DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives Of thousands of Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
ArmenIans since the beginning of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks. Because of lack of food.
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children In these instltu-
lions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty day in some cases.
/ When Armenian funds became in
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
1t Is estimated by persons who have
made survey Of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care,
Near East Relief is the only organi.
zation now operating in Western Asia
and II is making an appea! to save
these Christian children.

MAGIC IN GOLD AND HUM0R
How Happy Combination Of the Two
Put End to run" on Famous
English Bank.

story is told. with some reserva-
ton, by a London paper, concerning
the grandfather of the well-known
Quaker peer. Lord Peckover. The
story goes that, during run on the
bank of which he was a principal, at
one time known as that of Quincy,
Birkbeck, Peckover 6 Co.. he exhibit
ed, within sight Of the counter, bags
full of gold, surmounted by a peck
measure. also filled with sovereigns.
"You see," he. explained to the de-
positors anxious to draw their bal
ances, ''that there Is enough money
for you all, and peck over" This Is
said to have terminated the run. Such
is the magic of gold, and OF humor.
One feels by no means certain that
stacks of "fivers" would have achieved
the same happy result. Or, to revert
TO the time of George III. when the
sum Of twopence was represented by
a solid two-ounce coin, would large
pile of these weighty "cartwheeis''
have allayed the fears of the small
depositor? mol Not even ware.

BROKE ALL MULlSH RECORDS
the First Of His Tribe Thus
to Shuttle OFF.

We are not prepared to accept with
out mental reservation the story from
Brooklyn. that mule, perhaps an ex-
service mule, committed suicide by
plunging through the plate-glass front
Of an undertaker's Office, after imbib-
Ing freely of 2.75 per cent beer. We
know the mule; have known him from
an early age, and we know the deci-
NAL stuff that passes for beer. That is
to say. we have heard about 1t. No
self-respecting INDEPENDENTLY II he
came from Missouri-w0uld drink 2.75
in the first place. and in the second
place. II he did drink 1t 1t would not go
to his head. 1t might go to his legs,
his hindlegs, which are naturally Of
nervous temperament, and likely to
reach out at any time. We can imag-
Inc no better way to put "kick" In
the brew than by first putting the brew
In a mule.
The average mule Is looking for an
excuse for kicking, anyway. Feed him
up on the beer of commerce and leave
the rest to his natural predisposition.
He will register disgust In the obvious
way.
And then again mules never commit
suicide. We have heard Of men COM
hitting suicide by twisting the mules
tail. but the hybrid himself Is much
In love with life. There's even rumor
in the South and Southwest that mules
never die; that. barring accidental dis
solution. they live forever. Be that as
It may. we do not recall that we ever
saw a mule suffering from age, or
that was feeble In his right hind shoe.
