The interesting fact was also OBJ
served by the police that the auto
bandits were teetotallers Probably
that was why they were so proficient
in their work. Common criminals
have always been drinkers OF alco-
hol. Alcoholic drinkers are forced
to stop frequently to take more
drink, alcoholic if they can find it.
but drink of some sort. They have
to stop frequently to attend to their
physical needs, and are incapable OF
continuous, answering exertion.
Now, in all the searches the police
made they found no traces of men
with a fresh supply of money in the
common drinking resorts Of crimi-
mails. no breaking open of saloons
such as always follows a successful
coup by common burglars, no aban-
doned bottles along the road. These
men were teetotallers and able to
refresh themselves by frequent stops
at roadside fountains and horse
troughs.
The bandits had habit of con-
stantly stealing fresh automobiles

Now, this rate Of speed proved that
the car had left Paris just three
hours and threequarters before it
was abandoned This was exactly
half an hour after the robbery, just
time to get out of Paris.
The police here did a clever piece
of detective work. They estimated
that the criminals had stolen a fresh
machine about half an hour after
the robbery and sent, perhaps, one
accomplice to Dieppe to get rid of
the old machine
They made inquiries, and soon
found that 70-horsepower Levas-

made that the leader of the auto

one of their band was arrested.
This staggering career of success
full crime has led DR.. Max Nordau
to make the interesting, if alarming,
suggestion that we may soon expect
to find criminals using aeroplanes.
These newer and more wonderful
scientific engines may enable daring
criminals to operate far more sue
cessfully than the automobiles have
done.
I'VE find that modern criminals
nossess a high degree of scientific
knowledge and a reckless daring
that quails at no risk of death"
writes DR.. Nordau. How can we
EXPECT policemen who are neither
scientific nor daring to deal with
them? We must revise our methods
of coping with crime to keep track
with the progress of science and ed
ucation.
Il anticipate that we shall soon
hear that the aeroplane has been
adopted by some Captain Kidd of
the air. With it may be utilized
any one Of many new scientific in
ventions. With two or three aero
planes, a band of criminals could
swoop down upon some treasure
flied building, take the occupants
by surprise, hold the doorways
against all assistance. load the treas
ure on their aeroplanes. fly away,
perhaps in the darkness of the night.
