An Anti-Suicide Fence.

One of the strangest fences on REQ

of Yonkers. N. Y, has just ordered
built 1t will be fence to keep sui

Several times in rec~n years des-
pondent persons have shuff1ed off the
mortal coil by leaping into the Fort
Field reservoir. one of the reservoirs
supplying " .kers with water Some
times the bodies haze been recovered
quickly. but on a few occasions the
corpses we're in the water for day
or so The loss of water in draining
the reservoir is big item and Is es-
pecially to be guarded against since
the city found 1t necessary to husband
every drop of its supply. So the
