Dr, J. s. De Jarnette, superintendent OF
the Western State Hospital for the Insane
at Staunton, Va, who Is IN the city at

Medieo-Psycholog Society. said yester-
day that May and June are the months

Der and January.
This accounts" said DIT. De Jarnette
in a measure for the wave Of iDsan ne

months when Il Is NEST likely TO appear

this, but past records show Il 20 be so.
There Is no telling how long such a wave
may continue. Reading about what Others
have done viii often excite some one con
templating suicide or murder TO act The
more widespread the epidemic becomes,
the more attention win be attracted by

probably increase until al the would-be
suicides or murderers at present on the
borderland Of such insane impulses take
the step. When they are gone. the re-
action sets IN until another sO-called wave
