WANTS FINGER PRINTS
OF BABIES At BIRTH
NEW YORK DETECTIVE CHIEF
THINKS SYSTEM WOULD PRE-
VENT FOUNDLlNGS.

New York, March SIN order to
ascertain positively the identity of g.
enid, Inspector Faurot, head of the
detective bureau, thinks Impressions
OF the fingers of both mother and
child should be made at the time of
the child's birth. Inspector Faurot
when asked about this said:
The idea of making fingerprint i'm
pressions of mother and child as soon
as the child is born has received a
good deal Of consideration the last
two years. 1t is only one feature of
the finserprint system but it is an
important one While have not
made any specific recommendation
to any state or federal board that
such a system be adopted, have
often spoken in its behalf.
The benefits derived from such
measure would be almost infinite. The
system should be used in all large pub
lie and private institutions, especial
ly hospitals.

tween the time of her confinement and
the time when she is strong enough to
receive tho child, time that is often
raught with grave fears, will be given
her own child No one. of course,
knows how often through mistakes
md carelessness the mother is given
the wrong child, but it is safe to say
such mistakes occur only too often.
The system will also tend TO do
away with the founding. The identity
of child's mother could easily be
traced and conditions investigated and
perhaps improved. The fingerprints of

be so active In the future. or at any rate
