French Professor Says Heat Stirs Up Criminal Tendencies

Paris, Augns16 fUP)-Take a cold bath and don't commit murder dur- ing these hot summer days. advises Dr. Jacques Vinchon. noted French professor. who planes the present crime wave in France on the ex- cessive heat.
 Tt is very noticeable on hot days that many men who are usually most polite and tranquil become suddenly irritable" declares Pro- lessor Vinchon in a scholarly eX- positign on criminal tendengies as infuenced by heat. "stormt .rdfl cussions disputes and sfst' fights are tndulged in on the slightest provocation. People are losing their tempefs over nothing these warta days. It can all be attributed to the sweltering weather
 Plenty of cold baths with a few hours of quiet repose would daIm peoples nerves, he contends. When mans nervous system is relaxed there is not much danger of his committing an unpremeditated crime, argues the professor.
 ''The effect of heat is a we'll known fact" be continues. t"Even in the 18th century physicians ob- served that sailors of northern climes who returned from tropical countries had lost their good dis positions. Nervous persons, with already frayed tempers, become much worse in weather which disturbs people not accustomed 10 it. And in this frenzy, induced bv heat, normal persons commit crimes Of which they otherwise Woull never be guilty"
 Professor Ninchon in his cxposi- tion gives a detailed study of numerous crimes committed during the past few weeks of extremely hot weather. He shows in prac- tically all cases the accused crim- inal had not taken q cold bath the day of the crime.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 13.- Alaskans are attempting to make one of their fondest dreams come true-a dream of highway from Alaska to the United States.
 An organized movement is under way to interest the Canadian and American governments in the con- struction of approximately 1000 miles of a proposed 1,700 mile road between Fairbanks, the Golden Heart of Alaska" and Seattle, Wash.
 The estimated cost is $7,000000. About 700 miles of highway along the proposed road already has been constructed.
 Such highway would be the only overland connecting link be- tween the United States and the territory. At present the only transportation is by steamer, al though an airplane passenger and express service was started this summer.
 The Alaska International High way association, sponsors of the project, believe the road would open valuable mineral land at pres

ent inaccessible. It would enable tourists to visit Alaska by auto mobile.
 Starting at Fairbanks the road would follow the present Richard son highway 100 miles to McCarty. From there new route to the Canadian line must be built. Vir- tually all new construction would be necessary to Hazelton, some 1000 miles from Fairbanks. From Ha- zelton the route would follow 600 miles of existing highway to Van couver, B. O., and Seattle.
 Branches from the main route would be constructed to Juneau and Ketchikan on the coast of Southeast Alaska. From Fairbanks the coast can be reached over the 371 mile Richardson highway. The proposed road goes through coun- try where the snow fall is light and if traffic were sufficiently heavy it could be kept open all year.
