Dropped to earth from heaven above,
Like angel souls sent down

NEW SCIENCE AND OLD
HUMAN NATURE

Detectives have always relied upon the
involuntary tendency of crlmlnes Is 10 give
a clue to their own identity. lt might oe
nv leaving on the scene of the crime a tell
tale footprint or more substantial object.
II might be by indiscreet conversation.
One .of the strangest qurks OF human
nature is the apparently irresistible I'M
pulse to boast about deed pubic know
ledge of which means loss OF liberty or
worse for the boaster. So general is the
leaving or the giving of some clue 70 ms
crime by the commItter OF 1t that the
theory has arisen that crime cannot be
committed without there beng some
trace of the criminal. The scientific mind,
however. has naturally striven for more
scientific basis for the detection OF crlml-
mails than the chance revelation by the
criminal. Hence the greatest triumph ID
the history Of criminology-th fnger-
print test.
But detectives cannot afford to dismiss
human nature and rely solely upon science
lust vet. Today we read of the ldentlflca-
ton of two murderers by means OF a
coInparison of finger prints left on the
automobi e in which their victims had
been riding with finger prints OF the sus-
pected pair. The identification was com
pete The mystery IS s0ived. But now
did the murderers fall under the suspicion
that led to the comparison of finger prints!
Well, they couldn't keep still about the
crime. Old human nature and its apparent
Iv inherent tendency TO do the wrong
thing gave science the Indispensable clue

II is necessary to again correct The
Morning News in order to keep the public
properly informed. For instance, 1T re-
ported on Saturday that the indications
In Delaware are for Republican, vi :
tory, when there are no such signs nor
omens In this State outside Of the secret
chambers of the Young Mems Republican
Club. There is not the slightest interest
among the party voters here for Harding,
while his running mate is like cold
douche. The enthusiasm and interest IN
the Grand Old Ticket this year was ae-
curately summarized by q Republican the
other day, and quoted In these columns:
81 don t care for Harding, but am going
to like the men he has around him.
Charles Warner also reports brave chances
for the Republicans in Delaware. We
don't dispute Mr.. Warmers sincerity, but
it only goes to show that in politics q
man can find what he is looking for, nc

The Concordia sentinel. (Vidalia, Concordia Parish, La.) 1882-current, 1920-04-03

THERE is almost as much variety
l. in party frocks as in the people
who wear them-which makes an as
semblage of dancers Immensely inter-
esting. 1t is here that well-dressed
women match up their taste in party
frocks, and have most opportunity to
indulge in individual fancies; they
have given themselves the benefit OF
much latitude in style. On any dane
ing floor there are draped gowns so
long that they only reveal the toes, and
other frocks so short that they barely
conceal the knees.
Materials influence the designers IN
their choice of styles. The heavy bro
cades and rich materials in heavier
silk weaves, are chosen for the draped
gowns that follow the lines of the
figure, and many net and lace frocks
are made in this style. Lighter-weight
and supple silks are chosen for
straight-line dresses, as crepe de chine,
georgette and soft satins. Taffeta and
organdie lend themselves to the bout
