Left.Handedness In Crime.

DIR. Austin Flint. a New York alien
list and criminologlst, has published
some interesting observations recently
In regard to "left-handedness" and
criminal propensity. The Doctor,
after a study of statistics, has discov-
cred that out Of every 100 criminals 10
are ieft-handed. and that out Of every
loo incendlaries 2S have the same ply
sical popularity. Six per cent of the
people OF the United States--or about
100000 in round numbers-are left
handed. and Of these DR.. Flint SAYS
that 1894 per cent are not to be
classed as criminals" That would
leave. inferentially, about 100000
men. women and children Of defective
moral sense. According to DR.. Flint's
logic. 1t is a great thing for this coun-
try that the other 81 per cent OF the
population ara not left-handed.

be to counterfeit the darkness above
