located her. Then began the ordeal
of bringing up the gold. The divers
descended again and again, until they
had recovered most of the gold coins.
Worn out by their efforts, they were
about to weigh anchor when they no
ticed large number of sails on the hori-
zon.
Pirates! They recognized the sails as
the junks of the dreaded Chinese bandits
of the sea. Evidently they had watched
the operations and had determined to
land on their prey only after all of the
treasure had been recovered. Then be-
gan one of the most thrilling chases in
history The breeze died down and the
three hardy salvagers saw that the
pirates were overtaking them. They got
out their oars and rowed frantically until
it seemed that their backs would break.
They had almost abandoned hope when
a breeze came to their aid. This was
their salvation-although the pirates re-
fused to give up so rich booty until
sundoWn. Then darkness provided a
haven for the three exhausted Salvagers
They reached Shanghai unnerved from
the long chase, but with the $250, 900 in
gold.
Less romantic than the story of the
Hamilla Mitchell but infinitely more diff
ficult, is the project now under foot to
recover the 5000 900 treasure that sank
to Davy Jones' locker with the Egypt.
This unfortunate ship went to the bot
tom in 1922 when a French steamer col
lided with her of the coast of Brittany in
a fog.

Hope for the recovery of the Egypt's
gold was practically abandoned when it
was discovered that she lay 400 feet be-
low the oceans surface. Although the
great depth seemed to doom any salvage
scheme to immediate failure, several at
tempts were made to obtain the treasure

and huge graphing irons were lowered.
The purSer'S safe was recovered and with
it the key to the bullion room.
It was determined to blast a path to
this room and then lift it en- masse to
the surface. The divers superintended
the blasting and finally the room was ex-
posed. But then came the storms of

The Lusitania expedition takes courage
from the success that came to the sal
vagers of the Laurentlc, the British ship
that was torpedoed in 1917 on her way
to America with $25, 900, 600 worth of gold
to pay for munitions. For seven years
the finest divers in the empire tried to

Bad weather, gales, crumbled hull,
Sunken passages and tons of debris did
not deter them. Year after year they
plodded on continuing even when one
season netted them only seven bars of

by himself. But it is not long until the
situation in which he finds himself
smacks of reality rather than fancy.
Burdened with the care for or disposal
of his victim, the one big weakness in
the makeup of all criminal minds now
was a criminal who did not suspect that
somehow, somewhere, some one knows all
about his crime. At times he even heSi-
tateS to make further plans. He becomes
suspicious and SuperStitiouS in turn. To
try to communicate with the home of
his victim is something he had not fully
calculated at the time he took possession
of the body. He is now confronted with
a task far more difficult than the act of
abducting. His fancies of social isolation
are now confronted by the actualities of
social organization.
We turn now to the interest in the
Lindbergh case, which has stirred to its
depth the feelings of a Nation. These
feelings will, of course, subSide whether
or not the hoped-for and prayed-fOr
child is returned. 1t is futile to make a
prophecy concerning the fate of the
child. BY the time this writing goes to
press, something definite may be known.
In one respect the Lindbergh abduc-
ton differs from previous abductions.
No such publicity has been given case
of kidnapping in the past Thoughtful
persons wonder whether or not this
course has been pursued with wisdom.
This question, I think, also belongs to
psychology.
On the whole, opine that the use OF
the radio and press reports have not hurt
the case in the least. The abductorS,
whoever and wherever they be, might
hope to return the child for ransom, upon
hearing the information and misinfor-
nation about the case. Silence is the
one thing that drives a criminal to ex-
tremes. Publicity or no publicity, the
abductors know that the return OF the
child is vastly more difficult than was it's
abduction
However, one thing is certain: The
Lindbergh abduction is a national issue
aside from it's sentimental bearings. The
very fact that Col. Lindbergh has sought
the services of the underworld should be
regarded as the most important of all
the facts here selected for review. 1t
may appear to the reader that 1 have
exaggerated the social aspects of the sub
ject. The fact that a bereaved family
receives the voluntary aid of the Federal
Government should be sufficient reply.
Extenuating remarks are useless.
We are just beginning to realize that
social isolation has become definitely Or
ganiZed. Another society threatens the
life of our established government. The
social deficits of our unadjusted citizenry
appears at the present time to balance
the social assets of our adjusted citizenry.
And the end is not yet.

alongside of phrenology, palmistry, nu-
merolOgy, astroIogy and host of other
worthless by-paths to the citadel of the
mind. Ignorance and gullibility alone
account for their present-day following.
The plain fact is that there is no art
to read the minds construction in the
face" We most rigidly exclude all physi-
cal traits as such in our quest for crini-
nal traits. We must learn to look for
fundamentals instead of incidentals. We
pass at once to another question:
What is the most universal Of all hu-
man traits? My answer is a more or less
misunderstanding of the social world in
which we find ourselves. We must con-
slider this question in terms of more or
less. With this fact in mind it is pos
sible to talk about averages and devia-
tions therefrom-
Fortunately, the majority of human
beings find the social order fairly con-
genial. But there are those among us
who for various and sundry reasons fall
to make acceptable adjustments. Their
number is increasing from year to year.
AS a rule, these maladjustments get un-
der headway during the early years OF
life. There can be no doubt that the
home life of the individual is an i'm
portant factor. School life and general
economic conditions are also powerful.
A series of disappointments, especially
in the early years, tend to break down
the will to try to get along in complex
society such as ours. In consequence, the
criminal in the making comes to have
a distorted notion of the social order.
He fails to understand society and so
comes to misunderstood himself A false
philosophy of life is thus engendered.
Sooner or later this philosophy finds ex-
preston in terms of miSdirected or vio-
lent behavior.
In order to Illustrate my point, refer
to the career of Harvey Logan, whose
activities as bandit baf1ed the detec-
tives of the Western States up until
about 1910, when he was finally captured
As boy, Logan was accused OF mis-
demeanor. He was innocent. The SEN
tence he received left an abiding feeling
of social injustice ON his mind. True to
the findings of modern psychology, he
suffered from memories. Therefore, he
deliberately chose to follow a criminal
career which conformed with his idea
of his relations to his fellowmen. AS in
most eases, an asocial philosophy of life

Professor of Psychology, University of Maryland.

became for him the source of those devi-
ations from the average which distin-
guished the criminal from the nom
criminal.
Why do criminals ignore and some
times defy the laws of the land? My
answer is that no man-made law can
hope to be as coercive as the laws of
nature. In saying this, refer especially
to the laws regulating kidnapping. If a
person is so devoid of human considera-
tion as to prey upon the human emo
tions, human aspirations and human
prospects, what act of legislation can
hope to restrain him? Legislation is
merely q conscious attempt to restrain
a group which has failed to develop in
itself those emotions by which society
is maintained. No matter where you
turn in your attempt to understand the
criminal mind, you are eventually driven
to a study of social forces. The criminals
failure to make normal contact with So
ciety leads to his construction of alb
normal mental mechanismS.
What are these mechanisms? Habits,
Of course. Habits of thinking These are
the most solid of all the foundations of
all forms of behavior and conduct
\h/E come now to the kidnaper himself.
His business is a speciality, a spe-
cialty with an ancient history. 1t repre-
sentS the first form of getting even"
with real or imaginary hostile world.
In ancient times warning groups were on
the lookout for hostages. Their return
meant terms" There was not merely
power but drama in the game 1t be-
came rule of warfare. The kidnaper
is essentially an alien with his detective
instincts overdeveloped. In the begin
ming he parades himself in his imagina-
tion before his fictitious victims. His ego
expands. Having set out upon a crimi-
nal career, he chooses that particular
crime which promises quick and rich re-
turns. That crime is the holding of the
body for ransom.
He fearlessly contemplates the future.
He reasons that if he fails to get terms"
he may dispose of this hostage. Being
dramatically minded, he embraces the
chances he is about to take. Being ego
tistical, he rationalizes all prospects of
failure out of his mind Once he has
seized the victim, he reasons that any
extremity he may take is matter of
self-preServation. He juStifieS this belief
ON the basis of his experience in living
