TEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL A SUICIDE
Declared Dead Mother Was Calling
 Her to Heaven.

Mother calls me. I must go to mother soon," said Harriet Owens, ten years old, not long ago. Her mother died four years ago. Little Harriet needed the imagined call. One shot from revolver in her home, 21O7 East Arizona street, Philadelphia, and liar riet was with her mother.
 Ever since the death of her mother she had been the mother" to her be- reaved father and her brother, four years old.
 Her grief was so great that at times her eyes swam with tears, and she would take out the flowers that had been preserved from her mothers cCf- fin and fondle the faded blooms that had touched the breast of the one she lot ed best of all.
