Different From Brothers

An elaborate study of these prints revealed that the quints are identical throughout.
 The total ridge count of the finger patterns differed very little among the quints, for instance, but was considerably different in their brother Ernest and their sisters Rose and Therese, whose prints were taken for comparison.
 The shape of the finger patterns was also very similar.
 Furthermore, each of the quints possesses one or more interdigital

 Here, for the first time, science has a chance to study five children of identical heredity; and scien- tists will be citing the five little girls from Callander on one side or the other of the perennial argu- ment Cor possibly on both sides) for many years to come.
 Anyway, what the scientists were primarily interested in WAS in finding out whether the quints actually are identical.
 Identical twins, they point out, are usually the same only in few characteristics-such as sex, blood groups, color of eyes, hair and skin, and so on. In other in- stances-the shape of their ears, their finger and palm prints, the shape of face and skull - they are very different.
 So one of the first things DTS. MacArthur and Ford wanted was to find out about the quints' fin- gerprints.
 And Began to Cry
 The quints had had an early experience with fingerprinting which left them and everyone connected with them very cold. When they were quite small, the provincial government sent a couple of policemen to the place to record the quints' prints. The detectives brough their regulation fingerprinting equipment, with ink and everything.
 So the quints got ink on their fingers. Then they got it smudged all over themselves. They got 1t on the detectives, on the furniture and on the virginal whiteness of the nurses uniforms. And = to wind up-they smeared the paper so that no readable prints could be obtained, and then they gor offended by so much ink and be- gan to cry, in unison.
 The detectives retired, baffled.
 Dr. BlatZ, being working psy- chologist, solved the problem. He rubbed a cold cream and honey lotion into the skin of a quint's hand. The hand was then pressed lightly on a sheet of glossy paper laid on @ rubber pad. The hand being removed, the paper was treated with finely powdered and sifted lamp black, and after the excess powder was shaken off, the print was fixed by putting the pa- per in a solution of resin and alco- hol.
 The result was a set of prints which would delight J. Edgar Hoover and which did de- light Drs. MacArthur and Ford, TO supplement them, plaster casts

 Toronto, Ont., Nov. D. The Dionne quintuplets might provide a bad moment or two for the fingerprint ex- perts, if they should ever de- eide to submit their prints for examination. For their fingerprints are amazingly similar.
 The different sets, when completely recorded, can be distinguished, of course. But if one of the quintuplets should put one slightly smudged print on a sheet of paper-a print of her forefin- ger, for instance-the science of fingerprinting might find. it utterly impossible to tell which of the five sisters had made it."
 This is just one illustration of the amazing resemblance the quintuplets have to one another. They are identical quintuplets - a phenomenon as rare among quintuplets (which are an 87,000,- O0-to-one shot to begin witlO as identical twins are among ordi- nary twins.
 identical" as biogolists use the word, doesn't mean quite what you might suppose. No two pee pie are ever really identical. Even those twins who look so much alike that their own parents get mixed up about them - everyone has known some such pair - are not exactly alike. It's all mat ter of degree.
 But the Dionne quintuplets - all five of them - come closer to being exactly alike than any pair or group of children ever studied by science before.

Most "Identical' Children Ever Known
1 The Same Story

The Same Story
 The footprints told the same story the handprints told.
 From hands and feet the bi. ologists moved up the faces; aro it is only fair to report that they often got completely baffled by the five ruddy countenances they were studying.
 The quints themselves, however never make any mistakes in iden- tifying each other, ana that they become highly amused at the mis- takes of their elders.
 The biologists also found that the faces are even more alike than the hands and feet.
 The form and color of the eye and the pigment pattern of he iris, is the same for all five. The iris color is medium brown mixed with gray, by the way Eyelashes are all long, curled and dark brown. The hair is all wavy, 8 dark slightly reddish, brown, uniform in texture. Con- tours of the hairline on forehead temple and neck are the same. One difference was noted; the hair whorls on the crowns of the quints' heads all go counter clockwise with the exception of Marie. Her swirls the other way Complexion and skin texture for all five children are the same Complexion: fair, clear and rosy. It tans deeply, but does not freckle. Cecile and Annette each had a small temporary mole on the right cheek near the eye, at one time; they're gone now.
 Even Ears the Same
 Peoples ears are almost in- variably different, even on identical twins. The quints' ears were stud- jed with vast care, but only very minor differences could be detected 50 very minor that one of the bi- ologists twice in one day failed to identify a given quint by the shape of the ear, which had been supposed to be an almost foolproof system.
 AS you know from their pic- lures, the quints look alike. The biologists tested the regularity of the girls features in an involved and painstaking way, and at last came to the same conclusion.
 The biologists examined the quints to see which hand each girl preferred to use. Emile may turn out to be southpaw; the others are all right-handed. The quints' blood was tested; all five Of them are in the same blood group.

return adored her.
His father had also at one time laid
claim to a certain amount OF good
breeding, but by the time Jerry was 6
1t would have been difficult to di ern
many traces Of it. Old man Travers
was one of those unfortunates who
are predestined to be eternaly de-
feated by the world, no matter what
breaks came along. Jerry's earliest
recollections of him were not Of the
sort he cared to shout to the world
about.
They lived ON the border line be-
tween a well-to-do and middle class
residence section and an unblushingly
squalid district. Jerrys father would
work for = couple Of weeks, just
enough to make bare expenses and a
little extra, and then he would dis
appear for a week What he did dur
ing his absence he never bothered to
explain, but 1t certainly wasn't doing
him any good.
Jerry's frail mother acted IS buf-
fer between her son and his deterior-
ating father as long as she was physi-
cally capable, and Jerry benefited by
her guidance. But the unequal strug-
gle eventually proved too much for
her slender vitality. Old man Trav-
ers sobered up just long enough to see
her decently buried.
THE second period of Jery's life was
just what you might expect it to
be. His father showed no aptitude for
halting the steady deterioration
which even he himself was forced to
recognize. Instead, he urged rs.
