u. S. SUICIDE RATE
REACHED LOWEST EBB
IN HISTORY IN 1919

New York. Dec. 13.-The suicide
rate in the United States reached
the lowest ebb in 1919, with per-
centage of 14.2, according to fig
ures compiled by Frederick L.
Hoffman, statistician, embracing
the period from 1900 to 1920. Dur
ing 1919 there were ISIS cases
Of suicide reported against 1859
in 1908, which showed the highest
rate OF death by selfdestruction.
Mr. Hoffman stated in his report
that it was hard to assign a eausa-
tive factor of the suicide phenon-
tnon, but that in periods OF eco,
homie depression, a higher rate is
roted. During the eras of pros.
perity, there is a noticeable diminu-
lion, he said. The most sinister
aspect revealed by an analysis of
suicide, is the increasing number
of murderers who take their own
lives following the commission of
homicide, Mr.. Hoffman declared.
The ratio of suicides, by geo.
graphical divisions as compiled "
Mr. Hoffman shows the Pacific
coast states the highest, and the
southern states the lowest, in the
record compiled for 1919.

DROP IN PRICES
A HARD BLOW TO
KANSAS FARMERS
Reductions Have Cost Them

Market Prices Oct. !,
According to Estimate.

Topeka, kanS., Dec. 13.--ThC
drastic reductions in market prices
of wheat, corn, livestock and other
AGRICULTURAL products nave cost
the farmers of Kansas at least
5000 000. 900, according to a pre-
liminary estimate by the state
board of agriculture. Based on
market prices October 1t was es-
minated that the value of the state s
agricultural products would reach
81, 200, 100000. a new high record
for Kansas. But now 1t Is believed
that the total may not reach the
billion dollar mark.
The board of agriculture is now
engaged in the difficult task of de-
t"rmining the value of 1920 farm
products for tho official report to
be issued in the near future. Wide
fluctuations in the market prices
of all the principal crops as vel!
as livestock have comp .icated the
work. l. e. Davis. assistant sec

Both wheat and corn--of which
Kansas had bumper crops-flpctu :
ated widely in price during the
year. The Kansas City cash wheat
market lowered around So bush :.

until the new crop came in. Then
the drop began. On September Is
wheat was approximately $2.62, Oh
October $40, and 1t is now be-
tween $3.50 and $40. The drop
in corn prices was even more yio-
lent. In January it was $1.54 a
bushel. The price increased until
it reached 50 in May. BY October
it had dropped to nearly 81. Now
the price is approximately 20 cents.
According 30 a recent report by
the board. wheat Is selling as low
as $1.25 a bushel and corn for 80

and ashes. electric elevators lift the
subway cars from the tunnel level
to stores and office buildings,
where they are emptied and re-
filled, and then lowered again to
the tracks below.
The subway tracks underlay ev-
cry street in the loop district, COW
ering a district twenty-five blocks
long and zine blocks wide, and in
addition the network of TUNE S ex-
tends north under the river to the
warehouse ana railroad district
along North Water street, and west
of the south branch of the river
for six blocks through the railroad
and factory district of the near
west side.
-Four Receiving Stations.
Four receiving stations outside of
the loop gather incoming merchan-
disc for delivery to downtown
buildings, and distribute outgoing
packages for truck haulS to other
parts of the city.
Every railroad station but one
has connections, and freight and
express billed from one station to
another is transferred by the sub
way. In addition every station but
one has connections for sending
mail to the postoffice. Special
trains of steel mail ears carry the
sacks through the tunnel.
The freight cars used are four
feet wide and twelve feet long
while the track has two-foot
gauge. The merchandise cars have
a capacity of six tons: ash and dirt
cars hold three and one-half Gu
bic yards; and the coal cars have
a capacity of four tons Approx
mately 1000 shippers use the sub
way system.
Operation Is Electrical.
The entire operation is electrical.
A train dispatcher and telephones
control the movement of the trains.
At every outlet to a downtown
station an employe is stationed to
operate the lifting elevators, re-
ceive and dispatch cars, and act as
agent for the company. The COM
pany employs more than 600 men.
One of the advantages of the
tunnel, particularly in the trans
portation of refrigerated and other
perishable products is said to be
the even temperature, which re-
mains constant at 55 degrees the
year around. Ventilating apparatus
keeps a constant flow of fresh air
circulating through the system,
while seventy-two electric pumps
remove what water seeps in.
Elaborate precautions have been
taken to prevent flooding Of the
tunnel when fires break out in one
of the connecting buildings. Water
tight doors shut off the elevator
shafts so that the tons of water
which firemen pour onto fire
cannot reach the main system.
The subway was started in 1901
and completed in 1909. Thirty
stores, thirty office buildings, three
public buildings, six mail connec-
tons with mail order houses,
branches to twenty-seven railroad
stations, four public freight sta
tons, two coal yards and the
refuse disposal outlet are among
the connections served.

UNIQUE SUBWAY
USED To HANDLE
CHICAGO FREIGHT
1t Keeps the Loop District
Comparatively Free Of
Heavy Traffic; Is Located
40 Feet Under Ground.

Chicago, Dec. 13.-Forty feet
Underground Chicago has one of
the most unique subway systems in
the world. Devoted entirely to the
hauling of freight, it keeps the con-
gested loop district comparatively
free Of heavy traffice vehicles. Of
1iclals of the tunnel company esti-
mate more than 5000 trucks would
nave to pass through loop streets
daily to duplicate the work done
by the subway.
Over siXty-two miles of narrow
gauge track, 1872 electric loeomo-
tives and 5000 freight cars hauled
100000 tons of merchandise and
100000 tons of coal last year.
Scores Of downtown office build
ings and stores receive their freight
direct from the railroad depots via
the subway. Their coal comes by
the same route, and at night the
ashes are hauled away through
the underground tunnels. to be
dumped on the lake front, where
acres of land are reclaimed yearly.
The ground on which the great new
Field museum, at the south end of
Grant park, is built, was few
years ago q part OF the lake. The
tunnel company filled it In with
ashes.
Removal of Dirt.
Another unusual service is the
removal of dirt from building ex-
cavations. A shaft is sunk from
the building site to the tunnel lev
ell under the street. Workmen with
wheelbarrows dump the dirt down
the shaft, where 1t falls into cars
of waiting train, to be hauled to
the lake front disposal station.
