NUMBER OF SUICIDES DECREASES SLIGHTLY New York, June 28.— Improved tcouomic conditions in the United Sutes during 1922 brought the sui cide rate down slightly, the Specu [ tor. an insurance publication, re jiorrtd here, announcing that the rate for the year was 15.1 per 100, 000 population, as compared with a rate of 15.7 in 1921. Between 15,000 and 16,000 per sons took their own lives during the year, it was estimated on re turns from 76 large cities. Of these cities San Diego. California, led the list with 47 8 suicides per 100,000. Sacramento. California, waa second with 37.9; San Francisco third with Seattle, Wash., fnMrmctaohuhrldu 30.4: T/>* Angeles fourth with 30-3; Fortlaix^ Oregon, fifth, with 27.3; Seattle Wash., sitxh with 27.1; Trenton, N. J., seventh with 23; and Denver eighth with 23 9 Lou records of the cities tabu lated were scored by Somerville, Mass., with 5.1; Williamsport, Pa., 5.4; McKeesport, Pa., 6.3; Scran ton. Pa.. 6.4, and Richmond, Va., 7.1. The report speculates, but reach es no conclusion why the "often gloomy and rokl New PngJand States" have tlie lowest sectional suicide rate of the country, while the beautiful and sunny Rocky Mountain and Paci6c Coast State* lead the list.
