BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

10y liz AVuAS AIo "AS~h
A MOST interesting type Of indi'
"A vidual Is the psychopath.
Often, also, he IL q most danger.
Gus type.
The psycopath is not insane, nor
is he feeble-minded. nor is he nor
NAL. He is a sort Of betwixt'and-
betwee- person who is usually diff
ficult % recognize and to classify.
Yet there can be no question
that the psychopaths constitute a
very large proportion OF the crimi-
nal population as we'll as those
peculiar men and women who DO
not seem to fit in somehow with
the established order Of things and
who are continually In trouble OF
one kind or another.
II must be stressed at the out
set that the chief difficulty with
the psychopath lies in his emo
tional life rather than in his In
tellectual.
In other words, q psychopath
may be normal, intellectually
speaking. Indeed, he may be
above the average so far a. his
mental processes so.
The outstanding trait Of the pSy'
chopath, however, is his emotional
inadequacy.
If one were to try and define
emotional inadequacy one could
say that it is q kind Of emotion
that responds to any given stimu'
lus, not in an ordinary. but in an
extraordinary way.
II a child, let us say. breaks its
dearly beloved doll and cries, the
ordinary response Of the average
individual would be- one of tender.
ness toward the child. A psychic
path, however. might not feel
tenderness or sympathy Of any
sort whatsoever. It might leave
him absolutely cold and indiffer'
ent. Indeed, the incident might
react upon him in a still more ex'
traordinary manner and make MIN
angry, bitter or even cruel
Not every psycopath, mind you'
would react this way. Another
might react normally to the child
situation. but distinctly unemo-
tional to the death of his mother
or his sweetheart.
The point is that no one can
foretell how a psychopath 10 60

And that is why, especially

ment is high, thew constitute such
a frightful menace to society.
Every now and then the coun-

parent motivation of any kind
such as revenge. jealousy or what
ever. Theses crimes are usually
committed by psychopaths.
And the worst Of 1t il that the
law does not yet recognize this
division Of ahnormality. 1t recog'

minded, but not the psychopath.
Yet the psychopath IL neither
one nor the other although he may
readily be more dangerous than
either.
Let a psychopath do what he
likes, give him wha. he wants,
and he IL not likely to cause
trouble.
But cross him or let him come
into conflict with law and order
and established customs, and he
can become q highly dangerous

LISTEN WORLD!

By Elsie Robinson

MIR. ALBERT WEEKS con-
Wk sidered himself a free man.
He'd get mad as hops II you told
him he wasn't.
But it's the truth.
No black Congo slave was ever
more deeply in bondage than Mr..
Albert Weeks.
And the queer part of 1t is, he
has forged the chains himself.
Forged them from little habits
OF self-indulgence.
Mr.. Weeks has a favorite chair.
And the evening Is entirely
spoiled II someone sits in his
favorite chair.
Also he has certain ideas about
newspapers. He likes to open the
paper first. Sunday morning Is
utterly ruined il the children get
at the newspaper first.
He has favorite dishes. Mr..
Weeks was an only child and his
mama allowed him to have favor
lite dishes. He did not like car
rots. Nor spinach. Nor rice
pudding. Nor beef stew. Nor
dozens of other things. He ex.
pressed his dislike by the simple
expedient of splitting out such
foods as did not appeal to his
fancy. Or Strengthening out in a
purple fit and kicking the table.
Whereupon his doting mama con.
cluded that precious little Albert
had a weak stomach and could
only eat certain rare and especi.
ally prepared articles.
So Mr.. Albert Weeks arrived
at manhood with favorite dishes.
And life is Just one long effort
to get the dishes Mr.. Albert
Weeks favors.
Clothes. too-he has particu.
1arly strong ideas about clothes.
A striped suit is anathema to Mr..
Weeks. He almost doubts the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-03-30

honesty Of q man who would
wear a striped suit. Or q red tie.
Red ties are another thing that
darken existence for Mr.. Albert
Weeks.
But when it comes to shaving.
there's where he really does his
stuff. Shaving Is almost a re-
ligious rite for Mr.. Weeks He
has theories about everything
connected with shaving. He
MUST have a certain make Of
razor, a certain shaving SOAP
and woe betide you If you offer
him paste instead OF soap. His
mirror must hang in q certain
light and tho water must be OF
a certain Temperature. And I'M
less these matters are arranged
to Mr., Weeks convenience you
may be sure the whole house
knows about 1t.
And. of course. when 1t comes to
his office Mr.. Weeks has as many
fussy notions as a pup has fleas.
Only he doesn't call them fussy
notions. He calls it System. He
prides himself on being a Sys'
tematic Man.
Mr., Weeks isn't Systematic
Man. He's a. slaVe-hound for
life in petty shackles Of his own
making.
Don't put shackles on your life.
Don't have Favorite Chairs
Favorite Foods. Favorite Corners,
Favorite Methods Of doing things.
Be able to eat any food, sit in
any chair. shave in any Lighter
at a pinch go happily unshaVed-
Keep life open and uncluttered.
Keep yourself supple, adaptable.
Only by doing so will you grasp
the full mystery Of wonder and
power and joy Of existence and he
really free to command your situa-
tons.
