W1MRE„3,The Co=ission has found as a fact that there is a
great nTauoe in the. number and variety of illustrated crime
books, magazines,'und otnarpublications being offered for sale
in this City, which books, magazines, and other publications
de&l in nubstantial part with crimes of force, violence and blood-
shed, and that massy of such books or magazines are designed in
form so as t.7 resemble closely those devoted in substance to mat-
ters of humor and adventure and published primarily for sale to
children; and are often placed for sale side by side with such
humorous and adventure magnzines; and
'?WREAS It appears that children below the ape of eighteen
years OToeptible and impressionable character, are often
stimulated by collections of pictures and stories of criminal
sets, and do in fact often commit such crimes partly because In-
cited to do so by ouch publications; and
"arEREAS, The possibility of harm by restricting free utter-
vince tiou r`gh harmless publications is too remote and too neg-
ligible consequence of dealing with the evil of the publications
herein described, when in the heads of children;
