Congress on February 19 of this

NIT the settler to take a sufficient
acreage of nonmineral, nontimbered,

sia have just been made public. Ac-
cording to these, the popular"
months for committing suicide are
May, June and July.
Women favor May while men pre-
fer July. February takes pride Of
place as being the month in which
the fewest suicides occur. Thirty per
cent of the male and 2S per cent Of
the female suicides occur in the
spring and the next most in the sum-
mer, autumn and winter in the order
named. The fewest suicides occur
Immediately after sunset. Youthful
persons prefer the night time for sui
eide, while adults more often choose
the morning or afternoon.
In Berlin alone there is an average
of twenty suicides weekly in June.
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are
the favorite days, this, it is believed,
being due to the reaction after too
joyful Sundays. Friday shows the
fewest suicides, as people on the brink
of despair often recover their courage
