They Jcriqw the advantages in low fyst 'cost , and economy of operation of cars, of that type. And they also know their limita tion in performance. They have not expect ed light cars to have the same riding com fort or long endurance; or the range of per formance of larger and more costly cars. So when they have seen that the Essex possesses equal advantages in economy with their own light weight cars and is at the same .time as rich in finish and detail ap pointment has the enduring qualities of cars costing twice as much as the Essex and rides as easily as the finest and most expen sive cars; and equals the performance on hills, accelerates and holds its own at speed with high-powered and costly automobiles, they speak their admiration for the Essex.

The salesman will not at first attempt to de scribe the car to you. He will send you out so you can see what the Essex can do.

Dean Stevenson feels"that the lurid details of suicide attempts printed in newspapers are found to suggest to some despondent person a plan for ending care. "It is an axiom of modern psychiatry vthat the most important thing in present day medicine is the influence of suggestion," says he. "The seed corn so broadcast is 4ound to find fertile ground. There are always a number or persons whose minds are for the moment in such a state that only the sugges tion of suicide is needed to cause them to act." s . "There is a morbid curiosity in most men," Father Myers agrees, "which interests them in the cir cumstances of suicide. lhey eagerly devour all the' published de tails. Then, when a reader suffers some depressing circumstance, the thoughts suggested by the article recur. If his belief in eternity is meager he may resort to sen destruction as the greatest pleasure he knows. Faith would deter him." War Partly Responsible. The war. too. is partly responsible for the enormous increase inthe number of suicides, Father Myers and Dean Stevenson agree. "The high tension to which peo-j pie were keyed during the war," says Dean Stevenson, "suddenly re laxed at the coming of peace. It left oeoDle more ready to be swayed by their emotions and their moods. "Every man, woman and child is subject to moods. Dejection is deepened by weather such as Oma ha has experienced during the last month. Rainy, cold weather tends to weigh down some spirits so that petty reverses seem to be irfsur mountable difficulties. Dejection is the forerunner of melancholia, and melancholia is the greatest general cause of suicide." Investigators have found that only one suicide victim in every four in the United States is a wo man. From the aees of 17 to Zl years, women are more prone to lake thejr lives than at any" other time, and during this period the number of suicides among women is greater than among men of the same age Religious Effect on Minas. Racial characteristics and reli gious customs have much to do with suicide, writers on the subject say. In Taoan and India religious fanati cism glorifies suicide.! Whereas in Germany the inordinate numDer oi suicides is accounted for by the worldly Teutonic philosophy. Dr. S. T. Armstrong, general med ical sunerintendent of Bellevue hos pital in New York, says that pover ty plays little direct part as a cause of suicide. Another writer offers these ques tions as having speculative interest: "Why does the rate of suicide lessen during war? - "What is the mental state of hun dreds who kill themselves every year? , . "In racial aspects, why is suicide in Japan eight times that of Portu gal, and why is suicide among Amer ican whites eight times that among full-blooded American negroes? "Why do the Slavs of Bohemia kill themselves at the rate of 158 per million, while the Slavs of Rus sia kill themselves at the rate of only 31 per million?" The penal code of New York makes it a felony to attempt suicide and fail. In that state attempted suicide is punishable by imprison ment in a state prison for not ex-1 ceeding two years or a fine not ex ceeding ?I,UUU. or both. In Nebraska no such law exists, according to County Attorney Shot well, thoueh one who attempts sui cide and fails, he says, might be charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and punishable by a small fine or a short jail sentence.
