Ho ttuld thut on his investments he should have an annual return of $10,000 on his wheat. With this, he thought thut In ten years he could pay off his inortKagcs and begin to live.

Allen to determine the amount newiace actually devoted to crime news' by the news- pel's of the'euuntry. The repoj t, jfiven at the recent Kditor- I Association meeting at Crater lake, is described partially ! follows r " , , ; , 1 "Ascertaining through a questionnaire submitted to a rcp ;icntati.ve group 'of business men that the averaKo newspa leader estimates tho actual amount of crime news iir a : wspaper to be' about 30 per cent., the students finished a 'asuring investigation of 100 newspapers, including Thoj !w York Times, disclosing that the modern newspaper de les only 1.4 per cent, of its total space, oi 3.5 per cent, of hews space? to crime, divorce and scandal. ' . "It was conducted along two separate liiies one lo deter ne the popular idea of just how much sensational material jears itv tla .columns of the newspaper and the other to eck this with Actual measurements of the contents of the pers. Sensational news, as defined before the survey utcd, consisted of crime, divorce and scandal, in which tho :cres't is personal rather than public, and excluding news events. such as Teapot Dome affair or concerning inis:ii )pria,tion of funds. , "The next step in the survey was to check up on Horace eelejt, to whom critics of the modern newspaper often int as an exponent of crime-free journalism. New York Ibunes' were measured representing the most active .veal's fhls editorship. Papers were chosen at five-year intervals m 1851 until his death, and it was discovered that Greeley 'nself, the newspaper purist of his time, hud considered an Vropriation of 1.7' per cent, of his total space legitimate for ' fch news." The school's survey seems to explode the theory that jme is over-played in modem newspapers. Surely it shows iw far from the truth public conception has been on the object. Not all papers, of course, could show as small por jitage devoted to sensational matter as the average. Un ftunately (hero are one or two sheets in every largo city t ich appeal to the rending public's taste for crime and scan !). It is significant to note, however, that they are not, ,a rule, predominant in circulation or leadership. The aver- o paper depicts average life in its news columns. It must. 4-refore, record some crime, some stuff of sensational ehar- ei. I'ut it is, wo can now be confident, a very small por- n of the whole. uttlnKUII, rnrinor floiiioerullc mi nimi ooiiimttlpim-otnun, ttnnounc- I she wuulr! support Hoover, Oiiiuha, Ncli.-!-llull Moose con ntlon iriirrli'S on with two reRls .
