My wife and | have spent a very

Offset by far by the fact that we have
been permitted to enjoy home life

gives me each night off and so each
day we have had little time for rec
reation together.
But now | have finished the course
here and am waiting to be transferred
to Pensacola for advanced training.
We got all theory in Boston and here
we have learned to fly and so | sup

First National
Bank And
Peoples State
To C0nsolidat,

This evening after the close of
banking hours, an important change
in banking circles is expected to take
place, the First National Bank and
the Peoples State Bank consolidat-
ing. Should the transaction be com.
pleted as expected, the Peoples
State Bank will not open Monday
morning, but its depositors will be
served at the First National the lat
ter agreeing taken over the deposits
of the former, and also portion of
the notes due the Peoples State.
The stock of the latter institution is
not affected by the transaction.
There will be no radical change in
the affairs of the First National
Bank, expect that it will be in bet
ter position even than heretofore to
serve its customers. Mr.. Clayton
will remain President of the bank,
and about the only change will be the
addition to the directorate of Mr.. j.
l.. Fouts, who will hold the office of
vice-president. Mr.. Fouts is one of
the leading bankers of Florida, being
at this time connected either as
president or vice president, with four
other banks-viz the First State
Bank of Winter Haven, the State
Bank of Barlow, the Mulberry State
Bank and the State Bank of Auburn
dale Mr. Fouts' connection will
bring added strength and solidity tc
this already substantial and flourish
ing institution. t
The consolidation is in line with
wise business policy during these
times, when it is desirable, wher
ever possible, to eliminate unneces
sary overhead expense and the dupli
cation of institutions where one cal
serve the public equally as we'll n
two or more. The change undoubt
eddy will be beneficial both for thu
public and those directly interested
in the two banks. 1t may be adde'
that all matters connected with tn
transaction have had the unqualifie'
approval of the State banking depart
ment.
The official statement issued b
the First National Bank is give

The German school boy kills himself
when his lessons go wrong, when he
can't keep up with his class, when he
is punished-in other words, when he
doesn't win. In an analysis Of suicides
OF 100 German school children, Prof.
Gutenberg OF Berlin found that nearly
400 were due either to fear Of punish
ment or Of humiliation, or inability to
keep up with the school work.
Suicides" says kennon, "are part Of
the manifestations Of national charac-
ter. The Germans who came here 40 or
80 years ago brought high suicide rate
with them and their descendants main
tain. The Irish, on the contrary,
brought a low suicide rate to this coun-
try and their children have 1t STILL"
In Prussia 30 years ago the average
number Of suicides Of children under IS
years was 35. Now it is between So and
90. The total for 1911 1.-THE latest avail

year nearly 700 young Prussians be-

NEW YORK, Dec. i7.-It's quite likely
the Kaiser did. as reported, try suicide
and it's quite likely he'll try again.
Such is the scientific view.
Psychologists and alienists say an eqi-
demic OF suicide in Germany is not un-
likely.
Germans are more prone than peo-
pie OF other nations to self-destruc-
ton.
The suicide rates for Prussia and Sax
onv are the highest in the world. The
average rate of self-murders in Berlin
for the past five years is 80 6, compared
with t6.9 for New York and ITO for
London. Germany has the most appal-
ling CHILD suicide rate in the world.
Professor Enrico Modselll, distinguish
ed Italian authority, in his work on
Suicide" expressed this conclusion
The highest suicide rates are given
by countries Of German race, and
the two stocks, German and Scandi-
navian. divide this supremacy. The cen
ter OF the purest German stocks is
Saxony the old and powerful land OF
the Teutons, and it presents a very high
average. Equally great IS the proper
ton in Lower Austria and Salisbury
which are almost pure German; in the
Saxon circles and in those Of Liegnitz,
Potsdam, Merseburg and Madgeburg OF
Prussia; In the German cantons Of
Switzerland and other places in which
the German element prevails.
The suicidal tendency is much smaller
in the Anglo-Saxon stock"
NJ l.. jacobson Of the u. s. Bureau
Of Statistics agrees that the Germans
rank flrstin suicide; the Scandinavians
second; the English and the Latins tied
for third, and the Slavs last.
George Kennan, the American author
ity. says: "The extremely high suicide
rate Of the German peoples long
ago attracted the attention OF European
sociologists. Suicide In Germany is al
most as common among children as
among grown people. Between 1888 and
1903 there were 1925 suicides among
the pupils OF the public schools in Prus-
STA alone, and most OF them were Of
boys and girls under Is years OF age. An
investigation made by the ministry Of
public instruction showed that this pre-
valence OF suicide among children was
