the Way II Is Worked.
ANY malefactor who gets into the
clutches OF the law nowadays Is a
marked man for life. II he runs up
against the Bertillon system, which Is
scientific method devised by NJ. al
phonse Bortillon for the Identification
Of criminals. Bertillon was born IN
Paris in 1865. Certain measurements
are taken from every convicted per-
son, and these physical records OF pris-
oners are kept on cards, any one OF
which can readily be found by an elab-
crate system Of classification,
The measurements are taken on the
left side of the subject, as they are less
liable to alterations than are those on
the right side. The determination Of
the convict's height Is taken always
ut the same hours, because the stature
may be as much as half an inch great
er after a nights sleep than 1t is In the
evening. The color Of the iris Of the
eye and the characteristic lines made
by the print Of the finger are also re-
corded.
The following measurements are
made: The length and width of head;
thA length of the left foot and of the
middle and little fingers Of the left
hand; the stature Of the whole body,
as well as the length Of Its upper and
lower portions; the span of the out.
stretched arms; the length and breadth
of the left ear and the length Of the
left arm.
The system has been used In Paris
since 1880 and is now employed by all
important police departments in this

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
This old Time Punishment Was Costly
to the Community.

This old Time Punishment Was Costly
to the Community.
Imprisonment for debt was abolished
by congress in the United States In
1888, though this measure was not
fully enforced until 1880.
In nearly every country until com.
paratiyely recent times debtors have
been subject to Imprisonment. After
the panic OF 1926 100000 writs for debt
were issued In England. In 1880 1000
persons were sent to London prisons
for debt, and on Jan. /, 1910, LOO per-
sons were held for debt In England and
Wales, 1000 IN Ireland and less than
100 In Scotland. From time to time
notifications In the laws governing the
Imprisonment of debtors have been
made, so that fewer debtors are i'm.
rrisoned for This crime each year.
In 1920 there were 5000 debtors In
prison in Massachusetts, 10000 in New
FORK. 1000 In Pennsylvania. 5000 in
Mar lsi.i and like proportion in 9TH
or states Many of these persons were
jnilcd for debts Of 81.
The law providing for the imprlson-
ment of men who could not pay their
debts was shown to be impracticable
Ly statistics taken from Philadelphia,
where In 1928 there were 1855 debtors
imprisoned for debts amounting to $685.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.
No Other Organization Whose Aims Are Purely AItruist;c Has Made Such Gains the Past Year.

Washington. D. C., Jan. 27.-The twenty eighth annual meeting of the Board of Managers of the National Geographic society, which has total membership of more than a<third of a million. of whom S,0S2 live in the state of Connecticut, has just been held in this city. O. Fl. Tittmann. superin- tendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey was elected president, and Rear Admiral John E. Pillsbury, retired, vice e-president. The other of f1cers of the society were reelected as follows: Gilbert H. Grosvenor, di rector and editor; John Joy Edsor treasurer; O. P Austin, secretary John Oliver LaGorce associate editor Frederick 8. Eichelberger, assistal treasurer; and George W. Hutchiso assistant secretary.
 The report of the director and edito reveals the fact that no other organi zatiOn in the world whose aims are purely altruistic as are those of the National Geographic society is grow ing as rapidly as this organization, the net growth during the past year hay ing been 1O3,157.
 Founded with it's object the in- crease and diffusion of geographic knowledge,' some notable work ha been accomplished recently by the so- clety. through its various investiga- tfonS, in adding to the worlds store Of geographical information. Under its auspices and those of Yale university the Prof. Hiram Binghams' EXpedi- tlon to Peru, unearthed the famous lost Inca city. of Machu Picchu prob ably built 2,000 years ago, and has un- deTtaIen exhaustive studies of the first civilization of the New World. These studies point to a varvelous past de- Velpment in what is called the New World and what, after all, may be the home where earth's first culture cradled.
 The society has maintained an ex- petition in the field for three years in Vestgating the glaciers of Alaska, and it's report upon ice and glacia! in this primary home of great glaciers is one of the most comprehensive ever made The largest ice streams in the world outside of the polar regions, are to be found in Alaska, and the variety Of conditions under which they were studied here has given something of a picture that obtained during the ice age of the world.
 In the diffusion of geographic knowi- edge, the activities Of the society have been vaTiou and unremittsnt no ef- fort being spared in the endeavor tC bring the 'wide-World's into the homes of ali the people kaps and works Of geographical importance are constant ly Issuing rom the soCiery's press while geographic iTEor-nation gathered in all parts Of the world and investi- gations made in every land come to the society in a great mass of ma teTias which is prepared and issued for its members in Q monthly publication. Besides these branches of the society's work, great wealth of geographic information in connection with matters Of the day Of interest to the people of America is prepared and distributed, Iyhse tens Of thousands Of inquiries from I2anbels ana others upon geo. s7fanaic ana allied subjects are re- celved and answered each year.
