Are Al Men Murderer.r

Says a student OF human nsture:
Half the men you meet have homi-
cidal tendencies at times. 1t is tho ma
ture of man. Nothing but civilization
and the self control that comes Of it
prevents our killing each other on
slight pretexts. The so called crime
waves are probably the result of gener-
al conditions that tend to throw men
on their mental guard and reduce them
10 natural savagery"
