 Victims of amnesia, hundreds of the more than 6o.000 unknown per sons buried every year and crim- inals of all descriptions--all are be- ling successfully identified. the report declares, through use of the highly developed fngerprint system.
 Many men with criminal records, the report discloscs, appear at morgues and give their own names to unidentified bodies in order to continue unhampered their criminal practices, while the word dead" is stamped on their records Of the bu-

NEW METHOD FOR
 BUILDING HOMES
Steel and Concrete May Be
 Found Useful

Detroit, Mich, June sj.--(P-- Steel and concrete. generally associ- oted with skyscrapers and office structures, hayo entered the realm of possibility as building materials in the construction of small homes and should be given consideration, said Henry k. Brigham. of Boston, speaking today before the National Association of Real Estate Boards in convention hero.
 "One of our natural handicaps in new inventions is to get away from precedent" he declared. Architects and builders cling 10 old designs and find 1t difficult 10 use unfamiliar de- signs required for new materials Concrete and steel offer distinct op- rortunities in home building, both in design and attractiveness."
 Declaring it is false economy to produce shoddy houses or houses of poorer construction than appears on the surface, unless for some recogn- ized temporary use, Mr. Brigham said:
 Tt is far better to have the floor ioists unnecessarily braced and un- necessarily larger that to have the floors sag, the walls and ceilings crack and the doors jam after two or three years. The builder may have sold his house and obtained his profit, but the purchaser finds that his house is not so good as 1t looked and the reputation of Its builder, and of builders in general, is injured. Although such injuries are so insidious that builders may not be conscious of the extent, nev- crtheless each injury of this kind makes it harder to sell the next house at profit"

 Women write us, too, how wonderful Rinso is for general household clean ing. They use it for dishes, pots and pans, bathtubs, basins, linoleums, floors and woodwork. It makes your cloths and mops so soapy that dirt and grease just melt away without any hard securing.
 Because it dissolves completely, there is nothing harsh to mar smooth surfaces or dim the freshness of paint and colors. Keeping all these things bright and new.looking is made easier and pleasanter.
 *For the best results: For washing clothes dissolve Rinso in boiling water to set all its wonderful cleansing power free. Use enough to get creamy lasting suds. For household uses just sprinkle it right on. Lever Bros O., Cambridge, Mass,
