FIGHTING FEVER
WITH THUMB MARK
BertillOn Method Used on
Health Certificates.
WILL CHECK YELLOW JACK
Marine Hospital Thinks 1t Has Found
Sure Preventive for Spread
of Disease.
WILL CHECK YELLOW JACK

Another precaution against the fur
ther development of yellow fever out
side of New Orleans has been taken by
the Marine Hospital Service. which is
now in charge of the fever situation In
the South
The service has decided TO adopt the
Bertillon method of thumb impression
on the health certificate which it is re-
quired that everyone must have who
desires to go TO other States.
In adding this precaution TO those al
ready taken by the service. the OFF,
cials in charge believe they have posi-
tive preventive for the spread Of fever
and for the transfer of a health GER
tificate.
Is Positive Proof
1t was long ago conceded by the
noted F'renchman, Bertillon, that the
thumb mark is even a more positive
proof of identity than the features of
the face or the measurements of the
body. No two thumbs are alike. and
microscopic inspection of the impress
sion will tell in an instant whether 1t
is identical with the one it is supposed
to represent
The new health certificates which are
llOW Dtihs iSSutu III 4NtH OAiSehAAoB Z"
serve a place In the corner for the
thumb impression. Every applicant for
d certificate is required to make an ink
il .Jression of his thumb on the card,
and should the authenticity of the GER
tificate ever be questioned at any point
the officer in charge there would simply
require the bearer to again make his
thumb impression, and the two would
be compared for purposes of identified
ticn.
This method is said to be an almost
infallible proof OF identity. The Ma
rine Hospital Service does not even re-
Quire a duplicate of the Impressions for
its Office. At every point to which d
certificate is given the officers are pro-
vided with all the necessary equipment
to identify the bearer.
The employment of the thumb mark
recalls the fact. that, while IL has been
in use for some years in France, Eng
land. and the United States for pur-
poses of identifying criminals. Ii has
figured extensively in fiction. One OF
the most familiar instances OF the lat
ter is in Mark Twains celebrated story
"Puddin'head WILSON," when the chief
character is made 10 prove by thumb
marks that condemned man is no,
guilty of the murder with which he is
charged.

In a dispatch from Washington this

Remedy Hard to Find.

for these general defects is TO be found.
save in the creation Of a public senti-
ment which might find expression in
various ways II is out of the question.
] suppose, 10 bring the force OF Law
to bear in determining what size or style
of building a man may be permitted TO
put up. Indeed, the law itself stands
IN the way, 10 some extent. OF an i'm
provement Of conditions. I make refer
ence here TO the law regarding party
walls. the troublesome existence Of
which negatives the very possibility OF
esthetic architectural construction.
ITO illustrate what a refined public
sentiment might effect. let me take Du-
pont circle as an example Here Is one
cf the prettiest circles in the city and
II might be made a thing OF beauty and
a Joy feseyer. from the architects View
point. II the owners OF property there
were to agree upon a general plan Of
building including therein a symmetri-
cal skyline and something Ike evenness
in the design OF the buildings But as
long as each Individual owner consults
only his personal likes and dislikes,
things Will remain as they are.
In Paris they do these things differ
emily. There the government has step
ped in, and It prescribes what kind OF
buildings may OF may not be erected
II is more despotic in this respect than
London. where the city government
spends millions OF pounds in the pur-
chase OF improved property in order TO
create symmetrical streets When the
old buildings have been razed. and the
streets laid out. the government sells
the land for the erection OF houses but
the purchaser must obligate himself to
conform to a certain style. Again, in
Europe, the un.ightly rows Of dwellings
which disigure our cities. Washington
included. are practically unknown.
Skyscrapers an Obstacle
"Our skyscrapers are another obstacle
to architectural symmetry. and yet IL
is doubtful II the building Of them will
be checked 10 any material extent. Let
me say right here that commercialism
and good taste are not hostile in this
the latter may become a decided factor
In advancing the profitableness of an
