Hudson beauty is priced by all own

STATISTICS SHOW
SUICIDE INCREASE
: Save q Life League Estimates Num-
ber Not Less than $4,000
In 1920.

New York. June 11-Divorces, con-
gested living conditions, and enact
ment Of the eighteenth amendment
are giving as probable cases for the
alarming increase In the number of
suicides in 1920, according to reports
received by officers Of the Save a
Life League. with offices in this city.
DR.. F. L. Hoffman, statistician of the
organization estimates the number at
not less than 10000 OF these report
ed cases averaging Is years. the girls
16.
Rev. Harry Warren, president Of
the league. also declares that restrict
IONS In sale OF narcotic drugs helped
to swell the total OF unfortunates
who died by their own hands.
Dr. warren cites many trivial caus-
es 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
MS wife had constructed out of tur-
nfps and glucose. A youth killed him
SELF, because he was asked to eat
nam and eggs for supper. A woman
became morbid because her husband
refused to partake of her clam chow
der. A couple disputed over whether
the bed room window should be op-
ened an inch or not less than two
fcet at night. The wife's argument
prevailed and the man killed him
SELF
Many of the suicides reported were
among prosperous individuals and
Dr. norman argues that no one bas-
lc reason can be assigned for the
suicidal increase
DR.. Warren believes il IS possible
to cut down the growing number of
suicides by making it more difficult
Tor adults and children to obtain
fire arms and deadly poisons. He
urges that children be definitely in
structed as to the sin and futiI,tv of
taking ones own life.
The Save Life Leagua was found-
ed few years ago to cope with the
suicide problem. 1t offers the chance
or encouragement, DR.. Warren says.
10 persons in mental anguish who
may be tottering on the brink of self
destruction
DR.. Warren has three methods
which he says are of value in reach
ing individual cases OF world weary
persons. One is spiritual counsel, an
other calm reasoning, and the third
Simely financial assistance.
The principal thing, he says, Is to
reach quickly the mentally tortured
and advise them to look on the
brighter side of life. He says he has
found 1t an easy matter to turn such
persons to lives of usefulness and
profitable service.
