Mr. Towne takes you out of that one too “You thank her , . . politely . . . and say that you are a hard working fellow and have to be at your office early.” Boy, he knows all the answers! That is, all but one, and here it 1s: “As to your manners when you are alone with a girl, no one can advise vou. You don’t wish to be considered a stick or a prude.” There are times, though, when one can't, strictly speaking, be considered to be alone, take it from Mr. Towne “A lady once told me that a certain crude dinner companion ingisted on seeing her home one

One block from the house where they had met for the first time, the man shocked her by attempting to hold her hand in the dim little nest of the cab. “ ‘Please’, she warned him in the tones of the incomparable Beatrice Lillie.

The answer should go—take it from Mr. Towne—something like this: “Dear Helen stop Thank vou and delighted to be with you on the fifth stop All agog at being asked stop much affection Ralph Evans.” For Heaven's sake stop!

W.C. T. U. HEAD HAS TIP FOR TIPPLERS
EVANSTON, Ill, Dec. 26 (U. P.) — Tda B. Wise Smith, president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, suggested today that this year tipplers “swear off’ a few days ahead of New Year's Eve.
“Then,” she said, “they can see

CRIME MENTAL.
“SAYS SCIENTIST
You Can't Tell Offender by Looking at Him, Claims Researcher.
| WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (U. P.).— | You are only losing sleep by staying awake nights trying to figure out whether the new neighbor is a dangerous man because the shape of his head is a “typical eriminal feature” | Crime is not physical; it is mental, and there are no physical criteria for distinguishing the potential criminal in the American population. So says Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of anthropology of the (Smithsonian Institution. He pubished his conclusions today in the Journal of Criminal Psychopathology. 1000 Heads Measured
To reach this conclusion, Dr. Hrdlicka described extensive surveys, including measuring the heads of | 1000 children in one institution. He | found no evidence to support the popular contention of many prison | wardens, police officials and crime { experts that the criminal bears a physical stamp that betrays him. “Physical measurements of the ac- | tual criminal can show only that he tends to be abnormal, that there is no possibility of connecting such ab- | normality with criminality,” Dr Hrdlicka said. “Crime is not due to disorders or even abnormalities of the body, but | partly to acquired anti-social habits and partly to brain, nervous system, and internal glandular disorders.
Holds Tendency Not Inborn
“The criminal facies is not inborn. but acquired through the criminality and the reactions of the criminal with other people. Except for brute violence and actions due to brain disorders, crime itself is no organic | entity, but is a social phenomenon, differing vastly individually in degree and shadings.” Dr. Hrdlicka said that he did not believe there was a single person who has not violated some human {and natural law and would do so [again if given the sufficient incitive | conditions. He estimated that one out of each 10 men in the United States is an actual or prospective {serious offender against the codified laws.
YULETIDE GREETING TELLS OF KILLINGS
| LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26 (U. P.) — A Christmas card with the words | "This Is the Best Way Out” scrawled on it told today of the | Yuletide suicide pact of John C | Rose, 61, and his wife Clarissa, 60. Rose shot his bedridden wife through the head and then shot himself to death while kneeling over her cot. A nurse returning to their modest apartment late yesterday found their bodies. Rose pinned $80 to a note and wrote: “Give us an inexpensive funeral. This is all the money we have. Please cremate our bodies.” Friends said the wife long had been ill and
her husband, a retired printer, was despondent over finances.
CHICAGO PROFESSOR WILL TEACH AT I. U.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Dec. 26 (U. P.).—Lyle C. Bryant of the University of Chicago has been named professor of business administration in the Indiana University business school. He will take up his duties at the beginning of the February semester. | Land economics and the editorship of various research business publications will comprise his ac- | tivities at the university.
