...part of a Herald-American crusade for pay raises for cops. But when they started snooping around the Case of the Murdered Bride, all the other news of the day was shoved back among the goiter-cure ads. The story was a natural: the victim had worked as a dice girl in a gin mill and she had been married just two days. When she was found dead in a ditch, the hunt for her husband was on. Connelly and Drury found him. While the Herald-American pulled out all the stops (HERO REPORTERS REVEAL HUSBAND'S OWN STORY...
Fairbanks is wide open. Gambling flourishes in back rooms. Nobody in Fairbanks was surprised at the arrival of an air express package marked simply: "One magnet, dice, and electrical attachments." Alaska still views the old-fashioned brothel with sympathetic tolerance.

Dice of the University of Michigan, described experiments on the survival value of protective coloration. He sprinkled a laboratory floor with soil. He populated the area with deer-mice, half of which matched the soil in color; half of which did not. Then he loosed owls, turned down the lights and retired. Over a series of such experiments, the owls, ate 24 to 29% more contrasting mice than matching ones. This, said Dr. Dice, illustrated the biological...
