That ended Helen's odyssey which
began when, accompanied by q de-
livery boy from the grocery store
where her father Is employed, she
was sent to the drug store for a pack
age. The boy had been instructed
to return Helen within q block of
her house, but, instead, he left her
at the drug store. Unfamiliar with
the section, she soon lost her way and
couldn't remember her address when
Mrs. Sullivan noticed her and called
the police.
Helen's brother, Charles, aged 4,
spent several hours in the Receiving

ture, published IN the newspaper be.
fore his parents had been located,

an effort to protect persons against
burial as unknown dead or wandering
the country as victims of amnesia.
The section, established in 1898, filed
during June the fingerprint cards OF
16,347 persons.
The importance of building up as
nearly as possible complete central
fingerprint record was accentuated,
officials said, by the fact that only
IS per cent Of the fingerprints Of de-
ceased persons received In June could
be matched with prints now on file.
and identity established.
~ Are Identified.
OF the 288 fingerprints Of deceased
persons received in that month 72
were identified with records in the
sections files. while prints Of 1872 ten
tatively established identity. but veri-
fication was desired. In SO Of these
cases the identifications were con-
flrmed.
OF 96 fingerprints of unidentified
dead, 10, or 1879 per cent, were iden-
titled. and in most cases information
furnished as to previous residences and
places Of birth.
Dead whose fingerprints were identi-
fled in June included seven killed by
train, three by automobile and one
while resisting arrest.
Tentative Identification.
Cases where tentative identification
had been made, but prints were sub
mitted to obtain further information
included two killed by train, three BY
automobile, nine resisting arrest, one
by drowning, one found dead on
freight train. two suicides, 13 prison
deaths, one legally executed and two

yesterday by residents, old and young,
along the canal from Georgetown to
Chain Bridge as result OF draining
the Georgetown level to permit clean
ing Of the old water way.
An astonishing variety Of original
methods of killing the fish stranded in
the shadows Of the canal bed has been
devised during the past two days. Fish
are being shot with pebbles from sling
shots, BIB shot from air-rif1es and
rocks and other missiles thrown by
excited youngsters. They are being
speared with improvised harpoons and
f1sh-spears. A popular method Is
to the ends of poles.
Many pounds of carp, catfish. eels
ard miscellaneous varieties Of fish
have been caught along the 3l2 miles
Of the canal, which was drained Friday.
Wood removing operations and
cleaning out the heavier items of junk
which have been heaved into the canal
in the dark of the moon should be
completed by tomorrow and the canal
will be refilled at once so that power
may be restored to the temporary idle
turbines Of the paper and -four mills
along the canal.
Heavy Growth Of Grass.
It became necessary to drain the
Georgetown level Of the canal because
the growth of water grass. the heaviest

raked out onto the canal banks and
left to dry.
The present canal cleaning Is the
second this year. Just after the Spring
floods, the canal was drained, repaired,
cleaned and ref1lled.
"One Of the mysteries Of this canal
cleaning business" it was explained
by company officials, ''is the amount OF
junk that finds its way into the canal,
especially through Georgetown. No
one knows when 1t Is dumped in. We
have watchmen ourselves and have
asked the police to keep an eye open
to prevent the dumping Of junk into
the canal. but it gets in just the
same"
Tons of Junk Found.
Tons of junk, chiefly old automo-
bile tires and parts Of broken-down
cars, tin cans, bottles, old oil drums
and the like. litter the bed Of the
canal.
Company officials explained that
during the Spring cleaning the junk
was dragged onto the canal banks to
be hauled away to dumps, but before
it could be collected most Of it had
been thrown back into the water,
probably by idlers along the canal who
liked to make big splash.
Best fishing yesterday seemed to be
In a block-long pool above the Thirty
first street bridge. Here colored men
with hooks on the ends Of poles waded
into the shallow water and mud.
