Harder To Dissuade Suicides Since War London, Sept. 17. —(United Press ) —Stevenson's tale of the ‘‘Suicide Club” contains no stranger passages than today came from the lips of Brigadier Chapman who for seventeen years has been head of London’s antithesis to the Suicide Club —the Anti-Suicide Bureau of the Salvation Army. Here and there on the walls of his office and on the desk before him lie momentoes of would-be suicides who canie to Chapman's office for one last word of advice before takling their lives. Sometimes Chapman succeeded in staying their hand. Sometimes he failed utterly. "I remember one man who came to me in black despair saying that if I could not find him one hundred Pounds immediately he would kill himself,” said Chapman. “I promised to do what I could for him, and •old him to go away and wait until he heard from me. As I left my office an ho ur ] a f er [ saw a newspaper headline which read ‘Regent Street Suicide.’ My man had gone straight o, it and shot himself.” Revolver Jammed But they didn’t all end that way” continued Chapman. He picked up a cheap revolver that lay on his desk. "The man who held this re'olver to his head and pulled the trigger is still alive. The' revolver Jammed. The shock of the effort brought the man back to his senses, e came to me with tears in his eyes•hings straightened out for him and today there is not a happier man in London. This knife here cut the throat of *

Noel, wealthy father of the demented Montclair youth who killed a six-year-old girl, will spend his all to save his son from the electric chair. The authorities believe young Noel will be sent to an asylum. a harness maker at Woolwich. But it didn't go deep enougn. He pulled through. Today he is happy and at work.” “Yes, I've seen a queer cross-sec-tion ot London. "There was the army officer for instance who dashed into qjy office and threw enough cocaine on my desk to kill a dozen men. "Save me from myself,’’ he Cried and then fell sobbing into a chair. We pulled him through all right, too.

"Women, as a general thing are harder to help than men. Most often with them it Is a love affair. That is the hardest sort of difficulty to settle. Business troubles, financial troubles, can often be straightened out. At times I have gone into a man's business and run it for him for a time while we sent him away for a vacation. If business has picked up, that works fine. If it hasn’t —well, perhaps in the meantime he changed his mind about killing himself, and the experiment works out all right anyway.” Chapman said it was harder today to dissuade people bent on killing themselves than it used to be. "The war seems to have jangled the world's nerves," he said. “I*< ople in despair are more despairing than they used to be. The war taught us to hold life too cheap. Besides, life is too swift nowadays.” Chapman is retiring from his office as head of the Anti-Suicide Bureau. He will be succeed by Brigadier Gordon. -O~ ■ • " 1 Indiana Day To Be Observed Al Mooseheart Mooseheart. 111..

WHEAT SMUT IS FOUND IN COUNTY County Ajjent (Jives Methods Os Treating Seed Before Sowing Several inquiries have come to the County Agent's Office regarding proper methods of treating seed wheat for smut. Although stinking smut was not very prominent this year, there are reports of several Instances where the crop was considerably affected, In the county. The old formaldehyde treatment, which has ben used for a number of years, may be used In two different ways. The old way of using formaldehyde was the so-called "Dry Method,” where in equal parts of formaldehyde and water were used. About one pint of formaldehyde was used to each 40 bushels of wheat. After the wheat was allowed to lie over night, with a cover of some sort thrown over it to prevent the escape of formaldehyde tennis. The feums or gas kills the smut spores. A new treatment, which has been recommended by the Crops Depart ment at Purdue for the last two or three years, is the copper carbonate treatment. This matrial is purchased at drug stores in the form of fine powder. It is mixed with the wheat at the rate of 3 or 4 ounces to the bushel. Closed containers must be used in mixing the powder with the wheat since it is extremely irritating to the operators when the dust is inhaled. Some farmrs have improvised mixing machines by using barrels. Both ends are left closed and a hole is cut in one side of the barrel to allow for placing the wheat within and removing it after treatment. The barrel is mounted on an axle. Others have used taxes. One farmer reports the use of a 10 gallon cream van. This method might be satisfactory for a small amount.
