SUICIDES LAST
YEAR INCREASED
REPORTS REVEAL
Divorces, Congested Living
Conditions and Enactment
of the 18th Amendment
Are Probable Causes.
By The Associated Press. }

New York, June IL. - Divorces,
cOngcsted living conditions and en-
actment of the eighteenth amend
ment are given as probable causes
for the alarming increase in the
number of suicides in 1920 ac-
cording to reports received by Of
fiCeIs of the Save-a-Life league
with offices in this city. DIR. F.
l.. Hoffman, statistician of the or
ganization, estimates the number
at not less than $4,000. OF these
reported cases 7O7 were children,
he said, the boys averaging Is
years, the girls 16.
Rev. Harry Warren, president Of
the league, also declares that re-
strictions in sale of narcotic drugs
helped to swell the total of un-
fortunates who died by their own
hands.
DIR. Warren cites many trivial
causes as the impelling force for
suicide. One man was distressed
because his new suit did not have
enough buttons on the sleeves of
the coat. Another man rebelled at
eating a lemon pie his wife had
constructed out of turnips and
glucose. A youth killed himself
because he was asked to eat ham
and eggs for supper. A woman
became morbid because her hus-
band refused to Dartake of her
clam chowder. A couple disputed
over whether the bedroom window
should be opened an inch or not
less than two feet at night. The
wife's argument prevailed, and the
man killed himself
Many of the suicides reported
were among prosperous individu-
ais, and DR.. Hoffman argues that
no one basic reason can be as
signed for the suicidal increase.

VIENNA, Dec. 23.---Opinion seems gem
eral here that the law passed by Parlia-
ment yesterday providing for registra-
tion Of all foreign moneys and securities
held at home or abroad by Austrians and
In Austria by aliens Is only forerunner
Of general confiscation by the Govern
ment In order to obtain the funds neces-
sary to carry out its plans. This and
the fear that these foreign currcncies
will not be settled for in cash but for
long term 8 per cent. State bonds caused
a serious panic here on the Bourse. with
foreign curfenoies tumbling fast.
The law calls for reports to the tag
Office by December 2S covering these
holdings. Failure to comply with the
measure may be punished by imprison-
ment at hard labor for term Of ten
years.
AS Vienna is one Of the most active
currency markets of Europe, the effects
Of the new measure. which Is character
lied as dangerous adventure by many
newspapers here. may be very far reach
ing, but they cannot yet be foreseen, as
1t is still uncertain how far the Gov
ernment intends to go.
Officials Of the Government said yes
terday there was no intention either to
requisition or to .seuuester holdings OF
foreign currencies and securities here
and that persons having such holdings
had the right to dispose Of them as they
saw fit SO long as they complied with
the Governments special regulations. 1t
was said an opportunity would be af-
forded both Austrians and foreigns In
this country to invest their foreign
moneys and securities with the Vienna
Government and that they would re-
ceive in exchange obligations by the
Government. payable either in foreign
money or in Austrian crowns, bearing
an interest rate OF per cent. year.
The law will affect foreigners only to
the extent Of their holdings OF foreign
moneys and securities In Austria, while
It applies to all such holdings of AUS
TRANS. whether such holdings are in this
or foreign countries. Special provision
Is made for firms requiring foreign ex-
change for trade purposes
The passage Of the measure by Par
lament was supplemented by decree
by the Minister Of Finance reservng the
right TO trade In foreign moneys to
members Of the Currency Commission
and declaring that all other persons In
Austria must sell their dollars. pounds
sterling and francs within week.
The new law is regarded as radically
experimental. The Socialists here have
congratulated the Minister of Finance
on what they declared were the extreme
measures taken by him.
Meanwhile Vienna newspapers are
taking perspective of the new coali-
tion between the Christian Socialists and
tho Social Democrats.
