Suicide Rate in America
 At Lowest Ebb During 1919

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.--The sui. eide rate in the United States reach ed the lowest ebb in 1919, with per centage of 14.2, according to figures compiled by Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician. embracing the period from 1900 to 1920. During 1919 there were 3,S18 cases of suicide reported against 4.569 in 1908, which showed the highest rate of death by self destruction.
 MT. Hoffman stated in his report that it was hard to assign causatiya factor in the suicide phenomena but that in periods of economic de pression, higher rate is noted. Dur ing the eras of prosperity there is a notable diminution. he said. ThF most sinister aspect revealed by ar analysis of suicide. is the increasing number of murderers who take theii own lives following the commission of homicide. MT. Hoffman declared. The ratio of suicides, by geograph ical divisions as compiled by MT Hoffman shows the Pacific coas states the highest. and the South ern States the lowest. in the record compiled for 1919.
