SCOTLAND YARD SLEUTHS CARRY “MURDER BAGS” Detectives in Search of Crime Olues Impersonate Physicians Mak- ing Professional Calls. Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON.—Scotland Yard detectives setting out to solve a murder have taken on the appearance of physicians making professional calls. Sherlock Holmes has been equipped with a neat little leather valise, called “the murder bag,” but instead of sugar-coated pills it contains scientific instruments for investigation of crime. Each murder bag holds apparatus for taking finger prints; two test tubes for such specimens hair, bits of clothing or tokens of identification, two magnifying <glasses, a rubber apron and scissors, forceps, disin- fectant, towel and soap; a roll of tape and a tape measure, an electric lamp, a two-foot rule, a compass for deter- mining the exact position of the body and a pair of handcuffs. Potatoes from the United States have helped relieve the vegetable shortage in the Boquet region of Panama. The whole world knows Aspirin as an effective antidote for pain. But it's just as important to know that there is only one genuine Bayer Aspirin. The name Bayer is on every tablet, and on the box. If it says Bayer, it’s genuine; and if it doesn’t it is not! Headaches of all sorts are dispelled by Bayer Aspirin. So are colds, and the pain that goes with them; even neuralgia, neuritis, and rtheumatism promptly relieved. Get Bayer—at any drugstore—with proven directions. Physicians prescribe Bayer Aspirin; it does NOT affect the heart Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Monoaceticacidester of Salicylicacid 927—PART 1. D. A. R.
