Valley Forge continues to be the
center of interest of thousands and
thousands of visitors from erery
tion of the country, aa well as from
abroad.
Railroads and automobile bus
pauios regularly run excursions t<
famous old shrine of patriotism
on Sundays and holidays even
broad acres of Valley Forge are t
for space by the huge throngs,
addition many visitors travel by pri
vate motor cars over the excellent
roads, kept in splendid conditlou by
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
All roads to Valley Forge run
through u landscape of remarkable
beauty, artists agree, and theso roads
are treated, as necessity arises, with
chemicals, especially calcium chloride,
to lay the dust.
Only 32 miles from Philadelphia, the
shrine has long been oue of the favor
ite objectives for daily excursions for
Philadelphians, as well as for visitors
to that city who have combined the
Valley Forge trip with a tour of other
places of historic interest, such as
Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross
House and other relies of the Revolu
tion.

I'-'iyslcians have long known that

The matter seems simple enough.

So likewise might other occupations
be determined: a school teachc« from
chalk dust: a jeweler from gold and
silver particles: a druggist from chem
ical specks; a lumberman from mi
nute fragments of wood, and so
through most of the scale.
In the same way a man’s city may
bo determined by analysis of dust
found In his clothing. If It contains
much carbon or coal, he probably
comes from Scranton; If copper, from
Butte, Montana; If bits of minute
coral, from St. Augustine, Florida,
whose streets are paved with coral,
and similarly down the list.
No one pretends that the list at this
time Is accurate. But some patient In
vestlgators In the future may coropil*
a Mat of occupations, as wel* as of
cities, with all the precision that the |
advance of science may bring to It i
and then the Job of the detectives
promises to be easier.

was able to help the police to con
