The figures for 100 American cities show that the general suicide rate for 1915 was 20.7, ns against 20.3 for the period between 1910-14. The trifling Increase throughout the whole country is caused by the great increase which the far Western cities had. San Diego's Increase was 20.1, Sacramento's 19.6, San Francisco's 8.9. Manhattan and the Bronx, are analyzed together as a city, had a suicide rate during 1915 of 19.4 per 100,000, as against 18.6 during the five years before, an increase of 0.8.

He keeps racing right along at top speed until he gets all fagged out or meets a rival for the object of his affections.
