Yesterdays Mystery Solution

"MosT people think there are only y,
1h two methods of identification,
,oid Harvey Hunt, explaining to De-
Kyne how he recognized Peter Mantz
IN the case Of ''By His Ear"
1.-THE laymap recognizes his friends.
scousintnures and even the members Of
his family by their general appearance.
That Is to say, in the ordinary rela-
tions Of life we identify one another by
n ulck. general glnncc at the entire
countenancc. even more by expression
tban by any definite relationship Of the
features.
'Then the layman is quite generally
sware. in police and other work where
absolute legal identification is required.
that the finger print. as classified and
studied under the Bertillon system, Is
nositive proof of identity. that no two
fngers in the world give exactly the
same combination of lines and whOrlS
rhpn the imprint of them Is taken.
"But "A detective cannot always run
srouDd demanding that people give him
,beir finger prints. There are situa-
tioos in which it would prove very
cmbarrassing to the detective.
"IIpncc there is another system Of
sdentiGcation, among several, to tell the
,ruth which has been worked out in the
RSftiilon system. It's the study Of the
sonyolutions of the ear. Just as no two
normal finger prints are alike, the
conyolutions of no two normal ears
sre nike. It has the advantage that no
imprint is required. Once let detec
live get good look at your ear, old
dear. and though you change your ex-
nression and every other feature OF
Your face. he'll recognize you when he
sees you again.
