"I think that some women are aduir-12345 deg. Eaving NNW. Revil, ind ably fitted for detective work," she said, and that they with be a great asset to the country. In some ways they are itter fitted for it than men. If t ed any very subtle work done I should not put a man on to it. I should employ a woman. They pay much more atten- tion to small facts that a man would be apt to regard as insignificant, nnd will build up a case on them. They seem to have exir sense, and though some thing they notice does not seem to have any value from a presical 'point of view in working out a theory, it does work

It is really astonishing what thy blackmailer will think and do. Some of the cases are sad, as for instalice, when the offender does not start with the idea of blackmail, but pushed into it by force of cirqumstances. It may be that he is almost destitute and has lost every thing of value except this one piece of information which he threatens to use."
