UNERRING EFFICIENCY
NOW MARKS US ARMY
FINGER PRINT SYSTEM
WASHINGTON, March 28 .
(Finger print indentification has
been developed by the army to the
point of efficiency where Its ap
plication at times vies with the
(thrills of detective fiction. Any
I unidentified man who has served
in the regular army can be locat
ed in from 10 to 20 minutes, and
bis full record laid bare. In that
short time a searcher finds him
among the more than 7,000,000
men who have been in the army
since 1906, when the finger print
system was Introduced. He may
have been one of the 50,328
Smiths, the 40,101 Johnson, the
128,902 Browns, or one of the If 7,
938 named Williams. All the army
needs is his finger print to turn
up his record. 1
Walter S. Kaye, in charge of
the bureau, says the indexing has
been worked out so efficiently
that even a new clerk, one never
before having had knowledge of
the' system can begin work as a
searcher with little preliminary Instruction.
The science of finger print read
ing is based on the study of the
curious, circling network of all but
invisible lines of the ball of the
thumb and each finger. Examina
tion of millions of specimens
shows that the normal formation
is the wort, or the scroll which
winds these lines from the outer
edge In a gradually reducing circle
to their inner termination at the
core pt the network. A majority
of human beings are marked with
this scroll, but there are others
whose finger print lines in flatten
ed figures or In complications of
figures far removed from the sim
ple, easily read whorls. The first
step in identification has to do
with determining the broad gen
eral division in which the prints
under examination are to be
sought. 1 y .,
There are but four main groups
' or classifications of prints, arches.
loops, whorls and composites
Each type has its gradational
cases. The whorl have 1,024 values
or combinations and the loops.
arches and composites have each
their respective values to simplify
segregation for filing and to make
them easily located when identifi
cations are sought.: The evalua
tion of prints thus made has
overcome all difficulty of dealing
with. large collections of: finger
markings, such as are in the army
files. I : i
Finger prints, since their adop
tion in 1906, hare exposed frauds,
protected Innocent men from in
justice, kept undesirables of the
criminal type out of the service,
protected the government , from
unscrupulous claimants and un
covered the guilty. Many interest
ing accounts of such instances are
contained in official papers of the
war department during the last
15 years. : - .:; ','; -
Those who have worked in the
identification bureau since its
establishment are authority for
the statement that never has a
mistake been made. ;They have
made more than 200,000 Identifi
cations. '. ;; , . .. '
"The finger print system Mr.
Kaye says, "Is superior to any
other system so. far devised " in
that it permits of no! error. This
may seem a strong statement, but
the finger print, when clearly
made, allows of no misrepresents
tion; it is an actual presentation
and does not permit the personal
equation of , error to enter. Other
systems allowed errors of mea
surement and errors in location of
marks." 1 !
" In the 'more' thin 70.0&0,'0
digit photographs in j the identifi
cation bureau's files,! Mr. Kaye
says, there are no two of then)
alike. "There Is Just as much
chance of finding two prints alike
as there would be in going into
the fields and finding two flowers
exactly alike."

MARKETS OF EUROPE .
MADE AVAILABLE TO
AMERICAN FARMERS
i - BERLIN, March 28 Ready al
ways to hetp American farmers
find markets in Europe for their
produce, the department of agri
culture at Washington Is showing
increased activity on the continent.
After the war It took orer tbe
records and offices of the Ameri
can system of food administration,
and today has bureaus in London,
Berlin,. Paris and Rome, with sub
offices in various other strategic
centers. William A. Schoenfeld
has been sent to this city as gen
eral director for Europe.'
The products bought, by Europe
from America are, in? the order of
their importance, cotton, grain,
tobacco, fruit and meat. ' The va
rious European bureaus study loc
al crop reports, the needs of the
population for the various articles
imported, and the time when the
American crop is 'wanted in Eu
rope. They inform the European
purchaser of current prices and,
wherever the department has es
tablished standards recognized
among the American producers,
place these at the service of the
European buyers. 4 This Increases
confidence in American business
honesty, and, thus helps the Amer
ican producer in winnig back the
Europea market which he lost in
large part during the war.
Another phase of the work of the
European bureaus Is that of keep
ing information on improved me
thods of agricultural development
discovered or introduced by Euro
pean farmers. If a . sugar beet
grower In Germany succeeds in
raising a particularly fine grade
of beet through a. method pecu
liar to his farm, the bureau in
Berlin immediately investigates
