You've met this man be-
fore! Remember him? What
grand airs he liked to as
sumo! What vain boasts
poured from his lips! He
was forever trying to make
an impression, but most
people saw through his false
front. They called him a
STUFFED SHIRT!
Airs and vanity rarely
fool us. We look for the
inner qualities of a mans
character. Only when those
inner qualities are just as
hne as the external impress
sion he makes - only then
are we sure we have met a
man of the highest mettle.
The Church builds char
acter! Into the life of the
individual and of the com.
munity it pours those NOR
al and spiritual influences
which develop mans innate
nobility. Through religious
education and the worship
of God, the Church points
young and old to the high
goals and rich resources Of
Christian living.
Choose.a church and make
it YOUR CHURCH.

tricks in crime-busting
MFRS FRANCES GLEssNER LEE is a 69-year-
IVl old grandmother who favors Queen
Mary hats and hgh-necked blouses. She also
happens to be criminologist - at Harvard.
of all places - holds dozen honorary titles
belongs to the International Association of
Chiefs of Police, and is State Police captain
in New Hampshire.
Her Nutshell Studies" in unexplained
death make up crime laboratory done with
scale models. Dolls are the killers, victims and
witnesses. With these tiny stooges, Mrs. Lee
re-enacts mysteries, prepares exhibits for
students and visiting law officers at Harvard
University's Medical School on how to find
evidence in actual life-and-death cases.
Whodunits That Happensd
Mrs. LEE hardly fits the popular conception
of a master detective. A gracious, matronly
person. heiress to an International Harvester
Company fortune, she deserted society circles
rs years ago, has become known as the coun-
try's leading layrnan in medico-legal ranks.
Her heart is in her work, and so is her
purse. Eleven years ago, she wrote the
$250,OO0 check which created Harvard's De-
partment of Legal Medicine, headed by the
noted pathologist and homicide expert, DR..
Alan R. Moritz.
In Nutshell Studies, Mrs. Lees deft fin
gers portray whodunits that really hap
pened, but she often switches clues and
adds red herrings to highlight lessons.
The models are behind protecting glass and
recessed into the walls of jet-black room.
Each scene is on an individual electric circuit
and Illuminated by its own lighting fixtures
With each tableau is the Official report to
the police" wherein six-inch fgurines tell the
same lies and rumors that six-foot humans do.
The Detective Fuxabled
Aw, JUST little dolls" said burly detec-
tive attending one of the seminars. But he
frmbled the case. He took the sorrowing hus-
bands word for it that his wife died in an
accidental fall downstairs. By studying the
crumpled body more carefully, the detective
would have seen two clues - neck discolora-
ton indicating settled blood, and the rigor
mortis position of the head - both showing
she died while lying prone.
His report should have recommended that
the body remain untouched until the medical
examiner arrived. The latter would solve the
case, finding poison in the body. Nutshell
answer: the husband tried to get away with
"premedicated" murder by tossing the corpse
downstairs.
Harvard's instructors lay equal stress on
clearing the innocent. Mrs. Lee cites the case
of the Midwesterner with the angry wife
There had been quarrel. The wife was found
dead. The coroner concluded, and the trial
jury agreed, that the man had knocked her

Brissie was wounded in the
Apennine Mountains of Northern
Italy and after doctors were rea-
sonably sure he had a chance

his leg.
"You can't" Lou protested. "I'd

around Brissie's ankle. He has
to wear a shin guard of as well
as on the diamond.
