Life and Hope
Cincinnati Eilauirer)

(Cinclnnati Elduirer) Well known is the story of the official in the United States Patent Office who committed suicide early this century saying that there nothing left to invent His attitude apparently has good deal to do with the philosophy of suicide in general; the feeling that life has led up blind alley.
 Significantly the suicide death rate in the United States is lowest during periods of reconstruction not necessarily the lowest when times at their best. Estimates compiled in 100 American cities by Frederick E. Hoffman, consulting statstician. published in the Spectator magazine reveal that the suicide rate last year less than for year during the boom years rate exactly the that for the year 1902
 Since this century began, the suicide rate was the least during 1918, 1919, and 1920 while America was at war and as the nation entered of recon struction 1920 the suicide death rate was ll9 per 100000 inhabitants in the 100 selected cities The rate then climbed to 181 in 1928 and 1929 and as was be expected reflected the acute economic dis tress of 1892 with rate of 213 Then the rate began to drop 9l in 1923 173 in 1884 162 in 1885 and 157 in 1886 Last years rate the lowest for any during the twentieth century except during the war and post period.
 The inference to be drawn from the statistics is that the people temperamentaly disposed to suicide are likely to stay their hands when it appears there's something more to be done in the world The old saying Where there's life there's hope" seems also to apply the other way around: Where there's hope there's life"

POST OFFICE WILL
MOVE NEAR SEPT. |
Present Plan Is to Transfer
to Enlarged Building
If No Delays

The Henderson post office, which
has been in temporary quarters elev-
en- months while the post office build
ing here was being virtually doubled
in size, will move back to it's perman-
ent quarters shortly after the first of
September, it was said today by Post
master J. r. league. The office NOV
ed out of it's building and to the tenn
porary quarters on Labor Day last
year. 1t is expected to move back on
Labor Day this year.
Most of the exterior work on the
new structure has been finished, and
while there is much yet to be done
inside, it is believed the intricate, te-
dious job of the interior can be COM
pleted in time for the transfer on
Labor Day. Much depends on a ship
ment of material from a midWestern
city, and if that material is received
promptly, there should be no bitches
in the program, it was said.
The new building provides much
needed additional space for the post
office, and will make it modern in
every respect. New equipment is to
be installed in the office when it is
completed. The number of lock boxes
for rent will be increased by approx
mately fifty percent, and business peo-
pie are hoping for increased service,
both because of the larger quarters
and because of the greatly increased
volume of receipts, indicating growing
business at the office.

NEW CABLE LINES
ARE BEING STRUNG
A. T. & T. Company In
creasing Facilities on
Trunk Line Routing

An additional cable on the trunk
line built through this section some
years ago is being strung at the pre-
sent time by the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company, it was said to-
day in telephone circles here. The
new cable will furnish increased faci-
lities by about one-third more than
the present capacity.
The cable line runs several miles
west of Henderson. It gives trunk
line direct service between New York
and Atlanta and points south, as well
as affording hook-ins for intermediate
points on long distance toll service.
The present cable contains some 26O
units, and the new one will have 60
odd additional units.
A construction gang will locate in
Henderson in the next few days to
push the new work along. Just how
long it will require to complete the
job has not been learned. But the
work will not be as difficult this
time as before, since the poles are
already in place, and only the string
ing of the cable itself is necessary now.
Increased toll business for the A. T.
& T. Company has made necessary
the provision of these extra facilities
to carry the load.
The line runs south from New York
by way of Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and Richmond, runs a
few miles west of this city, and thence
to Durham, up by Greensboro, thence
southwark by Charlotte to Atlanta
and other southern points
