Last week and the week before the Boy Scouts were kept quite busy preparing their exhibit for the Northwest Alaska Fair. The exhibit consisted of a model camp bedroll and equipment used on camping trips, patrol flags, pic lures taken at this summer camp, and a few other things. On each night of the Fair the Boy Scouts checked coats and hats and sold soda pop. There was no scout meeting last Friday on account of the Fair.

she depends on real case material To kill her
dolls properly, she must know the exact diff
ference between the chery-red of carbon
monoxide death and the various shades of
ordinary post-mortem purple.
Mrs. Lees dolls are cunning murderers and
tricky suicides. But the clue is always visible,
even if, in one case, the answer to how the
murderer got in and out of the locked room
can be seen only in miniature mirror hang
ing on the wall.

down, causing her death. The accused went
to the penitentiary, but he kept right on pro-
testing. Yes, there'd been an argument, but
he hadn't swung at her. Yes, he'd fled from
the house - but only to escape her TRADE.
Finally his lawyer was able to get the body
exhumed and Dr. Moritz did an AUTOPSY.
1t freed the convict. Reason: the wife had
died from apoplexy - she shouldn't have
worked herself into such rage
The law, says Mrs Lee, should have been
more careful, and that's why she plays seri-
ously with her dolls That's also why Harvard
espoused her program for trained medical
examiners to replace the more limited, less
Informative coroner system which still exists
in many parts of the country.
One death out of every five calls for investi-
CATION Half of these are accident, suicide or
murder. The other half are from obscure
but natural causes.
There was the hospital patient who died
and was written off as meningitis victim.
Then the medical examiner took hand and
called it murder. There was meningitis - but
the bacteria had entered through tiny, un-
noticed stab wound from an ice pick that did
the killing.
And there was three-year-old Alice who
died from slight bump on the head caused
by fall" A Harvard expert made tests
which showed lead poisoning. He went to the
parents The mother recalled that Alice
had frequently nibbleei on pieces of paint
taking off the house. "My other children
do, toO,' she added.
That clue was enough to rush the three
other kids to hospital and save them
Mrs. Lee is proud of Boston which led the
way 70 years ago. replacing its 43 coroners -
a motley crew of saloonkeepers and ward
heelers - with four trained examiners New
York City was next to change over. In one
year, its medical experts turned up so homi-
Evening star., 1948-01-25

All this is why Mrs. Lee misses no tiny
detail in her re-enactments: laundry on the
line, furnace really glowing in the basement,
lipsticked cigarette butts, whisky bottles,
powder burns - all on the scale of an inch
to the foot. matching her six-inch dolls.
A visit to her New Hampshire estate shows
how she does it with magnifying glass and
precise dental tools. Her main workshop is in
the 28-room farmhouse and her only helper is

layman coroner when it comes to examining
body, but says specialist trained to perform
Evening star., 1948-01-25

Mrs. Lee contends that most mysteries
don't require detectives Careful ones
are sufficient. In recent murder case. the
widow pointed to footprints in the snow out
doors, said that two strangers invaded the
apartment and killed her husband But a
detective, using Nutshell technique, noticed
wet pair of mems rubbers and broke down
the woman's story. She had killed her
spouse, used his rubbers to make foot
prints outside, and then called the police.
In another kind of case, police started a
manhunt when they found victim shot to
death in his cellar. and no gun around. But
a Harvard-trained sleuth noticed powder
burns, said it was suicide.
The man had rugged up his pistol with an
elastic cord which tore the smoking gun from
his hand and dropped it among debris in a
dark corner 80 feet away. To spare his fam
ily's feelings, he had simulated murder.
~c.s. ea the Hansi.s Farmer"
1T WAS the late DR.. George B. Magrath, pio-
neering medical examiner, who inspired Mrs.
Lee to take up her work in 1880. Two years
later Harvard set up the Frances G. Lee Chair
in Legal Medicine.
In l943. she remembered some bisque dolls
which she had used in building models as
young woman, and spent three months Great

Case of the Hanging Farmer"
Moritz and Colonel Ralph w Caswell, super
intendent of New Hampshire State Police,
urged Mrs Lee to produce more of them But
she already had testimony that her model
looked authentic. A passing spider thought
the barns haymow was genuine, and left a
web there.
Mrs. Lee thought that was nice of him, but
had to clear it out. The spider hadn't consid-
cred that this was scale model - his web

from as far off as Honolulu attend the five-day
seminars given three or four times yearly.
Their new technique sometimes is put to the
test suddenly. At last April's seminar, Moritz
described how he and his staff helped identify
the 493 victims of Boston's Cocoanut Grove
fire, and how they analysed the chemical
fumes that were blamed for many of the
deaths. One of the students was J. H. Annette
of the Texas State Police. Back home one
week later, he was called on to apply similar
methods when an exploding nitrate ship set
off the Texas City holocaust

It's based on the real case
of a sheriff who found a

Anti i-Rabies Campaign
Sets Record as $4,000
Dogs Are Vaccinated

More than $4,000 dogs were vac
cinated in the Districts fourth
annual anti-rabies campaign which
ended Friday, DR.. r. r. Ashworth,
director Of the Bureau of Food In
spection and the Health Depart
ments chief veterinarian, reported
today.
Every one seemed pretty well
pleased with the month long cam
paign. DR.. Ashworth said, land we
topped last years record of about
$4,000 dogs" He added that he has
received no complaints that dogs
became sick after the vaccinations,
which were given by veterinarians
at II centers throughout the city.
He said that no cases of rabies
have been reported here this year.
DR.. Ashworth estimated the cost
of the campaign at between $4,000
and $4,000, paid for by the increase
of 81 per tag in the District dog
licensing fee. About 10000 licenses
were issued this year, he said, add
ing that almost 10000 dogs were
vaccinated against rabies by private
veterinarians.
Dog owners who have not COM
piled with District anti-rabies reg
ulations face police prosecution,
with maximum penalties of 80 days
in jail or $500 fine. Since the Dis
trict's campaign has ended, dog
owners will now have to have their
dogs vaccinated privately, DR.. Ash
worth said.
