THE heaviest suicide rate in
i the history Of Indiana is be-
lieved due to the unemployment
situation and business depres-
sion on the basis of figures re-
veaIed by H. M. Wright, director
of the state bureau of vital
statistics.
During the first nine months
of 1880 there were fifty-four
more suicides than during the
same period of 1929, the toll
rising from 410 to 464, an in
crease Of 11.31 per cent.
Suicide always is one of the
tragedies Of depression periods,
and although the figures do not
show the ratio between men
and women, previous statistics
on that point have shown that
men are far more likely to end
their lives because of financial
difficulties, than are women.

The average yield was estimated

Acreage this year was greater

Quality was reported good, but nub-

TESTS SHOW LIGHT
IS RELATED TO LIFE
Smithsonian Annual Report
Records Achievement
Recent Acquisitions.

Establishment of fundamental rela-
tions between light and life in recent
Smithsonian Institution experiments
was among the scientific achievements
of the year reported to the annual
meeting OF the regents yesterday by
Secretary Charles G. Abbot.
These experiments dealt with the un-
explained phenomenon of phototropism,
or the bending of a plant toward the
light. DR.. F. S. Bracket, in charge
of the Division of Radiation and Organ
isms, found that blue light consisting
OF the wave lengths toward the short
wave end of the visible spectrum has
approximately 10000 times the bending
effect of yellow light, and that red
light, consisting of longer wave lengths,
has no effect at all that can be meas
ured.
This indicates that an electronic
change of energy" takes place in the
plant under the influence of light, but
that there is a threshold wave length
beyond which light does not set off the
mechanism in the plant cells. The
bending effect first appears with yellow
light, but is barely measurable. With
green light, the next step upward
toward the short end of the spectrum,
1t is increased 1000 times. Blue light
Is 80 times more effective still.
Theory Hitherto Held.
Hitherto there has been a theory that
phototropism was owing to accelerated
growth due to extra heating of the
side of the plant toward the sun. But,
says Secretary Abbot's report, this ex-
pertinent constitutes crucial evidence
against any theory which seeks to ex-
plain phototropism as thermal effect
due to unequal absorption of thermal
energy. The rapid increase of effects
as one proceeds to shorter wave lengths
is typical of the photochemical reac-
tions involving an electronic change of
energy"
Study of the light effects involved
work of extreme delicacy, since it was
necessary to eliminate the effect of
heating by getting the different colored
lights of exactly the same intensity.
The experiments were carried on with
oat sprouts. The early work was vitiated
by small temperature fluctuations in
the air surrounding the sprouts. This
was finally overcome by placing a dou-
walled cylindrical glass shield
around each sprout, filing the, space
between the double walls with water
and keeping the cylinder in continual
rotation. Thus, if one side was un-
evenly heated, its influence would be
carried around so as to be felt equally
from all sides. ~
A second notable achievement Of the
Smithsonian, DR.. Abbot reported, is the
discovery by the Astrophysical OBJ
