SUICIDE WAKE
 FOLLOWS AFTER TRADE DEPRESSION

Sacramento, Cal, July IS. - That suicide wave" is sweeping over California as a result of business de- pression and economic disturbances common to after-war periods, was the statement of L. E. Ross, head of the States Bureau of Vital Statistics, in comm enting on his official report on states that 314 Californians took their own lives during the first four months of this year. Of this num- Der only seventy-eight were women.
 RosS's report covers January, Feb ruary, March and April. of 1921. If the suicide rate maintained during the first four months continues Cal ifornia will have 942 suicides during the year, the greatest number of any year in the history of the State ex- cept 1915.
 During 1920 business was good and work was plentiful" declared Ross, and consequently we had only 695 suicides.
 The average age of men shielding is forty-two," Ross said, this being due to the fact that it is about this time of life he finds it hard to com pete with the younger men in the field. As a result of this situation there were very few suicides during the World war, as the young men were away, and work was plentiful"
 The statistician declared that if economic conditions improve suicides will become less frequent, but if they fail to improve more suicides will history of the State. Such conditions, he said, have been found to exist during the reaction which follows every war.
