Nearly ~, 900 People Take
Own Lives in United States
in Last Five Years !

An intensive study OF suicide in the
United States, with statistics analyz-
ing self-desfrnction from almost every
POSSIBLE angle, Is. published IN The
Spectator, q weekly insurance paper
The sections In which the greatest
number OF suicides occur, the ages at
which the greatest number Of persons
end their lives, the relative number
OF self-kiHings of the present day as
eontrasted with other periods, are all
analysed by the writer. Frederick L.
Hoffman. /: T..
The chief conclusion reached Is that
the suicide rate in this country, while
fairly high, has apparently reached
a stationary level That Is, it has in.
creased but tiny fraction during
the past flGTears over the five years
An uaerpj Unable. or kplained,
fact about american suic - Is that
they are far more numef6ds in the
Western, Rocky Mountain and Cen.

further west the investigator looks,
the more suicides he finds.

percentage of self-destruetioRs per

These figures are for the year 1915,
considered separately, and in each OF
those cases show increases over the
percentage for the previous five years
The figures foF4100 American cities
show that the general suicide rate for
1915 was 207, as against 20.3 for the
period between 1904. The trifling
