SUICIDE ON STEAMER

Detroit, Sept 2O.-Bair Crohon OF
Grand Rapids, treasurer of the firm
of Crohon & Roden, known during
the war as the "millionaire hide

lations in hides, was found dying
today in his stateroom aboard the
steamer Western States which ar
rived here from Cleveland.
He had taken carbolic acid. He
died at the receiving hospital Il
short time after he was found.

ton charging him with grand lar.

to commit suicide by gas at Corr
Pa. according to notes in MS

JWsshington HernId-Public Ledger
Service, Special Cable DIspatch)


Paris, Sept. 2O.-WhiIe the states
men Of France have been busiI,
occupied in watching every move on
the worlds political chess board. It
is a question whether at the same
time they have given sufficient at
tenuon to the deep internal problem
which today is menacing the life
Of the nation-that of depopuIatIon
and impaired public health.
Just how long France can go
hlithely along with her foreign poll
cics which are dependent on a Wig
OrOus nation is a question wide V
discussed by men of science WhJ
constantly are drawing to the at
tCntiOn Of tho politicians and the
general public tho fact that the
death rate is almost double the
birth rate. that the physique Of
Young FrcHchmcn IS declining and
that il is no longer question Of
how France will live but how 70
prevent it from dying out.
In no province are there NOR"
births than deaths.
Today these facts are SHOWN In
an amazing poster put out for the
public. showing a map of France
based on tho latest census. With
the war losses excluded it shows
that there are eleven provinces
where the deaths are about thrc-
times the number of births. In con-
tinental France there are only four
provinces where tho deaths are
fewer than $50 per cent of the
births and III other provinces. COM
prisinE the greater part of FRAME .
the rate of deaths based on every
hundred births reaches from $50 to
% per cent.
in the matter Of tuberculosis
France loses 600 every day while
the doctors arc claiming tho disease
Is cura bic. Each year there is a
loss of 10000 infants under one year
old. Of which the doctors say 10000
arc p-eyCntable deaths.
Among the discussions on health
in France there is the testimony Of
an examining physician in the high
schools of Paris which was given a
display in the Matin. The doctors
are alarmed at the decline in the
physical stature Of the educated
youth in France. and the chairman
Of the board said:
They are not mcn-merely phan-
toms of men"
The report showed that one

Young men were found lighter in

The labor situation here remains

from Chicago read:
For the first time since the be-
ginning of the war period there are
more men looking for jobs than
there arc jobs to give them. The
Illinois state free employment bu-
reau has twice as many applications
for jobs every day as it had two
months ago. Only tho most en-
Cient now can get jobs"
1T is true that efficient workmcn
arc being demanded now" Dr. Flynn
said. Industry was willing to put
up with green help during the war
period. but now skilled hands are
desired at machines and work
benches.
But that docs not mean that We
have no market for unskillcd work
men. They are always desired for
farm hands, machinists' helpers and
so on.
Taking it all in all, should say
that we have about the same de-
mand for labor and about the same
number of applicants for jobs that
we have for past eighteen months"
High Prices influence.
DR.. Flynn told Of a survey which
has just been taken by the State
industrial commission. 1t was found
that only ono class of industries
shows reduction in output or in
number of employees; that which has
TO do with manufacture of clothing
The reason for this was given, in
the survey as prevailing uucer-
tainty in business" According to
Or. Flynn that uncertainty is the
direct result of high prices.
