Proof That Finger

The finger print Is a scientific method

that prints are more permanent than
the body itself. as psychologists tell Us
that the tissues OF the entire body

for1mity with the lines OF childhood.

For the year Of the Gary study
when the chief breadwinners' earn

infant death rate was 1914 per 1000;
when the earnings were between
81 $50 and $3.50 the rate increased to

of the conditions of pioneer life, the
report states. Squatter's rights on
land might be purchased for a yearly
fee of 81 to 81 and a shack put up,
pieced together with scraps of boards
and tin cans. OF only these buildings,
but many regularly constructed
houses were without water or sewer

made to building conditions the past
