SATURDAY NIGHT CRIMES
I _
i
Prominent Educator Says They Are
Due to Bodily and Mental
Exhaustion.
A scientist and a student of liu>
man nature is trying to solve why
men are bad on Saturday night. It
appears as if statistics show that a
large proportion of the crimes are ;
committed on Saturday night. {
President H. C. King of Oberlin j
College, advances the idea that the
reason for all crimes on the last
day of the week is due to bodily
and mental exhaustion after a
.week’s work, llis views of the
matter are interesting and besides
are logical. He says: 'Wo man
has a right to ignore his bodily
health, for at times of fatigue all
the weakest points of the body and
| mind tend to come to the surface.
It is therefore a matter of charac
ter that we have a surplus of ner- \
vous energy. In times of mental
fatigue the higher brain centers
are the lirst to give way. It is
i
therefore, no mystery that the
record of Saturday night is a trag
ic one. The man who is fatigued
is not so able to withstand tempta
tion as the man who has an abun
dance of nervous energy in store.
The fagged out man cannot be
what he ought to be. At times erf
fatigue, therefore, the man who ’
desires to preserve his character
must be doubly on his guard."
Other safe guards against evil sug
gested by the distinguished educa
tor and writer were control of the
| emotions; diversion of attention
j from an immediate temptation to I
moral principles; clearness in
| thought and statement.
SOLDERS WILL BE RAID.
Through a decision of the I'nit

land it will probably not be a great
I while before the money is in the
j pockets of the soldiers.
