INCREASE IN
 PERCENTAGE .. OF SUICIDES
Bulletin of Life Insurance Company Shows 26 Per Cent. Increase Over 1920 During First $ e V e Il Months of Present Year.

New York, Nov. 30-Suicide Is on the increase in this country. Since ures in all their dread significance became available, the fact of in- creasing self-destruction has been pointed out by more than one per turbed observer.
 Now comes the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company with statistics to show that the suicide rate among the insured in the first seven months of 1921 increased some 26 per cent. over the rate in the same period of 192O. The suicide rate in 1921 during this period was 7.3 per 100000 of popu- lation.
 31, 1920, the suicide rate declined steadily. Those were years of con- stant and increasing prosperity. War orders, war profits, war dividends, war wages and war bonuses kept everyone happy up to the arn1istice. And then came the post-bellum period of mad expansion of industry and in come that ended so abruptly early in 1920. Business dropped, profits were nil, and the grim wolf of unemploy- nent staIked upon the scene. Sui eide began to increase.
 Suicide and Economies.
 Yet In the later months of 1920" says the Statistical Bulletin of the pany, "a fundamental change seems to have set in which has continued throughout the first seven months of 1921. Month after month the suicide rate is mounting over the correspond ing figures for the months of 1920, and 1t is very likely that the rate, for the whole year will be higher than for the preceding one.
 "It is an interesting problem" adds the Bulletin, 'tto know whether the unemployn7 ent situation of the last year is, in fact, responsible for the observed conditions as to suicide.
 Are suicide rates a very sensitive index of the prevailing economic the Bulletin. And then it answers it's own question in four short words of dire import:

 THE PNEUMONIA OF
 THE ELDERLY
 Many elderly people suffer from the t'pneum of the aged.' The disease may be latent and may set in without the customary chill. The cough and the expectoration may be slight The physician finds it diff cult to locate the part of the lung af- fected, but generally this is the most dependent, the lower part of either lung as the patient lies on his side or back, the condition is then that of +'hypostatic'' congestion or pneumo- mia. Such ailment comes about by reason of great debility, with feeble heart action; and it is generally fatal. Many an apopleXy terminates thus.
 Pneum onia, is indeed one of the terminal affections such as are sec ondary to other diseases. Especially during the winter months patients with chronic tuberculosis and other pulmonary diseases, chronic liver troubles, heart diseases, arteriooscle- rosis, diabetes, BrightS disease. ma laria, typhoid fever, influenza - such patients are very likely to be carried off by a pneumonia which, until toward the end, gives very little evil dence of its presence-some little elevation of the temperature, per haIps, slightly increased and 1albored so near the end that adequate exam ination is not possible nor even, in deed, advisable. In diabetes especi- ally, the fatal issue is determined rather by pulmonary ahscess or gan grene than by straight pneumonia.
 It is an odd kind of paradox but a valid one, nevertheless, that many people, the aged especially, do not die of the disease from which they have suffered most. Secondary or terminal affections carry off most sufferers from incurable ma1adies. Besides the terminal pneumonia, pleurisy, or given to all high scores.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Adhesions.
 What are cause, cure and the symptoms of adhesions?
 Answers. During some serious in fiammation parts opposite to one another will become covered with the products of the inflammation plasmer or pus. After the disease, the op- posing parts thus covered adhere with often painful results. Anothex which intestines adhere to one another when the exudate (plasna or pUs) dries up; som chimes an opera tion may then have to be done fol- lowed by adhesions for which the surgeon may be blamed; but the req son is generally that patients delay to have operations performed long after the latter are advised. In many cases adinesions cause pain and ner- upon other tissues in the abdomen to which they are attached. Fornenta- tions and the like, as advised by the family doctor, are in many cases helpful and bring relief; but in many others I am most sorry to note, a, subsequent operation, to separate the adhesions is necessary. No patient must think of acting in such 3, case. It is a doctors job; don't take any risk about it.

MAR|C0PA WILL
. COOPERATE IN
SIGNING ROUTE
Phoenix Road Men Agree to
Work With, Other Sections
In Encouraging Travel

According to the Cochise County
members OF the Southwestern Bank
head Association, who returned yes
terday from Tucson, Phoenix and
Maricopa County will cooperate with
the other counties in Arizona through
which the Bankhead highway is rout-
ed, in the matter of signing the en-
tire route with the signs of the South
ern California Automobile Club. This
was the report of the Phoenix director
to the meeting on Monday in Tucson.
Directors were in attendance at the
meeting from practically every part
OF Arizona President Fred Suffer,
OF Hlsbee, presided. and among those
in attendance were George Buxton
and Ely Martin, of Douglas: A. H.
Gardner OF Tombstone; J. &. Heating
and A. G. Wrenn, of Florence; r. r..
Wayland, of Phoenix; Lawrence d..
Clark, of Bisbee; S. H. Bowyer and
Stanley Kilt, of Tucson.
Declaring that there had been a
general misunderstanding on the part
OF the southern counties, Director
Wayland stated that the Maricopa
county people were prepared to go
ahead under the agreement reached
, at the meeting of the Southwestern
Bankhead association in Douglas. AT
that, time is was decided that the
| Southern California Automobile club
should sign the entire route between
| Ell PaSo and Yuma. A matter of three
! weeks ago, however, the board of SUI
/ pervisors of Maricopa county wrote to
I the officials of the Southern Califor-
mia club and refused them permission
to sign any road in that county.
Maricopa to Cooperate
Immediately following the action OF
| the Maricopa county authorities, a
meeting of the associations director
| ate was called and convened in Tue
son. The Phoenix director was not
present. 1t was decided at that time
to again seek the cooperation of Phoe
nix and if it failed to materialize, tC
seek to change the routing the Bank
head to Ajo route. This was the stat
US of the matter until a few days age
when the Maricopa county people got
into line. Director Wayland pledged
the support of the Phoenix Chamber
OF Commerce to the proposal and de
clared that it was their desire to dc
