10000 MURDERS COMMITTED
DURING 1921.

DOKlNC 1871.
More than 10000 murders were
committed in the United States
during 1921. This is revealed by
check-up conducted by DR.. Fred
,erick L. Hoffman, consulting stat
istician of the Prudential Insurance
Company.
Hoffman found that % leading
cities, with combined population
If 20,558,770, had 1910 murders
last year.
On a population basis, this IS
over 10000 known murders for
the whole country. To them must
be. added the unknown number Of
murders that are successfully con-
ccaled and 10 not show up in the
police reports. These probably
rln into the thousand.
The death toll should draw
grim smile from the Turks, next
time America gets excited about
Armenian massacres.
Open pigeonholes in your men,
DRY, compare records, and the
thought occurs to you that just
about as many Americans are muir
dered as are killed by autos.
Hard to decide, which of the two
is more amazing.
Picture a town of 10000 inhabi-
tants, all murdered in cold blood
during one night. A frightful pic
ture. But it's a true picture of
the murder situation in so-called
civilized America.
Spread out over a gigantic terri
tory and divided among our mil
lions of people, with murder here
and there, day after day, and we
lose sight of the terrible total.
DR.. Hoffman found that the 1921
murder rate was fraction more
than nine out of every 100000
Americans.
Allowing for concealed murders
that are never definitely discov-
cred (including many missing
persons" cases), a conservative
estimate is that one American in
every 10000 is murdered yearly,
Meaning: Your chance of be-
ing slain is one in 10000 each
year, one in 1000 during a period
of 10 years. Figure it up over
lifetime and, if you lived 100
years, one chance in 100 of being
murdered.
A dreadful penalty for permit
ting the sale of pistols, which are
the death instruments in the ma
jority of murders.
The brighter side of the picture is
that, while more than 10000 are
murdered in a year, at least 49,
100000 are not murdered. AS in
all other forms of crime, evil is
''far and away in the minority.
That's why evil gets so much at
tention-it's the exception, the
unusual.
Most of us, after all, are decent
law-abiding citizens.

Special 20 The World
WASHINGTON, July 5-The
interstate commerce commission to-
day refused to allow the putting into
effeH Of proposed rates schedules
on petroleum crude and fuel oil in
tank cars from Kansas. oklahoma
and Texas. TO certain destinations In
Arizona and New Mexico. The pro-
posed substitution would have put
into effect actual weight per gallon
instead OF the present system, which
estimates gallon of oil TO weigh
4-l0 pounds. The Western Pc
troleum Rcfiners association op-
posed the change.
The commission. in It's decision.
asserted that the proposed sched
ules were aimed primarily at Mexl-
can oil, which Is received Mt Texas

sumed in large volumns In tho min
