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.

New Orleans. June 12.?Fluctua-'

market carried the price of the most |

net losses of 3 to 15 points. The mar-(

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 |

Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina.
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^

ing the probable developments in the*
coming spot mouths.
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.
