SUICIDE STATISTICS.

In the June number of McClures
magazine George KEENAN, has re-
marlable article on the somewhat grue-
some subject of suicide. That this is an
important subject is clear from the
fact that this country alone has about
10000 suicides annually and that Europe
has no less than 10000 each year. What
is the cause of this self-destruction?
What Is the remedy for 81 mania that
Is on the Increase everywhere?
Mr. Kennan presents some facts of
general interest. He finds that suicide
is specially prevalent between the If
teenth and fifty fifth parallels of north
latitude, the number within these paIal-
lels being 172 to the million and the
largest number outside being 90 to the
million. Climate. he says, has little or
nothing to do with It. but season and
weather great deal Contrary to the
numerous in December and most numer-
Gus In June. and far more numerous on
the clear and beautiful days of June
than on wet or cloudy days. Sui
eide weather. then, is not the dreary
weather OF winter but the cheerful
summer weather.
a remarkable fact that seems to he
born out by statistics lis this, that tho
suicide rate Is reduced by any great
and absorbing public calamity or ex-
element. This. Mr.. Kennan says, is
universally true OF wars, but was Just
as marked in connection with the de-
struction OF San Francisco. The suicid-
al impulse increases rapidly from child
hood to old age. 1t is much higher
among the officers and soldiers or
sailors OF armies and nayies than
among any other people. The rate Ia
higher among physicians lawyers,
journalists, teachers and all profession
al men except clergyrnen than among
other classes. There are fewer sui
cides by far among women than among
men.
Another remarkable fact brought out
Is this that suicides arc more common
among Professionals than Catholics, and
among the Christian nations than the
Jews. And the question Is whether this
does not furnish the clue TO the solution
of the problem. There is, on the whole,
less faith In a future In Protestant than
Catholic nations; there is, we believe.
moro genuine religious sentiment
among the Jews than their Christian
neighbors, at least In most of the
European countries where there are
many Jews. Does this not indicate that
suicide is a by-product of that civiliza-
tion which has no use for faith?

RESULTS OF EXERCISE.

We have been requested to call at
tention to a free lecture on physical
culture to be given this, Thursday. eve
ming by DR.. Anderson, in the Packard
Library.
The best results of exercise the
Doctor says. ARE to be found in the
control thereby gained over the nerv-
GUS system, and not In muscular de-
velopment."
This is a new conception OF the func-
ton of systematic physical training
one that will commend itself to
thoughtful and observant people.
In support Of this novel theory, the
gentleman referred to argues that gym
nastics, dancing. athletics. swimming,
rowing, golf, tennis. etc. all affect the
central nervous system. and especially
what he calls the muscle brain (the Ro-
landic area). The brightest mind the
world has ever known" he says, could
do only what the body permitted--it
could do no more. When the physical
substance fails physical substance In
cludes brain tssue) the mind has no
tools with which to work"
We think that it is really past con-
troversy that the object of rational
physical education is to prepare the
body for complete living; that is to
make reliable basis for psychic ac-
tivity. II is no doubt desirable that
every one should take systematic exer-
else; but few will exercise when alone,
or keep up the practice; hence the need
of company. The gymnasium. the ten
mis- court, the golf links, give company
and add zest to the work.
A person may falsely argue that he
has no time; but IL he does, 1t is rea-
sonab!y certain tho day will more
speedily arrive when he really has no
time.
Proper physical education implies a
knowledge OF the laws of hygiene and
sanitation; of how and what to eat;
OF the rules for ventilation. breathing
and relaxation. Every youth should
be taught these simple laws OF health
full living; and II he is SO educated, ne
can not say. 81 did not know"

the principles of religious liberty we

queer notions. They had but little light

In the matter OF turning corners auto
mobilIsts should be made strictly 10
conform to the speed limit, thing that
few II any OF them do. There is more
danger to pedestrians in turning a cor

dodge. In New York the speed limit

TEMPERANCE IN FINLAND.

A Christania paper is quoted as
follows anent the prohibition law of
Finland:
"rhe temperance movement In Fin
land was the one which reaped the
greatest harvest from the recent
strike. Prohibition of the sale OF
drink during the strike season was
established throughout the length and
breadth OF the land. There was a
verltahle temperance spree as n re-
suit, and people had the rare and de-
lightful experience for the whole time
of not seeing an intoxicated person.
Never had the police station stood so
empty. and never was there better or
der. Many enthusiastic persons were
SO impressed that they vowed not TO
touch drink again and to work for "A
drastic prohlbltory law. They found
that however much they had been ac-
customed TO drink II was not difficult
To abstain when there was nothing
with which 10 get drunk"
The temperance movement Is, APP
parontly, sweeping the world. And
wherever notice Is taken OF the effects
OF temperance laws, they are found
to be encouraging. By the enforce
mont OF good laws drunkenness is
decreased and the business of police
courts made lighter.

SAY PRISONERS ARE
WOULD-BE BANDITS
STOLEN GOODS TAKEN FROM
GANG
Boys Found Filpplng Advertising
Cards on Broadway Said by
Police to Have Robbed
Many Places

In John Hays, Vincent Whitehead
and Glen Farnsworth the police claim
to have discovered youthful gang of
shoplifters and would-be highwaymen
that for extensive operations in Los
Angeles has had few equals.
The other boys were Tipping adver-
tising cards about the sidewalk at
Fifth and Broadway Monday afternoon.
Hays appeared to be the leader and
was the only one arrested at that time.
He then was charged with misde-
meanor for violating city ordinance
regulating the distribution of advertis-
ing matter.
While being placed aboard q car by
Patrolman Gilpin the lad succeeded in
crowding past a woman who was
placed between him and the Off
Ger. He jumped from the oppo-
site side of the car and ran south
on Broadway, but was overtaken just
as he neared Sixth street.
He was taken to the central police
station, where he was searched and a
revolver and a quantity of loot was
found.
He was booked on a charge of car
rying concealed weapons. Officers were
detailed on the case and the other
boys, Whitehead and Farnsworth, were
arrested. A search Of the boys rooms
revealed a quantity of stolen goods.
Recover Stolen Goods
Among the articles recovered are an
automatic pistol, holster, a filled cart
ridge belt, which are said to have been
taken from the Tufts-Lyon Hardware
~ hol
anese store on Broadway; a purse from
the Boston store; a bulldog revolver
from a place at Thirty eighth and San
Pedro streets; a revolver and six
pocket knives from the Garfield Hard
ware company; quantity of stickpins
from Bullocks; a silk watch fob from
the Central Department store and q
small caliber revolver and pair of
gauntlets taken from an automobile
which the boys entered and rode sew
eral blocks before abandoning. Two
black leather masks and a number of
other articles also were secured as a
result of the search.
"These boys are a bad lot" said
Capt. Walter Auble. Their system
was to enter store apparently to dis
tribute advertising cards. They would
then watch their opportunity and steal
whatever they could. Hays Is the old
est and the leader of the gang. He is
1s years old and has mother living in
Ell Reno, Okla. He roorned on South
Los Angeles street, but made it prac-
tice to frequently change his lodging
place.
The boys are also accused of having
stolen n number of small contribution
boxes from the Salvation Army at Pas
adena.
Another boy, whose name Capt.
Auble would not give, who is at lib
erty on a probation sentence, also was
arrested with the other boys. 1t was
found he had not participated In any
of the thefts and was allowed his lib
erty.

CHAUFFEUR FIGHTS A
PROFESSOR FOR GIRL
Pedagogue, Not Handy with Fists, SO
Draws Revolver-Drlver
Handsome Young
Man

FREELAND. Pa, June 5.-Enmity
growing out of rival suits for the hand
Of pretty Miss Martha Newton. a
school teacher, at the suburb of Jeddo,
near here, this morning resulted in
fight between Alfred Mant, chauffeur
Of John Markle, millionaire coal op-
orator of that place. and Professor
Wiend, principal of the school where
Miss Newton teaches. But for the
hasty departure of the chauffeur 1t Is
probable more than blows would have
passed.
Although a chauffeur. Mant is con-
sidered a handsome young man, and IS
highly regarded by the young women
of the town. Bad blood between the
men had existed for some time, and
this morning when the, professor met
the auto driver he told him to keep
away from Miss Newton.
Mant became angry and a;ld shot out this his
right. The professor tried to come
back, but, realizing his physical in
feriority, drew revolver. Then Mant
ran. It is said Miss Newton is SO an
CRY she will not speak to either OF the
con, ba tantS.
