Congress each year appropriates money for the business but you could count on your two hands the number of Congressmen who have registered their finger prints. How ever, there is some evidence that a move is under way to bring them along
 Altogether the FBI has 10,092,000 prints on file, by far the largest group being criminal. So far only 1, ,132, ,000 ordinary citizens like John D. Rockefeller Jr., and Sally Rand are registered.
 But the Junior Chamber of Con- merce has taken it up, and wo- mems clubs and travelling college classes sometimes come up for fin- er-printing en masse. For the most part the civilian finger-prints just stay in the files. That is not true of the criminal file, which is called the Active File. That represents card index file of some 4,600,000 persons who, as J. Edgar Hoover phrases it, have identified themselves with the criminal ele- ments." The rest of the ten mil lion odd prints include civil service employees, duplicates, etc. Of course you don't have to come to Washington for the ceremony Get in touch with an FBI agent near your home and he'll take car' of it.

 Was Stevedore
 Going to the then Territory of Washington in 1886, Lewis found little call for attorneys, He taught languages two years at the Univer- sity of Washington, was dropped when the faculty was pruned and got a job as stevedore on the Seattle docks, practicing a bit of law on the side.
 For the first six months his only case was defense of a fellow long shoreman charged with stealing a case of cigars. The fee was 80 cents. Then he took the case of 20 men in the city jail charged with violat- ing an ordinance. He proved the ordinance unconstitutional, freed the men with writs of habeas corpus and found his services in demand.
 Because of his first big case, Seat tie called him "Habeas Corpus Lew is" and the name stuck through service in the Territorial Senate and his election as Congressman-a Large for the 1897-99 term, Tn the latter year he was nominated for the Senate by the Democratic leg islative caucus in the new State and was Washingtons "favorite son. candidate for vice-President at the Democratic National Convention in Kansas City.
 Married in Georgia
 In November, 1928, he went back to Georgia and married Miss Rose Lawton Douglas.
 Despite his honors in the far west, he moved to Chicago in 1903. Two years later he was corporation coun- sel for the city of Chicago, Demo- cratic candidate for Governor of Illinois in 1908, and was elected Senator in 1912.
 Medill Mccormick, Republican, defeated Lewis attempt at re-elec- tion in 1918 and until 1880 Illinois remained consistently Republican on major offices. Then Ruth Hanna Mccormick, widow of Lewis 1918' opponent, won the Republican Sem atorial primary and Lewis defeated her in the election by 100000 votes.
 Polite in Politics
 In that campaign the Lewis polite ness reached an apex. He never criticized Mrs. Mccormick person. ally but answered her statements with: "The lady has been led into error" After the votes were counted when news photographers asked him to smile, the courtly victor said: "Gentlemen. I will not exult over the defeat of a woman"
 III health first came to Senator Lewis in the 1930 campaign He com plained that an insect injured his throat while he was making a speech.
 In June, 1892, after strenuous tour of duty in the Senate, he underwent an operation for re-

moval of his tonsils. The strain of overwork slowed his recovery, but he accepted a government mission to Europe. In Paris he fell i'll again and his return was delayed until October. He made only one address in the 1892 campaign.
 Another siege in hospital follow ed and he left his bed against his physicians orders to attend the opening of Congress in December.
 Polite to Wife
 Throughout these months of ail- ing he was constantly attended by his wife. Mrs. Lewis, charmingly vivacious, was a perfect foil for her courtly husband. Friends said he always removed his hat and bowed subconsciously when talking to her over the telephone.
 Once, as they crossed the lobby of a fashionable Chicago hotel, Col. Lewis halted before young woman, bowed deeply and said: Madam, you may inform your husband that James Hamilton Lewis thinks that is very becoming gown" The Sen ator bowed again to the surprised but pleased lady and resumed his walk.
 Similar tales of the Lewis man. nerisms were legion, but sometimes he met his come uppance." Yet his sense of humor allowed him to ap- preciate jokes on himself and he delighted especially to tell of red headed waitress in the hotel of a small southern Illinois town which he visited in his 1912 campaign. She listened to his elaborately polite comments on the food and her own ministrations and appearance, then shot at him:
 1 Gets Back at Him l Don't give me that line. I've been kidded by experts"
 \ Lewis graciousness once almost brought a diploma tic incident Standing in evening clothes at the entrance of the dining room in g Washington hotel, awaiting other members of his party, he was ac- costed by woman who turned oui to be a confidential agent of tht British embassy.

 She was not appeased to learl that he was not the headwaiter and the British embassy saw littl humor in the incident. The Lewis manner, diction ant dress made him the delight of car toonists and the target for sharl shafts from opponents. But he hat ready replies and once told cor respondent:
