sixty-five of the nation's representa

that the it lias grown larger.
The rate of increase of suicides per
100,000 of population was probably tho
least alarming in Chicago. In 1908 the

Illinois metropolis. The increase in
Oakland, Cal., was the highest, with

falo, N. Y. Several smaller cities in
the list showed a decrease in the rate
of from 1 to 2 per cent.
Chicago's total of suicides during
190S was 500. This was at a rate of
23 per 100,000 population. For the
decade ending 1907 the total was
4,031, or at the rats of 21.9.
The increase in the suicide rate haa
been most alartuing in the West.
