Miss Alice Mercer A Suicide


The following is from Glendale,
Calf, paper:
Apparently depressed over in
ability to obtain a position as a
school teacher, for which she Sc
cured certificate last year, Miss
Alice Mercer, 25, turned pistol on
herself at shooting gallery in
Venice late yesterday, and commit
ted suicide.
Miss Mercer left two notes, one at
her home addressed to her father,
Thomas j. Mercer, and the other in
her purse, which she had with her.
The father said today that the
note to him declared "this depres-
sion in some way or other has brok-
en- my spirits" He interpreted the
note to refer to her inability to OBJ
tain a teachers position.
"She never indicated that this
lad worried her." said Mercer, "but
probably it was on her mind more
than we realized

that "only my wretchedly intoler-
able disposition is to blame for
this
Mercer declared that his daughter
appeared in good spirits yesterday
her day off from clerical position
in Los Angeles, and that she had
driven him to his office in Los An

Child Safety

Analytical study of traffic acci-
dents to school children, just COM
pleted by the Ohio highway depart
ment, under Highway Director O.
w. Merrell. shows that the chief
reason so many youngsters are in
jured and killed is because, in spite
of school training and parental in
junction, they persist in playing in
the streets and on the highways.
Statistics indicate that an aver
age of approximately ESQ children
from the ages of five to IA years
are killed annually in Ohio as the
result of automobile accidents.
Relatively few of thtee fatalities
occur while the kiddies are on their
way to or from schooi T" Merrell
cites. "The greater part are large
ly the result of the children's play
ing in the street,
The youngsters should not play in
the street, of course, but they do in
spite of all warnings to the con-
trary. In their youthful enthusiasm
they use the streets and highways
as their playground, unmindful of
traffic hazards. During the sum-
mer vacation the tots use the streets
and highways more than ever.
Therefore, this is the time when
motorists should exercise more eau
tion than ever. Whenever children
are playing in street or on a high
way, or anywhere nearby, drive
carefully and alertly. 1t may save
a child's life
Merrell's appeal to motorists is
preliminary to statewide safety
campaign planned for the 1933-34
school term to protect Ohio's school
children. Governor Whites Safety
Service Commission and the high
way department, working in cooper
alton with school officials through
out the state, will aid in sponsoring
School Safety Patrols. Squads OF
older children will be placed on duty

But instead she apparently went
to Venice alone. The girl appeared
at shooting gallery on the mu-
Licipal pier at Venice, selected 22-
| caliber pistol and, sighting down its
shiny barrel scored bulPs-eye
with her first. shot, gallery attend
ants, who had praised her for the
craftsmanship, reported.
Then she suddenly brought the
pistol to her head. She pulled the
trigger and the shot went through
Der temple. Taken to a Santa Mon
lea hospital, she died few minutes
after arrival
Mss Mercer was graduated from
Glendale high school in the class Of
1925. She took the first three and
one-half years of her high school
course in an Oak Park, H., high
school.
Graduating from the University
of California at Los Angeles in jan
Lary, 1882, she took poSt-graduate
work in that university and in Uni
versity of California at Berkeley,
obtaining high school teaching Gre
aentials. She taught for short
time in the Oakland high school.
Although she was on the substi-
tute list of the Glendale city
schools, she had not taught here.

Telling 1t To OhiOans

Robert j. Bulkley, United States
! senator form Ohio: "Our nation last
year passed through an overwhelm-
ing peaceful revolution. A long
period of waiting ended on March
4. The people wanted the govern
ment to do something and the chal-
| lenge was accepted in good faith.
There were those who contended
that things would right themselves
if just given little time and that
everything would work out Of it
self. But the people did rot believe
that, though they did not know what
was the matter nor what to do about
it. The solution was the task that
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected
to do.
ALREADY steps have been taken to
stabilize banking and to make the
depositors' money more safe;
measures have been enacted for the
direct financial relief of the far
mer; an effort is being made toward
en- orderly reduction of the vast
surpluses that have stood in the
way of profitable agriculture;
program has been enacted for the
reduction of working hours and the
increase of wages of employees; pro
vision has been made whereby
business and commerce may look
; forward to a profitable return.
tIn all these efforts, it is true.
methods have been adopted that
were without precedent. Of course
there is the question, will they
work?' AS we look about, what do
we see? We observe employment
on the increase; we see business
picking up; people are evidently
more encouraged. We may not yet
have done all that should be done
or can be done. There may be
errors; indeed it would be marvel
Gus if there were none. But we are
substantially succeeding. If there
are errors we can make alteration if
needed to accomplish prosperity.
Governor George White has
struck the true note when he says
we are not yet out of our troubles.
We must be good enough citizens to-
stand by the administration through
whatever comes.
Republicans, as a whole, have
not been unduly critical. They
have indicated willingness to CO.
operate. The problem is one for
the whole people to face unitedly
and we who are your elected Off
cials desire to do what the people
want done"
Governor George White: eve in
the state and national administra-
tons will continue to work to-
ward better than a living wage for
our workers. do not like that
term living wage. President
Roosevelt's plan looks forward to
more than that. Under the leader
ship at Washington we will con-
tinue to move out of distress into an
era of general prosperity"

Takes ADVANTAGE of
st. Louis Epidemic

Minot. N. D., Sept. 8-(RELes-
lie Stilwagon. %, is one of those
fellows who believes in capitalize
ing on current events, and that
explains why his penctl-selling
business had been booming in re-
cent days, all because there Is q
sleeping sickness epidemic at st.
Louis, Mo.
Stilwagon, peddling his pencils
around the town, would walk in
to an office and announce that
I'm q, sick boy, I've got sleeping
sickness. Then his eyelids would
begin to drop, but they'd be far
enough open to see whether the
prospective customer was digging
down to get a coin for the pencil
he held.
There's q lot Of diseases the
folks upon whom Stilwagon called
would rather have than sleeping
sickness, with its high death toll.
50 most Of the transactions were
completed with alacrity, with q
majority Of the customers not tax
Ing the pencil lest there be some
sleeping sickness germs thereon.
While stilwagon's eyelids were
dropping Thursday, Police Ser
geant s. P. Nielsen sneaked I'M
on MIN with . vagrancy warrant
ana marched him to jail.
When arraigned Friday before
Police Magistrate Carl B. Davis
stilwagon's eyelids were droopine
badly. but he said he thought he
could stay awake long enough to
get out OF town and head for
nome at Corning, Iowa.
