Bacteria Criminals Detecting crime among the ger m population by the fing-er print methori is now a ma_ior function of the st'lte dr.partment of health. No less than .154 examinations of this kind are done daily and 27 percent show evidence of guilt. These facts are disclosed. in the annual report of Dr. Andy Hall, stat e health d.irector. which was hand~d t 0 Governor Emm.e rson this week. ft showed that the laboratory, referred t:· as the finger Print bureau, did 129,29fi tests durin'! the last fiscal year and that 22.421 incriminated numerous b :jcteria bent upon the destruction of people all over the state. Specimens reached the laboratorv from every county in the state ran t!ing in number from three for Edward -; to 12,624 for Kane. "Finger printc; are simply evide ncL' fre,nentlv left hv criminals that l!i \'C positive identity to the culprit v~h cn matched with readings from his own palm and. disease-producing- !!erm ~; leave in the blood and tisc;;ues evidenc e ·no less incriminating of their pres ence," said Dr. Halt. 11 Each type of germ leaves signs peculiar to itself just as human rogues find it impoc;sible to cover ·u p their tracks completely. each one leaving hehind so'ne · trace of his particular character. Th e laboratory looks for evidence of this kind. more often than it seeks to finn the germ itself in specimens examined. Examine 88.939 Specimens !'Last" vear 88.939 of the specimen s examined. a matter of .68 percent were submitted for tests relating to the so cial diseases and nearlv 21 percent of this num'ber were found to he positive. Since only 33,098 cases of these infec tions were reported the volume of laboratorv tests, more than twice th e cases, indicate a verv carrful ::tnd ex tensive search for these offenciing- organisms that do so much damage in the state. Thousands of tests arc made in private laboratories of the state. · "Tn search of the tubercle bacilli 14.7S2 tests were made and nearlv 16 pt>rcent of these proved. positi\'e. - For thi" disease the P"erm itself is sought and here again the volume of lq.hor : atorv service done indicates that every nossihle means of detecting and bri!lging- under control this evil. verm are being- employed. by the medical and public health nrofessions. Doctors Gain Upper Hand "Next in volume were the 8.66~ test s made for discoverv of evidence of the typhoid fever badllus. The fact that · onlv 968 cases of that disease occurred in .the state shows how exhaustive is the campaign against that rapirlly rlisappearing <"tuse of illness. Neither doctor nor i ealth officer is prone' to take chances with these bacteria which have become so well known that they can scarcely get away with any significant volume of mischief without beinP" detected and executed. "The other tests include a search for organisms responsible for such diseases as diphtheria, trench mouth, undulant fever, tularemia, malaria and rabies in animals. "Liberal and timely use of the diagnostic laboratory _ gives the doctor an Hpper hand in the war against disease ' producing bacteria and the increasin~ .volume of tests indicates that physi· cians are not slow in taking advantage of the opportunity. Tests are done by the. state free of local cost."
