night and will return here to-day.
Mr.. Lindsay is at the head of one
of the largest mills in the state, he is
as progressive in business as he is
public spirited in municipal affairs
and deserves the honor that has come
TO him. Like the majority OF sue
cessful men he has been up against
the rocks and knows how to triumph
over the severest opposition. His
education was gained in night school
while his days were devoted to
work. He was reared in Sherman,
Texas, and possesses all the senti-
ments OF the people with whom he
lives and no man in Ardnore is held
IN higher regard or possesses more
warm friends among the business
men of the city.

which has been in power since 1907.
While Speaker Osmena Is not so welt
known in the United States as Quezon.
he Is considered one of the ablest men
in the islands. Senate President Que
ION recently referred to Osmena as
"the greatest Filipino since Rial"
The personal relations between Os-
mena and Quezon are probably without
a parallel in modern politics. They
have been the leading political figures
in the islands for II years, yet there
has never been the slightest indication
Of rivalry between them. Throughout
their college life as well as their long
political service each has refused to be
candidate for any position that the
other aspired to.
During the years Quezon was the
Philippine delegate in the American
Congress he won the esteem and con-
hdence of both the Republican and
Democratic sides of the chamber.
Whenever he spoke he was assured OF
a good attendance One of the official
short hand reporters once declared
Quezon used the purest English of any
member of the House.
Osmena, as president of the Nacion-

city, only three developed influenza
or pneumonia, while Of PIT Y. M. G.
A. workers who were not vaccinated,
IS contracted influenza or pneumonia.
Doctor Cecil in report on the
results at Camp Upton, said:
"The first figures showed only II
cases of pneumonia Of oil types oc-
curing among 1850 men who re-
ceived vaccine; whereas, among UNI
vaccinated troops during the same Pc
riod there was a total of 173 cases Of
pneumonia of all types. For the ten
weeks which the men were under OBJ
servation, the pneumonia death rate
for vaccinated troops was only .S3 per
thousand; for the unvaccinated it was
1913.
Altogether 1890 men, or about
80 per cent of the entire strength Of
Camp Wheeler, were vaccinated
against pneumonia with pneumococcus
lipovaccine. Both the local and
general reactions produced by the
vaccine were mild. Only per cent
of those who received the vaccine were
sufficiently affected to receive hos
pital care. None of these were
seriously i'll and majority Of them
returned to duty In two or three days
after admission"
The limitations Of the vaccine and
some of the difficulties in bringing 1t
into general use We're stated as fol-
lows:
"One Of the chief difficulties which
we encountered In fighting against
pneumonia Is the variety Of types OF
Even If streptococcus, influenza and
other rare forms are eliminated for
the reason that they are not often

all of them. If Type 4 pneumococcus

SUICIDES ON INCREASE
Self Destruction Wave Sweeping Over

A known total Of 5,121 deaths by
suicide occurred in this country in

suicide. OF these 1922 were masculine
and 1900 feminine. There were Al
child suicides, 225 boys and 252 girls.
The average age was Is for boys and
16 for girls. The youngest girl suicide
was 49, In one instance four-year-
old boy killed himself. The other ok
IRENE was q suicide at 100 years.
Neglect or mistreatment at home or
lack Of sympathetic handling at school
were the major reasons for the child
suicides. Shooting was the chief
method with boys and poison with
girls. 1t Is claimed that since the
signing of the armlstice there has
been a constantly increasing number
of suicides everywhere.
