SUICIDE

Doctors are more apt to resort to suicide than members Of
any other profession. This is revealed by the latest suicide
records, which show doctors at the head of the list among
professional men.
Discussing this in American Medicine magazine, DR.. S.
Dana Hubbard of New York City reaches the conclusion that
occupational strain is greatest in the medical profession.
A physician is in constant danger, dealing with diseases
in their most advanced stages, especially the incurable kind.
An unthinking public oyerlooks this meritorious service.
You never heard of a doctor backing out of a case because he
fears the malady, however dread. A lesson in courage and
selflsacrifce for the good of humanity.
In proportion to numbers engaged in the profession, the
suicide rate among doctors in 1921 was not much higher than
among lawyers.
Suicides last year totaled SO doctors and 81 lawyers. But
there are many more doctors than lawyers.
Both professions require courage and the will power of
endurance. They have this in common; years of costly edu-
cation, then years Of comparative inactivity, sitting around
waiting until they have a paying business built up.
F~orty-fve seems to be the average age of suicide. Hence
it must be the danger year, the blacklist hour that comes just
before the dawn of success.
At As a man is beginning to grow weary, after years Of
logged effort, and is apt to become discouraged unless con-
stantly on his guard.
Encouragement brings ~brooding. And brooding may re-
suit in the fit of temporary insanity in which most suicides
occur.
The suicide ignores the lesson of countless centuries, this
being the lesson: There is always a way out of any trouble.
No trouble endures for good. Luck changes as surely as the
ocean tide turns.
The suicide is like a man who, at 4 in the morning, gives
UP hope that the sun will ever rise again.
A mighty lesson for all Of us, this truth, that it is always
blacklist just before dawn. 1t is part of the wisdom we have
inherited from the past. And it is eternally true.

The conviction of three persons in the so-called milk
conspiracy case brings to a close one chapter in the Perth
s~Amboy milk scandal. But a single chapter does not make
"a complete book. The people of the city, particularly the
mothers, want the whole milk situation cleaned up.
Now that a conspiracy has been proven to the satisfac-
ton of the court it is not enough that those found guilty
should be punished, Of course, there is not the least bit of
sympathy for them and they we'll deserve all that they will
! get, but what the people are particularly interested in is
that they receive a supply of good milk at a reasonable price.
Unless this is accomplished the proving that a conspiracy
exists, even though the conspirators are punished, is of
little benefit to the people.
A more aggressive policy on the part of the city off,
cials would help a great deal. When it is realized tina, the
milk supply of a city means more to the inhabitants tina I
anything else there is no extreme too great for the author
tiles to go in an effort to get at the bottom of the whole affair
and clean it up. While, technically, the duty of the Board
Of Health may end with seeing that the milk being delivered
S up to the required standard, in reality the board can WELD
vast influence through its Investigations and control over
licenses. The people have a right to expect that the health
officials will exhaust every means to remedy the conditional
that are now known to exist here.
1t is said that the combine is very powerful and has
a great deal of money behind it. That is all the more rea-
son why the power and influence of the entire municipal
government should be used to fight it. A little more interest
and real activity on the part of the city officials would not
be amiss. The conspiracy case that has just been tried
ought to be merely the beginning of the real investigation.

INSECTS AND THEIR SENSES
DESCRIBED BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic ). Haskin

with netting and that these cmana-
lions were sensed in some way by
the male moths. As delicate odcrs
could not escape through the lars
with mouths in the sand, the sig
nails from these jars were disre-
garded.
Various Ant Odors
To support his theory thai the Ct-
factory n dominates in insect
life, DR.. McIndoo brings the evil
dence of other scientists. Wheeler,
he says, found that different species
of ants have different doors that
can be distinguished Eve by the
feeble nose of a human being. The
oder of one species is described as
being pungent and ethereal; two
others are smoky: others are like
rotten cocoanuts; and still another
species of ant has a smell remisceHt
Of lemon geranium.
Another scientist, Miss Ficlde
thinks that the mother ant trans
mits a family odor to all Of her Off
spring. and she says that ants can
differentiate the innate doors Pc
cu,iar to the species, sex, caste,
and individual, and also the ac-
quired odor Of the nest and environ
ment.
Each ant, she claims, has three
odcrs: (1) a scent deposited by her
feet, forming an individual trail,
whereby she traces her wi steps:
(2l an inherent" and inherited
oder, manifested over her whole
body, Identical in quality for queens
and workers OF the same lineage,
and a means for the recognition OF
hInad ra1afinnc. .nd f0N q razk 11nr
consisting of the c~ommingled odors
OF all the members of the colony
and used to distinguished their nest
from those of aliens.
Besides all this, Miss Fielde puts
forth the theory that ants can ever
detect progressive doors due TO
change of psychological condition
with the age of the individual ant.
A human being can dimly un-
derstand this specified use Of tie
sense of smell. With his dulied o.
factory organs he can, 1t has been
pointed out, make the crude dis
tinction between a horse and a cow
or a cat and a dog. By finer work,
a scientist discovers that drones,
workers and queens In a hive all
have peculiar odors that a human
ncse a learn to distinguish. and
tina: lighter odors about which man
can only speculate must guide the
actions Of insects at astounding DIS
tarces.
In fact, DR.. McIndoo believes
that the world of such insects rs
the ant and bee is not only a world
of odors but that the olfa ctory
sense is so important to them that
they cannot exist II it Is destroyed.
Yet man thinks his sense of smell
is acute when he can distinguish
blindfolded between an onion and a
violet.

@. When did the Turks first set

A. The Ottoman Turks first en-

pear capital. Up to 1402 the Otto

MEANING OF THE FREEBOOTER VOTE

One of the strongest arguments that the Democrats
can put I'D in favor of electing their two candidates for the
Board of Freeholders this fall is the d%esirabilty of having a
minority representation on that important board. The pres
ent members have been in office so long, now, that it has
come to be almost like an exclusive club the members of
which have so e~ntrenched themselves that they cannot he
defeated. This Club can be broken up whenever the peo-
pie decide that they have had enough. But it can be done
only at election time.
1t does no good to fuss and rant about the way the tax
payers money is s%quandered by the freeholders and then
go to the polls year after year and re-elect the same men to
office. What other meaning can the freeholders take of
such an election than that it is a vote of confidence and a
public expression of approval of their conduct.
BY electng two Democrats to the board, no matter who
they may be, the little ring that now manipulates county
affairs at least will be broken up. The Republicans will
still be in control, but the election of the two Democrats
will be a jolt that will cause them to change their tactics in
the future. 1t is entirely up to the voters. The record of
the present board is an open book. The patent pavement
scandal has been prominently before the people all through
the year. There has been a great amount of fault finding
and condemnation. The vote on November 7 as far as the
freeholders are concerned, will show just how much the
people are disguised with the way things are going.
The re election of the two Republican candidates will
be taken to mean that a majority of the taxpayers approve
the present methods and are willing that conditions continue
as they have been under the present regime. The election
Of the Democratic candidates will indicate that the people
have had enough patent pavements and other extravagances
and favor a change. The matter is entirely in the hands of
the voters and their only opportunity to make their protests
count is on election day, November I.

Each keeps a piece to keep the
peace; for, when the time for cash
settlement arrives, any dispute as to

They cut an extra notch or two in
their half of the stick in the hope
that the buyer will not bother to ques-

tempts to pad an account are detected
merely By joining the two halves and
comparing marks. ANY notch that

Human Love and
Animal Worship

The love of dog for his master
is more akin to what we humans call
worship. Some dogs nearly approach
men in their intelligence. But the
mere fact that the lowest human in
telligence is infinitely higher than the
highest animal intelligence renders
the relationship pathetic beyond
words. There is a play coming to the
Richmond next Monday and Tuesday,
9th and 7th instants, that is more than
usually fascinating because its hero
IS a dog-a Belgian poiice-dog, said
to be tn half-dog and half-wolf. Pos
sessing the wild ferocity and native
cunning of the latter, with the noblest
instincts and traits OF the former.
This dog, named Strongheart, plays
his part almost to perfection. He
seems to enjoy his work, too, and an
parently enters into it with q Zest and
GOOD will that could be followed by his
human comrades on the mimic stage to
coed advantage. His idolized mistress
in the play, Kathryn Mcclure, is q
charming actress and we don't blame
Strongheart for his devotion. He
saves her life in one OF the most thrill
ing moments Of the screen drama so
far portrayed. John Bowers, the
hero, looks and acts every inch hero
of the wilds and the wastes of the
great northwest. The plot is exciting
and the intense interest never waivers
Tor q moment.
The "Silent Call" is one Of the
notable presentations OF a year and
should be seen by al! lovers OF the
silent drama of the films.
