How to Take Fingerprints

elbow to Take Fingerprints," is
sued by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, says:
Finger impressions should be
taken on 8-inch by S-inch cards, for
this size has been generally adopt
ed because of the facility of filing
and the distributing of uniform
medium of exchange. There are two
types of impressions that are in
volved in taking fingerprints. In the
first the prints are taken individually
of the thumb, index, middle, ring
and little fingers of each hand, in
order named, and are known as
rolled impressions. In the other
type the impressions are taken by
simultaneously printing all the fin
gers of each hand. Those are called
plain impressions and are used as
a check upon the sequence of rolled
impression

Much of U. S. Part of Mexico

Nearly third of the territory of
the continental United States was
once a part of Mexico. It was ac-
quired by the United States in three
annexations. The first was when
Texas, which had rebelled from
Mexico and set up a separate gov
eminent, was annexed to this coun-
try in 1845. The question of the
Texas boundary led to the Mexican
war, at the conclusion of which our
southern neighbor coded everything
north of the Rio grande and ella
rivers. In 1853 this country settled
a number of questions of boundary,
property and damages by purchas-
ing an additional strip of southwest
ern land from Mexico-the Gadsden
purchase. Included in these three
cessions were all of the states of
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah,
Nevada, and California; more than
half of Colorado, and parts of Ok
lahoma, Kansas and Wyoming.

USE OF GASOLINE NOT MUCH
AFFECTED BY RATE OF TAX

The rate of gasoline tax in the diff
ferent States does not appear to seri-
ously influence resumption Reports
from the States to the Bureau of
Public Roads show that for the last
2 years the greatest increases in con-
sumption-with two exceptions
have been in states with tax rates
above the average.
In 1887, IL States increased their
gasoline consumption by more than
10 percent. In 10 of them the tax
ranged from A to 7 cents. During the
year States increased the rate of
tax by l cent, SO that the average
rate for the United States rose from
1856 cents in 1896 to 3.91 cents in
1887. Rates of tax ranged from 2
cents in the District of Columbia and
Missouri to Z cents in Florida
Louisiana, and Tennessee.
The 6 States-New York, Cali
forn!a, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio,
and Texas-in which consumption
ext {, ded a billion gallons each, are
all in the 8 or cent tax zone.
Nebraska and Tennessee were the
only States that did not report 1887
consumption exceeding 1886. New
York-with l,7O2, 900 gallons,
netting the State nearly $4,000. 900
leads in both volume and receipts.
For the United States the totals for
1887 are 19.21S,121,000 gallons
taxed for highway use, for which
the States collected $756,93O, 900.
Other receipts under gasoline-tax
laws brought the total to 1851, $685.

WHAT THE FIRE INSURANCE
INDUSTRY DOES

Today the average rate for stock
fire insurance is 40 per cent lower
than it was in 1906 Back of that
fact, which means a saving of mil
lions of dollars to policyholders each
year, is a long and dramatic story
of unremitting work by capital stock
fire insurance companies to make
homes and factories safe from the
Fifth Horseman, fire.
This work hasn't been widely pub
licized-but it deserves big book in
which to detail it's achievements.
Your fire and water departments are
better equipped and trained-be-
cause the stock companies, through
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's, cooperate closely with towns
and cities to bring such organiza-
tions to the highest peak of effici-
ency. Homes are built safer because
the industry has perfected a model
building code which has been widely
made into law. Household appliances
and building materials are safer than
they used to be-because the indus
try maintains great laboratories
where all manner of things are test
ed to determine their resistance to
fire. Your home is protected against
the despicable crime of arson-be-
cause the industry, cooperating with
local authorities, maintains bureau
which ferrets out incendiarm, and
never rests until the mystery of a
suspicious fire is solved and the gull
ty person is behind bar.
Perhaps you never heard of these
activities-they haven't been car
ried on with a fanfare of trumpets.
But nothing that is done in this
country touches you more closely.
Nothing is more intimately related
to your personal welfare-and the
welfare of your family and friends
and neighbors. A saving of billions
of dollars and thousands of lives is
the result of the fire prevention work
of the stock fire insurance industry.

Bushmen Practice Simple
Life; Are Always Happy

In the Kalahari desert of the
Bechuanaland protectorate may be
found Stone age race, which has
had to give way first to the Hotten-
tots and then to the Bantu and the
European.
A special refuge camp had been
provided in this desert for these
Bushmen-a people without country,
creed, or protective government
where they may live secure from
surrounding tribes of Bantu and be
saved from extinction, writes cor
respondent in the Philadelphia In
quirer.
The Bushmen are small, about 4
feet 8 inches in height, with an aver
age weight of 95 pounds. Sun-baked
from infancy, their skins are shriv-
eled and the soles of their feet cal
fused from long wanderings on the
desert sands. Rough shelters of
branches covered over with loose
grass provide their "homes." Water
is scarce, and is preserved for drink
ing in ostrich egg shells buried in
the sand.
Throughout their lives the Bush
men never take a bath, but smear
themselves with fat when meat is
plentiful. The procuring of food and
water is the whole business of life.
Certain trees provide few berries;
tsama melons, filed with water,
grow in the sand, and the, bush coun-
try provides antelopes. But sub
sistence is at a low level, and is
eked out with scorpions and insects
of all kinds. White ants and their
eggs are an especial delicacy.
The Bushmen's weapons are the
bow and arrow, and with these they
are remarkably good hunters, keen
at tracking and stalking and tire
less in pursuit. The arrows do not
kill, but inject slow poison into
the animal which must then be fol-
lowed patiently until the poison
takes full effect.

How to Harness Heat of
Sun Told by an Expert

DR.. Charles G. Abbott, secretary
of the Smithsonian institution, who
has been trying for years to popu-
larize his devices for Harvesting the
suns heat, has some new ideas.
You can make the sun cool you
in summer, he says.
Here's how: The rays are picked
up by a concave mirror, trans
ferred to tube of water, and make
the water boil. The water is piped
off to the kind of refrigerator that
runs on gas flame. Boiling water
takes the place of the flame.
And here's how to store summer
heat on the farm for the winter: A
current of air passing over the tube
of boiling water is sent into large
insulated chamber filled with sand
and stone. The heat inside accu-
mulates all through the summer,
then is released gradually into the
home when needed.

YOUR oLD-AGE INSURANCE
What Old-Age Insurance Means 20
Women

Baltimore, June 28.-Many girls
who have jobs in stores, offices. laun-
dries, factories, restaurants, hotels,
will continue to- work five or six
years; then they will marry and
leave the business world for awhile,
maybe forever. What will become of
that old-age instance benefits? Such
benefits, as may accrue, will be wait
ing for them in the Treasury of the
United States, when these woman
reach the age of IS.
Whether a woman marries or not
has nothing whatever to do with the
matter of her old-age insurance.
Quite often marriage takes a woman
out of the wage-earning class, or
interrupts her employment. But dur
ing all the time-between the last
day of 1886 and her 65th birthday
that she is employed in any line of
business or industry, which comes
under the old-age insurance law, her
wages will be credited to her social
security account.
Even though she changes jobs,
often, and is employed by many diff
ferent firms, that will not alter an
insured workers right to old-age in
surance protection
Old-age insurance will be paid to
workers who are entitled to such
payment, regardless of property or
other income. Income of another
source does not effect this payment
in anyway, shape or form.
The amount of old-age insurance
each wage-earner will receive de-
ponds upon the total amount of
wages paid her between the last day
of 1886 and her 65th birthday. The
amount of the payment will be ~
percent of all wages shown on her
social security account.
There is no chance for the woman
who participates in the old-age in
surance plan to lose. If she lives to
be SIS years old, she will receive
benefits amounting to more than she
has paid into the fund. If she dies
before receiving benefits to which
her wage-earnings entitle her, near
relative will receive lump-sum
payment, amounting to more than
the deceased worker had paid into
the fund. '

NICE SEEKS REELECTION

Governor Nice on Thursday night
announced he would be candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket.
Breaking his political silence that
has kept the rank and file OF the par
ty in suspense for many months, ne
announced his intention on broad
cast over stations in all sections OF
the State and in Washington.
After a condensed statement OF
the record" of his administration,
the Governor, who has said several
times he would not seek second
term, reported he had reached his
decision latter consultation with the
leadership of my own party"
His primary purpose in becoming a
candidate, he emphasized, is to COM
plete the program he has started
The benefits of this work, for the
greater part only just begun, he
added, will be lost unless the con-
structive policies we have inaugural
ed are carried on by the adminlstra-
ton which inugurated them"

DEATH BEGINS AT FORTY

The Travellers Insurance Company
has issued a little booklet, Death
Begins at Forty" in which it is
pointed out that underlying reasons
for Americas horrifying automobile
accident record in 1887 were too
much speed and too little courtesy.
According to the booklet statistic
show that if one has AN accident
while driving under forty miles an
hour there is only one chance IN tor-
ty-four that somebody will be killed,
but if the accident come while one
is travelling faster than forty, there Is
one chance in nineteen that some
body will be killed. Forty-thousand-
three-hundred persons met death IN
traffic accidents last year. Nearly for-
ty per cent of these fatalities were
directly traceable to speed, and nine
ty-seven per cent of drivers involved
in fatal accidents had one or more
years of driving experience-ln other
words, they should have known
better.
The driver guilty of speed and dis
courtesy on the highway is potent
ial murderer-and should be treated
as such upon apprehension. Common
discourtesy is usually simply mark
OF ignorance, but when applied to
the fast driver it is mark OF mania
cal disregard of human life. No
amount of "wire-pulling should al
low such a person to escape punish
ment.
Laws in themselves cannot lnstlll
common sense and chivalry in road
hog-only fear and respect for the
law will do that; and rigid, lmpart-
ial enforcement is the club to use.
