Abnornality and Crime

| N FER much research and Investigation pre-
"A sumablya professor of psychology in Col
umbia university, DIR. Louis E. Ditsch, announces
that he has discosered an infallible means Of de-
tecting innate criminaity By the same means
he can detect mental or moral effectiveness, ir-
cipient, acute or chronic What is more, he can
do it "at glance" And, recently, he has been
instructing the captains and lieutenants Of the
New York police department in the System" de-
veloped through his long study of the psychology
of the criminal + 80 " "
Beware" says he, "of persons with abnormally
small hands with stubby fingers, with deeply
rdged tongues, with lopsided skulls, with freak
misshappen ears, with curiously specked eyes,
with lips thick out Of all proportion, with hair
too bushy, and with legs and arms much too small
or much too large for the rest of the body. Par
ticularly is a combination of these peculiarities
to be noted" >g'..@
A human being combining the characteristics
included in Doctor Ditsch's comprehensive list
would hardly escape notice. And it would be
taken for granted that something was the matter
with him, whether it OF criminal, mental,
moral or merely physical character. lnstinctively
he would be avoided, But what about the suspect
who possesses only one of'Doctor Ditsch's signs
''bushy" hair, for instance? And if bushy hair is
an indication Of criminal tendency or of mental or
moral effectiveness, what about some of our
famous musicians, artists, writers, sculptors,
poets? A good many of them have bushy hair,
and decidedly bushy at that. And if Paderewski,
these bright autumn afternoons should stroll
down Fifth avenue, would the doctor, with his
-infallible" SYSTEM demand his arrest? =
No one of course, denies that abnormal physical
characteristics are common among the criminal
classes" But does this argue that every human
being with abnormal physical characteristics of
one sort or another is innately criminal? Is a
nan with 'lopsided" skull instnctively an enc
my of society,"? If his eyes are "specked" is he a
menace? Doctor Ditsch says he knows, which
may be accepted as convincing not, as one
chooses. But is it not more likely that his "psy-
chology" has betrayed him into arguing a general
conclusion from exceptional cases? If all the hu-
man beings possessed Of these physical abno NAL
tiles were brought together should we not find
among them some of our best citizens?

RAIDERS
At mercy OF SEA
FIotilla That Left Here In Tow
Had Tempestuous Voyage
To Coast :

AdVices received by yesterday 5
mail from San Francisco give the de-
tails of the tempestuOus voyage of the
three Fclass submarines and their
tows from Honolulu to the Coast,
which ended on November 10. Heavy
gales and mountainous seas menAced
the flotilla thirteen out of the fifteen
days of its trip. Eyeryman, aboard the
FL, F-2 and Fig was Adreadfully sea.
sick practically the entire voyage, and
some of the sailors on the larger craft
Tho cruiser Maryland, the naval tug
Iroquois and the supply ship Nanshan
also was afflicted with severe attacks
of NAL de mer.
Very different from the trip from
the Coast to Hawaii Was the return
voyage of the submarines. On the way
down the best weather was encountered
but on the trip to the Coast the Paci
fic was at its stormiest and the sub
marines, although not submerged inten-
tionally, were under water most of the
fifteen days il took for the trip.
Something Doing Every Minute
From the time Diamond Head was
abeam until the calm waters in the
lee Of the Marin County shore was
reached, there were things doing every
minute. The principal work was hold
ing on and splicing tow lines for the
little boats straining at the ends Of
the lines were heavy to pull and three
times the FL broke away from the
Iroquois while the F-3 was lost by the
Maryland once. The Nanshan with the
F-2 in tow was more fortunate and they
stayed together through the entire trip.
The second day out the Iroquois lost
her tow when the line parted in a
heavy sea and twice afterwards the
| little boat got away. On one of these
occasions the steel shaCkle at the end
of the tow line snapped and then a
small boat had to be put over from the
IrOquois to repair the damaged part.
This was hazardous business but was
accomplished without accident except
some scratched hands and thorough
soaking of the small boat s crew.
Maryland Loses It's Tow
The Maryland lost her tow the third
day out from Honolulu but recovered it
without difficulty and for the balance
of the trip held on without accident.
The reason given for the greater trou-
BILE the Iroquois had with her tow was
on account of the naval tug being so
much shorter than the Nanshan and
Maryland that in seaway she was
almost as lively as the submarine and
the two working against each other
on either end Of the tOw-liue something
had to give and the tow line did it.
- The boats arrived in San Francisco
none the worse for the wear and the
crews, after a chance for some little
| exercise on terra fiTma and some real
sleep and food, were as good as new.
