Our attention has been drawn, re-
Gently, to an illustration published in
the metropolitan press in which were
shown seven of Villas soldiers who par
ticipated in the raid on Columbus, N.
NJ, were subsequently captured, tried
by court martial, and are now awaiting
execution. Possibly they deserve their
fate; possibly it may be necessary to
put them to death in order that others
of their kind may be deferred from SIM
liar depredations, but we could not, as
we gazed upon the likeness of their
dull countenances, avoid the thought
that if the criminals really responsible
for the Columbus massacre were shown
in that picture they would be found to
be the nabobs and grandees of Mexico,
who for nearly four hundred years
have ground the common people of that
fertile country under despotism not
exceeded in Russia, China or any other
country on the face of the earth. The
real criminals are the men who made
the men in the picture what they are;

Talking to group of men in an after
dinner speech at Detroit. Warden Ma
than Simpson, head of the Michigan
state prison at Jackson, made the start
ling statement that it is difficult thing
to get moving picture films clean
enough to show the prisoners OF that
institution. The warden's observation
will appeal to every thinking person,
having knowledge of the matter, as be-
ing strictly in accordance with the facts
and would seem to justify little fur
ther speculation. If the great major
ity of pictures shown would be demor-
alizing to criminals what must be
thought of their effect upon the plastic
minds of girls and boys who by hun
dreds of thousands daily find in them
their chief source of amusement? And
it will have to be admitted that the in
fiuence of many of these shows is
neither edifying nor instructive. Ii
they have any influence it is bad. True,
there are exceptions, but they are COM
paratively rare. The dramatic photo
plays are for the most part sickly lot
of sentimental mush, built Upon i'm
possible situations, and not jnfrequently
featuring crime and loose morals. II
must be admitted the day of Puritan
ism is irrevocably gone, and few would
wish it's return, but no thinking person
who has attended the "movies," even
occasionally, can have escaped the
thought that they are being made a
means of menace to American citizen
ship. Out of the wealth of good things
which dramatic writers have produced
and are still producing we ought to be
able to make selections that could be
visualized and made at least tit 70 ex-
hibit to bunch of convicts. The other
kind ought not to be shown to anybody,

they are the men of four hundred fami-
lies who first stole and have success
lively appropriated and held nine tenths
of the fertile land i'm Mexico and made
slaves of other men. Denied schools,
denied the means and occasional pleas
ures of decent existence, filled with
superstitions, with the sons sold into
virtual slavery to pay the interminable
debts of the fathers, is it any wonder
these men took to the only freedom
they had ever known under the bandit
flag of Villa. God gave US the percep-
tion to see that we have evil systems
to punish as well as evil men. When
we do really come to understand that
and act upon it we shall make progress
in the great art of attaining peace,
prosperity, and human happiness at
rate that will astonish the world.
And so, we see in these condemned
Mexicsns objects of pity and material
for moral and social lesson. Let us
quote from Edwin Markham's famous
poem "The Man with the Hoe:''
o masters, lords and rulers in all lands.
Is this the handiwork you gave to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul
quenched?
How viii you ever straighten up this shape
Tousb 1t again with immortality;
Give back the Upward looking and the light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immen,o oriai infamies;
Pertidious wrongs. immedi.. able woes?

Tests Shcw Fine Economy Aver
age for Studebaker Cars

Acting on the theory that many a
gallon Of gasoline Is wasted by the
average automobile owner IN the course
of a year. the Studebaker Corporation
recently carried on number of tests
in all sections Of the country among
owners of Studebaker cars.
The results of these nationwide
tests, Just made known. have resulted
in greatly increased mileage in many
cases. Averages of l6 to 10 miles pei
gallon have been secured from the
four-cylinder models, while the six
cylinder cars have produced l5 miles
per gallon uniformly.
In actual operation, the Studebaker
plan works like this: An expert calling
on an owner who is not getting maxi
mum mileage, first disconnects the
regular gasoline supply and attaches an
auxiliary tank containing one gallon.
The owner then takes the wheel and
drives few miles, the expert at his
side making mental notes all the while.
At the end of the trip the amount of
gasoline used is measured.
The expert then relieves the owner
in command. Before starting out he
adjusts the carburetor and any other
features of mechanism that need adj
justing in order to secure greatest pos
sible economy in operation. The eX-
pert then drives the car and drives it
properly, explaining the owners faults
to him all the while.
Reports show in most cases that the
owner did not have his carburetor ad-
justed to best advantage. In other
cases he might have had tendency to
leave the motor running while away
from his car for considerable length
of time. In still other instances his
fault might be speeding up the motor
and "riding" the clutch when a shift of
gears would have been the logical and
economical method. Spark plugs may
be dirty or the motor may have been
otherwise neglected,
American automobile owners have
been accustomed to low-priced gasoline
go long that they have become careless
and wasteful," says r. T. Hodgkins,
general sales manager of The Stude-
baker Corporation. I've can learn a
lesson in gasoline economy from motor
lists in foreign countries where they
pay 65 cents to dollar a gallon for gas
in some places. and as consequence
they guard zealously against extrava-
gance in running their cars"
81 do not wish to enter defense OF
the present price of gasoline. would
like to see it come down, and believe il
is bound to do so. But for their part.
automobile owners have an opportunity
to practice thrift in the use of gasoline.
"The reading and the observation of
the advice laid down in instruction
books will help lot. Our dealers inn
press this point upon owners. They
also urge Studebaker users to feel free
at any time to come in for advice on
how to increase the mileage per gallon.
GAS result of the campaign of edu-
cation which we have carried on among
owners, letters have come in to US from
owners all over the country telling us
how they have boosted their mileage
by simply taking care of their cars,
keeping them tuned up to the highest
economy pitch, and practicing common
sense in driving Adv.
