...notice with interest the statement in TIME, that the author of the "Jones Law," or the ''Five & Ten," "had seen only one drunken man in his life" (TIME, April 1).

Purged by a physician, he explained that he had been so pestered by a life insurance agent that suicide had seemed attractive. . . .
