Every day a slim, grey agent of the Recording Angel scans all the newspapers which reach his Philadelphia office, meticulously snips out every item about every suicide. Between times Dr. Frederick Ludwig Hoffman, University of Pennsylvania statistician, writes to health officials and registrars of principal U. S. cities, requesting every iota of news about suicides.
