PRACTICAL CRIME PPREVENTION Major crimes of violence have de creased materially in New York City since 1925. acording to a report by the Baumes Commission. Where there were 308 cases of murder and manslaughter in 1923. the number dropped to 289 in 1926, and in 1927 went down still further, to 27S. Of the Baumes Law privisions the most important is that which pro vides life imprisonment for criminalr on fourth felony conviction. In New York it has proven a restraining in fluence, and a thoroughly justified measure. Logic would tend to show that a law-breaker who attemptr four major ravages is a habitual crim inal who must be permanently re moved from society. A modern movement in crime sup pression and prevention has been to ward gathering crime statistics that afford a ready and accruate survey of the crime situation. This work cannot be overestimated, and Senator Knight, chairman of the subcommis sion, says of it: "The commission believes that complete and accurate statistics of crimes committed is abso lutely necessary to determine the cause of crime and to permit the en actment of the best legislation tt prevent and punish the commissior of crime. New York has demonstrated the success that comes from scientifically and practically fighting the menace of the criminal. Quick justice and sure punishment are certain deterrents.

You Can't Feed Horses Shavings What good oats was to old Dobbin, Phil lips "66" is to your car or gas engine. Folks soon found that the better a horse was fed the better he worked. And so it is with your car, truck or gas engine. You can use just any gas and get just any kind of results. Or you can use Phillips "66" and get speed, pep and POWER. The cost is the same in both cases. W. O. Gillespie Says: You are able to get Phillips "66" because the U. S. Oil Works has acquired the properties of the Farmers Paint and Oil Company in Murdock, including a bulk station which has never been operated. W. O. Gillespie is local manager. He knows that the U. 2. Oil Works handles only high-grade products. He knows, too, that Phillips "66" is a different gas oline, at no higher price. Service to Your Door Phillips "66" is the ideal gasoline for farm use. It starts easily, runs smoothly and goes fur ther. Mr. Gillespie will deliver Phillips "66" to your fsrm. Have him fill your tank NOW. so that you can give Phillips "66" a thorough trial. Courtesy U.S.OlLlMhWORKS MANUFACTURES OF MICH GRADE OMAHA.
