BUSINESS ROOMS FEWER SUICIDES
First Seven Months of Al Witnesses Decrease
 of ' Per Cent

Proportionately fewer suicides oc- cured in the United States during the first seven months of 1941 than in any corresponding period in the last IS years, according to the sta- tisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, who take the mortality experience of the com pany's millions of Industrial policy holders asAa criterion.
 The January July suicide rate among the insured group was seven per cent lower this year than last, and the lowest for any similar per- iod in decade and a half. Explain ing the drop in the suicide rate, the statisticians say;
 "Inasmuch as suicide mortality varies with the business cycle, the decline probably reflects the favor able economic conditions prevailing currently"
 The general health picture also, among the insured men, women. and children is bright, the statistic ians explain, their death rate for the first seven months of 1941 being the lowest ever recorded for the period. And this was in spite of the protracted heat wave which was partly responsible for the July rate reaching the highest point for the month in four years. During the January-July period, the pneumonia death rate among the policyholders fell to the unprecedented low level of BIT per 0,OO0, which represents g drop of 12 per cent from the rate for. the first seven months of 1o40. Lower death rates this year than last were reported also for tuber- culosis, diarrhea and enteritis, and appendicitis.
 "The infectious diseases which only 8 few decades ago were the chief menace to public health, are now definitely under control" the statisticians say. Typhoid fever IS all but wiped off the mortality rec ords, and the communicable diseases of childhood now play very minor role among the causes of death, al- though some of them are still ina- portant as causes of illness.
 Among more than million policyholders on the Pacific Coast, there was not a single death from either measles or diphteria during the first seven months of this year"
 The health picture Is darkened, however. by mortality from acci- dents, especially deaths resulting from motor vehicle accidents, which, the statisticians declare, still occur at an alarming rate"

el by. connecting it with the road ways of the cemetery.
 In March, 1926, Budge sold lots on Pine street to H. A. Johnson, as did William Walker in 1929, and in both sales Johnson was assured that Pine street would not become a public road. In February, 1927, and in December, 1898, Linda Kopp purchased properties on the street from William Walker and from Phoebe Walker, and she was given similar assurances. The plaintiffs went to considerable expenses in the installation of gas, electricity and water, but at no time devel- oped land lying between their two properties which remained in its natural state, nor was this unused land at any time dedicated by the plaintiffs for public use. On Aug ust l, 1940. although Watertown had never laid open g. public hign- way there, the Cemetery Associa tio entered upon the unused land, removed trees and shrubhery, and opened a roadway across it. It is alleged that the selectmen of the town of Watertown permitted the work to be done without legal jus tification, and that although the plaintiffs requested the selectmen to close the road on August 29. 1s40, they refused to do so.
 Tn another action filed Monday, Dorothy Marsh of Roselle, N. J., seeks $8000 damages from George J. Brooks of Plymouth. She alleges that on August IS, 1940, she and her husband, Sidney Marsh, be- came tenants of a house owned by Brooks in Plymouth; that on that date and for some time prior there to veranda steps leading from the kitchen were defective and that there were no proper protective railings. On January 4, 1941, the plaintiff contends that in proceed ing from the verspda to the ground via the defective steps, she fell and her left leg was fractured.
