Birds and Animals Pretend
Violence in Play, but They
Stop Short in Exercising 1t.

Small birds chase each other about
In play, but perhaps the conduct of
the crane and the trumpeter is the
most extraordinary. The latter stands
on one leg, hops about in the most &C.
centric manner and throws somer-
saults. Some call it "the mad bird"
on account Of its singularities. Water
birds, such as ducks and geese, dive
after each other and clear the surface
of the water with outstretched neck
and Tapping wings, throwing abundant
spray around.
Deer often engage in a trial of
strength by twisting their horns to-
gether and pushing for the mastery.
All animals pretending violence in
their play stop short of exercising it !;
the dog takes the greatest precaution
not to injure by his bite, and the
Orangutang, in wrestling with his
keeper, pretends to throw him, and
makes feintS of biting him. Some ami
mails carry out in their play SEM
blance Of catching their prey; young
cats. for instance, leap after every
small and moving object, even to
leaves strewn by the autumn wind.
They crouch and steal forward, ready
for the spring; with the body CULVER
ing and tail vibrating with emotion,
they bound on the moving leaf and
again spring forward to another.

More Than $1,000 Soldiers
Totally Blinded in France
As Result of World War.

France has more than $4,000 men
who have been made totally blind IN
battle. To care for these unfortunates
is one of the most serious problems
in that country.
Since the war began Eugene Brieux'
the French writer, has devoted nearly
all his time and energies to caring Tor
the blind soldiers sent back from the
trenches. and the following appeal In
their behalf is from his little paper
LIE Journal DIES Blesses aux Yeux:
"Within a year, if we do not receive
sufficient aid, we shall have to cease
all our distributions of help. 1t IS
serious. We have sent monthly to 31l
families Of the blind assistance
amounting to from 20 to 40 francs.
eve have paid the cost of civilian
clothes for some of them, enabled a
particularly afflicted victim (both
blind and armless) to enjoy winter
season on the milder shores of the
Mediterranean sea. And now l shall
have to cut out many stricken family
from our lists if more assistance IN
funds be not forthcoming. And this at
q time when the cost of living has eA-
ceeded all reasonable limits"

Bumper Crop of Babies in
United States During 1917
According to Statistics

Infant mortality statistics compiled
by the New York milk committee re-
veal the fact that there was bumper
baby crop throughout the United
States in 1917. Basing its conclusions
on the figures CLEANED from 1853 of the
largest cities in the country, the COM
mittee estimates that the number Of
births throughout the nation totaled
2,67S,CO0 and the number of deaths l.
64SyO00, leaving a national increase in
population Of over 100000.
Among the cities Of the honor class
Omaha claims first place with a death
rate of only 59.2, and Seattle comes
second with a rate of 594. Nashville,
Tenn, had the highest rate, 1922. Chi
cago's rate was 1864
The five honor roll cities boasting
death rates under so per 1000 are
Berkeley, CAL, with a population of
4O,434, 1874; Everett. Mass, with a
population of 33.4S4, ass; Brookline,
Mass, with population Of 1892,
41.2; Alameda, Cal, with a popula-
ton Of 23,3S3, 4O.7; and La Crosse,
