THUxB-PRINT MAY Be USED.
matter Of using thumb prints for
Identification Of passenger tickets
and to prevent scalping, was dis
cussed by the Transcontinental Pas
senger Traffic Association in Chi
cago q short time ago. The in.
yentor Of the device, Salt Lake
man. was present and urged his plan
as safe and certain. His idea is to
have the buyer Of . ticket put an i'm
print of his thumb on the ticket in
the place where the ticket is now
signed. At the time of valuation
another thumb-print would be made
in the presence of the validating Of
ficers. It is said that the thumb
prints Of any two people are SO diff
ferent that they can be detected ut
q glance, and 80 it would be impos-
sible for any one scalping q ticket to
do any forging.

are diamonds found Arkansas and
California-and all the rare stones
produced in year in both do not
equal the output for single day from

VoTING SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA
They have started voting schools in
California to teach women how to
vote. The Socialists have started the
custom, and one is contemplated in
each voting precinct. 1t really seems
that as simple a matter as marking
and depositing ballot to express in
dividual preference is not such a
complicated duty as to require much
instruction. But that errors will en-
sue, was shown when the present
ballot system was inaugurated. A
popular politician who had held
q county Office here for nearly a
quarter Of q century made the
discovery. The old system Of use
Of partisan tickets had been supplant-
cd by the present official ballot,
with all the names and the voter was
required to place cross after the
name of the candidate he was voting
for. This officer meeting several
of his supporters while they were
emerging from the polls. remarked
Il hope you didn't forget to vote
for me?" "You bet, did not" was
the reply, I'VE put q big black cross
opposite the name of your opponent"
The h-you didi screamed the ex-
cited politician. Why you voted
against mel" And SO they had, but
the matter was beyond recall. It is
hardly to be supposed. however. that
such an error could be made now,
after the simple checking of candi.

The Naked Truth.

Boston" which has so long led in
the acne of culture even through her
love OF beans may have detracted
somewhat from for aesthetic form.
has fallen at one stumble from her
noted position as leader in social
proprieties in an abSured law, or pro-
badly a misconceptiOn of the true
meaning of an act of the legislature
which they construe into a require
ment OF physical examination of all
pupils in the public schools. The old
law required every child and pupil in
the common schools to be tested for
defective sight or hearing, but it
seems a late requirement goes much
farther and authorizes and prescribes
Instructors say-tbe disrObement of
the pupils under examination in the
primary grades, and high school girls
from IA to Is years OF age are being
subjected to those examinations.
The Christian Science Monitor has
deemed the matter of sufficient i'm
portance to institute public investi-
CATION. 1t finds that in some instances
the little children are compelled
to strip off their clothing and the
older girls to appear before the ex-
aiming physician with all their
clothing removed to the waist, with
the exception of gauze undervest.
1t claims that young girls are COM
PEELED also to appear before the male
physicians in their gymnasium suits.
The Monitor evidently takes very
conservative view of this seemingly
exceedingly radical method of prob
ing for hidden causes of personal dis.
order and possibly of spread of in
lection. 1t declares: 1--WE have no
fear that when all the parents know
just what is being done, any of them
will take exceptions to the method.
That there will have to be a radical
change Of opinion, of course of the
parents, to make this verdict as
unanimous as seems expected. And
right here we see the necessity OF
having more of the learned doctors
from the ranks of the fair sex. to
conduct such examinations as must
tend at least to remove to some de-
gree.the innate modesty which is the
charm ..of the fair sex, to wipe the
bloom from the peach when subject
to the obtrusive stare of mems eyes.
In justification of these examina-
tions DR.. Samuel Durgin, Chairman
of the Board of Health. declares
that any attempt to determine
strength of the heart, lungs or spine
is worthless unless it is made on the
skin, and the Board intends that the
statutes shall be enforced and the
most thorough examination possible
given the school children Of the city.
The interpre tation Of this resolve is
that where the heart, spine or lungs
are affected, the rule is to be abso-
lutte and imperative.

ANYTHING FOR SHELTER. - Port
land has been in the habit of afford
ing sleeping accommodations at the
city Jail to such wandering WilIies
as had no protection from inclement
weather. On Wednesday night fifty
one men had to stand on their feet
simply from the fact that all avail
able room had been taken. Jail ac-
commodations were full By 10 O'Clock
and all those arrested after that
hour were unable to secure beds.
Derelicts, without money or means
to procure outside lodgings. could
not be given anything more than
standing room at the Jail. The mu-

also early in the evening that there
was no room for wayfarers.
