Encampment Awards of
The Bethel Association
Results of the Meeting at Button
Show Much Good Work.

The recent Bethel Baptist encamp-
ment held at Button was a great
success, but ii was not known Just
how great a success it was until all
the class work was completed, eXam1-
nation papers graded, and awards
made. This work has now been I'M
ished and the final records show that
1856 folks enrolled in the several class
es. Probably half Of these made no
effort to secure the awards by taking
the examinations, but OF the remain
der total OF 167 passed the tests as
signed and have been granted the di-
plomas, certificates or seals Tor max
ing the necessary grades. Fifty-two OF
these awards have been made by the
Sunday School Board, Nashville, Ten
nessee, fifty-four by the B. Y. z. y.
department of the Georgia Baptist
Convention and sixty-one by the Mis-
sion study chairman of the Woman S
Missionary Union. One other class
has vet to be heard from, which will
increase the number from the w. M.
U.
The distribution OF the awards
among the churches Of the Bethel As
ISOLATION is as follows: Arlington, p;
Beulah, / Blakely, 80; Bluffton, IA;

The increased knowledge concern
ing church methods and missions will
mean much for the progress Of all de-
partments of religious activities in the
years to come, and it is anticipated
that these l67 will create an atmos-
phere OF study which will bring many
others into definite work along this

Steady FIOU of Whiskey Continues

The most surprising figures, how
ever, were those OF Germany, which

that much OF this rum was re-eXport-

SUICIDES AMONG THE
RICH ARE CREASING
SAN DIEGO SHOWS HIGHEST
RATE, AND LAKE CITIES AXE
BELOW THE AVERAGE.

There Is an increasing tendency to
er;cide on the part OF the we'll to 40
and highly educated, but the suicide
rate for the whole population shows
M increase. according to an article by
Dr Frederick L. Hoffman, consult
inc statistician Of the Prudential In
surance Company Of America. IN the
Spectator. T he apparent increase
shown by the figures recently made
public bv the Save a Life League IS
due to faulty statistical material, &C
cording to DR.. Hoffman.
The suicide rate was highest in the
civ of San Diego in 1928, as in pre-
vious wears. according to the statiSt-
clan. who continued: ,oo,
81 n that city the rate during 1873
reached the extraordinary Inquire, OF
505 Der 100000 population, which IS
one of the highest figures on record
for a community OF considerable size
in this country. No satisfactory eX-
nlanation has been forthcoming why
This should be so. San Diego is by
common consent one OF the most at
tractive localities for residence IN TINS
country. 1t is blessed with almost per
petual sunshine and there were no
particularly unfavorable economic con
ditions that are a matter OF record.
Lake Cities Are Low.
The excessive mortality for San
Diego approached with fair degree
ri Closeness the high rates OF suicide
frequency in the large cities OF the
Pacific coast generally. Oh the thir-
teen cities with excessive suicide rates
or rates of 20 per 100000 and over,
eight are located on the Pacific coast;
or in other words, the rates are all
excessive in Denver, Los Angeles,
Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, San
Francisco, Seattle and Spokane.
"The cities in the lake region show,
almost throughout, rather low rates
Of suicidal frequency, and five princi-
nal cities. Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Detroit and Milwaukee, all have rates
below the average. The rates were
decidedly low in the steel and coal
PRODUCING centers, particularly Nc
Keesport, Pittsburg, Scranton and
Pueblo.
In eastern cities the rate OF Bos-
ton was slightly above the average
while the rate for Manhattan and the
Bronx was about the same, or in 9TH
er words 16.4 and 1913, respectively
The Philadelphia rate was l4.4, While
the rate for Washington, D. C.. was
1873"
Suicide of Children.
Dr. Hoffman's table showed a rate
OF 1874 in 1900 gradually rising to 2l.3
in 1908. descending to 1913 i'll 1920, and
becoming stationary in the three sue
ceeding years at a mark slightly above
Regarding suicide by children Dr.
Hoffman said:
Internationally the number OF
morbid children is increasing. Our
processes OF education our changed
condition OF home life, our confused
environment all tend to high rate OF
self-destruction, but in the registra-
tion states OF the United States, IN
Guiding about so per cent OF our pop
u1ation, and for the three years l9z0,
1921. 1922. there occurred one death
from suicide among children of ages )
to 9: 121 deaths from suicides at ages
10 to ii. and 962 deaths from suicides
at ages IS to 49,"

Carl Bentzel, young 'cellist from Sweden, gave an artistic interpretation of "Berceuse" (Jocelyn). A soprano sG.o, "Pastore1le" by Vero- gini, sung by Miss Robina Tinman, con cluded the program.

 Dr. Glenn complimented the school children for their splendid spirit. which was demonstrated at the Armistice Day parade, and the patrons of the Bir- mingham schools for their hearty CO., operation, stating that the Birmingham people were a people who did things and expressed his faith in great results in the present Community Chest drive.

WTHICH makes the greater sacri- w flee, the man or the woman? A
 bored and weary husband who
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-21


 married he can stay out as late at night as he pleases; that he can do as he likes; that he can spend his income upon himself, and that he can fit about from flower to flower in the rosebud garden of girls, but that after marri- age-to use the classic phrase of the day-there's nothing doing in any of these lines for poor MT. Benedict.
 It is natural for all of us to think that our lot is the hardest in the world and our sufferings the greatest ever borne. So it is but human for a man to believe that he sacrifices great deal more than a woman does in marriage. But that is because no man has ever been a woman or a wife, and there fore he has no perception of what a woman gives up when she gets mar ried.

and hilarious. for fear of what his wife will say to him. But a married wom- an doesn't even dream of taking such liberties because she would be talked about if she stayed out even one night, and well she knows that there would be no forgiving husband to put ice cloths on her head if she got drunk He would hail her in the divorce courts.
 Undoubtedly, every man not a mil lionaire, is a financial sacrifice to his family. The money that a man would enjoy spending on travel, on fishing and hunting trips, on his own personal hobbies and tastes, has to go to the butcher and grocer and milliner and dressmaker; for music lessons for Mamie and operations for Bobby's adcnoids.
