SPEAKING PORTRAIT.
New Scheme to Still Further Aid In

Detecting Criminals.
Everyone knows that, thanks to the
great Partisan criminal expert, NJ.
Bertillon, a criminal who falls into the
clutches of the law more than once
stands absolutely no chance of hiding
his identity If his measurements have
been taken by the anthropometrical
system. But. as every criminal also
knows. when he Is at large this sys-
tom is practically useless IS hia pnr-
suer; the detective cannot measure
the length Of Il mans middle finger In
n crowd or taken an impression OF his
thumb, Yet once again the genius of
n. Bertillon has triumphed over the
Identification difficulty, and he has
come forward with system which APP
proaches very near perfection.

1t does not necessarily follow that
because the chapters are arranged In
this order, the detectives, will apply
thin in the same order to his criminal.
When looking for his man he carried
in his mind only the most character

as the eyes, nose. forehead or ear
These the criminal cannot alter at

hair or the complexion OF his face: he
may hide his mouth under false hair.
or disguise his build OF body by pad
