War Curbs Suicide.

Sir Bernard Mullet, registrar gen
eral of the British empire, announced
recently that suicide had fallen OF
strikingly in England since the begin
ming of the war The explanation is
that the national unity of feeling, the
suhordination of self and the sharing
of sympathy on all sides makes the in
divldual's personal injuries less i'm
portant and induces him to forget his
own desperation. Personal indulgenceS
and excesscs of immortality, causes of
insanity and mclancholia, are curbed
and mlnimi2cd naturally by the econ
omies enforced upon the populace.
Discipline in eating, dressing, working
has also beneficial effect in keeping
the mind sane and free from morbid
broodlngs.

one of the projects outlined by the
committee on botany of the national
research council is the search for wild
plants which may he used rs wartime
substitutes for the more costly crop
plants. During the Civil war Dr. John
Porcher. Southerner, published II
hook giving list of plants of the
South which could be substituted for
much-nceded food and drug plants. 1t
is suggested that information might be
obtained from hunters, trappers,
woodsmen, farmers, Indians and the
foreigners, who pick up considerable
food from the countryside, Similar in.
formation is desired concerning plants
that eau be used in medicine.

Local Police Docket Much
More Clear Than A
Year Ago
FEWER VAGRANTS is
HELD TO BE CAUSE
Intoxication Continues To Be
In Lead AS Offense, But
Is Decreasing

Is Mt. Vernon experiencing wave
of good behavior on the part of the en-
tire population or has the fear of the
law been so firmly impressed on the
no desire to court disaster by viola
lating It, or Is it merely that instead
of being in the throcs of a moral up
lift the nc'erdo-wclls are fortunate
in not having been caught?
This question is prompted following
an examination of the police court
docket of 1917 and the preceding year,
which indicate that for one of the
three possible reasons given above
MI. Vcrnon's citizens are making
better showing this year than last.
The local minions of the law gath.

tunateS and buns are merely permit

spend the night in the jail. This
number has materially decreased dur
ing the last year owing to the fact
that the city ceased running IA hotel
for such men when the old lookup
was vacated and city prisoners were
lodged in the county Jail. There were
only 2G5 vagrants locked up during
/ 1917.
Dcducting these figures from the to-
tai arrests in each year 1917 shows a
decrease of 1902, thorc having been
373 arrests in 1916 and only 27l for
this year. March was the banner
month of 1916 for arrests, 2Sl persons
vaBrants included, experiencing the
sensations of being "pinchod," but
January of 1917 took the lead with 135
February made Il brave attempt to
take first place, totaling 1874 and
March was forced into third place with
! only &C arrests.
The popular crime intoxcation
which was classified recently by &

Nearly all of them are working pco-

B|LLY.DkZED BY
SCHOOL BOARDS
QUICK TURNDOWN

Billy Sunday was dszed today upon
receiving the report from DR.. Isaac
Ward. his pinch hitting preacher
that the Board OF Education had re-
fused Billy permission to speak in
the high schools here. II all seeL.IS
incomprehensible to Billy. He said:
"I have spoken before some OF the
best colleges and schools in the
country. Have been asked to speak.
In every case the teachers and stu
dents have treated me royalty. Can't
understand the trend of events here"
said Billy scratching his head quiz
zicalIy. 1t is beginning to dawn upon
Billy that everything done in Wash
ington Is done in an official way"
Guess I'll wait until l know more
about the matter" he said.
You know that ] am particular
while talking before students in
their schools"
Billy showed a reluctance to talk
about the matter of the Board Of
Education refusing to allow him to
speak in the high schools here. but
there Is no doubt that Billy's sense
of what he considers fair play has
been jolted by the local school auth
critics. Bi'ly has already spoken in
the Mckinley Manual Training
School.
