'Fpr agents of the FederaT'Bu- reau of Investigation use the tell-tale ink smudges to locate, missing' persons and identify victims of fatal disasters ranging from airline crashes to attacks by man-eating sharks. The little known public serv- ice is provided by the FBI's ' Identification Division which op- erates the largest and most effi- cient fingerprint storehouse in the world. The elaborate filing system contains almost 148 mil- lion sets of fingerprints belong- ing to about 74 million people. The majority of these are con- tained in the non -criminal sec- tion which files prints contribut- ed by more than 1',000 agencies. .And ,agents agree that cases' which these prints help solve are often more dramatic than the ones involving notorious gunmen or spies. A typical example is the case of Gregory LaTraille who walk- ed into the FBI's Los Angeles office and asked agents to find leis father whom he had never green. What little information La- ircould give was imme- ately sent to ID specialists in ashington. Their files contained a set of he father's prints which had een made when he applied for job with the U.S, ' Naval Aix. Station in Seattle. The finger- print card also listed his street t. ddress. With this information, aTraille was soon able to meet is father for the first time. One of, the identification Divi- sion's most macabre cases began when the FBI received a set of fingerprints from a hand found In the belly of a shark. Miami Beach police wanted to know the name of the victim. An intensive fingerprint check soon revealed that the hand be- longed to a Navy gunner who had gone down with a tanker off the Florida coast. The enormous fingerprint file proves especially valuable in helping identify amnesia victims. On a summer day in 1956 an eld- Srly man wandered into the heriff's Office in Lawton, Okla., and said that he had forgotten his name, The sheriff took the man's prints and sent them to the FBI. ID specialists finally identi- fied the amnesia victim when they checked their old armed forces file which contains fin- gerprints dating back to 1905. e prints that revealed his identity had been made almost 80 years before the FBI check took place. - The role that 'a set of finger- prints played in the case of Sen- ora Petra Cardosa de Garcia of Piedras Negras, Mexico, is as dramatic as many TV and movie productions. The Army notified Senora Garcia that her son bad been listed as a deserter, and that her desperately needed mili- tary allotment would be stopped. Senora Garcia insisted that a letter her son had written the day before being listed AWOL was so cheerful .that she could not believe the charge. An FBI` check soon led to a search. through its war, casualty file. Surprised agents found that her son's fingerprints compared with those of an unknown soldier buried in an overseas military cemetery. The evidence further revealed thatinstead of being a deserter, Senora Garcia's son had died a hero. The most unpleasant job of the highly trained ID specialists is identifying victims of airplane crashes, ship fires and hurri- canes. As soon as FBI head- quarters gets, a request for this unique service, a special squad Of fingerprint experts is imme- diately dispatched to the dis- aster scene. Before leaving, Washington, these specialists collect finger- print cards of persons whose names are the same or similar to those believed to be disaster victims. Then they compare fin- gerprints taken from the man- gled, burned bodies with the FBI cards to establish positive identification. Success in this gruesome operation often re- quires that an agent have a strong stomach as well as expert technical know-how. Recent headline disaster which received FBI identification serv- ice were last year's Romance of the Skies stratocruiser crash and the havoc caused by Hurri- cane Audrey on the Louisiana coast. Pamper Those Paint Brushes It's quite true that "you get what you pay for" and buying cheap paint brushes is not eco- nomical. The bristles will soon fall out and the finished paint job will look anything but pro- fessional. A good paint brush -will last indefinitely if you give it proper care. This consists of careful cleaning and storing after every paint job. To clean brushes of enamel, house paint or oil -base paint, swish in turpentine until all loose paint is removed. Then wash in warm water and soap, wrap in several thicknesses Of paper and put away. Brushes or rollers used with latex paint are merely washed with warm water and soap, During an extended job, brushes can be suspended in lin- seed oil between painting ses- sions. The brush shOuld never touch the bottom of the contain- er or the bristles will become bent. Even brushes that have be- come hardened with old paint will respond to treatment. How- ever, these may require soaking in a stronger solvent like paint and varnish remover before the stubborn paint will give up the ghost. Paint brushes treated with respect will do a better job. • CHART FROM FBI FILES shows identical points of compari on In two fingerprints.

THE HOLY CITY -In the Jordan sector of Jerusalem two Jordanian policemen stand near the arch of Ecco Homo -Behold the Man built by Hadrian in 135 A.D. and said to span the spot from which Pilate presented Christ to the mob to be crucified. Today, in the city where Jesus hung from a cross nearly 2,000 years ago to bring a new kind of love to the world, hate swells through old Jerusalem, The hate hes built up since Israel's birth as a nation. TIILI'AIM FROM The importance of proper maintenance of farm machinery cannot be over -emphasized, ac- cording to Agricultural Engineer F. Bigsby of the Swift Current Experimental Farm. Special at'. tention to machinery mainten- ance he says, will, in the long run, more than pay for the im- mediate expense and extra time required to do the job properly. * • • The best aid to good machin- ery servicing is the' operators manual supplied with the ma- chine. This manual has been prepared byengineering speci- alists who know the require- ments of the machine, and their recommendations should be fol- lowed. * a o A check list is another aid to good maintenance and it should include an entry for all the ser- vice operations required, with a space for the hour meter read- ing, or date when each. service operation was done. This is es- pecially important for jobs such as engine oil changes, transmis- sion oil changes and wheel bearing packs. Through the use of a check list an operator will not have to rely on his memory to know when certain opera- tions should be done. * * * Great care should always be taken in machinery mainten- ance regardless of what opera- tion must be performed, For example, grease nipples should be cleaned off before greasing, and all nipples should be at- tended to. If grease nipples are in an awkward position they should be replaced with a fit- ting that is easier to reach. Fur- thermore all nipples should be checked to ensure that they are taking the grease. The oil level in gear boxes should always be checked carefully and 'the plug on the gear box should be clean- ed before it is removed, It is also important to see that no dirt gets into the gears while the plug is out. The best lubricant available cannot do a proper job if it has dirt in it. '♦ • P On many occasions a major breakdown is caused by a minor fault such as a loose bolt or a cracked Fart. For this reason careful servicing- is important as it gives the dperator a chance to check over his machine dur- ing the servicing process. At such periods he may spot faults before they lead to a major breakdown. e 4 G Breeding and nutrition are possibly the most important factors affecting egg shell qual- ity but disease and other fac- tors associated with the physi- ology of the bird, also have a bearing on shell quality. The ability to produce eggs with shells of good quality is an inherited characteristic of the individual hen, Different breeds and, more: important perhaps, strains within 'breeds, differ in their ability to produce strong, well formed shells. Commercial egg producers should insure that the chicks they buy are from a strain with proved abil- ity to produce good shells. This also is an important point for the breeder. Not only does he want to produce a good saleable chick but he wants to obtain the highest hatchability as well. Good hatchability is due in part to good shell quality. Poor shell quality can be improved by breeding. • • • Regardless of the inherited capacity of a bird to lay eggs with good strong shells, she must receive an adequate amount of the nutrients neces- sary for shell formation. The most important of these are cal- cium, vitamin D and manganese. About 98 per cent of the egg shell is composed of calcium in the form of calcium carbonate. It is very important therefore that a supply of calcium be available to the birds. This can best be achieved by keeping clean oyster shell before the birds at all times. In this way a hen will regulate her own calcium intake in accordance with her rate of production. • • • Vitamin D is intimately asso- ciated with the assimilation and utilization of calcium, although the manner of this association is not completely understood, espe- cially with respect to shell for- mation. Experiments have shown however, that vitamin D is re- quired for good shell formation. Normally a good quality com- mercial ration should contain sufficient vitamin D. Manganese has also been shown to influence shell quality. A good commercial ration should contain a sufficient amount of manganese sulfate to insure good shell quality. - • 6' • Studies have shown that shell quality, as measured by shell thickness, declines from a max- imum level during the winter months to a relatively low level during the summer months. This decline in the amount of cal- cium laid down on the shell may be the result of an increase in the environmental temperature, a reduction in feed consumption or changes in the physiology of the bird for causes yet unknown. • * * In spite of good breeding and good nutrition many birds con- tinue to lay eggs with thin shells, poor texture and abnor- mal shapes. This has sometimes been termed "physiological shell quality." The many physiologi- cal and biochemical functions involved in forming the egg shell are poorly understood. Much of the data available is fragmen- tary and inconclusive. It is through research in this field that the greatest improvement in shell quality may be achieved in the future. * f • In summary, poultrymen should observe the following points in order to achieve and maintain good egg shell qual- ity. ual it 1. Choose a strain of birds that has the inherited ability to produce good quality egg shells. 2, Feed a good commercial ration or, if using a home mixed ration, be sure that sufficient amounts of calcium, manganese and vitamin D are provided. S. Insure an adequate supply of calcium by allowing free ac- cess to good quality oyster shell at all times. 4. Follow sound inanagement practices with regard to feed- ing, water, housing and disease control. Picket.

NDAY SC1100I _LESSON By Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A., B.D. God Delivers His People Exodus 11:1; 12:23-28; 14:2741., Memory Selection: He saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty pow- er to be known. Psalm 106:8. Trouble comes to all but peo- ple react differently. "One ship sails east and, one sails west By the self same wind that blows; It isn't the gale but the set of the sail That determines the way it goes." "The children of Israel sighed by reason of their bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. And God heard theirs groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect un- to them." God's , deliverance by the hand of Moses was miracu- lous. Critics will ' say that plagues of lice and flies are common in Egypt. Perhaps so. But they don't come and go at the word of man. The smiting of the first born was, of course, the climax. Pharaoh yielded but it was not genuine repentance. He was sorry that he was suf- fering but he wasn't sorry for his sin against God and against Israel. Hence he found no de- liverance but instead a watery grave. 1 People are the same today. One woman became bitter about her suffering. She thus made life more miserable for herself and for those about her, . She shed forth gloom. A man became seriously ill. He had no place for God in his life. But in the months of ill- ness his attitude gradually changed. Through prayer and medical skill his health was re- stored. Now he values prayer and is very thankful to God. He can say with David, "Before . I was afflicted I went astray: bull now have I kept thy word. - It is good for me that I have been afflicted that I might learn thy statutes.v Psalm 119:67, 71. Hitler learned the folly of op- pressing the descendants of Abraham. Though they have not yet acknowledged Jesus Christ as their Messiah, God has not forgotten His covenant with this people. What a day it will be for all men when they turn from their unbelief! I hope I am living to see it.
