That Found in New York

Although the m etropolitan
police department proudly boasts
its record will compare favorably
with that of any city in the
country in the prevention and
detection of crime, Washington
during 1928 and 1929 had a
higher homicide rate than 35
States of the nation.
This is revealed in tabulation
of deaths from homicide per
100000 population published in
the current issue of the Ameri-
can Mercury.
The article point out that the
rate in Illinois, despite the evil
eminence of Chicago, is not much
above the national mean and
that it is fast diminishing" Re-
garding the rate in the District,

"It is interesting to note that
the homicide ate in the Dis
trict of Columbia Is actually
larger than in Illinois and more
than double the rate of New
York."
