statistics show 1 suicide: increase' Save a Life League Estimates Number Not Less than 12.000 in 1920. | ______ New York. June 11?Divorces, congested living conditions, and enactment of the eighteenth amendment' are giving as probable cases for the alarming increase in the number of j suicides in 1920, according to reports* . received by officers of the Save a i Life League, with offices in this city. Dr. F. L. Hoffman, statistician of the' organisation estimates the number at! not less than 12,000. Of these report-! ed cases averaging 15 years, the girls 16. | Rev. Harry Warren, president of | the league, also declares that restrict-! ions in sale of narcotic drugs helped! to swell the total of unfortunates! nrV> ? *1 nuv mvu uy iuyir own n&n(l9. Dr. Warren cites many trival caua-. es as the impelling force for suicide., One man was distressed because his! new suit did not have enough buttons on the sleeves of the coat. Another | man rebelled at eating a lemon pie his wife had constructed out of tur-j nips and glucose. A youth killed him-j self, because he was asked to eat: ham and eggs for supper. A woman I became morbid because her husband I refused to partake of her clam chow-j der. A couple disputed over whether the bed room window should be op-j en<ed an inch or not less than two feet at night. The wife's argument, prevailed and the man killed him-; self. Many of the suicides reported were among prosperous individuals and Dr. Hoffmau argues that no one basic reason can be assigned for the suicidal increase. Dr. Warren .believes it is possible to cut down the growing number of suicides by making it more difficult for adults nnd children to obtain r fire arms and deadly poisons. He urges that children be definitely in- i strutted as to the sin and futility of taking one's own life. The Save a Life League was founded a few years ago to copo with the suicide problem. It offers the chance i vi cuvuuiageiueui, ur. warren says, ] to persons In mental anguish who may be tottering on the brink of self destruction. Dr. Warren has three methods which he says are of value in reach- j ing individual cases of world weary persons. One is spiritual counsel, an-j other calm reasoning, and the third timely financial assistance. The principal thing, he says, is to reach quickly the mentally tortured j and advise them to look on the , brighter side of life. He says he has found it an easy matter to turn such persons to lives of usefulness and j profitable service. o Subscribe to The Herald. v kulpoirk skips on ni? sr . of ir.'.s American ships, flying tUf* irtrl rv/?c i BVAAW O U11VA will carry you and your goods anywhere Two and three generations ago, the Stars and Stripes were all over the world.

New Orleans. June 12.?Fluctua-' tions of the laBt week in the cotton < market carried the price of the most | active contract months to 25 to 41) points higher than the close, showing net losses of 3 to 15 points. The mar-( ket moved over an extreme range of; 46 to 51 points July trading as high: as 12,27, as low as 11.80 and closing' at 11.86. In the spot department j middling lost 25 points in the net re-, suits, closing at 11.38. which prioe. compared with 41 .cents as the last price this week a year ago. Much of the selling of the week( was due to an unfavorable opinion of | troHo I a * 1 ' w wuc noaftUWO 111 lureigll ei-| change and the breaks in the stock! market. The failure to settle labor' troubles in Great Britian was also urged against values.

Because of the numbers of the weevil reported at this early date tho heavy showers of the week over large areas in the belt were regarded as highly unfavorable and as likely to cause a further spread of the pest. Some localities, which had olpnts far enough advanced, report weevils attacking squares as fast as they formed and both Alabama and Georgia sent in word that fprr??o-~ were plowing up cotton, the was so numerous. One of the most sensation-, al statements regarding the weevil was found in the weekly crop review by the government, which stated that the insect was spreading everywhere in Georgia. At the end of the week considerable liquidation came upon the market. apparently because of talk of large tenders of spots against July contracts, this talk having its founHuflnn in thn 1 n rorn atrv?t of pArfiflprt cotton now held here, the stock having increased to 65,000 bales. Selling of July by spot interests was accepted as evidence that much tendering would be done in that month and this coming week the- market will be closely watched for evidence con'ccrn^ ATTENTION CAMPERS A?

Wather conditions and the actsvi-' ties of thg boll weevil will doubtless' engage much of the attention of the trade this coming week but the general opinion seeuied to be that the L>iitish labor situation rapidly is reaching a point where a settlement ( of some sort will be forced and the trade will follow with great interest the voting by the coal miners on the question of accepting the most recent proposals to end the strike This will be of all the more interest in the cotton market because of the claim that British textile workers now on strike will shape their course according to the outcome of the coal strike situation. o If you want results, advertise In1!
