HASKIN TELLS ABOUT A LIBRARY
THAT is DEVOTED TO CRIME

a man believed to be dead actually
still lived. A finger print had been
discovered on the collar OF a MUIR
dered man. The print was forward
ed to the library and, to the aston
ishinent of the officials, It was rec
ognized as the print of u notorious
criminal who was supposed to have
been dead for some time. BY means
of this Identification, the officers
succeeded in apprehending the
man and convieting him or the mur-
der. So far as the records showed
the victim had been murdered by a
a dead man. 1t seems that there
had been some combination of cir
cnmstances which gave the police
reason to believe that the murderer
had met death some time ago.
Realizing the advantage of general
belief of such a report, the criminal
did not deny 1t. 1t acted as a cloak
for him until the finger print iden-
tiication system brought him to
life again, for police purposes and
the ends OF justice.
Another recent highly interesting
case was hat of a man arrested for
robbery in Illinois. The suspect was
positively identified by eye witnesses
as guilty of the crime. The circum-
stantial evidence was very black
against him. But the robbet had
left a t~ell-tale finger print and that
Of the a who was declared by the
victim to be the robber did not
correspond with 1t at all. The
search continued while the suspect
was held and subsequently, the real
robber was apprehended. The fin
ger print system had saved the in
nocent mar and apprehended the
guilty one.
1t is a ~favorite resort of clever
criminals to file the ends of their
fingers so as to remov the tiny
corrugations which produce the dis
tinctive finger prints. But even this
is not a sure method as there are so
many markings, not only on the nm
ger tips, but on other parts OF the
hands, that a tell-tale print is al
nos certain TO be left at the scene
of every crime.
Another aid in apprehending
criminals which Is being used by the
Department of Justice 10 the radio.
In cooperation with local police Of
ficers, a system is being worked out
whereby reports of crimes and de-
scriptions of criminals will be
broadcast to all police stations OF
the world and the general pub
lie. With his description and hints
as to his whereabouts coming
through the air frequently. the
criminal will have little chance 70
escape. This system already is
working and the bureau has an
amusing record of its use. A youth
procured an expensive radio outfit
without payment on the preteXt
that he was obtaining It FOR a school
and that the school would make
payment. This was not true but
the radio outftter had no record
of the young mans address. An
announcement of his crime and a
careful description of his personal
appearance were broadcast by radio
| and 1t seems the stolen set was In
o~peration and transmitted the mes
sage to the ~overzealous radio fan
while he was demonstrating his set
to A group OF admiring callers. His
parents settled the account.

@. What city has the greatest
number of art treasures ?-L.H.F.

ence, many Of them being native
Florentines and the city has many

Q. Are gold dollars and two-and-
a-half gold pieces still coined?-
FIG.
A. The coinage of the gold dol
lar was discontinued in 1887, but the
two-and-a-half dollar pieces are still
being coined.
@. Are grapefruits sold in Eng
land ?-R.H.D.
A. The Department Of Commerce
says that grapefruit is becoming
more and more popular in England,
and can be obtained in almost
all English cities.
@. How often does the Aurora
Borealis appear and to what dis
lance south a 1t be seen?-L.B.
A. The frequency of the Aurora
Borealis veries with the latitude of
the place. 1t is comparatively rare
within 45 degrees Of the equator, but
more frequently towards the north,
up to the latitude of about 60 degrees
where it sometimes becomes almost
a nightly occurrence. The Aurora
Is less frequent near the poles.
Q. Why is a goat always assoc
ciated with lodge initiations?-
V.M.M.
A. The association of the goat
with lodge limitations Is a result of
superstitions originating largely in
the Middle Ages. There was, in 1910
a society or the continent known as
1.-THE Goats" They used a goat in
nnenti with their initiations- and
wore imitation goat faces. AS their
meetings were yelled in secrecy the
ignorant populace believed them to
be in league with the Devil. Since
Masonic limitations are also held

THE REFEREE
Losers?
(By Albert AppIe)

Losers?
London bankers claim that the
average Englishman recently has
been paying about fifty times as
much taxes as the average German.
They reckon this on the basis of tax
returns in June, latest month for
which complete statistics are avail
able for both countries. The 1gur-
Ing is in terms Of gold-value money.
It's a good thing for the rest OF
the world that the men who engi-
neered the collapse of the mark
weren't on the German general staff
during the war. . . Or were they ?
J. Harems
Polygamy was made unlawful in
Turkey about a year ago. Now
comes the reaction, a powerful
movement to restore the harem to
Its former legal status.
Laws have little to do with such
things. The waning of the harem
was caused by the war making It
difficult for the Turk to support
more than one wife.
Voltaire vas wrong when he
claimed that morals are a matter of
climate. Truth is, morals are a mat
ter of economic conditions.
Moo
The dairy COW is the greatest man
u~facturing plant in the world, claims
John M. Kelly, addressing Wisconsin
farmers.
We're inclined to agree with him.
America could do without steel or
autos or coal, in a pinch. But we'd
quickly find ourselves In a desperate
corner If deprived OF our source of
milk-not to mention butter, cheese
and beef. Cow, we salute you.
Jews
In the United States are $500, 900
Jews. And 1,643,0 900 of them live in
New York City. This gives New
York a larger Jewish population
than any other city in the world.
Warsaw is second, with 100000,
Vienna third with 300,0 600 Jews.
Now, 5000, 900 Is not a large num-
Der in a population as enormous as
Americas, yet there are more Jews
In America than in any other coun-
try. The worlds total Jewish popu-
lation is not more than 16, 5000, 900.
The Jews are outnumbered over 100
to /, but they are a powerful people.
Their power Is the result of con-
turtles of oppression. Obstacles de-
velop strength.
Homes
Americans have far more sensible
and convenient homes than the peo-
pie of any other country. SO de-
cides a San Francisco woman after
an extensive tour of the world.
This Is q more valuable asset to
our nation than leadership in pro-
duction of coal, manufacture OF
autos, and the like. The home is
nine-tenths of any civilization, ex-
cept to paranoiacs and black sheep.
Burning
Half the unmined coal in the
world. lies underground in our coun-
try. Such is the latest estimate by
biologists. Our reserve of unmined
coal is sufficient to last us over 1000
years at the rate we are now using
It.
In view of this enormous avail
able supply, it is downright ridlcu-
lous that we yer have fuel short
ages or high-priced coal. It's a case
Of nature being too liberal to us.

Greatest Of all thrills, to a child, is to explore a cave. Art
