Several theories have been advanced
to explain the corrugations of fingers,
palms and soles. but the most plausible
one Is that expressed by the term .fric-
tion skins" given by Mrs. Harris H.
Wilder. Not only man, but all the mon
keys and apes have such ridges ON the
skin Of the grasping part Of their hands
and feet. And, strangely enough, the
American opossums and tree porcu-
pines, Australian phalangers and South
American monkeys have just such cor
rugations ON their tails.
The openings Of the ducts Of the
sweat glands are along the tops Of the
ridges. They supply the slight moisture
that Is necessary to proper grasping
The Journal Of Heredity, in a long
study Of hand and foot prints. remarks
that a man instinctiyely moistens the
palms Of his hands when he wishes to
grasp securely.
The pattern Of finger prints is gen.
erasly hereditary, but every individual
develops his own details.

Intention to Commit
Overt Act Is Apparent

But while this is happily true, it
must be admitted that there have been
certain additional indications and eX-
pressons of purpose on the part Of the
German press and the German authori-
ties which have increased rather than
lessened the impression that if our
ships and our people are spared 1T
will be because Of fortunate circum-
stances or because the commanders
of the German submarines which they
may happen to encounter exercise an
unexpected discretion and restraint,
rather than because Of the instructions
under which those commanders are
acting.
II would be foolish to deny that the
situation is fraught with the gravest
possibilities and dangers. No thought
full man can fail to see that the neces-
sity for definite action may come at
any time, il we are in fact, and not in
word merely, 70 defend our elementary
rights as neutral nation. II would be
most imprudent TO be unprepared.
