JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Mar. 12.- Data on state parks in the south and plans of various states for develop ment and maintenance of systems of state recreation grounds are being gathered for the National Conference o State Parks by Raymond T. Tor rey, field secretary of the organlZa- tion. This information is to be used in advising other states of the ways and means used in establishing, maintaining and administering state park systems.
 Mr. Torrey, speaking of his labors, declared that one of the objects ot the survey was to induce states ill which are located military reserva- tions which the United States war department wishes to dispose of, to take over these tracts for outdoor recreation purposes. There are many such tracts, he said.
 The National Conference on State Parks is composed of executives, technical experts and supporters ot state park systems from states which already have public outdoor recrea- ton spots.

IJNERRING SKILL MARKS FINGER
 PRINT SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13.- Finger print identification has been developed by the army to the point of efficiency where it is applicable at tive fiction. Any unidentified man who has served in the regular army can be located in from ten to twenty minutes and his full record laid bare In that short time a searcher finds him among the more than seven mil lion men who have been in the army since 1906, when the finger print sys- tenn was introduced. He may have been one of the 50,32S Smiths, the 40,- 101 Johnsons, the 2S,902 Browns, or one of the 27,93S named Williams. All the army needs is his finger print to turn up his record.
 Walter S. Kaye, in charge of the bureau says the indeXing has been so worked out that even a new clerk, one never before having knowledge of the system, can begin work as a searcher with a little preliminary in struction.
 The science of finger print reading is based on the study of the curious, circling network of all but invisible lines on the ball of the thumb and each finger Examination of mil
Seward daily gateway., 1925-03-13

lions of specimens shows that the nor- nal formation is the whorl, or the scroll which winds in a gradually re- ducing circle to their inner termina- tion at the core of the network A majority of human beings are marked with this scroll, but there are others whose finger print lines run in flat tened figures or in complications of figures far removed from the simple easily read whorls. The first step in identification has to do with de- termining the broad general division in which the prints under examina- tion are to be sought.
 There are but four main groups or classifcations of prints, arches, loops, whorls and composites. Each type has it's gradual cases. The whorls have 1924 values or combinations and the loops, arches and composites have each their respective values to simpli- fly segregation for filing and to make them easily located when identifica- tion are sought. The valuation of prints thus made has overcome all diff ficulty of dealing with large collec- tions of finger markings, such as are in the army files.
 Finger prints, since their adoption in 1906, have exposed frauds, protect ed innocent men from injustice, kept undesirables of the criminal type out of service, protected the government from unscrupulous claimants and un- covered the guilty. Many interesting accounts of such instances are con- tained in official papers of the war department during the last 15 years.
