There are stories in which eriii itials have nnade false rubber fingerprints. But what the author did not realize is that, though rubber fingerprints can be;worn all right, it's impossible to reproduce the myriads of tiny pores between the lines—pores that ran he detected through a l]licroscupe. The police are unlikely to he taken iin by this trick. Astronomical Oddi Forgery is fairly common, but tit would be a lot less so if only G.rinainals realized that no man ever Signs his name the sane way twice. In fact, one Harvard mathemati- ccian has asserted that the chances against', any man writing his name :exactly the sante way twice are i31 trillion to one! In the U.S.A. a clan named Rice died suddenly, leaving five million dollars to a friend. Relatives of the Rice fancily contested the will, four pages of which were signed "W. M. Rice." The signatures, when magnified, corresponded with such exactness that the court had no Hesitation in ruling thein forgeries, Never try to alter a will or fake the age of a document. When in 1910, Colonel Joseph Pilcher pro- «inced the will of Lilian Kerford, which appointed him sole legatee and executor, her relatives ques- tioned its legality. The ivill was purported to be signed in 1898, but when treated with reagents, the ink ran—and proved to,14e,rio more than three years old! When con- fronted with the evidence, Pilcher confessed to having altered it and received a sentence of three years. There are numerous other tests for exposing writing frauds. In 1935, Carter and Pollard ex- posed a number of forgeries of rare manuscripts, some of wi.ich had completely fooled British Museum experts, by proving that bamboo and sparta grass were contained in theecolnposition of the paper. Some of the volumes were supposed to have been printed in 1842—one was a first edition of Tennyson's lelorte d'Arthur"—but. sparta grass was not used for paper making till 1861. Murder is the most difficult crime to get away with; bullets and blood both talk. The police can tell with cer- tainty froin which gun a bullet is fired and often from what range. Sometimes a dead man is found with a gun in his hand and a bullet through his head. A Mexican criminologist, T. A. Gonzalez, has now made it possible to say, by means of the "nitrate test," whether he committed suicide or was shot by another. As for blood; don't imagine that you can fool the police because bloodstains have been scrubbed off the floorboards or out of your clothes. It has been proved, after a lapse,.af eighteen years, that a greyish stain was blood; and scien- tists say that the blood of mummies 5,000 years old reacts to the same tests. One cunning criminal, charged with murder because of bloodstains on his jacket, stated that they were those of a Belgian hare he had killed. But microscopic analysis re- vealed that the red corpuscles cor- responded exactly with those of the dead man. That criminal was riot clever enough. How was he to know that the red corpuscles in the blood of a man are 1/3250 of an. inch; a monkey 1/3382; a horse 1/4243; a nig 1/4246—and that scientists have no difficulty in distinguishing human blood frons that of any other species! HELPFUL :fired after a difficult day, a politician handed the nnentr back to the waiter and said: "just bring rile a good meal." He put a generous tip on his plate, and a good meal was served. When it was over the politician gave an extra tip as a goodbye gesture. The waiter leaned over his chair confidentially, "Thank you, sir;" he said, "and if you've got any other friends who can't read, just send them along to ate." Love That Bull --Doug Prince, known as "tile Hamburger King of the Southwest," caresses "Ace Triumph," the Grand .Champion steer of the Livestock Show after paying $72,590 for the prize beefer. The steer was bought originally for $17,800 by oil man Glenn McCarthy, who donated it for a charity auction. Hockey seems_ to have been get- ting quite a heavy play from United States magazines lately, two recent •exan]ples of their interest in tate game being an article entitled "Pucks Bad Loy" in LIFE, and "What's Happening to Hockey?" in SPORT. • at * „Puck's 'Bad Boy" does not—as you might have iinagined -- refer to Babe'Pratt or any of the other athletes who made reputations for being aitch -raisers on and off the ice.. Instead, it is about Toronto s own Conn Smyth, and whether or not it gives anything like a true picture of the Napoleon of Maple L"eaf Gardens depends, a whole lot, on your point of view. tz * * 'l'hc writer of the article starts off with a hair-raising description of one of hockey's most memorable occasions -- the evening down in Boston when Eddie Shore and Ace Bailey collided, with such dire re- sults to the latter that he—and big- time hockey—almost passed out of the picture. Listen! rF * * "Ace Bailey catapulted into the air and came down on his head. He lay there bleeding, motionless except for a convulsive twitching of the muscles. "After the first stunned silence one of Smythe's other boys, big Red Horner, skated up to Shore.. "Put up your hands I'm going to hit you," be said and then he swung. The blow knocked Shore backwards in a half -flip, IIe too came down on his head. He lay still in an - .other widening pool of blood, * e * - "Bedlam broke loose in the Gar- den. As the unconscious players were carried front the ice, Smythe went right with them. So when a loud -mouthed fan blocked the way, Smythe swung on him, putting every one of his 132 pounds be- hind the blow. The fan's glasses were shattered and more blood flowed. "Smythe was hauled off to the police station. Ace Bailey was rushed to Audubon Hospital where an emergency operation was per- formed on his broken skull.. Ile was given a 50-50 chance .to live. Eddie Shore, with seven stitches in his scalp, was hustled off to Bermuda to Wait till things cooled down." Climbing Cutlass---Zootniilg skyward. 011 a test flight is the E7U-3 Cutlass, a new and- unproved version of Chance Vottgllt .Aircraft'stwill.-jet, tailless fighter plane. Note the "checker- board" rudder that identifies test planes, The Cutlass is a fast- elilt7hitlg, high-altitude fighter,. able to operate from carriers and to fly "more than 600 miles an hoar." Quite a nifty piece' of' word- painting—quite in keeping with the "Bang! Bang! and another Redskin bit the dust" school of literary pro- cedure. But right on the heels of that come a couple of sentences which, in our humble opinion, are distinctly unfair to the Maple Leaf Hockey Team's boss. "This is the kind of rough-and-tumble hockey," the writer goes on, that is dear to Colin Smythe's heart. Indeed, it is the kind of hockey he is counting on to win the Stanley Cup playoffs four weeks from now." * Now, we personally, are just about as far "this side idolatry" in regard to Colon Smythe as one can get and, in our time, have cri- ticized fairly harshly itis actions and his influence on hockey, But saying that the sort of hockey which end - so close to the brink of tragedy that it wasn't any funis the kind that is "dear to his heart" goes --to our alleged mind --just a trifle too far: " The balance of the article gives a fair summary of the Smythe career although we didn't notice any mention of the fact that, at one time, Conn liked to have an occa- sional wager on the ponies, and was a pretty fair picker too, at times. But some things are prob- ably better forgotten in this highly moral age. We doubt that the staff of Maple Leaf Gardens will greatly relish this—"The attitude of every employee in the building is gov- erned each morning by one ques- tion 'Is IIe In Yet?' If the answer is yes, it is the signal to look busy." Still, a writer can't expect to please everybody. * a e The LIFE: article concludes with Smythe's attitude to waning attend- ances' in many hockey centers. "They're trying to take the color out of hockey, We're trying. to put it back." 'That" adds the writer of the article, "might turn out in the long tun to be the most important answer of all," * * * 1/Veil, "color" is a word that has been badly kicked around in recent years; and if the casual reader of the article should get the idea that the particular tint referred to is that of blood, the fault is that of the Loan who 'wrote "Puck's Bad Soy" and not of Conon Smythe, * In the other article mentioned, "What's Happening in Hockey?" Al 1iirshberg really goes down the line with the present day game. Space will not permit any extended review, but a few quotes from hither and yon may give you an idea of its general flavour. `* '5 * "A. red line and a few greedee magnates are strangling big -tune hockey.

Com- paratively little or any of those in- gredients, including the fans, is left." * * * "Hockey used to have a season of its own, It used to respect the sea- sons—and rights—of others. Once in a dear, dead day beyond recall, it had a sensible, 44 -game schedule. Then, literally in leaps and bounds, it jumped, first to 48, then to 50, then to 60. Last year, with a bland disregard for the welfare of the game, the owners stretched the schedule to 70 games, which is much, much, much too much." * * "One of hockey's greatest charms has always been its dizzy pace. The pace isn't dizzy any more. The boys are too tired. Where two great •forward lines used to do the job, now three or even four lines, often mediocre, are iii operation. The quality of the gauze has descended ie reverse proportion to the quan- tity."

But, from the above, you will probably get the idea that Mr, Al Horshberg believes something is radically wrong with Our modern hockey-. Well, he's by no means alone in that belief, Breakdown Gang During the Abyssinian C'allnpaig i a six-ton lorry broke down on a lonely road. The rocks were full of baboons, and they climbed down and sat in a circle to watch the driver and his mate tinker with the engine. Those two poor devils couldn't get it started, and had to walk ten miles to the nearest ve- hicle aid post. When they got back with a mechanic and a breakdown truck, they found that the baboons had mastered tho use of that fas- cinating toy, the spanner, and were unscrewing the lorry nut by nut. What's more, they went onr un- screwing. It would have cost a man's life to stop them. A. girl who reduces herself isn't necessarily a bargain, Was Nearly Crazy With Fiery itch t7at.
