Wade, Deputy NRA Edministrator for Alaska, left last night on the motorship North- land. He will confer with salmon packers there over the code for that industry and spend a few days observing its operations. Mr. Wade said the code generally seems to be working out in fine | shape.

Checked All Tips Centralization of direction some-, times goes even further than that. In big cases, Hoover directs ihe * questioning of prisoners on the ba- sis of telephonic reports re'-exved from the field. He is in almost constant tele- ohonic touch with men out on the Jcb. He has a private line strung from the department building to his house so he can be reached at heme day or night. Sifting the Dillinger tips which came to the department required a , Jot of time. “We couldn’t afford to overlook a single one,” Hoover said. “Some- | times we got as many as a dozen a day. All were checked.” ! Police experts often have ex- pressed wonder at the amount of work the 480 men in the division accomplished.

Then they will be! sent out on the crime front. b Hoover shifts his men_from af-! fice to office about every two years. This, he explains, gives them anj “adaptable” attitude. ] Movements of the operatives are cloaked in secrecy. ‘The kidnaping-of Charles Boett- cher, II, df Denver was an dbjec:‘ lesson to Federal agents. Boett- cher helped locate the hideout of the kidnapers by recalling the ap- proximate time he heard an air- plane pass overhead while he was held prisoner. In every abduction case after, . that, Hoover says, kidnapers stuffed; Instruments used in technical | work include the comparison micro- ' scope, in which the images of two | separate bullets are brought within a single eyepiece for comparison; the binocular microscope, which uses low magnification for the ex- amination of handwriting, type- writing and similar specimens. e NOTICE Property owners wishing to fill ‘in_their property on Willoughby Avenue or elsewhere in the city |must first obtain a permit from the City Clerk’s Office, in order to safeguard the sewer system.

PINK PILLS for PALE PEOPLE! WHAT a laugh! And yet, when Grandfather hitched up his galluses and set out in search of something to “fix up his stomach” or “cure his liver,” the chances were about ten to one he’d be stopped on a street corner and sold something of no value whatever, by just such words! There aren’t many pink pills, any more, nor are there very many pale people who are pale because they lack the proper foods and mediclnes. Advertising, changed all that. b Advertising gave the man who knew pink pills were useless and that what he had to sell was worthy of public confidence a chance to'say so, and why. Today, people know why their children: should drink a certain kind of cod liver oil; why a certain sunlamp is the proper‘one for them to use; why the things they buy are made, what they cost, why' they cost what they do, and what they may expect from every purchase. What greater reason could there be for making the reading of adver- tisements an accepted part of your daily life, your part in the unceasing struggle to strip from the goods you use every last vestige of misrepre- sentation and raise present standards to new heights of honest usefulness.
