WEEK-END PROBLEMS
by Hubert Phillipok
PROBLEM I MURDERS
THE Commissioner of Police was
In earnest conversation with his Deputy,
"I don't like this," he said. "The number of murders is steadi- ly going up, 17, 1wo years ago; 23, last year; 26, this year. Seri-- ous, don't you think so?"
"It's curious, all right," said the Deputy Commissioner. "But per- haps, Chief, not quite so serious as you think. There is a brighter side to the picture. It's quite true that each year we have had more murder cuses to handle, but I would point out that that is large- ly due to the increasing efficiency of the Department. A couple of years ago a great deal of crime went undetected. That isn't the case to-day."
"I hadn't looked at it from that ungle," said the Commissioner.
"Well, I wish you would," said the Deputy Commissioner. "It may cheer you up a bit. Accord- ing to my Statistical Department, the percentage of murders un- delected hus follca in these last two years from 30.0 10 21.7. Compare those figures with the ones I have just given you ond you will see how much better things are."
Do you think these statistics are upen to criticism?
PROBLEM II
MABEL IS COY · When someone asked Mabel what her age was, she giggled in hier usual coy way, "You must work it out," she said. "I'm half ns old again as my sister Helen. Helen's age is double a prime number; so is Mother's; and the total of Mother's age and Helen's is. 100,"
