Another table prepared by Prof. Bal
ley shows that more single. widowed, and
divorced women commit suicide than men
in like conjusaI conditions. but that mar
ried men are more prone than married
women to take their lives. according
to Prof. Bailey this is probably due to
the fact that the struggle for existence
bears most heavily on the women who
are trying TO support themselves.
Shooting is found to be the f~avorite
method Of suicide. followed closely by
poison. Almost exactly 90 per cent of
the eases of suicide are included under
these two heads. More than 80 per cent
of the cases of drowning occur in the
three summer mouths. In Maine hang

Booth was IS years old and had been

was cut in a similar manner, but not
quite so deep. There was another cut
