Wants Everybody Registered.

Dr. Arthur McDonald, the Washington criminologist, thiDks that every man, woman and child in the country should be measured according to the Bertillon system and the resulting data preserved by a government bureau, with branches in every township. This, he says, would not ODly almost put an end to crime by making deteotion practically certain, but it would be of service in scores of ways among perfectly respectable people, like lawyers, bankers, insurance men and all others to whom questions of identity are of great importance.
