| -- TO SUICIDE IN COOK COUNTY INCLUDING CHICAGO A Chicago Coroner Also Foretelld the Number of Murders in Hi District During 1914, Chicago, May 13.--That at the Present moment there are some twelve thousand persons in Cook county, which Includes the city of Chicago, who are contemplating sui cide, and that he can within a rea- sanable degree of accuracy -deter- mine the number of Chicagoans who will meet with violent deaths within the next twelve months, is the as- sertion of Coroner Hoffman in his biennial report for 1913, just com- pleted Aa The report gives a record of 10} 992 deaths in Chicago, of which Cor- oner Hoffman asserts "nearly one- half could have been avoided by a comprehensive crusade of education on the lines of public safety." In addition to a study of such con- ditions for several years Hoffman seems to have made a study, of Her- bert Spencer's "Law of Morfientum" and applied it to hig figures. By his process the coroner believes him- sell able to foretell, as does a weath- er forecaster, approximately how many will be murdered this year, and also the number that will be shot, stabbed, poisoned and beaten to death. "We know," the report reads, "that in 1914 approximately 1,000 persons in Cook county will attempt suicide; that of these 583 will suc- "ceed, and that there are about 12,- 000 people contemplating suicide all the time,: a.percentage of whom, with the constant accretiéns, will form the suicide rolls of the coming year, About 150 people will com- mit suicide by poison, of whom 90 'will use carbolic acid, fifteen corro- sive sublimate, seven cyanide of po- tasium, six arsenic, ete. We know, too, that with the present population and until our social and economic education Systems undergo a vital change each year approximately 140 will commit suicide by shooting, 120 by asphyxiation, 60 by hanging, 24 by stabbing, 20 by drowning and 14 by jumping out of windows." ~S FIRST THROUGH CANAL 5,000 Ton 88.

'""Not only creeds, but symbols and rites of the Christian church need brushing up; they are rusty and some even moth eaten," he says in a statement published in the ecur- rent number of the Christian Regls- ter, the Unitarian weekly of Massa- chusetts, "The ancient creeds and dogmas are full of ideas about God, whith civilzed man rejects as unworthy. Tn this respect the old creeds and dog- mas caw, of course, be reinterpreted from generation to- generation, and in the evangelical denominations a remarkable amount of reinterpreta- tion is now being done. IlIn these processes of reinterpre- tation, however, the original eoncep- tions are apt to disappear; and there | is sometimes reasonable doubt con- cerning the effects of such interpre- tations on the mental habits of the interpreters." : The same tale does "not sound same to the sceptical and the dulous, Tt is a wise talker gauges his words to suit his or.
