Auto “Finger Prints” Enable Sleuths to Beat Thieves at Their Own Game Boy, page Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes and all the rest of the detective department of dream land. Automobiles have "finger prints." Sounds funny but that is what of ficials of ths automobile theft bureau of the Omaha police department de clare. Val Buglewiez, acting chief of the bureau, declare# that every metor car could be Identified by its "finger prints.” The identification is made by the little marks that can not be de stroyed by even the most clever auto mobile thief. When an automobile has been stol en, Buglewiez points out, the first thing the thief does is mutilate and attempt to destroy identification num bers stamped on the engine block. These numbers have been stamped while the casting is stil hot. To re move them the thief must either us# a file or emery wheel and grind down the surface of the block until the fig ures become ilegible. And there Is where the "finger prints" of an automobile come In. The number, because It has been stamped on while the casting is hot, can never be entirely obliterated. Although the surface that once contained the numerals may he made shiny and new members stamped on, still the detectives have discovered a way of bringing back the old number. The numbers, in some way, because of the temperature while casting, go all the way through the metal. On a suspicious looking car tb» engine is run until the water In the radiator boils and then heat is applied to the outside of the block. When the ouside heat Is applied the old numbers, the "finger prints" of the machine, become legible again. Sometimes they are barely legible enough to sec. Sometimes they are plain enough to photograph. Ad-Sell League to Hold St. Patrick Day Program Dr. Arthur W.
