70 be exact, 1917 persons out Of every

Although the data show that the per

Ing exception. In New York last year
the rate was only lS9 to the 10000 where
a. from 1900 to 1879 san Francisco aver

However, the suicide rates in Hoboken
and Newark have for years been far in
excess of the average city. and this may
n part explain New Yorks smaller per-
c,utage
Mr.. Hoffman finds that the western
cites have heavier rates than the east

full honor of leading all other cities In
the percentage of suicides. This is strik-
ingly brought out in statistics for the last
year. which show that san Francisco

at Deerneld and Other places and
thought 1t n fitting mode of celcbrn-
ton. She succeeded in arousinf: en-
thusiasm in others so that at the town
meeting in March sum OF money was
appropriated for the purpose.
For some time the local Thomas chit
tenden chapter of the d. a K. has de-
sired to mark the historic center OF the
town, the site OF the First Church and tho
old revolutionary drilling ground. Accord
ingly, since late winter II has been raising
money for bronze marker to place on
this spot. II has asked and received the
generous cooperation OF individuals and
clubs. The ceremony Of unwilling the
marker will take place tomorrow after
noon. An address viii he delivered by the
