SAFEGUARDING THE
 COMMUNITY
William J. Burns.

Like the poor, the Crook is
 always with us. The fear of
 punishment, whether it be the
 shadow of jail, or even the i moose or electric chair, seldom
 restraints the individual whose
 morals are warped or whose re-
 sistance to temptation is weak
 ened by the opportunity to gain
 by dishonest effort.
 Indeed, it frequently hap
 pens that the man of hitherto spotless reputation, when sub | jected to the urgent pressure of
 the necessity for funds, loses
 his grip on himself and commits
 theft, robbery or even murder.
 Take the famous Massa- chusetts case of Professor Web ster of Harvard, who murdered Parkman a matter of fifty years ago, which Iis perhaps one of the most celebrated criminal cases on record. Webster had led a blamless life up to the time when a sudden temptation to kill Parkman overcame hi@ mental and moral restraint and the results of his act shocked i well nigh the entire country.
 It is generally agreed by criminologists and those who closely follow the activities of the crooks, that the present l crime wave is a reflex of the recent war; as history teaches us this has been true from the days of the Roman wars, and his being the greatest war in he worlds history, naturally :, personally, have never known } time when the crook and the thief were so much in evidence IS to-day.
 Years ago in the time of Jesse James and the Dalton boys, the criminals greatest opportunity ay in the robbing of mail trains md the cracking of bank safes. 50 many devices for protecting hese have since been develop d and perfected that the crim- nal has broadened his field of operations and cunning inge- lu1Cy ana OaT1ng OpOfdCIOH lave largely taken the place of E Id time night safe cracking E nd railway holdups. k
 Indeed it is a matter of al- nost every day occurrence to cad of a bank holdup in broad 2 aylight, while. the burg1aries nd thefts in homes and apart lent houses are almost too K to mention.
 Laws increasing the degree f punishment for such crimes lay tend somewhat to dis H outrage them at least to de- Is rec. but it is my personal opin- S ,n that the matter goes far be- h ond or far back of these con- E derations and criminals are E created because of E le lack of restraint and I light. almost say lack of re- gious teachings and discipline uring childhood.
 I am not a pessmist, but I 'metimes wonder whether the

Take It Either Way

Take the bare fact that, in this period of supposed depression, sales of Gates Super-Tread Tires have actually doubled and trebled. Or go directly to users of Gates Super-Tread Tires and let them tell you how much more mileage there is in the wider and thicker tread.
 In either case the evidence is plain. It has paid us to build a tire with more miles in it---and that is just what we will continue to do.
