II Only 3 Per Cent of N. Y. Homicides
Expiated in Chair, Says Warden I .
4 J
^Jew York, Oct. 22.—Warden
Lawes, of Sing Sing, in an ad
dress in Summerfield, said that
in the six years from 1918 to 1923
only 3 per cent of 1,800 homi
cides in New York city resulted
in death sentences, and that 50
per cent more individuals were
killed by police than were sent
to the electric chair.
Disregard for Law.
U We are passing through
a pe
riod of disregard for law on all
sides and by all classes,” he said.
a We cannot view some forms of
lawlessness with complacency'
without a leting down, in th«(
legal machinery all along th^
line.
U The difficulty of assimilating
many foreign elements into our
nopulation and the problem of
education are closely related.
a Sixty-five per cent of inmates
of Sing Sing in the fiscal year
just ended had not reached the
eighth grade in grammar school.
And this illiteracy, is mot .due to
youthfulness. The average age
of inmates in the fiscal year

housewife of today commands a retinue of servants.
Modern industry places them at h^r disposal. Many serv
ices, which in the past meant early rising and back-breaking
toil for the women of the household, are today performed deftly
and unobtrusively by the inventions of modern science.
> Like her grandmother, the of today wishes
something woman to know
about the servants she employs. She prefers to have
them vouched for by some responsible person. So when the
manufacturer comes out squarely and advertises his vacuum
cleaners, kitchen cabinets, washing machines, electric irons and
gas stoves, she knows that he is standing behind his product.
She can feel that her confidence in the honest service of his
goods will not be abused.
That’s why it pays you to read the advertisements. Through
advertising you learn not only what is good, but what is trust
worthy. M M

An advertisement is more than a reference—it i is a
certified check of satisfaction.

Methods Defective.
“Our methods of criminal pro
cedure are defective. Conspic
uous is the signal failure of cap
ital punjsKment. This is perhaps
the most striking example of
the law holding a threat so severe
it is seldom carried out.
<< The very elements that make
it unenforceable are human ones
that can’t be overcome. That is
why this form of punishment can
never be any better.
In spite of these somewhat
pessimistic indications, I don’t be
lieve crime in general is as ram
pant as it is popularly supposed
to he. Prison commitments show
no tendency toward an increase
in proportion to the population.
Juvenile delinquency is certainly
decreasing.
