woman member Of the Civil Service
commission, said:
1T is one thing to be able to quickly
recognize types and count papillary
ridges, but quite another to catalogue
all the prints which are taken. When
you come to think of it, just how
would you go to work to arrange them
SO that you could easily find any par
ticular one you might want at any
timer"
Anyone who is interested may see
the fingerprints which illustrate the
different types in the files of the Civil
Service commission. Great black fin
ger ends they are, with here a whorl.
there an arch, and next loop. And
If the expert is there he will look at
your hand and tell you about your own
fingertips In most satisfying way.
"What-arches on your flnger?' he
exclaims, while you wish that your
digits were more spotless than the
subway has made them. what re-
markable hand. Really a remarkable
hand" And you go away pulled with
pride because of your remarkable
hand, though after all, It may profit
you no more to have arches on all
your fingers than 1t would to have
few whorls or loops thrown in.
Footprints are used among some
peoples for Identification. Perhaps tho

his youth.
1t is a matter of discussion as TO

this morning by prying open win

cents. Several weekly pay envelopes
which had not yet been delivered Were
locked up in n safe in the office but
the burglars were unable to reach
them 1t is believed that knowledge

there is seldom any large amount Of
