print cards
But few are aware of the other
files ready TO be modified in the
fight against the saboteur and
the spy.
In a special gallery not open
to the general public l passed
row upon row Of different kinds
of guns $50 different types, TO
be exact and a lethal exhibit
indeed. for every one Of them is
in good firing condition. This
great collection OF weapons has
a very practical value, for many
murderers hold TO the mistaken
belief that If they smash their
guns after crime they have
good chance of escaping eonvie-
ton.
But this is not so. The FBI
has often received suspected guns
battered almost out of all recog-
milton. BY selecting duplicate
from the file, experts are often
able to substitute parts from it
and put the suspected weapon
back in firing condition again.
Thus it is possible 10 get the
ballistic markings on bullets fired
from the mutilated gun and
prove, in many cases, that IT was
the lethal weapon.
Every kind Of headlight Tense
manufactured in the last ten
years is also on file, listed with
the make and model Of the car
in which each type was used.
Thus from a few fragments Of
broken headlight glass recovered
from the scene of an accident
it is comparatively easy matter
to tell the type and kind Of car
from which they came. One Of
the jigsaw puzzle jobs Of FBI
technicians is fitting these frag-
ments into the broken headlight
of suspected car
Part of their study of glass
involves Investigations Of bullet
holes in windows and windshields.
Often it is possible to determine
the caliber and make Of the gun
whose bullets produced a given
hole. and from which direction
IT came or the glass was broken.

sumo that the side on which glass
fragments fall is the side OPP

blow that shattered them was
struck. But this Is not neces-
sarily true, especially when a
window is set at an angle from

from which the SCATTERING blow
came can be definitely deter
mined. owever, by crack
patterns easily recognizable to
experts.

scientific allies for the Omen to
call upon in their work of
counter-sabotage and counter
espionage.

Americas 'Proyingest' Town

T HE 5000 citizens of the little
town Of Stuttgart, Arkansas,
Y and the farmer folk for
miles around are so glad they
live in America that they have
recently adopted the custom of
offering daily prayers of Thanks
giving for their happy lot.
Every morning at the stroke Of
ten, the ffttte towns church belts
ring This is the signal for a few
moments of silent prayer and the
men and women of this patriotic
community drop whatever they
are doing to give thanks together
The theme OF their prayers is
Thank God, live in America.
Mayor Stump. a World War
veteran and local grocer, made
this habit Of daily prayer official
by issuing the following procla-

THE old adage Clothes do
not make the man finds no
confirmation in the case Of
Waugh Kum, Number One medi-
cine man of the Pima Indians
who owes his possession Of this
coveted high position to his hat.
The Pima reservation occupies
about 35 square miles in a pic
turesque valley OF Arizona. 1t
has a number OF villages. each
with it's head medicine man who
is virtually village magistrate.
In the main village is a grand
central council-house. where the
elders Of the several communities
meet and are presided over by a
chief medicine man selected by
these village leaders.
BY a stroke of good luck.
Vaaugh-Kum who was chief Of
one Of the inferior villages. be-
came the possessor of a tall silk
hat. 1t was part OF the stage
property of an itinerant group of
transforming actors who hap
pened to drive through the vii
lage recentlv and asked the chief
where to find water.
During the conversation
Vaaugh-Kums attention was at

OF this staggering sum, HOO mill

thing that should give every A

Personally, am thankful that it
was given me to live through the
golden era of the Republic-the
period between the Spanish-Amer-
, lean and World wars. There has
never been another period like it.
Very few farm and home fore
closures, rarely did bank close its
doors, and only the unemployable
were out of work. But today we
are in bondage to the tax collector
and he will take more and more OF
our incomes as we continue to pile
up greater and greater debts on
which interest must be paid.
AS for the national debt, which
now is approaching the $4,000 mill

be forced to do as they did in Eur.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 18.-The
8,l99-ton French freighter Mendoza,
which has been trying to get through

reliably reported today to have been

The report said the British ship
took action while the freighter was
attempting to edge northward along
the coastline.
The Mendoza was reported to have
left Porto Bello, state of Santa

waters inside Brazilian territorial
waters, where it was presumed that,
under international law, she would
be safe from search and seizure.
