rests for this violation in June, had
only II arrests to show in its drive
during July.
Speeding arrests also showed q
drop of 81 per cent with 7O2 persons
stopped by police for exceeding the
speed limit, as compared with 1,021
speeders given tickets in June. At
the same time, this class of trafflc
violators fell to third place in the
traffic arrest list after heading 1t for
three successive months.
Their place at the top was taken
by the 865 motorists who disobeyed
official signs, even though they, too,
represented a sharp reduction from
the 1000 drivers in this classification
in June.
Overtime parkers held their hold
on second place with 861 arrests
140 less than the 1,001 arrests for
this offense during the previous
month.
The total number of traffic ar
rests dropped from 11,042 in June
to $685. last month. This latter
figure included 80 pedestrians ar
rested for disobeying the pedestrian
control regulation, decrease Of 10
from the SO arrested in June.
This decrease in last months traf-
fic arrests was due largely to the
large number of police officers away
on annual leave, according to In
spector Arthur E. Miller, head of the
Traffic Division of the Police De-
partment
The inspector pointed out that
Motorcycle Policeman George M.
Patton, whom he described as the
man who makes more traffic arrests
than any other police officer, was
on vacation the greater part of last
month.
In addition, he said the congress
sional investigation of the Police
Department in July tended to make
the men nervous and unsure of
themselves.
After ALL" he explained, "a po-
lice officer hesitates TO make an
arrest If the offender threatens to
take the matter up with a friend
who is a member of the Investi-
eating Subcommittee
The only precincts reporting in
creases in the number of traffic
arrests made last month were the
third, twelfth and harbor precincts.
In each case, however, the increase
was small. The third precinct re-
ported l18 more traffic arrests than
the number reported in June; the
twelfth precinct had IS more traffic
arrests, while the harbor precinct
showed an increase of one over
June's figure, which was zero.
Passing red light, for which 149
motorists were arrested in June, cost
drivers at least 50 each in Police
Court during July, while the number
OF motorists nabbed for passing
stop signs decreased from 249 in
June to 1874 last month.
Similar reductions were reported
in arrests made for driving on the
wrong side Of the street, failing
to give the right of way to another
vehicle and failing to keep to the

Il believe in organization. The
great fault" he added later in the

exercise prerogatives offered them.
The only chance here is working in
citizens associations. 1t makes a
very much better residential COM
munity if people know each other
to the extent that they will aid
rather than criticize"
II very much favor a change In
the form of government" he said.
THE commissioner form is out
moded. Citizens of q city Of this

pressing their wishes"

Retail Volumes Up
9 10 15Per Cent
Above Year Ago
Increase Is Largest
For Any Corresponding
Period Since 1880
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Given a
substantial boost by Lincoln's Birth
day promotions, this weeks retail
trade showed gains ranging from 8
to Is per cent over the comparable
period last year in dollar volume,
the Dun & Bradstreet weekly sur
vey said today.
The increase was described as the
largest for any corresponding period
since 1880.
"Broadest gains over the 1910
level" said the survey, "were still
concentrated largely in Southern
and Midwestern cities, although
there was increasing evidence of the
spread to other sections.
Mail orders calling Tor imr1e diate

ering on staple and semi-staple
goods also continued active. De-
liverieS remained the major concern
and in lines most closely related to
defense needs buyers were attempt
ing to meet requirements for many

were limited to 80 days Speculative
purchasing was said to be very little

the rate of inventory expansion was
found to be tagging slightly in rcla-

BY the Associated Press,
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Bolstered by
small-scale purchasing credited to
milling interests and previous
short" sellers. the wheat market
today shook off its recent spell OF
weakness
After declining Z cent at the
opening, prices rallied and at times
showed net gains of about that
much. Private reports indicated a
leading baking concern took up to
100000 barrels of flour from Texas
and Oklahoma mills for March-April
shipment, but there were conflicting
reports as to the extent of flour busi-
ness. However, trade developments
indicated the low level of wheat
prices had stimulated more activity
among consuming interests. A rally
in securities also strengthened the
grain market.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Weakness

Attendant declines in high-grade
