GETTING USED TO CRIME Said a business man recently: “Do you notice how many items about rob- beries and hold-ups the newspapers are printing now, and how little space they usually give them? They are be- coming so common that they don't at- tract notice any longer.” He went on to speak of one recent newspaper issue, which reported halt a dozen such deeds, the same having occurred in a single locality on a sin- gle date, apparently perpetrated by digerent people, and each one only very briefly reported. Newspapers feature the unusual things. Crimes are becoming common events, hence are no longer unusual, so that they attract less interest than formerly. In the smaller cities and towns, crimse are not so common and such occurrences still startle and shock peo- ple somewhat as in former years. But in the larger cities, these happenings are becoming so numerous, that unless they have some unusual and sensation- al features, editors may not feel the public will be interested in them.
