Curiosity Fails
To Cut Suicides,
Coroner Reports

Curiosity isn't saving any lives
around Tacoma.
At least, not In the opinion of
Pierce County Coroner T. II. Long.
The subject was raised in Seat
tie. King County Coroner Otto II.
Mittelstadt declared that curios-
ity, which by time-honored adage
kills cats, was saving lives. Nit
telstadt said that suicides in that
area for the past four months were
10 below the same period in 1888.
He credited the European war.
People are curious" said
Mittelstadt, ito see what In
going 10 happen next. 1t
keeps them from eentering
their minds on their own af-
fairs.
Scientific surveys have shown
that during times Of great national
or international excitement, sui
cides take decided drop"
To which DR.. Longs response
was, 81 doubt it,"
DR.. Long pointed out that there
have been Is suicides in Pierce
county since the outbreak of the
European game Of putsch-and-
take. Further, that corresponds
with only 13 during the same
period in 1888.
There has been plenty Of
recent interest In public af-
fairs lately, but that didn't
prevent three suicides In
period of two days last week,
DIR. Long added.
After the depression arrived"
he conceded, II think there was a
natural upswing in the number of
suicides. But for the most part
such things are hard To classify.

thing to talk about"
