NEW BELGIAN RELIEF IDEA.
Useless Christmas Present Money to
Go to Fund.

Prominent business men of Washing
ton have started a new kind of Christ
mas sacrifice for the Belgian relief
fund. 1t has beaten the IS. T. L. G.
movement from the start. 1t was very
unostentatiously started by the volun-
tary action of individuals. and spread.
1t first attracted attention when the
donations began coming in to the Dis
trict relief committee with headquar-
tiers in the Cripps building. 425 11tL
street northwest.
1t consists in one man going to an
other and saying: Il have been in the
habit Of giving you each year som
Christmas gift, that you probably die
not want. And you have been giving
me something that often I did MOI
want. This year 1 want you to tax,
the money that you have been accus-
toned to spend on such a gift and
turn it in for the relief of the starving
Belgians."
The movement is spreading and the
relief headquarters is reaping the
benefit.

Differences Partially Explained.

A partial explanation of the differ
ence between city and country, as re-
gard their contributions to the hos
pltais 1or the insane. is found in the
statistics or cases of general paralysis

huhper OF persons admitted to hos

than one-sixth were afflicted with one
or the other of these diseases This
Grass OF cases. however, formed only
1O.4 per cent. or one-tenth of the ad
missions from rural communities. as
compared with p per cent. or one fifth
of the admissions from urban commu-
mites.
IN proportion to population, the cases
of this character received from the
city were about four and one-haIf
times as numerous as those from the
country.

INCREASE Of INSANITY
NOT AN ALARMING ONE
Growth of Asylum Population Due
in Part to More Modern
Methods.

Though there has been an enormous
increase in the number of insane under
institutional care in this country dur
ing the last decade this in itself can
not be regarded as conclusive proof of
an increase of insanity in the general
population outside institutions, says
the report on the insane in institutions
of Commerce.
The number of insane reported in in
situations increased from 15O,151 in
1904. to 1874 in 1910-an increase
of 25 per cent in six years. The in
sane in institutions increased twice as
fast as the population.
The increases, it is explained, are at
least partly attributable to the extern
sion of the provisions made for the
care of insane persons and to the
growth of the practice of placing them
in institutions. In the interval be-
tween 1904 and 1910 the number Of
institutions for the insane increased
from 32s to 366, the average number
of inmates per institution increasing
from 45S to SIP.
An increase in insanity is probably
In some degree a natural consequence
Of the rapid growth of cities in the
United States. it is declared. Statistics
sanity is caused by the stress and
strain, the keener competition, the
congested housing conditions and the
vice and dissipation of city life, than
is caused by the lonely isolation of
country life.
