Japan Advertiser. Tokio.--Keep your
eye on the bald-headed man, for he Is
apt to be . criminal Of the very worst
type. Such admonishment comes -
the result Of an inv3stigation made by
DR.. Kinso eaxa Of the Fukuoka Prison,

vealed that the first ofienses Of the ha-
bitual criminals are generally COM
mttted around the ages Of IS to 10,

come criminals Of the most, wicked
type. These potential habitual crimi-
mails, he discovered. are mostly under
