If THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1930 2 a IDDEHLlia 1IICK LIGHT BIS In Hollywood Brawl BYRD MODEST HERO AS DUNEDIN CHEERS FROM BLAZ I DOYS NEW WEAPON Him in Antarctic as He ii Will See Chance To Smoke Out Cal To the Sdllor of fli Inalr: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif-March 10. Good chance now for President Hoover to smoke Mr. Coolidge out and see how he stands on the future; offer him this Supreme Court vacancy. If Mr. Coolidie refused to tak it, it would show that he had other ideas in his head, because it'a pretty well established that once you go on that bench people don't like the idea of you leaving it to come back and run for even President.

But poor Mr. Hoover; whoever he appoints, that Senate will hold a two weeks' clinic over the body. Just offhand, Lindbergh would be the only one I know of that they might let past. And I'll bet there would be a couple object to him. Yours, WILL ROGERS.

WASHINGTON, March 10, Specu lation waa rife here today concerning the nomination of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to succeed the lute Edward T. Sanford. A num. ber of names were prominently mentioned, but thu far there has been no intimation from the White House as to who will be selected.

The question aroused more than usual interest because of the recent battle In the Senate over the confirm tlon ot Charles Evans Hughes as Chief Justice to succeed William How ard Taft. To the surprise of the" friends of the choice of Chief Justice Hitches, about a of the Senate lined up against his confirmation. Should the president appoint a man whom the Insurgent Republicans regard as vulnerable and objectionable, there will be a repetition of the fight which was made against the choice of Chief Justice liughes. Mitchell's Nam Mentioned William D. Mitchell.

Attorney Gener al, is generally looked on as a serious possibility for appointment. His name Is being freely mentioned In Benate circles and elsewhere. Judge W. 8. Kenyon of Iowa, member of the Law Enforcement Com mission, and member of the circuit court of appeals, is prominently mentioned in the discussions.

Judge Kenyon. former Senator from Iowa, is on good terms with the administration. The name of former President Calvin Coolidge also hag been suggested. It is pointed out in some quarters that Mr. Coolidge is a possibility for the Republican nomination in 1932.

To put him on the Supreme Court would remove this possibility. Whether he would accept the post of Associate Justice after being President of the United States is doubted in some uuarters. Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia, of special counsel for the Government in the naval oil cases, is mentioned, but it is considered doubtful whether he would care to abandon his lucrative law practice.

While giving full credit to the cour-n go of the three men who accompanied him on this flight over mountain tops with temperatures far below zero, Byrd directed attention ruther to the achieve ments of ltoald Amundsen and Hubert Hcott.

Asked how it felt to fly over the South Pole, Byrd said: "Very much like flying over the North Pole, except the North Pole was bumpier. Byrd is the only man who has flown over both poles.

CU WARD 0 TIARS or siivic' Invisible Ray Will Divulge Origin of Bootleg Alcohol, Scientist Declares Dr, Goodman Proves Claims Before New York Academy of Medicine NKW YORK, March 10 (A.

A new possibility for aiding prohibition enforcement by using "black light" to detect indelible Identification marks in bootleg alcohol was proposed here to-uight. The method would enable prohibition officers to take a drink made from distilled commercial alcohol, and no matter how many times it had been "washed" by the bootlegger, Identify the place where the original alcohol was manufactured. The secret and the scientific developments making It possible were explained to the Society of Medical Juris prudence tonight at the New York Academy of Medicine by Dr. Herman woodman, a member of the academy "llhtck light" is ultra-violet, from which the visible rays are filtered by a spe I'inl glass, Objects In this Invisible beam are made luminous by (more seenee. Recently the power of this light, a phenomenon long known, has been greatly increased by a new nrn ing glnss which transmits a wider band of ultru-violet than ucretolure avail able.

Ray Turns Water Blue Dr. Goodman filled two pitcher with water and into one droped a dust Heck of a harmless chemical common in chestnuts. It caused no change in appearance of the water in ordinary light, but when the pitcher was set under the invisible ray, the chestnut water wag a brilliant electric blue. "Alcohol," Dr. (ioodman declared, "can be marked in the same way with this chemical.

It will show blue when ever placed under these rays. No amount of distilling will get rid of the telltale color, tor one part in live million of the chestnut stuff is sufficient "There are other chemicals that will make alcohol an indelible red, or green, yellow or other colors. Quinine produces a vivid white. With this method each district in which com mercial alcohol is manufactured fan use its own special color. Wherever the marked alcohol gets Into bootleg stuff the light will identify its original district and should simplify tracing the leak.

Dr. Goodman exhibited some of the detective abilities of the rays. Under them invisible erasures nn checks stood out li glaring colors that could be seen many feet farther than the visible writing. Reveals Invisible Writing He wrote invisible words on towels with ordinary household oils. Under the "black light" they blazoned their Midden messages like glow worms.

He explained how the rays may be used to read invisible writing sent from jaus, and said this Is the only method which will not disclose to a clever crook afterward receiving the message that it has been tampered with. He demonstrated getting fingerprints by the hnndshnke of an apparently clean palm. Hut. he said, no police depart incut in this country is yet equipped Willi the hKlit. He exhibited startling contrasts pro duced by the light between living and dead substances that looked the same to the eve.

lie showed bow a permanent hair wave can be detected, and even the approximate length of time aince the last visit to the barber. If the girl friend on her vacation last summer ran around bareheaded in the sun, but has worn her hat regularly since, the light may reveal the sun trace and give a basis for estimating bow lung ago it waa made, lient ot the sun or of barber's instruments turns hair a lighter golden shade. 'the brand of chewing gum a nap- ier uses may sometimes be determined by turning the light on her tongue. Some chewing gums leave distinctive tongue colors.
