ITS MANY SUICIDES

Toxic. Feb. Correspondence OF
The Associated Press.)-Unconsum-
mated love, debt and the failure of
men of education to earn sufficient liv-
ing are given by a writer in the we'll
known Chuo Korow review as the
three chief causes Of suicides in Japan,
the increase of which in recent years
has caused medical experts consider
able anxiety. The writer expressed
the opinion that the number of sui
cides is larger than appears in the
press and is struck by the fact that
the number of cases of self-destruc-
ton seems TO have increased with the
development Of western civilization.

leads to suicide. In spite of the fact
that the habit is regarded as evil, many
look 10 it as the only relief from mis-

both Christianity and Mathematician
ism many Japanese regard it as some

The evil is due to more insistent
spirit of pessimism following the wave

as TO the future for he finds that for
not many years has Japanese society
been in such state of stagnancy and
gloom
Statistics show that the greater
number of suicides are among the
young and that the favored methods
OF seeking death are by throwing them
selves in front of railroad trains and
by casting themselves over water falls.
So many people jumped to death over
the kegon waterfall preclpice at Chu-
zenji in late years that the authorities
built a high wall TO deter would be
suicides. The waterfall Is one of the
most beautiful in Japan. It carries off
the overflow from the lake which itself
is noted as the summer home Of the
