Banks May Adopt the Finger Print System

The chance of making a mistake on
a finger print is said to be very re-
mote In the first place, the marks on
a persons fingers or hand never
change during life, and in the second
place, there is only one chance in six
ty-two billions, it has been estimated,
where two persons would develop the
same finger prints. Heretofore, the
finger print method has been used
almost exclusively by the police. As
a part of the Bertillon system it has
been used to trace criminals. The pO-
lice are accustomed to taking impress
sions Of the thumbs and the fingers OF
both hands, but the savings banks do
not go that far.
They take prints Of the first three
fingers on the right hand, emitting the
thumb. These prints are made with in
delible ink on a card which is fled
away along with the depositor's name
and pedigree. When he presents his
bank book to draw out his account he
is questioned as to his pedigree
Should his questions prove unsatisfac
tory he is then asked to make du
plicate finger print for the purpose Of
comparison This is done by simply
sprinkling black powder on the moist
ure left by the fingers on a bant
card. When the powder is blown OF
the print remains and the comparison
can then be made.

FINGER PRINTS as a means Of iden-
L tifying depositors who cannot write
their names may be adopted by Wash
ington Banks. Among the patrons of
the banks, especially Of those which
do a savings business, the proportion
Of illiterates is considerable, 1t was
said by bankers the other day, and
the fact that some Of the Brooklyn
banks have adopted the system Of
finger print signatures for their il1it-
crate customers has suggested to To-
cal bankers that the plan might be
feasible for meeting conditions here
G. L. Bowman, cashier of the Union
Savings bank, said he believed the fin
ger print system of signatures was
practicable, but he did not know Il it
was needed in Washington.
The finger print system has proved
not only popular with the officers Of
Brooklyn savings institutions, but also
has proved an unfailing method of es-

MANY FAKES WITH BEES
Nonswarming Hives Are DeIusion,
Pure and SimpIe-"Shook Swarm"
Plan Is Described.

Most Of the so-called nonswarming
hives are fakes pure and simple The
very last word on the subject is that
of the shook swarm" plan, that en-
ables the beekeeper to swarm each
hive artifciaIly at his convenience and
not that Of the bees. This is the best
method in vogue and is really very
simple. DR.. D. Everett Lyon explains
the process in the Farm and Home:
When a hive gives evidence that 1t is
thinking about swarming, as seen in
the bees clustering OF the outside OF
tie hive and the presence of queen
cells started in the brood nest. it is
time to shake them.
Take an empty hive with lid and
bottom board in place and with the
frames of the hive containing strips Of
foundation wax in place as full combs
Place the empty hive alongside the
one about to swarm and then, lifting
the brood frames from the old hive,
shake on from each. frame almost all
the bees until all the frames have
been so shaken in front of the new
hive, being sure to shake the queen
along with the bees.
Then set the old hive with its brood
nest OF some distance and put the
new hive with the bees in its place
Dc sure to take all the storage cham
bers from the old hive and place them
on the new hive into which the bees
have been shaken. The working force
is with the new hive and that's where
We want the storage chambers, which
will be quickly filed as the bees, hav-
ing only started strips of wax in the
brood combs, must, Of necessity, store
the honey coming in the next few days
in the upper stories until such time as
they will get the starters drawn out
into full combs

GIOries of Mems Hose Tempt Their Wives

FOR months the husbands of Wash
/ ington have wondered why the
sock boxes" which adorn their chit
foniers have always been empty.
Wives when questioned have re
sponded: Your socks are all dirty,
dear. Why don't you think to put
them in the wash and then you need
not. growl about them every day or
So"
In his ignorance the husband has
ceased to "growl' and made the best
of it, usually buying fresh supply on
his way down town. The mistress Of
the household has kept a straight face
and said nothing.
But stolen socks, like murder, VIII
out. and thousands OF former ''growl-
ers' will know what has become of
the "sobbing hose'A which in times past
have vanished from their wardrobes
OF dressing tables.
Saleswomen in the hosiery depart
ments the other day explained away

to the situation in short. Washington
women have been and are now wear

"Of course women are wearing mems
socks" said saleswoman in a Penn
sylvania avenue department store the
other day. Society women are wear
ing their husbands socks these hot
days and holding them up with their
husbands garters as well.
IF the men had only been content
to wear plain hosiery all would have
been well. They clamored for color
and figure, however. The garden, the
rainbow, the peacock were robbed for
color schemes for masculine hose. The
women became envious. The shades
to which they had access were dull
and tame. Boldly they reached out and
began wearing mems half hose In ali
their gaudy colors.
Every day we sell the women doz-
ems of pairs of half hose Most Of
them say, want something suitable
for my husband. but that is all a
bluff, you know"

Cruelty to Parents.

That whimsical philosopher, James
Douglas, in London Opinion. writes of
the crying need of a new society, urg-
ing that it is high time to do away
with the society for the prevention of
cruelty to children and substitute
therefor one for the prevention
of cruelty to parents. He remarks
that donations and subscriptions for
such a beneficent organization would
pour in from those who know by sad
experience how sOrrowful is the lot of
the father who finds himself abandon
ed to the ferocity of his children. Too
long" he writes, has the cry of the
parents fallen upon deaf ears. Do you
hear the parents crying, o my broth
ers? The young lambs are playing in
the meadows, but the old people are
weeping bitterly. Many a fat city
merchant conceals behind his waist
coat heart that is Iacerated by the
savagery of his children. Many an
alderman dilutes his turtle soup with
tears of anguish as he thinks of the
torments his children are preparing
for him in the dark precincts of his
suburban home"

WASHINGTON thrilling nara
w tive OF how Miss Josephine
Throckmorton, author, artist and lover
Of "our dumb friends" braved saw
age bulldog in a vain endeaVor to save
a Kittens life was disclosed the other
day by police court records
Miss Throckmorton, who lives at 121
c street, southeast, was in court as a
witness In the case against Miss Lille
Hinkle of 119 c street, southeast,
charged with permitting her bulldog
to run at large without a muzzle. and
In another case against Edward Wells,
Miss Hinkle's brother-in-law, also hv-
ing at 119 c street, northwest, for
cruelty to animals, in that he per
mjtted the dog to kill the kitten.
According to evidence, Miss Throok-
morton, accompanied by Miss Annie
Laurie Tully, who lives with her, walk
ed from the rear of her premises into
Rumsey's alley just as Wells opened
the gate of the Hinkles' yard and
started out with the bulldog.

Woman Fights Bulldog to Save Kittens Life

There was a small kitten In the al
ley, and Miss Throckmorton and the
bulldog saw the kitten at about the
same time, 1t is stated Miss Throck-
morton called to Wells to hold back
the dog, and ran toward the helpless
little kitten. But Wells, it is said, did
not hold the dog, SO Miss Throckmor-
ton, who loves but does not fear
beasts. she stated, seized the bulldog
by the neck
Miss Throckmorton's strength was
not an equal match for the dog, and
Wells, it was said, did not help her,
but only cried out warningly that the
dog would hurt her.
Finally the bulldog got away from
Miss Throckmorton, and with one
crunch of his powerful jaws. and one
shake of his massive head, ended all
and every, stngly, separately and In
dividually, nine lives of the kitten.
Then Miss Throckmorton swore the
warrant against Wells and Miss Hin
kle. She said she did not think that
persons ought to be allowed to per
NIT such dangerous animals as the
bulldog to be at large without being
muzZled.
Judge Pugh, who tried the case,
fined Wells $40 for cruelty to animals,
and fined Miss Hinkle SIS for allowing
the dog to be at large unmuzzled and
without a leash.

coIIapsibIe Army Car.

collapsible military cart has been
fnyented by an officer of the army
service corps in London. = The cart
will be tested during the grand
manoeuvres of the army next Septern-
Der The cart is built entirely of tu-
bular steel and canvas, and is extreme
ly light to haul, though it will carry
up to a ton dead-weght Several of
these can be carried in motor lorry
of the type now in use in the army
and would be instantly available for
use in any desired direction. 1t is
claimed by the inventor that no coun.
try is too rough for the cart, and that
1t is practically indestructible
It costs very little to build these
carts, since all the parts are inter.
changeable; a temporary breakdown
would not be a very serious matter
since spare parts could easily be car
ried on the motor wagons.

WAS GLAD TO ESCAPE ALIVE
Exciting Experience of English ON
Ger Who Intruded on Sacred Mon
keys of India.

In various parts of India monkeys
are regarded as objects Of worship
One OF the principal monkey temples
Is at Nuddea Such veneration is
shown here to HUFFMAN, the monkey
god, hat visitors may not enter the
court of the temple without removing
their shoes.
On one occasion an English officer, in
passing up the country near Nuddea,
CHANGED to stroll into a bamboo Jungle
when his boat had put to- for the
night He had not advanced far before
he heard a terrific uproar all about
him, and was not a little alarmed to
behold a whole army of the largest
monkeys he had ever seen making
toward him from all quarters.
Some jumped on the ground before
him, others swung by the bambOos
over his head, and many closed up the
path in his rear. Several females had
young ones clinging to them, but
this fact did not seem to render them
less agile than the others.
The Englishman knew not what to
do. He yelled at the top of his voice
for assistance. To his intense relief.
each time that he yelled the monkeys
retreated a bit This encouraged him
to persevere in his shouting, but he
observed that when he himself began
to retreat the monkeys would again
begin to close in upon him.
Then he stood still and gave one
tremendous shout, whereat the mon
keys went back again. This time the
man had gained fully 20 yards and
WAS about to repeat the call when
there appeared a new figure upon
the scene in the person of an aged,
decrepit woman hobbling through the
midst of the animals
This aged person shook two or three
of the monkeys by the paws as she
passed. No sooner had she come
within hearing Of 1.-THE Britisher than
she opened upon him the walls of her
wrath for disturbing the sacred ami
mails in their retirement. She babe the
intruder depart, and that quickly, an
order which he lost no time in exc
cutting. The monkeys all seemed i'm
plicitly to obey the old woman's bid
ding, making a way for The mans re-
treat
The old woman, it appeared, was
employed by the Brahmins to supply
the monkeys with their food each
day. They were worshiped by all OF
the people in the country round, who
brought offerings of rice and sweet
meats to them Observation-Disclosures

HOW TO PLANT STRAWBERRY
Best to Have Plants in Bucket Con-
tanning Water to Keep Roots
In Moist Condition.

One of the best methods Of planting
strawberries is to thrust z spade
straight into the ground at the proper
place to a depth Of five or six inches,
writes r. S SanGo in Outing, and
then lean it over I'd one side, forcing
the soil out of the way and leaving
a wedge shaped hole, one wall OF
which is straight up and down The
roots of the plant should be spread
out in a fan shape against this wall
and the spade, then set in the ground
about six inches farther forward, and
by a backward movement of the han
die firmly press the dirt against the
roots of the plant. To lend additional
fTmness to the soil, step with one
foot on either side of the plant
The last hole made by the spade
should have some soil raked into ii
before leaving. When setting the
plants it is best to have them in a
bucket containing a little water in
order that the roots may be KEEP;
moist until they are planted; but it Is
not necessary or advisable to water
plants Immediately after setting
