Scotland Yard Plans
To Cable Fingerprints
Throughout Empire

Scotland Yard is setting up an
empire-wide - probably eventually
world system Of exchanging
fingerprints by cable.
Results of the first tests between
London and Melbourne, Australia,
have Just been reported in the Brit
ish scientific journal, Nature, by
Supt. r. r. Cherrill Of Scotland
Yards fingerprint division. Unex-
pected success was noted.
The fingerprints are cabled by q
telephoto process. A card nine by
ten inches is sent. It contains a
mans photo, the prints OF one nm
ger, and charts Of the prints Of all
the other fingers. 1t required. Supt.
Cherrill reported, seven minutes Ia
transmit such card between Lon
don and Melbourne.
In this case, a man known to have
Australian antecedents had been
arrested in London. Almost imme-
diately the Melbourne police were
able to identify him positively and
cable back his complete record to
England. He was confronted with 1t
when he appeared in court for a
preliminary hearing the next morn
ing.
Transmission Of q picture con-
tanning such fine details as finger
print, Supt. Cherrill says. requires
an extremely delicate technique.
Distortion of q single detail would
make a transmitted photograph OF
no value.
Due to the success of the Aus
tralian experiments. Mr. Cherrill
says, it Is planned to set up
fingerprint transmission system
throughout the British Empire and
in key cities In other countries.
No Arrangements Here.
Apparently, however, no such ar
rangements have been made as yet
with Washington where the Fed
eral Bureau Of Investigation has the
largest collection of American fin
gerprlntS.
Experiments with fingerprint
transmission between American
cities have been made, according to
an FBI spokesman, but relatively
little reliance is placed upon them.
Telephoto transmission, it was ex-
planned, is based on series of dots.
1t has been found that sweat will
seriously distort these dots and the
resultant pattern. Chief reliance has
been placed on telegraphing charts
Of fingerprints.
Some Fingerprints Sent.
Fingerprints themselves have been
sent, however, as an emergency
measure. They would give only
high probability Of mans identity.
There have been cases, however, in
which men confronted with this
high probability have confessed,
making further Identification un-
necessary.
No effort ever has been made, ac-
cording to the FBI spokesman, to
extend the system outside the United
States although the closest possible
relations are maintained with Scot
land Yard.

Crown Kings
inRegional

In three fast, action packed
games the 1916 Regional Champs
in Glass B. C and d were crowned
Saturday at Ypsilanti High gymna-
stun fore a capacity crown.
The new ti',eholders are Waldron
in Glass d, Detroit st. Cecilia in
Glass C and Pennington in class g.
The opener matched Waldron
and A. Z. Smith from Trenton VINO
were runner-ups for the crown last
year and it was tight struggle
all the way with Waldron leading
1911 at the half and 20-1S at the
end OF the third period. finally
nosing out Smith by a score OF 26-
%. Smiths Shoup led both teams
in scoring with IL markers while
the victors trio OF Rutenacht. Pow
ell and Taviene combined for 20
counters.
The Glass c finalists were Detroit
st. The has and Detroit st. Cecilia
and st. Thomas trailed after the
beginning OF the second period
until less than a minute remained
in the game when they tied the
game on Kordella's layup but in
the final seconds ST. Cecilia threw
field goal for the ball game and
the Regional championship. The
fine hall handler and sharpshooter
Shappee paced the victo with his
nine tallies and Kordella swished
in four field goals for eight points
for the losers.
Wayne started like a wnirlwind
against Pennington with their
captain Davis netting IS markers
in the first half to go into the
second hal with comfortable
1911 lead. However, the fighting
Pennington FIVE began to click
extensively while holding Wayne
to three charity losses until, with
80 seconds to go, Poteau netted a
push shot but a few seconds later
Tyler cinched the contest for the
Pennington quintet on a quick
opening play. The final score was
IS to "a and the aggressive speedy
Carley led his team in scoring with
II points. For the losers Davis
poured IA counters through the
hoop.

Hansen High
Meet Scorer

Co oh George Marshall's tracks
ters were upset Saturday at Water
I man Gymnasium in Ann Arbor by
a better conditioned Wayne Uni
versity squad with the final score
561a TO $50. This marked Wayne s
fourth win in IL years over the
Normal team but the results will
probably be reversed when the
squads meet outdoors.
Paul Hansen was the top invi.
V.dual scorer OF the meet as the
versatile Huron garnered IA
! points h. virtue OF double win IN
the mile and two mile runs and a
tie for first place with Normal's
Forrest Neauveaux in the pole
vault. The Huron distance ace
turned in creditable 4:42.9 in the
mile run and came back % min
utes later to lap the field in cap
turing the two mile event in the
excellent time Of l0:1S.9, his best
time Of the year.
The NEE. only other double win
ner was Massenburg OF ayne who
COPIED both hurdles for runner-up
honors. Although Wayne L. took
seven frsts out of IL events sche-
duled the outcome of the engage
ment was in doubt r1til the next
to last event which was the low
hurdles, but In spite If the entry
OF Ed Wellner, the Tartars scored
grand slam in a blanket finish
to put the encounter on ice for
Wayne u.
Bill Cave ran a brilliant 52.7 in
the quarter mile to edge out Wingo,
Wayne's ace, by FIVE yards. Bill
Nedderdland lost the half mile
to Wayne's Waskin by inches in
spite Of a fast finishing kick that
just failed short Of victory. z. o.
Johnson leaped six feet in the high
jump for second place and closed
fast in the high hurdles to earn
third for the Hurons. Stan John
ston threw the shot Il feet, five
inches, for runner-up honors in
the shot put and Don Jones was

yard dash. Savinski OF Michigan
Normal unleashed a strong finish
ing squirt that gave him second
place in L , mile run while dim
inutive Ed Wellner jumped five
feet ten inches in the high jump
for third place tie. Members on
the losing ten lap relay team were
Hurons Wellner. Johnson. Dicker-
son and Cave. Spenser moved up
fast in the last lap to gain a third
in the $50.
Forrest Neauveaux is the Monroe
vaulter who set the existing state
high school mark OF IL feet eight
inches in the State meet OF 1912
and in spite OF his four year SER
vice lyon he displayed the excel
lent form that made him the finest
high school pole vaulter ever de-
veloped in the State OF Michigan.

THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART.

1t is but little more dependable than Detroit
Edison service.
That miraculous continuity of service, here
and elsewhere, is due to endless research and
experiment by engineers and executives of the
electric industry. In that program of progress,
which has continued through the years, and
will continue through the years to come, The
Detroit Edison Company has been pioneer.
Once a single transformer served your home.
That transformer was the transfer point, the
vital connecting link, between the miles upon
miles of power lines and the line that served
you. When it failed the power was gone.

which follow every war are in the
saddle and riding hard. =.
There's a smart farm woman in
the Bluffton district who has a
brand new pair of nylons because
she is an expert buttermaker. With
nylons scarce and butter equally
unobtainable, she struck a bargain
with the wife of a merchant in a
nearby city to furnish butter in ex-
change for nylons-and the arrange
ment appears to be working out to
the mutual satisfaction of all con-
cerned. Now don't rush, girls-re-
member Rome wasn't built in a
day-and buttermaking isn't learned
in day either.
And while we're on the subject of
women's fashions-on which we lay
no claim to speak with authority
we'll pass along for what it may be
worth, an observation which we
heard the other day that women's
skirts currently at knee length level
are beginning to dip in the back
and if history repeats itself that
sign can be taken as a forerunner
of a depression.
However, we did check on this at
source which should know and
here's what we found. Dresses be-
gan to lower in the back in 1927 and
then the front was heightened to
even out the line. BY 1888 skirts
were almost down to the ankles.
Now when dresses are up to the
knees hemlines are beginning to dip
again.
See America first is a good motto
to observe if you're going on a
motor trip, says Ed Conaway who
with Mrs. Conaway recently returned
from a trip thru the southwest and
Mexico. Everything went o. K. un-
