French statistics show that there were
as many suicides under II years of age
in a single year at the beginning of the
twentieth century as there were in five
years at the beginning of the nine

condition is nearly as bad; in Prussia
it is said to |e worse.
The causes are mainly sexual pre-

Unless we can modify present con6i-

accounts for Uncle Sans recent ac-
tivity in preparing a parcels post map
and scattering copies of 1t broadcast

Uncle Sans map is very much like
the one shown above. Its most no
tfceable feature is the division of the
country into zones.
Now, you have doubtless heard of
the zone system in connection with
the parcels post and wondered what
it meant. A glance at Uncle Sam S
map will show you, though to COM
pletely understand it you may have
to imagine yourself as living at the
national capital.
The map shows clearly the relation
of each zone to the city of Washing

map showing the relation of each zone
to the city of Kokomo and it would

The zone marked one on the map
