War Curbs Suicide

Sir Bernard Mullet. registrar gen
eral Of the British empire. announced
recently that suicide had fallen off
strikingly In England since the begin
ming of the war. The explanation Is
that the national unity Of feeling, the
subordination Of self and the sharing
of sympathy on all sides makes the in
dividuals personal injuries less i'm
portant and induces him to forget his
own desperation. Personal lndulgences
and excuses of immortality, causes Of
insanity and melancholia, are curbed
and minimized 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
broodings.

USED STRING TO STIR ANGER

by's Brother Was Hanged.

The conversation turned on the
wonderful pungency and power of in
vective of the old-time London cabby
as narrated by Charles Dickens in
"Pickwick Papers" and by other au-
thors of that and subsequent time.
"A few years ago" said DR.. John H..
Oliver, In the Indianapolis News, Il
paid my second visit to London. The
cabby and his horse had passed away.
The horse-drawn omnibus was no
more, the petrol-driven bus having
taken its place. l told Briton whom

the outside next the driver, that /
found him a most interesting charac-
ter.
So do l. said my British acquaint-
ance, but he is not at all as interesting
as his predecessor of the old fashion.

time drivers going through street

highly ornate invective between the
two drivers began. 1t was the perfect
flower, yes, the full fruitage | thought
of profanity and abuse.
But | was mistaken. There was
more and worse to come. When the
wheels had become unlocked and we
were slowly moving away, my friend,
the driver, drew from his pocket bit
of string and holding it above his
head swung it slowly to and fro.
1.-The other driver at once jumped
down from his bus and, whip in hand,
struck at the string The wealth
of epithet he then used showed that all
that had preceded it was as mild and
kindly as the softest baby chatter. Our
driver answered not word but as he
drove slowly on continued the string
shaking.
Il wondered what there could be In
this simple bit of dumb-show to make
the other busman so frantlcally angry.
Then my driver gave the explanation:
