RECORD OF TATTooED MAN
An Interesting system of Identification
In Vogue in the United States
.. ARR
Saturday Evening Post.

d E - - ~ .T =
Saturday Evening Post.
The army keeps an interesting record OF
its tattooed men, There are good many
of them and their Establishments furnish
one OF the principal means of 1dent1f1ca-
tion Indeed this record may be said to
be the basis of the military system OF per
sonal identification In connection with the
detection of .deserters, and is the nearest
approach to the excellent Bertillon method
of the French government.
G 5WhenSa man applies at recruiting sta
tion or at a regimental recruiting depot
he is subjected to a physical examination.
The physical standard of the enlisted man
of the army has been raised within the
last few years by the determination OF the
authorities to accept for duty as soldiers
only such men as possess hard1hood. en-
durance and good physique. In con-
nection with this examination the army
surgeon indicates on q card. furnished Ior
that purpose, the marks upon the body OF
the recruit, whose name, age, height,
color Of hair and eyes and date Of enlist
ment, are also recorded. This card con-
tains the outlined figure of man, the
body divided into sections for the con-
venience Of classifying the distinguishing
marks found on the recruit
The card, with Its faithful record, Is
sent to Washington, where 1t is properly
| indexed and then classified with cards
! Thus the cards which show striking
| scar or tattooed emblem. on the right fore
| arm are put in class by themselves;
card which shows the distinguishing mark
| to be on the left hip goes in class with
other cards presenting a like mark on the
same part Of the body. This makes II
| possible, when a. man deserts and reenlists
under an assumed name, to compare the
card Of the new recruit with the cards o.
l other men Who have served and who are
| distinguished by similar telltale marks
I The most interesting of these distinct
/ i've features are the tattooed marks
/ Sometimes the design is a crude, mean

from school-day trickery. Others arr
