himself of a short campaign

And so it went. Despite Demo-

more false than the idea that
the President had to depend

metamorphosis which will be-
come more plain in the course of
the campaign.
In Role of Statesman
No longer a junior partner on
the Eisenhower team, he is
emerging in the role of the ma
ture statesman, able and quail
fled to assume the role of Presi-
dent. if need be. Everything
about his acceptance speech
bolstered this effect of grave
maturity. Some were even moved
to speculate facetiously after it
was over if Mr.. Nixon and the
president hadn't witched
scripts. At any rate, each word
was designed to bury the hatch
etman in the voters mind and
replace him with a vision of
purest craftsmanship.
In many ways, it was the out
standing performance of the
Afternoon.
The fifth and final session was
called to order on the dot at
pm, with the appearance of
Miss Universe who was presented
to the convention from the band

The pledge of allegiance was
led by Parry O'Brien, member
of the 1856 Olympic team. The
invocation was pronounced by
the Rev. John B. Williams OF
the Second Baptist Church in
Harrisburg, Pa. DR.. Williams
who is colored, offered a prayer
of thanks for the return to the
principles of the American Con-
stitution achieved in the last
four years and for the PreSi-
dents health in the years to
come.
Thanks to Every One
A series of resolutions of ap-
probation followed, in which the
convention unanimously ex-
pressed its thanks to almost
every one connected with it in
an official way.

There Were Some
Laughs In 1855

This is the time of year to look
back nostalgically on memorable
events of 1855. Such as:
Major judicial decision A
blond was ruled a liability. The
plaintiff listed a blonde as the
cause of divorce and therefore
among common property to be di-
vided. But, said the Muskegon,
Mich, judge: g. such an item is
not an asset but is rather a tre-
mendous liability"
Major judicial indecision A
loser in bathing beauty contest
at Whitmore Lake, Mich, claimed
that II of the 20 girls wore falsies.
Said Judge: II didn't. i sup
pose should. they. gre t
guns!" In a moment he added:
This should be avoided next
year." Then a fellow judge asked
quietly: "How?'
Gallo fury A husband in
Mulhouse, France, wanted to sue
the gunsmith who had sold him a
gun that hadn't worked when he
tried to shoot his wife. Police took
an unsympathetic view, charged
him with attempted murder

Montgomery, Ala, convicts were
discovered printing SIS bills in the
Draper Prison printing shop.

B. c. man bought the parts and
installed a new differential in his
English car. Then he found he had
four speeds in reverse and one for

Medical origins Tonsillitis
Jackson had tonsillitis while being
examined for Naval re-enlistment
at San Diego. The coincidence
brought on explanations: Tonsilli-
tis' mother was having tonsillitis
when he was born so the name
naturally occurred to her. 1t got
to be a family tradition, these
quaint, wholesome old names. Now
Tonsillitis has a brother named
Meningitis, four sisters named APP
pendicitis, Laryngitis, Peritonitis
and Jakeitis.

alike, the sets are classed into one
of five basic patterns and various
sub-classes. When the ridges on all
10 fingers differ in basic design,
the pattern of the majority deter
mines the class for the card. So
exact is the system that a set of
arrest prints wire-photograph-
ed from a police department, can
be identified in minutes.
The FBI has rolled up dramatic
records in identifying missing per-
sons, amnesia victims and un-
known dead Once a mother wrote
for help in finding her son whom
she had not seen since he was
four. She enclosed his fingerprints
taken at the age of three. They
led her, through the file, straight
to her grown son-a sailor in the
United States Navy.
A special file, reserved for dam
gerous criminals, keeps $1,000 inn
pressions of individual fingers on
tap. Fingerprints never change.
John Dillinger paid $1,000 to have
his burned off with acid-only to
see new but identical ridges crop
up They can be obliterated by
skin gratis, but the scars are dead
giveaways.
No one, apparently, has beaten
the tingerprint system. A British
government pensioner, however,
unable to sign his name, once out
witted a thumbprint system. At
the age of 120, he was still thumb

More than 1000 years ago, Chin

Toward the end of the 18th CEN
tury, an English magistrate in
Bengal, Sir William Herschel, de-
vised the first workable system of
identifying prints of all the fing-
ers.
Refined by Sir E. r. Henry,
chief of police in Bengal and later
in London, the system was adopted
by Scotland Yard in 1901. The fol-
lowing year the New York Civil
Service Commission began the first
systematic fingerprinting in the
United States. 1t prevented appli-
