Finger printing of persons who
seek to buy revolvers is advocated
by Detective Sergt. Fred Sandberg.
Bertillon expert of the police de-
partment as an effective means of
keeping weapons out Of the hands
of known criminals.
IF we are going to have a sys-

chase a gun" said the detective,
"it would be good idea to put the
applicants finger prints on the ap-
plication. Then, IL the man has n
criminal record we can find it out
whether he gives his right name or
not"
Sandberg also advocates the
keeping OF a police whistle in
every home. AS a rule, he said. a
thief will depart instantly at the
sound Of that shrill whistle known
to every policeman whereas If the
dweller attempts to pursue. the
burglar with gun injury or
death is likely to result.
