...problem of dealing with criminals has always been concerned with speed and accuracy of judgment, and, as might be expected, the latest contribution to both these qualities comes from a foreign country, in this case Hungary, which has just acquired what is probably the most advanced method of securing prima facie evidence. For the Hungarians now use a fleet of automobiles especially equipped with every useful kind of apparatus for the discovery and apprehension of malefactors. From moving picture cameras to portable laboratories, the cars are complete, a decided contrast to the traditional derby and cigar equipment in vogue...

Now it seems they are grown too numerous for their visible means of support and are doomed to death by starvation or a worse-than-death existence with enforced birth control. The method is simple.
