TUESDAY, JULY 11. 1933 GRIME NEWS A.VD THE PAPERS A stock criticism of the newspapers of America Is the statement that they devote too much apace to news of crime. This statement is denied by Professor Brlstow Adams of the New York State College of Agriculture, , who asserts that those who make ; do not know what they are talking about. He bases his assertion upon '1 careful analysis of material appear ing in the newspapers of TCew York during the month ending June ' 24. This analysis covered 13 groups of ' news classification and Professor Adams found that crime news was seventh in point of volume in the list, . occupying but a little more than four per cent of the total news space in the three New York city newspapers analyzed, threo and a half per cent In the cities of the second class in the state and one and three-fourths per - cent in the cities of the third class. Taking the New York "World as sample, Professor' Adams found that during the month covered by his analysis is devoted 28 per cent of its V space to news of business and finance, ; 21 per cent to sport news, seven per I cent to foreign news, seven per cent to educational news, five per cent to ' news of government and politics. '10 v per cent to labor news, five and one- V half per cent to news of crime, three and a half per cent to deaths and dis asters, one and one-fourth per cent to news of the courts, two and one xourth per cent to news based on liquor, one-fourth of. one per cent to society news, seven per cent to mis cellaneous, and one and one-fourth per cent to news of agriculture. The percentages varied somewhat in the other New York papers studied, which were the Times and the Tribune, but it is a curious fact that the rank of the classifications was the same in all the papers. Professor Adams admits that he himself was greatly surprised at the result of his .. investigations, adding that he had always supposed that crime news occupied a much larger percentage of the total space in the newspapers than is shown by his . analysis. He attributes the belief . that crime news predominates "to the . general reader's state of mind,' which ' runs to the human nature side of news , rather than to other kinds of matter.' "We presume he. means by that that the average reader's attention is at tracted first by news of cy-iine and later by the other news that appears in the paper he is reading, the result being that he gets an exaggerated im pression of the total amount of crime news carried. It Js probably true that the average I newspaper is governed In Its choice ; of material not so much by what poople ought to read as by what It thinks they want to read, sharing this point of view with most other busl nesa Institutions. The clothing mer chant may believe, for example, that . his customers should buy only all- wool garments of the best obtainable - workmanship, ' but if a large per , celntage of them demand shoddy ; clothes of inferior workmanship he must either carry that kind or suffer - the penalty which Is loss of bust tiess.' Regardless of his own opinions, he must either carry on his shelves . what the people demand or loso great deal of money. And so it is with tho newspapon .It must either print what people want to read or stand by and see them read some other newspaper. Professor Adams' findings are -- rather complimentary to the intelli gence and good taste ' of both the ' newspapers and their readers. With ' business and finance, sports, foreign ,'news, educational matters, questions of government and politics and the - labor movement all taking precedence Jn Volume In the newspapers over hews of ct(me( It -frould appear that the publto is not as morbid in its tastes as has been so often alleged. And -with news of crime occupying only four and a fraction Pr cent of the total news space of the newspapers of tho city of New York, It would seem that the newspapers are hardly guilty of capltnlixlng crime and crim inals in on effort to boost circulation. A contemporary observes that every box of cherries leaving the state should have the Oregon label burned Into It. Still, every Oregon cherry has the Oregon flavor incorporated into it, and that Is something that can't bo mistaken. Senator La Follette asserts that passage of the tariff bill will mean defeat for tho Republican party In 1924. The wish, in his cane, is doubtless father to the thought. Tho Russian soviet minister is In a hospital, suffering from a nervous breakdown. Ho must have tried to believe everything he heard about Russia. A PhlHppino scientist says that eat ing locusts wltl save the crops of the island from the ravages of the pests. But how about tho stomachs? It is said that Americans aro bolng secrotly murdered by tho Turks in Asia Minor. In Herrln, Illinois, they don't bother with secrecy. - j Earlier Days in Eugene (From the Morning Register, July 11, Yesterday Miss Ella Ford Travis re ceived a telegram announcing that she has been elected preceptress of the Sherman school in rsew orK city of which her brother.

Every yonr about tho mid d o of May, while tho snow still lies deep in tho j mountain passes, from 15 to-20 cars start tho stren-uous3CO-milo run across tho interior valleys nnd up Uio difficult mountain rondsanto tho Yoscmite Val ley. Every car is carefully groomed for victory, and driven by an expert. And in all the six runs so far held, all cara entered have used Red Crown gasoline ex. cusrvey. This year the car making tho run on tho lowest consumption of fuel, a 'Chevrolet driven by Dom inick Basso, mado the entire trip of 360 miles on 12 gallons of "Red Crown" (an average of 30 miles to tho gallon), and a pint of Zcrolcne. The average gasoline consumption for all cars participating was phenomenally low, This furnishes striking evidence of the continued success of this company in manufacturing a motor-car fuel of the highest grado, justifying for six successive years tho unanimous choicoof automotive engineers eager to establish the best possible records for their cars. This year, 18 of tho 20 cars entered made tho entire distance on less than 20 gallons of "Red Crown," although owing to recent rains tho roads were .unusually difficult. Red' Crown goolino is tha moat cooomJcal motor' fuel on the market today, becauaa It con tains the maximum number of heat units that can bo rapidly and uniformly vaporized in ths modern carburetor and go into complete combustion In tho cylinders, producing the maximum power the engine was designed to develop.
