Asks Motorists To Drive Slowly Another appeal to motorists to 4 drive slowly when passing workmen engaged in construction and} other work on the state highways,’ was made today by James D. Adams, chairman of the State Highway Commission. Warning signs, calling the attention of motorists to the presence of workmen on or along the pavement, are placed sufficiently, far away to peremit the driver to slow down and. have his vehicle under control before he reaches the place where work is in pro-; gress. Some motorists, disregard-} ing these caution signs, have been | responsible for accidents and the i death as well as injury of workers.l i Architect Pens Will In Rhyme LONDON, Mar. 11.

New Method of Marking Costly Articles Devised by G-Men toXheck Robberies

Manufacturers Enlisted to Put Microscopic Identification "tetTags’on Thei/Products to Facilitate Tracing r Ft- 'd B 1 ng •*■*** w Jif \ ’3 ft. J Ed car Hoove Index bureau on FBI

By C. DAVID VORMELKEK International Illustrated News W riter i WASHINGTON, D. C. — The United States government through ! the direction of J. Edgar - Hoover, ' head of the federal bureau of ini vestigation, is making an entirely I new drive on thieves. It is being ■ accomplished with the aid of the [manufacturers of valuable personal property, such as jeweled or precious metal, belt buckles and costly articles all the way up to minkgand ermine fur coats. Microscopic indentifying marks are being put on these articles by the manufacturers at the request of the federal bureau of investigation. These minute marks are now being recorded by the federal authorities in a vast and extensive file. Through it the police the world over will be able to determine clearly, the ownership of many items coming before them in the investigation of thefts totaling millions of dollars a year, if the article under examination was manufactured in the United States. J. Edgar Hoover believes this to be the greatest forward step taken in recent years in the unceasing fight of police officials against *crime and disregard of property rights. Costly Articles Tagged As the files expand, Rhea Whitely, agent in charge of the New York local office of the bureau, expects the efficiency of this unique “fingerprinting” of valuable articles to be greatly increased.

will be especially helpful to insurance companies in recovering stolen property and may, in the e future, make possible a reduction h in the premiums on theft policies. ’’ Without publicity the bureau ' hes been quietly at work indexing y ; and filing secret identifying marks ’ on precious stones, jewelry, furs e and antiques. In order to facilit- ' ate the gathering of these marks r all manufacturers of such articles d are sending in photographs and 3 detailed descriptions of the items and their identifying marks, to s the national stolen property file t at the federal bureau of investifigation headquarters at Washing- “ ton, D. C. ®f The filing system is an out- '; growth of the . national stolen property act of 1934, w’hich made f interstate transportation of stolen j property valued at 55.000 or more, a federal offense. The full force *ibf the bureau, numbering 625 jimen has been busy working out and perfecting the system. 5 In addition to the manufacturers of recordable items, the in- ’ surance companies are sending in detailed marking descriptions of } the property they insure.

fruitless contact of the various police departments, now may quickly be identified and returned to the owner. Science Enemy of Criminal While the bureau will, of course have the additional task of trying [to identify articles from whidh all identification marks have been re- ! moved, especially the secret marks ! every facility of the laboratories will be at the disposal of ! making the identification. In the I laboratories it will be comparatively simple to accomplish this ask because of the many scientif- . ic aids now employed in detecting crime. For example, police can i now determine the engine number \ of an automobile, even though it has been painstakingly filed off ! the engine block, through the use jof certain acids. Since 1919, when the federal act on stolen cars became effective, the bureau agents have recovered 42,984 automobiles, which had been stolen and transported to : other states. The present system is in an em- ! bryonic stage, but its value lies in the fact that eventually, with the co-operation of law enforcement authorities in the various communities throughout the nation, the bulk of all stolen prop- : erty of any value will, at some time, be found, identified and the i thieves caught and punished. Thus thefts that occur now may be cleared up even ten years from today.
