What amazed the 200 police who

was the complete lack of motive
on the murderer's part. Thus this
crime became one of the most
dastardly in Brooklyn's history.

Researcher Advances
New Crime Theory:
A Lack Of Ozone!

1t may be the absence OF
''aran'' in the atmosphere which
prompts a criminal to murder,
according to a theory advanced
in the current ISSUE, "1st pub
1ished. Of the Northwestern
University Journal of Criminal
Law and Criminology.
The aran hypothesis, express
ed by DIR. Manfred Curry in an
article in the Journal is open to
some skepticism, but is based
upon certain plausible assump-
tons and facts, the editors
state. Writing ON "The Relation
ship of Weather Conditions, Fa-
cial characteristics, and Crime"
DR.. Curry is a researcher in the
fields of aerodynamics and bio
climates.
He explains his assumption
this way. In his studies, he has
learned that the sensation ex-
perienced in a closed telephone
booth-the feeling of lack of air,
nervousness, -restlessness, in
creased body temperature, per-
SEPARATION, and sometimes even
fear-is caused by a lack OF
ozone-like substance, which he
named aran, the lack Of which
causes the sensation described.
He states also that the amount
Of aran depends upon the direc-
ton of the wind. South winds
are accompanied by low, and
and north winds by high, con-
centrations of the substance, he
says. People Of one particular
type. who are unhappy when
south winds blow and the aran
supply is skinny, are least like
1y to be criminals, especially
murderers, he believes. He bases
his hypothesis on a study of
many thousands of individuals.

Indian language
Origin Study
Is Under Way
By Claude Shaeffer, Curator

By Claude Shaefer, Curator
DR.. Claude Schaeffer, curator
of the Museum of the Plains In
dian, is exploring the possibilities
for a new exhibit on the Indian
languages of Montana and Wy
oming. There is more linguistic
diversity in this region than is
commonly thought. Four great
language families, each differing
widely from the other, occur
here.
Algonkian is spoken in varying
dialects by the Blackfeet, Ara
paho, Gros Ventre, Cheyenne and
Cree Rocky Boy. The ASSN
boine and Crow are Siouan-speak-
ing. The Flathead and Pend a..
Orielle belong to the Salishan
family while the Wind River

Plains tribes. AS a result an in.
dividual's knowledge of history
was limited to the events of his
own life, those of his parents
and occasionally of his grandpar-
ents'. but seldom more.
The first attempts to record
the Indian languages were made
by early white explorers, miss
ionaries and colonists. Since
these tongues frequently includ-
ed sounds not found in the Euro
pean languages, the results Of
ten failed to reflect accurately
the native phonetic patterns.
Some Of the best work was
done by the Jesuit Fathers dur
ing the course Of their efforts to
convert the Indian. Grammars
and dictionaries compiled from
various eastern tribes in the 18th
and 10Th centuries have come
down to US from this source. The
classic example of purely native
endeavor in this field is the sys-
TEN of quasi-syllabic symbols de.
vised by Sequoyah, the Cherokee
Cadmus, which enabled his PEG.
pie to write their own language.
A somewhat related method Of
recording is that of the Cree

None of the aforementioned
tribes ever reduced their Ian
guages to true writing, i. e. the
substitution of sy m b o. S for
sounds. This was due not to any
innate incapacity on the part of
the Indian, but rather to the fact
that his ancestors for thousands
of years were isolated from the
great centers of civilization in
the Old World.
The alphabet was developed
somewhere in the Near East and
knowledge of this great innova-
ton arrived in the New World
with the first Europeans. Con-
sequently, the Indian was de-
pendent upon oral tradition, sup
plemented by certain Photograph
ic memory aids for his know
ledge of the past.
Some tribes recorded the age
of a person by tying a knot in a
cord each year. Others preserved
a memory of past events by peck
ing rude pictures upon stone
(petroglyphs), or painted them
upon bark or animal skins (pic-
tographs). The latter is repre-.
scented by the year count of the
