of criminologists to the question

Dr. Placzek, one of the best-known |
of these authorities, says the num- |
ber of crimes that come to the knowl- |
edge of the police is greater than
in the colder months. It is not alone
the heat of the sun working on men's
passions which is responsible for
this. but the differing social and labor
conditions as well.
For example. there is more alcohol
consumed in the snmnier than in the
winter, and alcohol is alwavs a fruit-

There therefore. more idleness,
