• To Murderers.
Recently a lurge American life
insurance company investigated
the records of the killings of 146
of its policy holders by other per-
sons. The result is an accurate
commentary on our handling of
crime.
Of the 14G killings, 32 were
found justified, leaving 114 class
ed As murders,
Of these, £5 were not indicted,
as 22 committed suicide, 15 have
not been found, and eight was
freed because of lack of evidence.
Sixty nine, in all, were indicted.
Of these, 10 were acquitad, 11
were "no trial" cases and one
was a mistriai. Forty one were
judged guilty of murder,
Of these, 35 are in prison serv-
ing sentences, six have been ap-
pealed, three have been granted
new trials, one was paroled, one
escaped with a fine, and just one
of the murderers paid the death
penalty. ,
If these statistics are generally
applicable, it means that in this
couutry less than one per cent of
murderers ever receive the most
severe punishment, and that the
chances are about even for their
never receiving any punisbmeut
at all.
It is obvious that our legal sys-
tem, while basically sound, has
become burdened with a mans of
technicalities providing ready
loop holes for the criminal. Clev.
er lawyers confuse issues and
sway juries composed of laymen
with little knowledge of the law,
with sentiment or arguments be
side the point. And when every-
thing else fails, advantage is of.
ten takeu of multiplicity of laws
to gain repeals, deiays or new
trials.
We have 17 times as many
murders as England, and six
times the number of Canada.
Crime suppression will come not
from new laws, but by simplify
injr and rnakiug operative the
oues we have.
The Remembered Gift.
"Remember it? I should eav I
do!" The hig man's face beam-
ed with happy recollection.
Someone had, in more or- less
of a business way, spoken of The

the mention of its name—so far
as business was concerned—broke
up that meeting. But what fun
those busy men had swapping
recolleetions of the days.when
t le arrival of The Youth's Com-
panion was the high spot of the
whole week.
Rare, indeed are the pleasures
that we remember so warmly

Doctors in New York discuss
"how to fight old age."
Dr. Vtncent says doctors "con
centrate on old people after they
are ill^inetead of keeping them
well."
Ligi Cornaro solved his pro-
blem, starting at 40, wheu given
up to die by doctors. He lived
to 105, mounting hi< horse with
out assistance at 95, and wrote
to the Pope: "I bad to live to
be 95 years old to know that the
world is beautiful."
He limited his diet to 12 oun-
ces of solid food aud 15 ounces
of Italian wine per day. Think
how long he might have lived if
he bad 9limin>ited the 15 ounces
of wine and substituted 15 ouu

Majority of States
Produce Oil.
According to a press item, 21
of the states are in the oil pro-
ducingjclass and 32 have operat-
ing petroleum refineries.
The statistics show that today
there are more states producing
and refining oil than there are
producing wheat, steel or cotton.
Oklahoma leads in total pro-
duction with more than 277 mil-
lion barrel* last year. Califor-
nia and Texas are next in order.
In refiuerv capacity, Califor-
nia,'with a total of 851,775 bar-
rels daily, is first. Texas is sec-
end, followed by Oklahoma and
New Jersey.
When with this is considered
the industry's marketing facili-
ties, with thousands of distribut
ing plants and filling stations,
the magnitude of petroleum de
velopmeot is apparei^. Faced,
during tne great growth in the
use of the automobile, with all
difficulties of a sudden "bo<>m"

and executive genius, served the
public unfailingly with high
grade products reasonably priced
The oil industry has come a
long way since the first success

in 1869.
