This and That
Copyright. 1885. BY
GRIDLEY ADAMS

Twenty years ago, almost, America
sent two million or so criminals into
the World war. ! use the term
criminals" because that is what
some people believe to be every per-
son who bears an identification
mark. and yet the flower of Ameri-
cas- young manhood. every man OF
! them, wore his tag, so that II
wars desolating effects diSmembered
one or bott Of his hands, the fingers
Of which had been imprinted. there
would still be some chance OF thous-
ands Of American mothers learning
OF where "their boy" lay beneath
French soil and waving peoples.
Today. some $4,000 OF more per-
sons are yearly killed by automo-
biles. Hundreds of fathers have
kissed their wives and chubby faced
youngsters the usual mornings
'good-bys", and then found their
lost-way into graves In some Pot
ter's field. because there was no way
OF identifying them.
Should universal flnger.priating
be frowned upon Just because 1t Is
so largely used for the marking OF
criminals for the very protection OF
the general public against further
criminal acts by these same out
laws? Did the mother OF every son
who went overseas" object to her
boy being protected in similar
manner?
Is every man In moneyed insti-
tuition marked as q potential GRIM
inal the moment he Is bonded? In
fact, isn't only honest men who can
qualify for bonds. The very auditing
OF q bookeeper's accounts Is not to
prove him dishonest, quite as much
as to prove his very honesty. One OF
the greatest abhorances Of criminals
Is to be finger-printed. No better
argument that this was ever adj
vanced as to why honest men and
women ought TO be individually
Identified SO as TO prevent them
fr n ever being thought, or found
to be, the criminal sought.
II inger-printing Is thought 70 be
associated only with crime, then no
moro should families have photo
graphs Of their dear ones Just be-
cause every criminal has two views
OF his head photographed for some
Rouges' gallery. Il there not the
same justification Tor no more pro-
tographs as there Is against finger
printing for self.protection?
II only remains for some group
OF prominent women TO nationally
advocate finger-printing as o fad.

Gus practice Of painting their I'm

In response to questions at her
press conference this morning, Mrs.

Mrs. Roosevelt was asked:
docs the President give much
time to the selection of his clothes?"
She replied that her husband was
able to devote very little time to
choosing clothes, but added that he
seemed very much interested once he
concentrated ON the task.
The designers, in convention at the
Washington Hotel. explained that Mr..
Roosevelt topped the list of best
