ing to observe the similarities which
appear when the suicides are further
classified.
In New York tie women sui ,ides
formed 22.2 per cent of the entire
number. In Chicago women were 21.S
per cent OF all the suicides.
Shooting was the method used hy
a3 per cent of the New York suicides.
and by 35 per cent of the Chicagoans
GSs was used by 22 per cent in New
York and by IS per cent in Chicago.
CarbOlic acid was selected by IA per
cent In New York and by IL per cent
in Chicago.
In New York 35 per cent of the sui,
cides were Americans and in Cbicapo
~ per cent. In New York 30 per cent
were Germans, in Chicago only 20
per cent. Among other nationali.ies
there were very much wider yarla-
