DEAD LETTER OFFICE SECRETS
Uncle Sam ls Prepared to Let Every
body Know just How His Good
Work 10 Done.

Uncle Sam is now ready 70 let in the
public on one OF his dead letter office
secrets-for a dollar you can be as
wise as some of his canniest clerks in
finding streets and avenues ascribed
by careless writers to the wrong cities
and towns. The Street Directory OF
the Principal Cities OF the United
States" latest edition, Is now on sale
by the superintendent of documents,
government printing office in Washing
ton. 1t is a sturdy book, bound in
green cloth, issued and revised by the
dead letter office OF the post Office de-
partment. 1t is the publication used
by postal experts In forwarding misdi-
rected letters and mail matter with
address ommissions.
The book shows streets, avenues,
courts. lanes, places. roads. wharves.
piers and other similar locations in
more than 1900 cities and towns in
the established postal service of the
United States.
An interesting introduction showing
the method of address sleuthing"
used IN the postal department, pre-
cedes the street list. Everything is ar
ranged alphabetically and the system,
deemed SO complicated by the general
public, is clear and easily usable by
concerns and private individuals who
have large mailing lists. One of the
commonest errors is easily solvable by
its pages--the habit of writing CITY"
as the final word in an address.
If everybody wrote out the name of
the town instead of Just City" when
addressing letters, there would be few.
er jobs in the dead letter office.

REALLY NO "CRIMINAL FACE"
English Investigator Points Out FalIa'
cy Of What Has Long Been
Accepted.

Scarcely enough Justice has been
done to the admirable work OF Dr..
Charles Goring in his study Of the
English criminal, which has just been
issued as blue book This is even
less an important addition to our
knowledge of the criminal than chal-
lenge to the whole school of crimi-
nologists For the investigations of
Dr. Goring shake the elaborate fabric
built up by Lombroso and those who
have followed in his footsteps.
Our inevitable conclusion" the re-
port states, must be that there is no
such thing as physical criminal
type" The head of the criminal diff
fers in no marked degree from that
of the university graduate, and special
lied crime is discovered to be not due
to selection on the part of the crimi-
nal, but to the opportunities which
present themselves to him. The
criminal who is in a favorable position
for thievlng, thieves; the man who
has no opportunity for taking what is
not his figures among the statistics
of criminal violence.
The one marked characteristic OF
the criminal classes is low order of
physique, frequently associated with
a poor intelligence. Such defects as
these, however, are too common out.

ford any guide in the criminal before
he commits crime. And with that
broad fact the entire structure of a
pseudo-science comes toppling to the
