WASHINGTON-Yo u1l be putting
two signatures on All your bank checks
before long.
First you'll take pen and write
your regular signature. as you do to-
day.
Then you'll place three fingers on an
ink pad You carry in your pocket and
put your finger prints over yaur sig
nature.
Any clever crook can forge that first
signature and get your money out Of
the bank But the finger prints are a
signature no one can copy.
When finger prints come into gener-
al use in banking forgery will become
Ia lost art. But they'll do more than
protect You against criminals. They'll
get your checks cashed for you in
places where you wouldn't be accom-
modated under present banking meth

When you travel In the future, you'll
carry little card bearing your finger
prints and q statement from the CASH
Ter of your home bank, indicating that
they're yours.
Any cashier or other bank employe
can learn to identify prints after
few hours study. That will be part Of
his training
Life insurance companies will take
up finger printing, too.
When a person takes out a policy,
his prints will be placed on the policy.
And when he dies his prints will be
taken again and compared with taose
in the policy.
That will save life insurance COM

spending every year now in litigation
arising from disputed identity cases.
When you register for voting in the

examinations, too, 70 prevent a man
from taking part of the examination
and letting a cleyerer man double for
him on some other part.
Passports will carry finger prints.
They're more conclusive Identification
than photographs.
And prints VIII be used on every
deed, mortgage, transfer, contract or
any other official document where
Identification Is required-even notes.

This IS to be worked out.
Japan has a treaty OF alliance with

of her colonies do not want It renewed

and allies.
How viii Italy ana France line up

say that they will look at the Pacific

outsiders; and that should make for
Justice.
Japan's desire from friends and al

American, and 1,S25,000 tons that Of

Il - pointed out BY Lloyd's Register,
however. that tho British figures
while representing contracts placed
for construction, do not represent
merely construction on which work Is
ectually proceeding. Included IN the
aggregate Of more than three and a
quarter million gross tons are more
than 100000 tons on which building
has been suspended or postponed
Suspensions amount to $4,000 tons
and postponementH to 457, 900 tons. a
total Of 1,1s8,000 tons, SO that the ac-
tive British shipbuilding program is
now 100000 tons.
This reduction Of more than a third
IN the work under way is due to gem
Rral depression In shipping, and is re-
Elected in the returns from other coun-
tries, the total suspensions outside the
United Kingdom being reported as
$4,000 tons, OF about 10 per cent Of
the total, Italy ana the United States
being chiefly affected.
That further declines IN the amount
Of work on hand may be looked for is
indicated BY the marked discrepancy
between the tonnage being turned out
and the now construction begun. IN
Great Britain. for instance, during the
past three months, while 100000 tons
Of shipping were launched, work was
commenced on only $4,000 tons. This
IS Ia sharp contract with the returns
iseued BY Lloyd's Register at the be-
ginning OF this year. which showed
new construction amounting to $4,000
ions. in comparison with launchings
Of $4,000 tons.
Returns Of vessels actually building
throughout the world under the su-
pervision Of Lloyd's Register and In
tended to be classed with that society
show an aggregate Of 3,Ts5,5b0 tons, If
which 2,678,T63 tons are being built
