A method by which it is claimed to be possible to determine the age of a person by examination of a single hair was demonstrated before the convention of the International Association for Identification by Mr. Calvin Goddard, of the scientific criminal detection laboratory of North-Western University at New Orleans.

This is the newest method of scientific detection.
