New York, N. Y.-The high fncr- Eality from violent deaths in the United states--lO0,OO0 fatalities from accidents alone in some years, while there are about 10000 suicides and i2,0O0 homicides each year. reflects . rather general indiffer- ence to human values, according to hte statisticians of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance company. The death rates from accidents and honicides in the United States are the highest in the civilized world, while this country occupies Q mid- de position among the nations of the world with regard to suicides.
 Pointing out that the United States has an accident mortality rate almost twice that of England and Wales or Germany and a homicide rate i8 times that of Eng land and Wales and 29 times that of the Netherlands, the statisticians comment:
 Tt should be entirely possible in 8 country like ours, with it's high standard of living and general spread of education, to bring about Q marked reduction in the death rate from suicide, homicide and ac- cidents. To achieve this gain in life conservation 1t will be neces- sary primarily to arouse the Amer ican people to the value of human life and to its sanctity, and to put the knowledge we have on meth ods of prevention into operation"
 A comprehensive study on the incidence of death and the trends of the death rates from suicide, homicide and accidents among the millions of industrial policyholders of the. Metropolitan during the period 1911 to 1880, shows that dur ing this 20-year period external causes were responsible for one death in every Il among these in- sured of both sexes; for males alone the ratio was one death in seven. Of the total deaths from external causes among this insured group, suicide accounted for 10.4 per cent, homicide for s.3 per cent, accidental and unspecified vio" lence for 77.1 per cent and wounds of war for "a per cent.
 During the first decade of this 20-year experience the trend of the suicide rate was generally down. ward and in the last 10 years, gen.

erally upward. However, the sui- eide rate in the last years of this study was about one-third lower than in the first years. Fire arms were used most frequently by men as Q means of self-destruction, while, among women, poisoning was the method most commonly em- ployed.
 The mortality from homicide re- nained fairly constant during the twenty-year period.
 The death rates from accidents were at Q lower level in the clos- ing than in the initial years of the study. The decline, however, was not continuous over the twenty years, and It was noted that the curve of the accident death rate fiuctuated iA response to the curve of business activity. Of the means of injury recorded in this study, only automobiles showed an ir- crease in mortality between the first and last 5-year period. The increase in automobile accidents was more than fourfold.
 Automobile accidents were the leading means of accidental death followed in order by falls, drown ings and burns.

ARMY PRISONER,
SENTRY FOUND
PLAYING CARDS
Ft. Harrison Soldier Says
He Was Kidnapped While
on Guard Duty.

Sergt. Glenn w. Rice headed Fit
Benjamin Harrison detail that left
for Kokomo this morning to return
Samuel Cimino, 10, an Army prison
er, and Floyd Rose, 81. sentry, who
disappeared from the reservation
yesterday,
The pair was found last night
playing cards at the home of Rose S
brother in Kokomo. Fort authori-
ties feared that Cimino, scheduled
to face court martial yesterday for
theft of an Army rifle, had kidnapped
or slain the sentry.
At Kokomo, Rose told detectives
that Cimino had overpowered him
while he stopped to take drink
from a fountain, seized his gun,
compelled him to exchange clothes
and then forced him to accompany
him.
Rose said they then walked to
Anderson where he persuaded Cim;-
no to accompany him to his broth
er's home in Kokomo, where he
hoped to overpower the prisoner in
his sleep.
Cimino, with Rose as his guard,
had been assigned to work at the
coal pile early yesterday. They re-
ported to the sergeant, who assigned
Clm1nO to work on a cOnVeyOr a
short distance away. They never
reached the conveyor and we're
missed when they failed to check in
for noon mess.
A detail of 100 men, under Lieut..
Fred M Hinshaw and Capt. Rob-
ert S. McClenaghan, searched the
reservation.
At the fort today it was said that
there would be no comment until
authorities had had a chance to
question the sentry. Rose has been
IN the service four months and has
a good record, it was said.
