Self Destruction an Increasing
Hazard in Life Insurance
in This Country.
MOST NUMEROUS IN The WEST
Statistics Show Suicide Rate Has Ap-
parentIy Reached Stationary Level
Highest Rates in Years Of
Great Business Depression.

New York.-An Intensive study OF
suicide in the United States, with sta
tistics analyzing self-destructlon from
almost every possible angle, is pub
lished in the Spectator. weekly In
suranee paper of this city.
The sections in which the greatest
number of suicides occur, the ages Mt
which the greatest number of persons
end their lives, the relative number
of self-killings OF the present day as
contrasted with other periods, are all
analyzed by the writer, Frederick l..
Hoffman.
The chief conclusion reached is that
the suicide rate in this country, while
fairly high. has apparently reached
stationary level. That is, 1t has
increased but n tiny fraction during
the last five years over the five years
preceding.
An unexplainable, or unexplained.
fact about American suicides is that
they are far more numerous in the
western, Rocky mountain and central
regions than in the East. The further
West the investigator looks, the more
suicides he finds.

More Men Than Women.

Many more men than women end
their lives. The tables show that the
highest rate for the male sex Is 215
ger cent and that the period of life
Mt which this number of men commit
suicide is between the ages of forty
five and ffty-four. The highest rate
for women is 1870 per cent. and the
favorite age for self-destruction is be-
tween fifty-five and sixty-four.
Two boys between the ages of FIVE
and nine are on record as having
killed themselves in the period be-
tween 1904 Ten was the most
youthful age at which there is record
of girls having committed suicide. 90
having made away with themselves
between ten and fourteen years.
There were 4s79S suicides In the
country between 1910 AMI 1914.
As to seasons. the greatest number
in May and June. the rate for those
months being 9.3. The smallest num-
ber occur in January-7.4.
Firearms We're the favorite method
during the period under analysis, Ia
432 persons having shot themselves.
Poisoning was next. with 1899. Then
came hanging. with 1907; asphyxia-
ton, 1894; cutting instruments. 3.142 !:
drowning. 2.716, and Jumping from
high places,S34.
Despite the virtually stationary rate
of suicide the writer regards self-de-
struction. in bis summing up. as an
increasing hazard In life Insurance
