A married decrease in arraign.
ments for intoxication, and a slight
change in the number of drunken
drivers and prisoners arraigned for
violation of the liquor laws is evil
dent in Lewiston from a comparison
of Lewiston municipal court statis-
tics for the period Of June l to Sept,
Is, 1925 and 1926. The average age
of those arraigned for drunken driv-
ing for the los day period, this year,
is in excess of IS years. While ar
rests for intoXication show a de-
crease of almost one day, police do
not place any particular significance
on this figure. There are as many
DRINKS this year as last-perhaps
more-but not as many have been
arrested. That Is one police officials
opinion Of the matter. There have
been eight fewer arrests this year for
illegal possession and seven more
for illegal manufacture of beer, the
latter offense being identified so
closely with the growing practice of
home brewing that it is furnishing a
growing problem for the police. Ar
rests for. search and seizure and for
nuisance have varied little. There
were six arrests for single sale. this
year, and one last year, for the period
stated.

Take great care not to watch

When the blade is in position

is best for the sake of rhythm to
keep it in motion. This motion
begins with a sandpapering and
vibratory movement, and then
flows into the stroke. 1t may also

other individual preferences.
