The pattern of a. finger print never changes
during the human life. Those found on the
finger of a newborn babe are trnCeabe on
the finger of the same person In old age,
and they will stay the same after death
and until the body is decomposed. Look
at your hand and finger tips and you see n
corrugatsd skin. These are ridges. These
ridges are filled with nerves.. bloodvesscis
and veins. Where the nerves start and
wind up In your flesh sends of an oil "a
the surface OF these ridges. These little
ridges have very fine outlets. II you had
powerful glass and could take part
of the skin from the tips Of your finger and
look at II carefully, you would see little
points sticking up.
This Is where your feeling comes IN. II
you will take a hair And draw It aeross
your finger tip. you will take notice tha,
II will catch. In order that these little
ridges Will not dry up and catch this oil OF
moisture Is supplied from what we cali
ducts"
From the above II Is plainly seen tha,
TO try to forge finger print would be
foolish. 80 no matter how many times yov
sit up at night trying to dope out some
plans of making a stamp to forge Anger
prints. IL cannot be done. Experts do moi
always give the Visible print much attention
at the scene OF crime: II Is the latent
print left by tho oil that nature Supplies
Also, IL you used ink those also have mark,
showing plainly that they are not forced OF
they are forged SO Il IL q million-to-ons
shot OF finding two finger prints alike as 1,
would be to successfully forge q finger print
and connect the innocent with q crime.

Little Discrepancy In Time

To tho Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--The solution OF the problem appearing
In today's issue OF tho EVENING PrnLio
LEDGER Is quite simple. To ask at what
time between and $40 O'Clock the hands
of the clock are at right angles Is but an
other way OF asking at what time after
o'clock the hands are fifteen minute spaces
apart II is equivalent TO asking what time
after o'clock the hands are together.
The solution:
II will be seen that the minute hand gains
on the hour hand eleven .fvo-minute spaces
In going twelve. To gain one fve-minutu
space 1t will go One-sleventh OF twelve
spaces or twelve-elcvcnth spaces, equal 10
fvo and fve-eleventh minutes: hence to gain
two flve-mlnute spaces It must go after 4
o'clock to be at right angles to the hour
hand will require ten and ten-eleventh min.
utes. In other words. at exacty ton and
ten-eloventh minutes after O'Clock tho
hands are at right angles. J. B X.

Employer VS.. EmpIoye

To tho Editor Of the Evening Public LADDER:
Sir-1 read with pleasure in your last
nights paper where the master builders had
decided to make wage cut. One valuable
article they put in their clause Ia efficiency
and usefulness In doing days work. As
laboring man myself, I wish to cay there
are too many loaferB who belong to organl-
sations; mechanics who make large wages
and are not worth the half Of II. II is not
how much they can do. but how little.
I was born on a farm up North and was
taught to be efficient and obey my superiors
Today tho mechanic who lives in largo
city like Philadelphia wants the highest
wages 30 he can have ice cream twice a day
attend the shows and enjoy all the pleasures
that are going. and puffs out his chest with
cigar In his mouth. as II he owns all the
streets in Philadelphia.
Those are the men who are proud and
lazy They get paid for eight hours work.
but only work six hours. When a laboring
man goes out TO do his shopping he goes
whore he can buy the cheapest. Just the
same as Sam 0ompers did when. his
honeymoon, he put Up at Il nonunion hotel.
where nonunion walters attended him. Why,
then. don't the mechanics come down with
their wages. az everything elso has como
down in the building line?
TOO proud to work. is the motto. Today
II IL not the high cost OF living: it IL tho
high cost of pleasure and amusement. How
can any good American mechanic stand In
his own light today and block improve
nents? Look at the army OF men in Phil.
adciphia today that arc out OF work; VINO
could be working II they only reduced their
wages. Look at the large New EnEla nd
shoe manufacturing company which advised
o cut OF 20 per cent in wages OF its em-
ployes. and thoy refused it, and II they do
accept it their wages will stil be 100 per
cent above the wages paid them before tho
war.
1t Is up to the mechanics To-Day to Try
to do. their part and try to bring around
Ecrmal times. 30 lifo will be worth
living. Try to let everybody live and stop
