Finger Print System Being

Uptodate Index.
BY b. b. CADDLE.

Finger prints Will be used in il
dexing criminals arrested by the FL
Paso police department and detectives
will be taught this system 10 obtain
clues of law breakers. Chief of po-
lice B. J. Zabriskie has installed this
system, which is being carefully stud
led by detectives and members OF the
police department. Through finger
prints the chief expects to add mate
rally TO the efficiency of the depart
ment in running down criminals.
When chief Zabriskie was touring
the east several weeks ago he made 8
special study Of the finger print sys-
tenn as used by the police departments
in Chicago, Cleveland, New York,
Boston and other cities From the
Chicago department he obtained a
complete system Of recording finger
prints, which has been installed here
Stanley Good, 1r. secretary TO the
chief, has been placed in charge OF
the system and is teaching the detec-
tiyes and police the various phases
of this ancient Identification method
Banks Here First Use Prints.
The finger print system was first
Used by several local banking insti-
tutions three years ago and has
proved very satisfactory. MeXicans.
indians and others unable to read or
write English who have accounts in
these banks are identified through
finger prints. By this method the
cashiers of the institutions make no
mistakes in handling the accounts.
Finger prints were used by many of
the larger banks of the east years ago.
Looking back over the pages Of his
tory the origin Of the finger print sys-
TEN is traced to the Chinese, the first
discoverers Of many useful things
Finger prints were used in the orient
centuries ago The modern use was
first systematized by Sir Francis CAL

method ages ago by Chinese, japanese
and Tibetans, according to B. Laufer.

very successful in the police depart

STAND AGAINST OPEN
PROSTITUTION IS ENDORSED

Following was unanimously adopt
ed by the members and friends of the
Austin Park Christian church, Sun
day morning.
Resolved. that while we are con-
scious OF the fact that prostitution
and kindred evils cannot be wholly
abolished by law, any more than theft
and murder can be, yet We are equal
y conscious OF the fact that neither
Of these evils can be sanctioned by
law without discriminating the law
makers We. therefore, believe that
orr law makers did right in placing
prostitution under the ban of civil
law, even as God has placed it under
the ban Of spiritual law, and we hail
with delight the recently published

OF that law within the city of Ell Paso.

OF COAL, IRON AND STEEL

Washington, D. C., June 26.-Exten-
sion of government control and price
fixing TO coal, iron and steel and
other raw materials during the war
was considered today by the senate
interstate commerce commission. Coal
was the first subject taken up, with
Ohio and Pittsburg operators as first
witnesses
A speedy inquiry was planned by
the committee with the view to pro-
posing amendments to the food con-
troll bill for federal regulation for
basic commodities.
Bills by senator Pomerene and Cum
Minis to have the government fix
prices Of coal and railroad supplies
were the immediate proposals before
the committees but its Investigation
promised a much broader scope.

GIRLS TEACH
WAR ECONOMY
Sixty Texas Uni. Girls Are
Making Home Eco
Monies Camaign.

Austin, Texas. June 26.-Since the
declaration Of war against Germany
the demands upon the school of home
economics of the University Of Texas
have more than doubled. The depart
ment of agriculture, through its state
agent, Clarence Ousley, called upon
the school Of home economics to as
sist in organizing the women of Texas
to do their share in the national
movement for food conservation.
60 GirIe Given Emergency Course.
Sixty girls were given an intensive
emergency course in the preservation
of perishable products and in meat
and wheat flour substitutes, ana
pledged their services to the state
for the summer months to teach these
methods throughout the state. They
are now actively engaged in field
work Emergency courses were also
given in dietics, large quantity cook
cry and emergency bandages and hos
pital garments with the end in view
of preparing the girls TO teacn TINS
work in their own communities.
More demands have come to the fac
ulty and the extension workers in
home welfare for lectures and short
courses on matters pertaining to food
than they could possibly meet The
demand for literature on this subject
has been Tar beyond the capacity of
the school to supply.
Balanced diets, special dietaries,
preservation OF foods, wheat and meat
substitutes, the nutritive value and
wholesomeness of specific food pro-
ducts are among the most important
subjects upon which information is
demanded.
Since September, 1916, $4,000 home
economics bulletins have been sent
throughout the state by request. De-
mands for many more have been re-
ceived, but the university has been
unable to supply them on account of
many Of the bulletins not having been
reprinted, owing to shortage OF funds.
Cotton seed Flour Tried.

flour which has been conducted by the
school for the past two years and
half. and the publication of the results
Of this research have created a conf
dence in the use of this important

onstrated. 1t is evident there are
two views of the press among in
fuential members of the administra-
ton: one regards it as valued aid,
coadjutor, to be taken into the con-
fdence of the government; the other
believes it a menace, assuperfluity in
war times, to be dealt with in auto
cratic fashion.
The newspapers can not be blamed
if they undertake to oppose the latter
group. They know they are not a
menace" they know they are the
indispensable medium of communica-
tion between the Federal government
and the people, and that abridgement
of their right to discuss--and. if
necessary, to criticise-the conduct
of foreign war would prove intol-
cradle to free people. AS to mill
tary and naval information, the rea-
soned. responsible judgment of the
high officials of the army and navy
will be accepted without question by
the press on this matter. This is
entirely apart from exceptions it
might take to the judgment of some
understrapper of the State or Navy
departments whose qualifications for
his task of censorship are not ap-
parent to the naked eye.

More About Censorship.

There is one nightmare which
pursues sorely harried managing
editors now that they will be chain
ed down by radical. unreasoning
censorship.
Collaterally, the naval and mill
tary establishments of the govern
ment are harried by the fear that the
newspapers will not be tied or re-
stricted sufficiently by the regula-
tions they have promulgated.
No newspaper could be more
strongly in favor of censorship which
ruthlessly suppresses all information
which may be of value to "the
enemy" than the Washington Herald.
But there is well-grounded suspi-
cion in newspaper circles that CEN
sorship will be carried to an arbi-
trary and unreasonable extreme if
Ecertain bureaucratic radicals are per-
mitted to have their way.

press can not be called into ques.

American Gold in War.

Washington is turning its thought
to the great, the immedi4se world
problem-the quickest, s~rest means
Of crushing the war j ,gernaut of
Germany.
A hrst-class power could not long
be content with the role to which the
United States at first seemed to be as
signed, the role of conducting a linn
tied liability warfare on Prussian-
ism, negative, partial, and purely de-
fensive. 1t was inevitable that Ameri-
can craftsmanship would cast aside
such program. War on German
submarines means war on Germany,
and this issue must be faced in the
near future, if not now.
On this basis the administration is
cons'd' i-T how best to aid the ma
riuI- es- in death grapple with
the i luton. Our first and most OBJ
vious weapon is gold. To the en-
tente it is more welcome than Ameri-
can armies, more welcome than
American Dreadnoughts. Gold is the
fuel of the war machine, and the
United States has unlimited reserves
of it Lloyd George said in the first
moth of the war that the last hun
red r1illion of silver bullets" would
%in the conflict. A war of nations
transcends military strategy and the
force of arms; it is war of resources,
and the United States is incompar-
ably rich in resources.
The Federal Reserve Board points
out that our loans to foreign govern
ments are less than per cent of our
total banking resources, and that such
loans can be indefinitely extended
without strain upon our financial re-
sources. Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo is perhaps the most aggress-
i've, the most daring member of the
Cabinet, and is in favor of dealing
with the present situation without
dalliance. The trend of his thought
may be OWNED. He knows what
money means to the allies; knows
how much of 1t we can loan, or give,
for that matter
For the United States to hit Ger
many body blow is simple matter.
There is both sentiment and practi-
cality in the proposal to give 81 ooo. =
100000 outright to France. To loan
billions to Britain is our first, our
easiest weapon, and it would have a
tremendous moral effect. in Germany,
whose domestic war loans are becom-
ing more and more frequent, and
evoking less and less response from
her sorely pressed people.
The Treasury is really our first line
of defense and our first weapon of
aggression.

Show Your Patriotism.

Washington's patriotic rally which
is scheduled to be held on Saturday
promises to eclipse anything of a
similar nature that has been. held in
the country. Organizations of all
kinds have pledged their attendance
and their services toward organizing
the affair on such a scale that it will
excel all previous displays of patriot
ism.
According to present plans there
will be no attempt at artistic pag-
eantry but the very spontaneity of the
affair will lend it distinction. There
will be meeting this afternoon of
the executive committee when details
of the celebration will be discussed
and rushed to completion. Because
of the short time in which to prepare,
hustle will be the byword of those
actively interested. .
There is no closed list of entrants.
Everyone is invited to come out on
this occasion and show his or her
patriotism and also to show that
Washington comes first where love
of country is concerned. Every or
ganization that can command attend
ance and music that will lend color
to the rally, should get in touch with
the committee at once that they may
be listed as participants.
If you do not belong to an organi-
zation join the throng Saturday as a
citizen, carry an American flag and
lend your voice to the cheers that
will greet Old Glory and the spirit of
our country.
Washington has never been lax in
the past, and now when every large
city in the country is holding monster
meetings in the form of patriotic ral-
lies, it behooves everyone to give un-
stinted support to this celebration
which will be remembered many years
after the incidents have become his
tory. Every agency that will tend to
further the success of the demonstra-
ton, should volunteer its service at
once.
