SUICIDE MODES
RUN in CYCLES,
SAYS CORONER
Present Fashion In Frisco
Is Leaping From Cliff
Poinson Vogue Passe
BY DICK BALDWIN


United Press Staff Correspondent
San Francisco, Sept. 26 (UP)-
Styles change in suicide, and San
Francisco-"The City That Knows
How"-keeps up-to-date.
Last year the poison cup was
quite the thing in local circles if
one wished to depart suddenly from
The fog ard winds that blow in
from the Pacific.
This year the fatal draught has
become quite passe, and it is now
fashionable to leap from a great
height. 49,,
Suicide modes run in cycles and
San Francisco has always been
quite modern, according to DR.. T.
B. W. Leland, coroner, who has
made a study of the problem.
Ninety-five per cent of the people
who destroy themselves do it on
the spur of the moment" the coro-
ner revealed. and then added, land
L don't know of any panacea for
! emotional stability"
Here are a few of DR.. Leland's
observations:
There are twice as many suicides
among married people as among
single.
Four men kill themselves every
time one woman ends it all.
Many men and women kill them
selves, not to get clear of a sad
world, but to create a sensation
and make somebody feel sorry and
ashamed"
Fashions in suicide may be ac-
counted for by the power of sug-
gestion
! A man wants to end it ALL His
head isn't working well. He thinks
suicide. Immediately the last one
he's read about pops into his head.
And he does it the same way.
F.; Weather A Factor
! December is the favorite suicide
month. Bad weather has a depres-
sing effect.
| Every time one widow kills her
self for grief and loneliness three
widowers have beat her to it.
Women rarely shoot themselves
Why? Vanity!
"They want to look well when
we find 'em," is DR.. Lelands COM
ment.
Practically all female suicides put
on their best clothes before turning
on the gas, pulling the trigger, or
raising the vial to their lips.
Most people commit suicide after
sunset. III health is the chief cause
of self-destruction with derange-
ment a close second and business
reyerses running third.
There were 242 suicides in San
Francisco during 1928. The strang-
est was that OF man who killed
himself with dynamite. The most
startling was that of a man ended
his life because he feared convic-
ton for operating a still.
The dangerous age for suicide is

He knocked at another steel door
and called through, "Oh, Robina,
better come out for bit of ex-
ercise."
While he waited, some of the
passengers were twisting their
necks to watch him, and nudging
and whispering to one another.
When the door opened and Robina
stepped out there was such sem
sation and such a boorish staring
that Mem turned to look.
A young woman of an almost
dazzling beauty came out, smiling
and bareheaded. She noted the
yokelry in the corridor, and her
smile died. She stepped back into

spectacle, nor widow.
But she was a fugitive now from
her past and from such thoughts,
and she caught up the magazines
with a desperate eagerness, as if
they were cups of nepenthe.
After dinner Mem found her way
to the observation car and wrote a
letter home. She was sealing it
when she suddenl, a remembered

She was to take a lover on the first

that she had met. Now she must
describe the important man that
she would never meet. He was an

perfect, character. She wrote:

and somehow feel much safer
not being alone. I'm sure you'll
be glad. He's very religious, but
awfully nice-I mean, so, of
course, awfully nice. Good

Being told that they recollected
Mr.. Woodyille, her parents oblig-
ingly remembered him. Mrs. Sted-
don had been warned of this fiction
and collaborated in it.
Doctor Steddon was one of those
who believe almost anything they
read, especially when they hope for
its truth. And there was nothing
he hoped for so much as that his
child should meet a good man and
love him and be loved by him.
Mem spent most of the next day
planning her second letter home
and growing acquainted with that
husband of hers. She used Tom
Hobby as a model.
Crossing the desert the train came
to an abrupt halt. A driving bar
on the engine had broken and
dropped. If the train had not been
putting slowly up a steep grade it
would have been derailed and some
OF the passengers probably mangled
and killed.
1t was long while before the
passengers found this out, and
they reveled in the delight of
averted disaster. Nobody knew
how long the train would be. de-
layed. They could not go on until
a new engine was secured. A train
man had to walk to the next block
signal tower, miles ahead, and
telegraph back for another loco
motive.
Mem wandered about, looking at
the cactus and sagebrush and
expecting a rattlesnake
under every clulnp.
She saw Tom Hobby set out for a
brisk walk. He climbed ragged

been chagrined if any motion
picture periodical had appeared
without some blazon of their en-
ployers.
Mem stared longest at the various
pictures of Tom Hobby. She found
him in all manner of costumes and
athletic achievements, and she
read the rhapsody on him first.
Having never seen a moving pic
ture of anybody, she had never
seen his. Mem forgot for long
while that she was a respectable
widow-of very poor sort, for il

DOG SAVES FELINE LIFE
BUT EARNS NO GRATITUDE


Malone, N. Y, Sept. 26. U.P0-
Dogs are not commonly known to
befriend cats, yet one instance of
such anomaly was witnessed here.
The cat had been missing three
days. It's mistress hunted vainly for
her, Notwithstanding felines are
supposed to return of their own
will. Finally a state trooper, appris-
ed of the lost pet, observed a dog
standing on rock ledge barking
vociferously at an island in Salmon
river. Search of the island brought
forth the cat, bit haggard at hav-
ing been marooned three days, but
still able to "spit" at the dog which
had unwittingly saved her life.

her stateroom, and when she re-
appeared, she wore a large dropping
hat and a thick black veil.
II envy you the privilege of the
VEIL" the young man said. Mem
walked up and down the platform
as if her feet were winged. She
felt a longing to buy something for
the sheer sport of buying, and went
so far as to buy two magazines
devoted to the moving pictures.
One of the magazines slipped
from under her elbow and fell to the
ground and as she stopped to re-
cover it her hand touched a hand
that had just anticipated hers. She
looked up quickly and her head
knocked off the hat of the man who
had tried to save her the trouble OF
picking up her magazine. She saw
the gallant was the tall youth who
had crushed past her in the cor
ridor. His face came UP again like
a sun dawning across her horizon;
his eyes beat upon her like long
beams. There was kind of pathos
in them, but also a great bright
ness, which, like the sun he poured
upon million alike. But Mem did
not know this. She felt warmed
and healed, and she bloomed trihe
as a rose does when the sun gilds It.
With great calm and as much of a
bow as he could make without a
sense of intrusion, the young man
solemnly offered Mem his own hat
and laid her magazines on his head.
Then both of them laughed as he
corrected the automatic mistake of
his muscles. He blushed hotly, for
he was not used to such blunders.
Mem found an amazing magnet
ism in his smile and In his eyes.
She did not know that that sad
smile of his was making a million
aire of him. He was selling It by
the foot-thousands of feet of it.
His smile was broad enough to cir
cumscribe the world and his eyes
had enough sorrow for all the
audiences.
He turned back to the waiting
Robina. Robina was evidently not
used to being kept waiting. She
had had little practice. She re-
sented the slight with such quick
wrath that Mem could hear her
protesting sarcasm, a rather dis
appointing rebuke:
Don't hurry on my account,
Tom"
Two young girls assailed Tom
with shameless idolatry. . One of
them ratified:
"Oh, Mr.. Hobby, we knew you the
minute we laid eyes on you. You're
our fave-rite of all the screen stars,
and You got no photographs with
you, have your"
Tom was indomitab1y polite, but

gave Robina an excuse to drag him
away from the worshippers.
One of the girls, in an epilepsy of
agitation, walled: "Say, iooky!

Teelel Geel and we didn't reco-nize
heri"
The train was emerging from the
retreating walls of the city before
Mem felt calm enough to examine
her magazines.
On the cover of one of them
was huge head of Robina Teele,
all eyes and curls aid an incredibly
luscious mouth. Remember had
never heard of her or seen her
pictures, because her films were

pensive for the villages.
There was a long article about
her, and another about Tom Hobby.

2S BOY SCOUTS
 ARE BELIEVE TO BE DROWNED
Are w "a s.h ed Away in House at Camp, Down
 Swirling, Swollen Stream

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 23-A cottage in which 28 Boy Scouts were camped in near Rock wood, Tenn, was washed away from its foundation and sent swirl ing down the swollen stream by a flood of water early this morning according to reports reaching here.
 Residents of the section heard the screams of the boys from the cottage.
 It is feared that all of the boys were drowned.
 The camp was about 70 miles north of here on White Creek, normally a small stream. A cloud burst, which swelled the creek to dangerous size and swept away the cottage, also washed out highway bridges and hampered telephone and telegraphic communications, making it impossible to confirm re- ports.
 One report is that the town of Coal Creek was wiped out by the cloudburst.

Speedy British Craft Is Chased by Coast Guard
 Vessel Of Louisiana

NEW ORLEANS, March 23-The British auxiliary schooner Imalone, of Belize, suspected contraband car- rier, was sunk late yesterday off the Louisiana coast after a battle with Coast Guard craft.
 A member of the crew, a negro seaman, was either killed or drown ed.
 Acting under orders to waylay the ship, the cutter Walcott, command ed by Warrant Officer Frank Paul, encountered the schooner off Trim ity Shoals, 200 miles southeast of Marsh Island.
 The Imalone failed to heed the order to prepare for boarding and fled on a coarse toward Mexico.
 The Walcott placed a shell in the schooner's rigging but was unable to overtake her because of the shoal water. The Imalone had several other times escaped cutters because of superior speed.
 The chase continued and other cutters were summoned. The Dexter fired repeatedly until the Imalone sank without an offer to surrender.
 All members of the crew were taken off except the one, either killed or drowned.

PARIS, March 23.-France's tre- ncndous economic expansion since the war has more than doubled her business activity. While her per- centage of increase in 28 industries is only half that of the United States, it slightly exceeds improve ment in German industry and puts her in the lead in Europe.

lines more than has the United States.
 Taking 1913 as standard, France has increased her business activity 127 per cent, Germany 125 per cent, while the U. s. is credited with 367 per cent in the 28 industries, which include textiles, metals, chemicals, shipping, railroads, automobiles, fer tilizers and foreign trade.
 Foreign observers remark that the French themselves are only be- ginning to realize their progress. They are beginning to throw off their spirit of depression and to realize that they have adopted mod ern methods in many lines and of- ten show a hustle they would have considered quite undignified before the war.

WASHINGTON, March 23-Amer- ican interests are heavy and varied in the revolution -embroiled Mexi- can states.
 In Sonora, which fell quickly to the revolters. are the great copper holdings of the Phelps-Dodge group includtng Jne CT esn e-Ca11Aneu mines. In the northern part ol Vera Cruz American capital is in- vested on large scale in the pe- t-oleum fields. Petroleum pro- ducts valued at $46,919,144 were ex- ported last year, drop of SIS, ,702,- 563 from 1927.
 From the state of Sinaloa, con- tiguous to Sonora, are shipped great quantities Of tomatoes and other fresh vegetables in the off seasons of this country. Sinaloa was an other state whose equalization was quickly announced by revoltine forces.
 Some 10 per cent of the copper exported from Mexico comes iron, Sonora, most of it through Agua Prieta and Cananea.

No Breaks in Dikes Near Quincy - Patrolmen
 Pace River Front

QUINCY. H., March 23-The eyes of those residing on the low lands cast their first glances over the Mississippi River this morning and the sight brought gratitude as the dikes were still holding.
 Worried patrolmen still pace up and down the river front ready with sand bags to close any breach that may threatened to flood 50,- GOO acres.
 The river has raised one foot ill the last 24 hours and is still rising.
 Twenty thousand acres are still under water, the results of two breaks in the leVees Thursday night.
