TEACHES SYSTEM
FOR TRACING CARS
New York Police Sergeant Called
Professor Of Automobile
Identification.
AS IF A BERTILL0N SYSTEM

"A Applying sort OF Bertillon sys-
TEN to motor cars by which clever
police. officers can pounce upon a
stolen machine whirling by among
II thousands Of others, is the very lat
est in the line OF Identification Of
4 automobiles. ..,. g.. -. ......
y Prescott Lecky, writing in Motor
Print, quotes Sergeant John Brennan,
who has been dubbed professor of
automobile Identification at police
headquarters in New York City.
Sergeant Brennan, as interviewed
and quoted by Mr., Lecky, tells his
story as follows:
As Distinctive a. Men.
you wouldn't believe how many
owners there are who never looked
their own machines in the face, yet
every make is just as distinct as one
K man from another. teach the traffic
men the features OF the various ma
chimes, and they learn to recognize
each car by its human characteristics.
In this way an unframed man gets a
basis to work on right away. He ap-
plies his knowledge OF men to the
study OF automobiles. Even i . man
Is naturally observant he needs to be
trained to look for what he wants to
find

cf the patrolnien told me that ne did
not realize how different people were
before. He actually knew more about
his friends on the chart than he did
about his friends on the streetT
According to Mr.. Lecky, moreover,
cars have not only faces, but indiyid-
nal profiles also, and distinctive rears.
AZ OF which appear on the sergeant's s
charts and are made familiar to the
4 class. In the execution Of their du-
ties the patrolman and detective find
this knowledge OF high importance.

VISIT FROM A STATE OFFICER
Superintendent Cary Speaks Before
the Board of Supervisors

Superintendent Cary, head of the
educational forces of the state, by in
yitation spoke before the county board
on Wednesday, after paying a visit to
the high school and conuTy normal.
His talk was primarily on the theme
of county training schools and their
work. He expressed the firm belief
that these schools are doing more for
the common and grades schools than
any other branch of teaching They
should be encouraged, He said our
normal would be of much more avail
if enlarged quarters and more extern
sive equipment were possible. Itcan't
accommodate more than half of those
who desire TO attend. Mr.. Cary hoped
the requirement would not be long de-
layed by our county.
As preliminary TO that end the
board provided for committee 10 in
vestigate conditions and report at the
next annual session. Chairman Car
ter appointed as such committee SUI
