FAILS CLAIM NINE VICTIMS Niagara Falls, N.'Y., —(UP)— Believed to have been hypnotized by the mad waters that pour over the brink of the American Falls, nine persons lost their lives during the first three months of this year. Practically all of the nine reported to have been hurtled over the falls leaped or fell from a spot bordering on the brink of the cataract commonly known as Suicide Point. The latter is the nearest point to the Falls pedestrians are permitted Io go, a reinforced steel railing being the only obstacle placed there to safeguard the lives of sightseers. It is viltually impossible to leap over the railing directly into the cataract, and those with suicidal tendencies must first hurl themselves in the rush ing Niagara River and be carried over the brink. Witnesses to suicides have said that in most "ases the victims apparently regret the step taken after leaping into the river and fight tinavailingly to regain shore. The speed of the river as it reaches the cataract, witnesses said, in every case proves too strong and the rpeson is swept over the falls while those on shore are help less to meet the emergency. Veteran guides at the Falls are of the belief that a number of persons who have plunged to their death were victims of the magnetism of the rushing torren’s. With the coming of summer Falls and reservation authorities have indicated they w'.'l place a large force on duly to watch for persons suspect ed. o COL.

People who have warts on their noses learn to bear their crosses bravely and make the best of things. People who have become popular heroes should do the same thing.” , o— Field Mice A good word might be said for field mice, usually set down categorically as “vermin,” if the store of seeds recently taken from a mouse’s nest in a ranch building in Yellowstone park can be taken as a fair sample. The cache of this tiny creature filled a five-pound lard pail. The seeds were ill of the fanweed, one of the worst plant pests in Montana. o Religion in the Navy Religion plays an important part In •he United States navy. Divine services are held on board ships and shore establishments having chaplains every Sunday. Among the 75 chaplains in the navy practically every denomination is represented.
