aaya. "I have talked with numeroua
peace officers and Judges, and each
of them has offered severe criticism
of the plan to allow prison lmnatos
the privileges they enjoy through the
publication.
"It offers an opportunity for In

Codding said the prison publication

Three new members took their
places this week on the council of
the Farm Credit admlnl strati on of
Bpokane, which acta as a Joint board
of directors supervising the Federal
Land bank, Federal Intermediate
Credit bank, Production Credit cor
poration and Bank for Cooperatively
at Spokane.
W. H. Ragbdale of Moro, Ore., was
elected to membership on the coun
cil, or governing board, by coopera
tive associations Of the northwest
which have become stockholding bor
rowers of the Bank for Cooperatives.
John A. Wilson of Stanford, Mont.,
was elected by the northwest's 31 lo
cal cooperative production credit as
sociations which discount their mem
bers notes through the Intermediate
Credit hank. George A. Brlebach of
Wllsall, Mont., was appointed by the
governor of the Farm Credit admin
istration at Washington.
The board Is made up of threo
members elected by local farmer
stockholders and four appointed by
the governor of the FCA to serve the
public Interest with terms running
for three years each. Next December'
the national farm loan associations
which negotiate long-term mortgage
loans for their stockholder members
through the Land bank will nominate
and elect their representative on the
district board, end another place will
be filled by appointment.
Although membership on the board

heavy responsibility of directing vhe
largest farm financing organization In
the Pacific northwest a cooperative
credit system having nearly 4200, -000,000
In loan value and represent
ing more than 60.000 northwest farm
ers who have an ownership Invest
ment of 48,110,000 through their lo
cal cooperative mortgage loan asso
ciations, local cooperative production
credit associations and local coopera
tive marketing and purchasing asso
ciations. Set up on a self-supporting business
basis, these permanent units of the
Farm Credit administration funda
mentally were not created to loan
government money, but to connect
local farmers with the nation's in
vestment markets and supply neces
sary loan funds through the sale of
long-term Land bank bonds and
short-term Intermediate Credit bank
debentures.
CRIME CLASS,
RECORDS REVEAL
WASHINGTON (UP) Statistics
complied by the federal bureau of in
vestigation, U. 8. department of jus
tice, show that lb out of every 100
persons arrested during 1030 were 1ft
years of age or younger. .
The facts were gained from the
examination of 302 ,2 (VI -treat records
of persons whose fingerprints were
forwarded to the bureau during 1935
by state and municipal law enforce
ment agencies.
The compilation disclosed that dur
ing the year 13.300 Individuals were
arrested and charged with robbery,
33,649 with burglnry, and 11,004 with
auto theft. The predominance of
youth In those types of crimes Is
shown by the fact that 7,108 (83.6
per cent) of those arrested and charg
ed with robbery; 19,390 (00.1 per cent)
of those charged with burg lory, and
7.488 (08 0 per cent) of those charged
with auto theft, were under 30.
During 1035, approximately one-
fifth of the 303.351 persons arrested
had a record of arrests previous to
attaining their majority.
The fingerprints of 1,795 deceased
persons were submitted to the bu
reau from May 1, 1935, to Jan. 1, 1930.
in order that they might not be bur
led unidentified.
Through a search of Its files con
taining a total of more than 5,500,
000 fingerprint cards the bureau was
able to advise coroners and law en
forcement agencies throughout the
country forwarding these ringerprlnts
as to the Identities of 457 of the de
ceased. The contributors of 6fifl of
the 1,706 fingerprint cards had no
knowledge of the Identities of the do-
ceased persons.
A check of the bureau's .files re
vealed the Identities of 158 of these
unknown dead persons. They unwit
tingly In life had provided a means
of being Identified by committing
criminal offenses. The 608 unknown
deceased persons who were burled un
named apparently led respectable
lives and had not availed themselves
of the opportunity of sure Identifi
cation by placing their fingerprints
In the civil Identification section of
the bureau, which Is maintained sep
arately and apart from the criminal
records.

Nearly 8,000 persons sent their
fingerprints to the federal bureau of
Investigation during December; 1935,
to be placed In Its civil Identifica
tion file. These personal Identification
records came from such far away
points as Yokohama, Honolulu, Eng
land, Puerto Rico and Alaska, as well
us from all sections of the United
States. The value of having a per
manent and reliable means of Iden
tification on file Is rapidly becoming
apparent, officials said.
All personal Identification records
are filed apart from the criminal rec
ords. The fact that the stigma of
criminality Is being divorced from
fingerprints Is evidenced by the re
ceipt In the bureau of 35 sets of
fingerprints taken at a meeting of
the Parent-Teachers Association, Yak
ima, Wash.
Among those actively engaged In
furthering civil Identification are the
Junior Chamber of Commeice, 8an
Francisco, and the sheriff's office in
Detroit. These organizations have sub
mitted a large number of persona)
identification fingerprint cards to be
placed in the flies.
The value of a sure means of Iden
tification Is well Illustrated In many
cases throughout the country, offi
cials point out. x
All citizens, If they so desire, may
have their fingerprints placed In the
federal bureau of Investigation's files
for personal Identification purposes In
Its civil Identification section. In this
manner they will Insure their Iden
tities for all time, safeguarding
against possible accidents, cs Us tro
phies, and attacks of amnesia.

sis, after the most serious In a long
series of Manchoukuo -Outer Mon
golia border Incidents was reported,
but eaid:
"If event move In such a way as
to compel us to ohange this attitude,
we must do what we can to cope with
the situation."
In view of the situation In Man
choukuo and north China, the wir
minister told the Associated Press,
"some reinforcement of Japanese
forces seem necessary" In the regions
involved In International tension.
RuMan Concentration Keen.
Soviet Russia haa concentrated in
eastern Siberia a number of troop
equal to the entire Japanese army on
a peace-time basis, he charged, while
on the Manchoukuo side of the bor
der, the Japanese army haa made few
reinforcements.
The Tokyo war office had estimated
the Soviet far eastern forces previ
ously at a quarter of a million men,
800 airplanes and 660 tanks.
Fresh details of the latest Incident
on the frontiers of the Japanese- ad
vised state of Manchoukuo and the
Soviet -Influenced Outer Mongolia said
the Japanese lost one officer and
seven men killed, and one officer and
three men wounded In the sharpest
fighting of the year of scattered en
counters. ,
A Japanese-Manchoukuoan column
was reported, nevertheless, to have
recaptured In the conflict yesterday
the town of Olabodka, southwest of
Lake Bor, In the disputed frontier
territory claimed by both Manchou
kuo and Outer Mongolia.
Mongols Suffer.
A Dome. (Japanese) news agency
dispatch from Hsinklng, capital of
Manohoukuo, said the Japanese gen
eral headquarters there announced
that the Mongols apparently suffered
numerous casualties in the several
hours of heavy fighting.
The Outergollans, estimated to
number at least 200 men, armed with
two cannons and numeroua machine
guns, were reported to have retreat
ed Into Mongolian territory.
The H&lnklng communique said the
Japanese - Manchoukuoans captured
one cannon, one machine gun and a
number of other Mongolian arms.
The strength of the Japanese-Man-choukuoan
force Involved was not
disclosed, but the Japanese apparent
ly bore the heaviest burden of the
fighting, the Mancboukuoan, losses be
ing set at only seven men wounded.
Although the dispatches from Man
choukuo Indicated increasing tension
and militarist demands for action on
a larger scale against Outer Mongolia
and Soviet Russia, the Tokyo gov
ernemnt leaders even the military
seemed anxious to localize the inci
dent and to avert a crisis. '
Vernacular newspapers said Prime
Minister Kelsuke Okada promised full
suport to Foreign Minister Kokl Hl-
rota In effort to p..... ..ie Russo

proportions of war.

Because Four Roses is blended by, Frankfort in
the way that 70 years of fine whiskey-making have
taught. We take several straight whiskies, each of
especially noble flavor or smoothness or body or
bouquet, and Combine tlfm into one magnificent
liquor gifted with all those qualities the seasoned
drinker seeks a liquor immeasurably greater than
any one of those u orthy straight u hiskics alone.
Lotsof drinkers know all this lots more are learn,
