Taking and recording the finger prints of approximately 12,500,000 children under 5 years of age in the United States would be a formidable task, even divided as it would be under the proposal, among the several States and municipal governments.

If a baby is stolen, even a few months makes it | difficult to identify a child positively With the finger prints‘of the child on | record there could be no mistake.” | There are considerably more than 2,000,000 school children in the United States between the ages of 5 and 6 s and in the case of a great dis- aster, means of positive identification would be impossible in many cases. The boards of education in every city and town should haye the prints of all school children, solely for the pur poses of identification, Mr. Bennett | declared. Every child attending the public and private schools must be vaccinated and have birth certificates recorded, so the Federal Finger Print Association argues that the finger prints of school children are equally as essential. Aid Wealthy Persons. ‘It is not generally known that many wealthy persons have their children’s finger prints taken and filed away in safe deposit vaults, as a pre- caution against kidnaping,” Mr. Ben- nett said.

Few hospitals in the United States have absolute means of identifying new-born infants, Mr. Bennett pointed out, though some take the footprints of infants when born.

Positive identification was impos- sible in each case. In that disaster the bodies of 164 adults and children were buried without being identified.

One who bears e gone through a very inten- slve training in self-dscipline in addi- tion having had a general and cultural education, Swami Yogananda, who has been lecturing in this city for some time, is a graduate of the University of Cal- cutta. He is a member of the Council of Savants in India, of which body he was formerly vice president, and he is considered one of the foremost educators in India. It is the swami's life work, he says, to teach the “art of living” by means of the balanced life—harmonious devel- opment of the physical, mental and moral nature—and to instruct others in the method he has discovered of consciously and by properly exerted will power recharging the body with energy. it is 1o ve come,’ the swami, ate of any cult, but as one who wishes to heip all men to achieve the balanced life, to learn the value af concentration and medi- tation and to have the realization of God in man.” At his opening lecture he declared that India, because of its age-long study and aevelopment of “spiritual technique,” had a message of value for the Occidental mind, which had focused its attention strongly on ma- terial things. According to Mr. L. J. Fossey, gen eral manager of the Washington Auditorium, all records for attendance in the Auditorfum have been broken and hundreds were turned away the opening night, January 9.

This configuration is read as not favorable to initiative, and although it is the beginning of the week, post- ponement of important matters is wise. Trouble over patents is indicated as likely to retard more than one im- portant invention. Intuition should not be trusted under this rule, for there may be a tendency toward sudden personal dis- likes while Uranus is adverse.
