of wears that an individuars finger marks never change. Faurot thinks it would be good to put his system into use in the city's maternity hospi- tals Many of the children are the offspring or criminal parents, and many develop into criminals Eau rot suggests that taking their finger prints would help the police later in tracing these children
 Such a system would be of the highest scientific value, he thinks l. would enable the authorities to determine what proportion of those arrested for crime were born in city institutions. Records of the parents would throW light on the childrcns antecedents and would go far toward showing the relations between crime and heredity and environment It might also help to throw light on the matter of sterlizing criminals.
 Finger print indentification or rather the use of such identification Capt. Faurot thinks is in its infancy. He believes that when the science is more generally understood it will be adopted widely in business Bank clerks, Faurot says. frequently go wrong. and the apprehension of an absconding bank employe would be greatly facilitated if the police had that employees finger prints Finger prints might be attached to pass ports too.

A baby's finger prints, it has been determined by Capt.

 Capt. Faurot has taken finger prints of small children. and after reproducing the impressions on cards has subjected them to a careful microscopicaI analysis. He finds that the peculiar lineations arc sharp and distinctive even though very tiny, and he believes that from the day of it's birth to the day of it's death any child can be identified by it's finger prints.
