Suicide Among German Children.
\ Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there Is no dispute about
the fact Indeed. 1t has been said that
the majority OF suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the WALL has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools. and the undeveloped mind of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know If any OF
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that OF
child suicide.

appetite, was nervous and discour-

NO CHANCE FOR SPEEDERs
An Oregon Sheriff Has Remarkable
Success With Wire and Stop
Watch.

With a long piece of copper wire,
batteries, a buzzer and stop-watch.
Deputy Sheriff Allen Hart and as
sistants have become the bugaboo of
motorists of Hood county who are
prone to speed above the twenty-five
miles an hour limit on the county
highways.
The officer has measured the piece
of copper wire used for his operations
in detecting the speeders. He stands
at one end with his watch and the
aid at the other. When machine
passes the aid he presses the buzzer
and Hart starts his stop-watch catch
ing the time as the machine passes
his end of the wire. In case the car
is going the other way, Hart sets his
stop mechanism on his watch to work
and catches the time, when the buZzer
is sounded from the other end.

Quietly, with an almost touching
simplicity, these two men informed
me that they knew Madame Bazire

these transactions they gave to a
