CAN HAVE FINGER
PRINTS MADE AND
NOT BE A CROOK

Everyone should have finger
prints TAKEN" according to H.
Passno, finger print expert of the
Davenport police force. who ad-
dressed members of the Dormitory
club at the Y. NJ. c. A., last evening.
Mr.. Passno explained the accl.-
acy of finger print detection and
the great help in the identification
of people. He said "the taking OF
finger prints does not mean that
the person is a crook, although
that is a prevailing idea. Many
wealthy families have finger prints
taken of their youngsters to assist
in the identification of lost kid
naped child"
1.-THE board of education should
start in at once and take the finger
prints of every pupil in the
Schools" he continued. THE rec
ord could be filed away and kept
indefinitely and in the future If any
Of them got into trouble, kidnapped
or met with sudden death they
could be readily identified through
this system"
