FINGER-PRINT PLAN
EXTENSION URGED
New Identification System Permits
Transmission Over Tele-
graph Wires

The Joergensen finger-print index
system, which will be supplemental to
and more positive than the Henry sys-
tenn of finger-print identification now
in effect among police department
identification bureaus throughout the
country, is being used by the office of
Fred Sanberg, in charge of the local
police identification work.
1t is expected that before the eX-
piration of this year many other large
cities will establish this system, which
viii allow positive telegraphic iden-
tincation of criminals.
For instance, under the present
Henry system a general classification
can be obtained. but five or six prints
may come under this classification
positive identification being possible
only by closer study of each print
The Henry system is not feasible for
telegraphic identification, according to
SandberC, whereas the Joergensen
system, which embraces many more
details than the other, giving a num-
Der to each little ridge and loop of
identification by telegraph.
In order to be really useful. how
ever the entire country will have to
adopt the system, so that police in
one place may telegraph to those in
another in a code language which
both understand. This is the last
step in the installation of the sys-
tem-universal adoption - which is
now being worked out satisfactorily,
Sandberg said.

Pan-AmeriCan Union Pays
Tribute to Nation Now
Independent.

Uruguay will celebrate its Tooth an

ton Tuesday.
This South American republic,
which followed the United States in
its struggle for freedom, was estab-
lished i'll 1925, after 10 years of mo-
mentous strife. Its movement for in
dependence was started by group of
great patriots headed by Senior Arti-
gas, a man who never abandoned his
purpose or lost faith in its accom-
plishment.
Tribute to Founders.
A tribute to the founders of the re-
public was made yesterday by Of
ficials Of the Pan-American Union.
here. They said, in part:
The temporary defeats that marked
the early struggles did not in any
sense represent wasted effort. but were
preliminary chapters that led up to
the final Consummation of the great
crusade Of the "33" immortal patriots,
led by LaTalleia.
When, after the Declaration of In
dependence in the Assembly of La
Florida, this small group undertook
the hnal campaign for independence,
the outlook was indeed dark and their

Ihey never for a moment fiinched but
brought to a crowning success the
movement begun in 1910.
Poverty Is Unknown.
The courage, the individuality, and
the depth of conviction which
characterized the founders of the
Republic of Uruguay have had deep
and far-reaching influence on the
thought and character of the nation.
Ever mindful of her rights as an
Independent nation, and always ready
TO fulfill her obligations. the people
of Uruguay may we'll be proud of the
splendid record of the century. With
a homogeneous population, with a
vigorous and industrious people, and
with poverty practically unknown
Uruguay presents an example to the
world Of which her people may we'll
be proud.

SCIENTIST RETURNS
WITH RARE FINDS
Three Great UndeveIoped
Regions Explored by Dr..

By Science Service.

By Science Service.
Ending a six-month survey of sites
connected with mans origin and evol-.
ution in India, CeylOn. Java, Australia
and South Africa. DIR. Ales Hrdlicka,
curator of physical anthropology of
the United States National Museum,
has returned here with a remarkable
collection of evidence which reveals
three great regions as undeveloped
gold mines" for scientic research
These regions which show such
amazing richness in fossil remains,
and in which work Is now practically
at a standstill. Dr. Hrdlicka declared,
the Siwalik Hills of India, the Solo
River Valley Of Java and the Taungs-
Broken Hill country in South Africa.
Big Ape Remains.
In the Siwalik Hills, which extend
for hundreds of miles from Cashmir
nearly to Burma. he found that five or
six species Of fossil big apes have been
discovered, two or three of which have
not yet been described by scientists
These ape remaing are from different
geological horizons in this single range
of Himalayan foot hills, and the sur
face has hardly been scratched.
In the valley of the Solo River,
where the famous Pithecanthropus
erectus or Java ape-man's remains
were discovered in 1891, DR.. Hrdlicka
found another rich but neglected
region. Old and well preserved fossils
are still frequently washed out by the
river, and natives sometimes find and
sell these. but there is ne scientist
there to collect them. PitheCdnthropus
could not have existed alone. He
must have had predecessors and pos.
sibly progeny whose remains may be
revealed by systematic study Of the
region. DR.. Hrdlicka claimed
Another region Offering immense
possibilities in throwing light upon the
origin of man, is at Taungs and, in
the Broken Hill country of South
Africa. DIR. Hrdlicka found two
