CASES IN POLICE
COURT DECREASE
Total of 1858 in 1927, as
Against 77,240 in 1926,
Figures Reveal.

There was a slight decrease in the
cases docketed for trial in the Police
Court during 1927 from the total of
1926. court records show. In the past
year 1858 cases were registered, to
77,240 cases for 1925.
This drop is accounted for solely by
the efficiency of the traffic branch and
the zeal Of the police in enforcing the
driving regulations. as in all branches
except the Traffic Court there was an
increase over the aggregate in the pre-
ceding year. The slump In traffic
cases was from 40.s39 In 1925. to So. 1880
in 1927. II is thought that this Is
particularly due to the publicity that
has accompanied the numerous drives
conducted by the police during the
year on specific classes OF trafiic VIC.
ia;ors.
The totals for the other two branches
for 1927 1926. respectively, are
as follows: District of Columbia
branch. 2s,05e and .5,3ls; United
States branch. 11.7s7 and 1882.
OF specific classes OF yiolators
brought into court the greatest in
crease is in arrests for intoxication.
Since 1924 there has been a steady
increase in these cases, reaching d
peak with 1915 for last year. In
1925 there were 1882 such cases: in
1925. II 400. and in 1924. 1919.
The number OF cases in all branches
has almost quadrupled during the last
% years. the records show. In 1909
there were only 20.7s8 cases docketed
This rise can be attributed principally
10 the coming Of the automobile into
common use and 10 the national phohi-
bition act.
Almost half Of the cases tried IN.
volye traffic violations. The number
Of cases listed In the United States
branch, which tries all oifenses against
the prohibition laws. has more than
doubled since the passage Of the Vol.
stead law.

SYMPTOMS
OF MEASLES

MEASLES may occur at any

greater number of cases are usually
found in winter and it is prob
ably the most contagious of all
diseases.
Is it possible to have measles
more than once? 1t is, but one at
tack usually protects from further
attacks. The disease is most con-
tagious during the period before
the appearance Of the rash and
for that reason il spreads rapidly
before one may be aware of it's
presence. Three weeks after the
onset of the rash there is very
little possibility of further CON
tagion.
symptoms of the disease may
vary but usually run a fairly
definite course. The onset may be
mild and sometimes so mild as to
be unrecogniZed until the rash is

He was a fascinating man-an
amateur musician who might
easily have risen to the heights,
but for his utterly undisciplined
and rowing nature. Robert was
iomely with his slack blond hair
and long, nervous features, rapa-

with inner hungers. When he

glanced at Nara, the wolf ex-
