One would not think it perhaps, but there are so many cases eof suicide or attempted suicide In the big city ef New York and so many of its residents are in a state of mind favorable to self de struction that the anti-suicide bureau recently established in that city by the Salvat Arey actually a busy place.

The work for women In in special charge of Brigadier Bovlill While a great many of those contem plating suicide are despondent from lack of employment, there are many casen of these in apparent prosperity who yet are tired of life. One such case was that of a business man who was afraid his eapital would not tide him over a dull season and who was driven almost beside himself by stress and worry. Another man who called is well known In the business world, and he congratulated the officers on | thelr work, saying that he himself, though prosperous In business and prominent in soclety and the church, was sometimes seized with desponden ey and needed the help to obercome the suicidal tendency which such an fnstitution could give, New York has a smaller percentage of suicides in proportion to population than some other American cities.
