Compulsory Imprints Will
Cut Criminality, Bring
Swifter Justice, Bureau
of Investigation Avers
WASHINGTON (UP) If finger
prints were as compulsory as birth
certificate there would be less crime
In the United States and Justice
would be swifter, the bureau of In
vestigation of the department of
Justice believe.
Officials admit, however, that the
public will have to be educated to
the Idea before any federal finger
print law can be passed.
"Law-abiding citizens are beginning
to realize that fingerprinting may
mean death to a criminal, but that
It also may mean life and liberty to
an innocent man, woman or child,"
aald an assistant to the director of
the bureau.
"A tourist losing his passport In a
foreign country could more readily
obtain a duplicate If hts fingerprints
were on file In Washington. Every
police station has fingerprinting
equipment, and this enn be done In a
matter of minutes. As soon as they
are checked at headquarters a new
passport could be Issued without
further delay."
Advantages Clulmed
This Is not the only advantage of
fingerprinting registration for law.
abiding citizens, It Is pointed out.
If there were sufficient demand by
the public, fingerprints could be made
at home and forwarded to head
quarters, but it would be far easier
to file the fingerprints shortly after
the birth certificates and thereby, In
thousands of Instances, prevent crime
rather than detect It, official argue.
Human beings, many of them at least,
would think twice before committing
a, crime If they knew that their fin
gerprints were on file at "headquart
era" and that ttielr conviction and
punishment would be swift.
J. Sdgar Hoover, director of the
bureau of Investigation, says:
"Long since the time has passed
when criminals hid In dark alleys or
skulled In dark basements. The day
of the mask and the dark lantern is
ever. Crime Uvea next door to you.
Crime often plays bridge with you.
Crime dances with your sons and
daughter. These persons of the under
world aro not simply poor boys and
girls or moral Invaltda, as the super
entlmentnllsU would have us be
lieve. They are marauders, who
murder for a headline, rats crawling
from their hideouts to gnaw at the
vitals of clvlluitton. True, they are
dreesed aa we are dressed; they' live
m we live and often tar better, owing
to the rich rewards of their 'profes
sion,' but their standards of life are
those of pigs In a wallow, their out
look that of vultures."
Technique Developed
Fingerprint can be "lifted" from
playing cards, from cloth, from glass
and silver; from wood, metal, leather
or paper Anywhere that a finger
print Is suspected, a certain type of
"dust" can be sprinkled over the sur
face which will rovenl It If It la there,
no matter how faint It mny seem.
In addition to the 13.010 finger
prints of men and women who are
viewed by the bureau of Investigation
as the most dangeroua and deadly of
the army of more than 3.000.000 per
eons whose fingerprint records are
elear and who are and will continue
to be. in all likelihood, law-abiding
eltlrens,
Twenty per cent of 30th century
crime la committed by persons not
old enough to vote, statistics show.
These minora should be home play
ing In their own backyards, but In
stead they are out stealing automo
biles and committing nearly a thou
sand murders a year and tens of
thousands of burglaries and larcenies,
officials declare.
Among the arguments advanced for
universal fingerprinting are:
PlngerprlnU never lie and no two
ver are alike.
There are nine classifications of
prints that are foolproof, and Into
these will fit the Imprints of the
fingers of 1,840. 185,3ftf all he peo
ple In the world.
Burning will not change finger
prints. Scar tissue will show, and If
the skin grows back again It will be
exactly the same aa before the Injury.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Auff. 14.
AP) An attack on the new deal as
"the most expensive amateur hour In
history" hy Frank Knox, vice presi
dential candidate, who also advocated
a "real share the wealth movement'
of widespread employ ownership
of stock, opened a drive by Repub
licans to recapture West Virginia.
The nominee, sneaking before hts
party's state convention and an over
flow crowd of several thousand per
sons, added:
"And In November, the American
people will lve nil those new deal
performers the (tons."
Knox declared there had been a
.strong movement In the direction of
wider Hock distribution amon work -era,
but that this had been halted
"only temporarily by the depression.
He also amplified hta party's posi

"The relentless forces In the Amer

Republican administration will en

PHILADELPHIA (UP) Medical
science once again has come to the
aid of mankind with the discovery
of a new and powerful non-poisonous
germ killer.
The finding of silver oxide powder,
produced from any sliver salt by
addition of sodium or potassium hy
droxide, bridges a great gap in the
use of silver as a medicine, medical
men say. The oxide, a brown pow
der, was described for the first time
at a meeting of the American Philo
sophical society In session In Philadelphia.
The germicidal, the chemistry of
which was explained by John J.
Muller, professor of chemistry at the
University of Pennsylvania, where the j
discovery was made, combines silver I
nitrate and collodlal sllyer. I
Silver nitrate, a salt, la probably
one of the most potent germicides,
but burns. Collodlal silver Is mild,
but lacks much of the metal's germi
cidal ability.
The new powder, when mixed with
paraffin, makea a salve for external
use and It will dissolve In water , for
use Internally.
A test proving Its non-toxlcatlng
properties was made substituting the
germ killer for drinking water and
glen to baby chicks. On the "silver
: water" the chicks grew to full feather
and showed no signs of retardation or
bad effects.
Tests for medicinal effects were
made In conjunction with Dr. Wil
liam Lentz, of the department of
veterinary medicine at the university,
but the findings were not published.
Prevloua experiments with various
forms of silver caused argyr.'a, or
deposit of metallic silver in the skin,
turning a. person a ghastly gray color.
The new brown powder caused noth
ing of the like to happen.
This new discovery has been placed
on the most delicate membranes, In
cluding the eye, without Irritation.
It has been given only to animals by
the mouth, and cats, dogs, horses and
cows have been cured of Intestinal
Infections without 111 effects.
Muller discovered the germicidals
remarkable and unexpected solubility
In water and other substances while
making pure silver oxides for non
medical uses.

LES - 6AINTES - MARIES - DE - LA
MER, Prance (UP) This ancient
town on the Mediterranean, one of
the most picturesque In Prance, la In
danger of disappearing In danger so
Imminent that the prefect of the
department of the Bouches-du -Rhone
h&n been asked to do something
about It,
The sea Is eating Its way Into the
coast. Already the city proper, once
three-quarters of a mile from the sea

The town la almost entirely sur
rounded by water. To the south Is
the Mediterranean, to the west the
salt lake of Lea Lones, to the east
the Imperial salt lake. Both of these
bodies of water are separated from
the sea only by a thin strip of shore,
through which narrow channels are
beginning to be cut.
To Be Swallowed
It will not be long. If nothing Is
done, until the barriers break down,
the lakes become part of the Medi
terranean, and Les-Salntes-Marles-
de-la-Mer, a small promontory on
the end of the neck of land bearing
the road from Aries, gradually will

Whereas other famous old cities of
Prance have been spoiled for the

Sn lutes-Maries -de - la - Mer has re

It Is In the Camargue, the desolate
region of salt marshes In the delta
of the Rhone's multiple mouths,
where the only thing that grows Is
cattle fodder. There the cowboys of
Prance live, armed not with lasso,
but with a long pike. Large stretches
are practically uninhabited, Les

Chief attraction of the town Is the
curious fortified church of the 12th
century with beetling walla within
which worshippers could, In case of
need, become defenders. In the
church Is housed the Black Virgin,
which the gypsies come regularly to
worship. In pilgrimages from all parts
of Europe.
