wear children attaining six years,
could be finger-printed on a fixed
date.
Patterns Never Change
Mr.. Bennett says that this age linn
it is not set because of any change
in prints due to growth. Ar individ-
ual's finger print patterns do nJt
change from birth to death, except
to become larger. A baby four weeks
old can be finger printed, Mr.. Beh-
nett explains though it is difficult to
keep the fingers uncurled sufficiently
to make a clear print, and the ridges
are SO fine that they are not easy to
analyze. For a permanent record
therefore. it is considered advisable
to wait until the sixth year.
Each print record placed on file
in National, State and local bureaus
would show the name and address
and next of kin Of the individual
If he changed his address, or if tin
next of kin died or left the country
the local bureau would expect to be
notified of changes to be made or,
the three records. The efficiency of
the system would thus depend to
some extent on the cooperation of
the public in keeping the record cor
rect.
The argument has been presented
that such a system would be ex-
pensive and that cities would not
regularly go to the trouble of iden.i-
flying the human mysteries and noti
flying the proper friends or rela-
tives.
Mr.. Bennett says that cities al
ready go to a great deal of trouble
and expense in such cases, and that
municipal authorities would welcome
the establishment Of a system to help
them, especially since 1t would mean
a saving in other directions. To keep
a man suffering from paralysis in the
city hospital until friends claim hiI3
or his people can be found is expel-
sive. To bury a mysterious body III
the potter's field costs $25 or $50.
To send a telegram to a mans next
of kin in a nearby city would cost
perhaps less than a dollar and the
city would be glad to be relieved CT
its responsibility so readily. Cities
do not often dispose of a human
mystery carelessly. because it is a.
ways to their advantage to solve the
puzzle. In burying an unidentified

troublesome criminal or a missing
| heir. and the search for that pers IN
might go on needlessly for years. Yet
in spite of Investigations and wida-
iy advertised inquiries 4 0.000 suca
bodies are buried each a
Identifying persons who are for
! some reason unable to prove who
they are is the most obvious use of
| the proposed finger print bureau.
Other uses would undoubtedly be
found once the system was estab-
lished. An imposter would find it
| difficult to keep up his bluff once he
was suspected. To refuse to show
official finger print proof OF his iden-
| tity would be to invite suspicion, ard
| sooner or later his prints would be
| obtained by some use and checked
up officially.
Claimants for the fortunes of Ions
| missing heirs could be made to prove
| their claims by the finger print rec
ords. Insurance cases could be set
| tied by reference to the official f'es.
| That is, for instance. if an insured
man were killed in an accident ard
his widow were put to the necessity
of proving that the dead man was
indeed her husband in order to draw
his insurance, finger prints might be
utilized.

FINGER PRINT
SYSTEM DESCRIBED
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

country.
Every citizen liable to military
service in Argentina is finger printed
at the age of IS. Women are not
compelled to have their prints taken,
but many do so for their W protec-
ton and convenience. The head OF
the Argentine system says that cus-
toms and institutions of his country
make it almost necessary for a resi-
dent to carry some sort or q
tials, and the finger print has be-
come a standard of Identification
there.
If the system is ever introduced
into the United States it will PROB
ably have to be on a more definite
basis. To start the system, finger
prints would have to be taken Just
as the census is. After that, each
year children attaining six years
could be finger-printed on a fixed
date .. E F
