EPIDEMIG OF DRUNK CASES IN HERIDEN Three Times More Arrests in July : Than Average for 18 Months Meriden, Aug. 1.—The number of arrests in Meriden for intoxication during the month of July was more than three times as great as the monthly average for such arrests dur- ing the last year and a half, and was considerably larger than the number| of arrests for intoxication in May, 1917, the month after the United States entered the war, and before the prohibition law went into effect. The number of arrests for violation of the prohibition law in Meriden during the | month of July was more than five times as great as the monthly aver- age of such arrests for the last year and a half, | These are startling statements, but | the facts were gleaned from the po-| lice blotter. The total number of ar- rests during the month just ended was 121. This number {is considerably larger than the highest record for any monthly average for 1922 and two and a half times as large as the aver- age for the first six months of this| year. Record for 10 Years. The police blotter now in use was| started in December, 1913. 1In that book is a record of every arrest made by the Meriden police in nearly ten years. Previous to July of this year, there were but threes months in all that time in which the number of ar- rests was as many as 100. Two of those months were May and June, 1917, before the prohibition amend-| ment was passed, and just after the United States entered the world war. | Has Worst Record. The number of arrests made in those months for intoxication, or other | complaints involving intoxication were | 36 in May and 27 in June. The total number of arrests for those two months were 105 and 106, respective- ly. Last month there were 121 ar- rests and 46 of those were for intox- ication, either alone or combined with other offenses. Thus it will be seen that in the matter of llquor violations, July of this year had a worse record, than the record month of pre-Vol-| stead days. The 46 cases involving intoxication last month are divided as follows: Plain Intoxication, 32; assault, intoxi- cation and resistance, 1; assault and intoxication, 1: intoxication and breach of the peace, 1; Intoxication and vagrancy 1: intoxication and in- jury to property 5, and driving while under the influence of intoxjcdting Nquor 5. Daugherty Will Take Up Matter With President Portland, Ore, Aug. 1.—Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, hasten- ing to join the party of President Harding at San Francisco, was great- Iy relieved when he learned when he passed through here of the improve- ment in the condition of the chief executive. Mr. Daugherty said he would take up with the president while in San Franeisco, if the presi- dent's condition permitted, the matter of the government's future action in the Central Pacific-Southern Pacific case. He added that he would re- main with the president and return to ‘Washington with his party. Mrs. Harding Already Is . . Planning Social Events San Franclsco, Aug. 1.—Mrs. War- ' ren G.

Go to BUICK INTRODUCES ed, ITS 1924 MODELS [ Buick External Braking System on mil Four Wheels—Special Carburetor an —TLonger Wheel Base on Sixes in Introduced to the public today, the 1924 Buick cars offer renewed proof of the unreliability of rumor. For months gossip of what Buick would do on August 1st has been prevalent and often solemnly asserted by the wiseacres as '‘on good authority.” Yet so little of it proves true, and so many complete surprises characterize these cars, that Buick is to be con- gratulated on keeping its secret so well. There Is no question that these Buick cars will be halled as a substan- tial advance in automotive engineer- ing, but it will be noted at the same time that the new features are devel- opments rather than ingovations, evolutionary rather than revolution- ary and consistent throughout with those Buick fundamental principles that have endured through twenty years of Buick manufacture. With fifty per cent more power claimed for its famous valve-in-head six cylinder engine, its successful ex- ternal brakes extended to four wheels in both Sixes and Fours, a specially foo spri all 10 as a wonder, and literally dozens of other developments, major and minor, Buick proves that its engineering staff has been very much "on the job." The thousands who are certain to see these cars in the leading centers this week—and very soon in the show rooms of all Buick dealers—will first observe a change in body lines, un- doubtedly influenced to a degree by recent reflinements in forelgn design. Thus a more modish appearance, even than the 1923 Buick, has been ac-| complished by a departure in radiator and hood contour on both open and closed bodies. This applies to both the six and four cylinder models, of which there are fourteen body styles. | Exterfor features noted at first| glance are the new head lamps, | nickeled radiator on the sixes, water tight hood hinge, open hood support, newly designed crown fenders, a more effective weather-proof windshield strip, operating instruments conform- ing in design to the headlamps, flush ventilator, new dust apron and a heavier and better looking gasollne tank. It will nexi be noted that a two to four inch longer wheel base on the six cylinder chassis has created more room in both the front and rear com- partments, thus affording greater comfort to both driver and passenger and, coupled with an improved spring suspensién, easier riding qualities also. The finish is exceptionally fine, even | for Buick, and the appointments un- usually complete. But, despité the notable advances in Buick ‘Appearance and roominess, it is the chassis that reflects n st the pro- tracted and intelligent effort that the Buick organization has applied in de- veloping its car to this, the highest at- tainment of its history. The six cylinder valve-in-head en- gine, which has probably brought more enduring fame to Buick than any other unit of its construction, has been so redesigned that it actually vields 50 per cent more power and a speed of 60 to 70 miles an hour, Tt has forced feed lubrication, remov- able heads, larger valves, heavier crank and cam shafts, greater piston displacement and a new Marvel car- buretor that includes a simple dash adjustment for economy, regardless of weather or kind of gasoline employed. The extension to all four wheels of the highly successful Buick external brakes is a feature that, it Is announe- vat tha usa tim Pos ed the the the adv hav yes by tra ed en He wh of ’ THE DICKINSON DRUG CO. for a LUNCH of crackers and our COOL GUERNSEY GOLDEN MILK C.

Katahdin Climbers Found--In Good Physical Condition Lewiston, Me., = Aug. 1.—Alfred Merlan, Jr., of New York, and his chum, Gaston Dallendsch of Switz- erland, who lost their way on Mount Katahdin last Wednesday were found huddled together near the monument of stones at the highest peak of the mountain yesterday by Guides Eu- gene York and Abol Cook. The boys seemed mentally alert and their phys- ical condition was good, considering that thelr food for six days had con- sisted chieflly of wild berries. The two young men Were mem- bers of a party of five who left Sebec lake last Wednesday to scale the mountain. When part way up they went in advance of the others, who could not find them again. They lost their way on the north side of the mountain and were un- able to find the trail. #In the belief that searching parties would first visit the summit they*made the as- cent under great difficulties by a way hitherto unexplored by mountain climbers. Their feet and hands were cut and brulsed by sharp rocks and their clothing torn by the underbrush. After the guides had glven them food and coffee the party started down the mountainside for a hike of ten miles to a camp where they were to remaln over night. This morning they will walk eight miles through the woods to the Sourdna- hunk road where they will be met by an automobile and conveyed to Ripo- genus where the Merian boy's father and mother are located. More than a hundred men had en- gaged in the search for the two youths.
