the prohibition issue, and with the
backing of Postmaster General
Walter F. Brown, the Presidents
campaign manager, but the result

cial family have been banking on

gument for his acceptance of a ref
erendum plank.

Democrat, of Arkansas, only woman
member of the United States Sen

The War Department has one of
the most efficient fingerprinting
systems in the world, the details
of which are carefully kept secret.
A young man walked into the De-
partment the other day and an
nounced to the guard hat he did
not know his name. All he could
remember, he said, was that he had
been in the army at one time and
he thot perhaps the army might
have some records by which he
could reestabilsh his identity. His
finger prints we're compared with
those taken Of enlisted and drafted
men during the World War, and
after a short time the man with
the misplaced name was told that
he was Ben Ipsip, of Norfolk, Vir-
ginia. The Department took the
precaution to write his name down
so that he would not forget it
again.
