superintendent of the State
Police, said today. The inability of
authorities to secure good photographs,
[or fingerprints of missing persons is
responsible for. the burial of many in
the Potter's fleld, ‘Adams asserted.
Such photographs, Adams pointed
out, serve their best purpose when. per-
ng. “Photo-
graphs and finger prints of criminaly

the result of prior arrests, but when
“John Doe” or his daughter disappear

reliable descriptions.

sons are reported as missing.
ate the inability of relatives and
friends to furnish accurate descrip
tions of missing persons, acocrding to
Adams. Those who have lived daily
with the missing person often are un-
able to accurately describe the color of
hair or eyes for the benefit of the au-
thorities. .
Spring is the season when the Wan-
derlust is most liable to grip those
tired of the realities of life, police re-
cords show. A good photograph of the
missing person is the easiest way in
which all police authorities through-
out this and neighboring states can be
put on the alert. :
“A. brunette weighing about 115
pounds with several gold fillings in her
teeth” prove an inadequate description
when polilce scan hurrying crowds in
large cities, Adams said. Unless the
missing person had intention to com-
mit suicide a description of the clothes
he or she were wearing seldom proves
of much help to the police. The per-
son who disappears with carefully laid
plans seldom is found wearing the
clothes described to police.
“The family album may have have
been the butt of a thousand jokes but
it served a useful purpose just the
same,” Adams maintained.

Five Graduates
Aided By State
At the close of the school year in
June, five Pennsylvanians will go into
the world well trained for suitable oc-
cupations
them by the bureau of rehabilitation,
Department of Labor and Industry.
These - persons, by reason ‘of physical
through assistance given
handicaps sustained through illness or
injury, were unable to pursue their vo-
cations. :
Three of these sturents were assist-
ed by the brueau while attending State
Teachers’ College. One was injured at
the age—~of eight years when he suf-
fered a: compound fracture of the thigh
bone while attempting to climb on a
wagon. Another's left arm was para-
lyzed as a result of infantile paralysis
‘when he was four years of age. He
was unable to obtain financial assist-
were supporting their mother and in-
valid father. The third young man’
was unable to find employment . be-
cause his left foot was paralyzed.
* A carpenter, aged 47, fell from a
scaffold and both feet were broken. As
he was unable to return to his regular|
employment the bureau provided a
course of training in a barber school.
Upon completion of his training he ex-
pects to go into business for himself.
‘A coal miner, ager 20, sustained a
fratcured vertebra and contusion of
the spine by a fall of rock in a mine.
As it was impossible for him to return
to his former employment the bureau
provided a course of instruction in a
business college.
There are now 23 registrants of the
bureau in colleges. of the State. Four-
teen are preparing for teaching, two
for mechanical engineering, one for in-
dustrial engineering, two for detistry,
two for pharmacy, one for journalism,
and one for physical and metallurgical
engineering.

Mr. Reisman believes that the
