Figures On Crime
Here are the outstanding figures
made available today:

592 Minor Traffic :cases 1.589
236 Bad check arrests 183
Analysis of the figures for these
two fiscal periods, selected ,as repre-
sentative by San Francisco police, re-
veals that the bulk ot' tIje increases in
total arrests is taken up by speeding
and traffic arrest. This obviously fol-
lows the increase in the use of auto-
mobiles in the intervening 12 years.

Murders are committed by all ages.
It is noteworthy that the 1916-1917
period includes the rampage at Clar-
ence “Buck'' Kelly. credited with
three murders, and also “Bloody
October” of 1916 which recorded one
murder a day for 30 days.
Felonies, notably felonious assaults
with criminal intent, increase in the
winter month, just as in the eastern
tfties[ according td San Francldco
police.
It is disclosed that in 1916-17 there
were 159 arrests for maintaining dis-
orderly houses while in 1914-1915
there were only 14 such arrests. In
the latter period San Francisco poss-
essed a semi-officially regulated se-
gragated district.

Buicks masterpiece bodies by Fisher
At a time when motor car beauty was
practically standardized—when imitation
was the vogu?.—when there was a glaring
lack of originality in body design —Buick
aas swept far beyond the commonplace
and achieved a style which the entire
country is acclaiming as the most distinc-
tive and beautiful ever shown!
Fisher, the world’s foremost builder of
automobile bodies, has cooperated with
Buiek, the world’s foremost builder of fine
tars, to create a new mode—a new fashion
— and so luminous is the
result and so eagerly is
the public welcoming it
that Bi/ick’s great fac-
tories have reached new
production levels in an effort to keep pace
with an ever increasing demand!
Inside and out, the new Buick bodies by
Fisher are the most beautiful ever built.
Together with the wonderful new standards
of performance introduced by the Stive*
Anniversary Buick, they are winning the
greatest demand and the greatest prefer-
ence ever enjoyed by any fine car!
The new Buick is the new style! And by
that is meant, not merely a new type of
beauty — not merely a
thrilling turning point
in body design — but
a great countrywide
vogue!
