ing out new system.
I If a set of prints are handed to an
expert, with the information, "This is
John Doe; see if you have him on file"
the expert can find out very quickly.
But if the prints are those Of an un-
known individual, the expert has to do
"a deal of searching through his rec
ords to determine whether or not he
has corresponding set.
Furthermore, though all experts
agree that there are no two sets of
prints just alike, there are some pretty
strong resembIances.
. Final1y, suppose a question arises
concerning the identity of someone
who has been a long time dead-is
nothing but skeleton, perhaps-or
who perished in fire or an explosion.
The impossibility of taking prints is
obvious in such case.
But where a body or even a skele-

most certain to be available with it.
The features may be mutilated, the
bone may be crushed or it may be
charred by fire. but unless it has been
destroyed completely, enough of it will
be left to permit an examination of the
teeth
When a recruit joins the navy his
teeth always are thoroughly overhaul
ed. After that the dentist sees them
again at least once a year
1t is upon this dental record that Ex-
pert Taylor depends.
Expert Taylor does not expect this
system to supplant finger prints, but
he does believe it will prove an in
valuable supplement to the latter.
A dental identification is a matter of
minutes, while an identification by
finger prints sometimes is a matter of
days. Having accomplished it by the
former method it can be verified by
the latter without the necessity for
an examination of perhaps thousands
of prints.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
IN DEFENSE OF THE JELLY FISH.

The jelly fish has little understanding
The merest scrap of intellect has he,
He spends his days contracting and ex-
panding
Afloat upon the surface of the sea.
Propelled by vagrant winds or currents
tidal
No pleasures of the heart of brain
are his,
He commonly is absolutely idle
But in the midst he brews a subtle
poison
AS through the waves he wabbles to
and fro, III
IA sharp and stinging bane which he
employs on
Occasions when encountered by foe.
And if we seek to fondle him or pet him
Upon our hands he'll leave a painful
mark,
And long, long weeks Well rue the day
we met him,
And wish instead we'd tampered with
a shark.
1T doesn't seem quite right that such a
creature
An undulating, Floating work of art,
SO flower like in grace and form and
feature
Should bear that load Of venom in his
heart.
SO innocent he looksyso mild and gentle
AS he goes bobbing in the dory's
wake,
It's hard to think that he's as tempera-
mental tssit+
And ill-disposed toward people as IA
x snake. 9Se E
But if we were devoid of all emotion
without a brain, and doomed for all
our days
Upon bleak and often stormy ocean,
TO drift upon our aimless, weary
I ways.
# in our hearts was nothing we 'cou4d
treasure,
If we .were always flabby, cold and
wet,
Perhaps we'd find melancholy pleas
In singing every creature that we
met.

They would come back refreshed
by the rest and change and with an
enlarged horizon. For the sake Of
congenial companionship on the trains
and in the hotels it would be pleasant
if all the farmers of state or a
number of states would knock off at
the beginning of harvest.
The only cost of this great boon
for the farmers would be the food or
the nation; but, according to the new
way of looking at things, it is absurd
to let the mind dwell unon such Il
gross consideration when the higher
life of the farmers and their wives IS
the alternative.

BY a short, but impressive ceremony
In which more than 100 people par
tlcipated, E. 8. Tisdale, chief engineer
of the State Department of Health,
attached q copper plate four inches
square, bearing the words: safe
Water, West Virginia State Depart,
ment Of Health, No. l." and the seal
of the state, upon a drilled well at
Happy's Park on the Morgantown-
Point Marion highway, Saturday, July
3. The placing of this first marker
officially opened the campaign of the
State Department of Health to aid
In the prevention of typhoid fever
from a water borne source, among
travellers and among the rural. people
on West Virginia's new highways.
It seems appropriate, according to
MP. Tisdale, that a symbol which Is
designed to mark the endeavor OF the
state to obtain freedom from typhoid
fever and other intestinal diseases,
should be placed at time when the
whole nation was celebrating the an
niversary Of American freedom. Not
only the State Department of Health,
but also the Agricultural Extension
Division of West Virginia University
participated In the ceremony through
Mr.. Nat 7. Frame, director of the
division, and Mr.. T. D. Gray, extern
sion landscape architect. The cere-
monies were In charge of the Morgan
town Business and professional
Women's Club.
IN his address Mr.. Tisdale descrfD-
cd the manner In which the safe water
supply markers will be placed along
all the main Travelled auto routes OF
the state, emphasizing that extremely
rigid precautions will be taken by the
sanitary engineers Of the department,
