Hoffmann, consuiting statisticlan of the Prudential Life Insurance Co., announced today He estimated that between 12,000 and 15,000 suicides occurred in the country last year. Dr. Hoffman's calculations gave the country a current suicide rate of 15.3 per 100,000 population. Chi cago reported a rate of 15.3 and the metropolitan area of New York 15.6. Cities of the South, Middle West and Atlantic seaboard uniformly made a better showing than com munities in the far West, accord- ing to Dr. Hoffman's tabulations “LARRY” 0’DEA WINS $5,541.76 IN BACK PAY | Judgment for Detective Who Sued District for Compensation With- held During World War.

He had been loaned to the Federal Gov ernment during the World War, he said, and was employed in the Rail ad Administration Bureau under Chief Flynn. His work was eminently satisfactory, it is stated, and October 1. 1919, his return to the Police De partment was requested by Maj. Pull man. Commissioner Brownlow wanted O'Dea to give information about the seizure of liquor from the baggase of the wife of a prominent Democratic officeholder, O'Dea stated, and because he refused to divulge a Government secret, he declared, he was carried on the police rolls as being absent with out leave. This was done against his protest, he stated. It was said by O'Dea that he failed to induce Commissioner Brownlow to prefer charges against him in order that his status as a member of the Department might be de termined. duty each day, he stated, and actually made arrests, so certain was he that he had been deprived of his rights without warrant of law.

But just now the imminence of real danger barred him from re- partee. “Listen, Dad,” said he soberly, “you'll get your orders mighty soon from the division superintendent. He'll be back in a minute. Hell's busted loose. Crevasse broke through ahead of us up the line. Looks like the whole dam’ Mississippi River's runnin’ through the levee. Carried away Gros Tete bridge clean, up the line a ways. Two section hands managed t' get down the track an’ flagged us before we poked our noses into it. But look at the way the water's spreadin’.” The crew of the Sabine looked out the cab windows once more, this time their attention centered on the water of which they had been only casually conscious while their heads were filled Wwith other matters. Sure enough, it | was rising. They had seen flooded swamp and flooded lowland before along that line. But never, now that they gave It closer scrutiny, had they seen water so high. It was lapping up around the sides of the embank- ment. Its brown fingers were claw- ing at the sloping barrier of earth in_its path. The upper part of the embankment was still far out of water, the tracks clear and open. But the valley folk know, as no others can know, how quickly the crevasse flood, spreading out from the channel it cuts in its first rush, will make a swirling lake of level flelds for miles. The bos'll be here in a minute, Dad,” sounded Jim Peterson’s voice. “He was making the run in the Burlingame private car. You know | what his orders'll be, of course. We've | got to get back down the line through Tete Noir Swamp and ' get across Blenvenu trestle to that ridge.” “Looks like you're right, Jim,” assented Dad. Then the Sabine's cab was boarded JULY 4, 1925. One of a series of best | short stories publish- | ed during the past by unannounced invaders. Up one side, where they had come back along the rails from the stalled Sky Rocket, climbed the Honorable Henry Burlin- game. With him was Frank Wilkin- son,. division superintendent of the Delta Valley. If profanity, as tradition has it, can turn the air blue, the cab of that| ancient locomotive would have shim- mered in “bright azure from the moment the chairman of the board saw who sat at the Sabine's throttle. Hell-Roarin’ Hank! 'He'd earned that name. At last_he grew coherent. “What,” he demanded, ‘apoplectic ally, “are you two shrimp-gutted old mummies doing aboard this engine?” “We—we——" began Dad hesitat- ingly. “Where's McMasters and his fire- man?” roared the Burlingame voice of battle. “They—they had t' drop off down the line, back a ways, Hank," stam- mered Dad placatingly. “So me'n Mickey, we done took her along.” Time' enough to explain details later, figured Dad. Under Henry Burlingame’s present belligerent and coldly Inquiring eye, Dad wasn't feel- ing much like detailed explanations. There could be better times for ex- planations, he felt. All the blazing defiance of a few hours earlier had | vanished, somehow, at the sight of | authority in action in the field—and | in emergency. It was one thing to cuss the DOW when you sat at ease in a roundhouse group. But there by the Sabine's throttle, the throttle he had so unprecedentedly made his own, the old railroad dis- cipline, long dormant under retire- ment, clamped down on his shoulders once more. “We'l find out about all that later,” gritted Henry Burlingame. He turned to the division supefin- tendent. “Frank,” he said, with the swift decision of the railroad man who had met and conquered many a problem in the field, under fire of emergency conditions, “you're the operating boss here, but you won't mind my making a suggestion, I know. Hadn't we bet- ter run the Sabine on the siding over there with those construction flats, and give the Sky Rocket a clear right of way to back down through the swamp and over the trestle to the ridge? What do vou think? We can make it before 39 comes along.” “You took the words out of my mouth, boss,” said Wilkinson. “If we =———=][][————= Kite Homes —=lllrs Wonderful Homes for their price— with interesting terms We want you to make Kite Homes— ‘m’cal inspection of these new 3800 to 3816 Windom St. North Cleveland Park The Sample House is 3816 Windom St. —for in them you will find the most interesting Home in- vestment—attractive design, struction, artistic finish.
