a person = nature can. to n GER
tain degree, be ascertained by his fin
gerprints, and when child Is born the
possibility of his committing criminal
offenses when older can be ascertained
by the same method, in the opinion of
John Klein, fingerprint expert at City
Mr.. Klein gave further opinions on
the theory Of Prof. Heinrich Pohl, the
Berlin fingerprint authority, who goes
so far as to say that a PERSONS des-
tiny is clearly marked on the tips Of
the fingers.
Prof. pohl declares that with
further study Of fingerprints an insane
person, or the possibility Of one be-
coming insane, can be clearly defined
Prof. Pohl. who has studied thou
sands Of finger tips, also asserts that
racial differences and many other
curious facts can be brought out BY
study along this line.
Klein said:
I'VE have more than 10000 photo
graphs OF tingerprints in City Hall, and,
in studying more than half of them
l have noticed one distinct factor that
goes toward showing Il PERSONS char
actcr. 1t is this:
Look Mt Yours
:, There are two extreme kinds of
lines on ones fingertips, the 'Shorl'
and the loop or arch The 'whorl.
circular in shape, denotes an excitable
temperament, while the loop or arch
denotes the opposite--a cool or non :
combatablc temperament.
"Of course, there are many varia =
tons of these two extremes. such as
the accidental line, which is a com .
bination of both. Then there are other
lines, such as the Irvine loop cen :
tral pocket and lateral pocket.' but
the clearest observations are gained
from the extreme lines.
Looking back over my records, I
have found that if man has pos
sesscd more whorls than loops or
arches he has usually committed a
daring crime, such as hold-up or
murder. Persons possessing the whorls
on their fingertips are of very com

batable nature and are, of course
capable Of doing rash things.
Many Criminals Eliminate
"On the other hand" continued Mr.
Klein, eve find that persons who have
been arrested for crimes that do not
require daring act have invariably
possessed more loops or arches than
whorls. Women. for instance, as n
rule do not commit such daring crimes
as men, and only small percentage
loops.
81 have also noticed that many men.
although =, criminals, have n 'lady-like
manner about them. Their fngcrtips,
7 have noticed, read almost like q
woman's, and these men usually were
taken by the law for offenseS that
could be committed without much
courage.
"Pickpockets as a rule do not pos
sess daring personalities. They usual
ly use more skill than daring. This
class usually possesses n tinserprint
similar to q woman's.
Future Revealed
'From these observations I think it
is possible to ascertain the future
nature of person when he or she
is only an infant. Fingerprints remain
:he same from birth to death. If a
child is found to possess many whorls
you can bank on the fact that the
child will grow up into an eXcitablc
person, and, If necessary, be combat
able.
'If we were to take a child pos
scssing many whorls OH his tingcrtips
and put him into n refined household
A.. 80 .l,I. ~
cooler nature we would soon notice the
difference. 1t would be much harder
to keep the stranger down than to
keep the refined children from doing
mischievous acts. And when the child
finally natures this nature Is more
nronounced than ever"
Concluding, Mr.. Klein declared that
with further study along the almost
rnworked field Of tingerprints he thinks
it not improbable that we will be able
to detect future insanity.

BATTLING SKI TO MEET JOE BECKETT
By Associated Press

Paris, October 15.-Battling SKI, Senegalese conqueror of Georges Car pentier. will meet Joe Beckett, Eng fish heavyweight. in 8 20-round bat tie for the heavyweight championship of Europe, In London. November 23. This was decided today when Maj. A. J. Wilson. English promoter, obtained the signatures of M. Hellers. Skis manager, and SikI to a contract under which Siki will receive 4.65o pounds. --H
 Ski returned to Paris from Hol- land this morning. The difficulties which had threatened to separate the manager and the fighter had been smoothed over by an announcement that the French Boxing federation was inaugurating an inquiry as to why Siki obtained only 75,00o francs as his share in the purse for fighting Carpentier, when the winners end was advertised as 100000 francs.
 Ski has signed contract with Hellers. who is to look after his af- fairs until May 30, 1928. Hellers. not. having heard definitely from Tex Rickard as to a fight for his charge in the United States, decided to &C., cept the offer for a bout with Beck cit, who last week defeated Frank Moran, American heavyweight. in seven rounds.
 Ski Is bubbling over. with confi- dence in his ability to defeat Beck ett. He said that hereafter he would eschew his erstwhile favorite tipple, absinthe.
 He does not conceal his lack of de- sire to meet Harry Wills. or Kid Nor folk, American negro battlers, but, through Hellers. he has expressed wish that my coming victory over Beckett shall be considered sufficient qualification to meet Jack Dempsey"

BUTLER HIGH ELEVEN
 DEFEATS RED LEVEL

Greenville, october 15.-(Special.)- The Butler High triumphed over tho Red Level high on the local field Fri day by score of 21 to '. Both teams were in form and the battle was very interesting and exciting to the hun dreds of fans who witnessed the fracas.
 Buffers first touchdown came in the second quarter, when Ray got aloose around end for an so-yard dash for a touchdown. Baby" Sta bier kicked goal.
 The second touchdown came few minutes later when Pope, the locals husky fullback, bucked the Red Level line six consecutive times for IS yards and touchdown. Baby" Stabler kicked the goal again.

 Terry, the big fullback and his teammate, Powell, starred for the the visitors. Powell intercepted two of Greenyille's forward passes.
