GERMAN SUICIDES,

What is believed to be a record in Berlin in the matter of suicides was established the other day. Seven sui- cides in twenty-four hours come the reports of from two afternoon papers.
 The records are believe6 to show that members of the German race are more given to this act of self-de- struction than those Of any other race, although it is probable that were the facts known it might be that during periods of famine and hopelessness other. races could fur nish more appalling figures
 There is strange note to the dis patch. The most prominent of the suicides was former soldier, como safe at home, but who had been a decided pacifst.
 Was there anything ominous, any vision compelling his act, that he re- garded as a prophecy of another war by Germany?

WOMEN ORGANIZE

The professional and business wom- en have organized.
 At once everyone gives them their good wishes and passes along think ing little more about it.
 There will be another meeting Thursday evening when there will come the regular organization and election of officers. A point is made of the fact that the club organized is to have a social and recreational place where business and profession women can spend their leisure time.
 The resolution concerning the club aoems to be very simple and harmless: "We, the undersigned, wish to form a. club, the object of which shall be to promote the interests of business and professional women; to secure com bined action by them and to stimulate cooperation. We desire this club to be non-political, non-sectarian and non-racial."
 A WOm6hS CluD OI luiS CIldt dCtST is quite different from the usual wonl- ems club. Here are women accustom- ed to business, business ways and business conversation. Quite possibly it would not be wrong to say that the main topic discussed would be ''shop"-in large sense.
 All the sociabiiity desired will be found in the club if it turns out to ne of the character intended, but never. theless business and a discussion o the bigger phases of professional worl and business doings, will honestly in. terest the members more than affair of a distinctly social character which nevertheless, still hold their interest
 And gradually 1t will be recognize as a power First there will come tn inclusion of this club in matters per taining to civic affairs. It is not i'm possible that the Chamber of Com merce will consult with it's leaders.
 The politicians will pay some at tention to it's suggestions. When sue matters as the jitney-trolley matter come up, this club will have it's say

NATIVE BIRDS ARE
 FAST DISAPPEARING
Prof. Arnold, Suggests Planting
 Of Trees tO>lDCreaSe Pl0CkS

New York, Oct 15.-Trees, shrubs, and vines which will attract the birds should be planted by home owners, according to Professor Alan F. Arnold, of the New York State college of For estry, who declares that many of our
 native birds are disappearing because
 of the lack of food and shelter
 Professor Arnold has made public
 list of plants attractive to birds, which
 included many of the most ornamental
 of plants. This included the native
 red cedar, which provides the best
 shelter and nesting sites for birds
 while they find food in the berries and insects commonly found on the trees.
 The native towering dogwood and
 the Chinese towering crabapple are
 also favorites of the birds. The gray
 stemmed ldogwood, honeysuckle, Am
 erican elder and sheepberry also are
 serviceable. The Virginia creeper is given as one of the most popular vines, furnishing nesting sites for birds and draws the attention of birds away from grapes, apples and peaches.
 ''1f one has place where plants of wilder sort can be introduced said Professor Arnold land wishes to
 make a special point of attracting birds, there is a. great variety of natjvs plants that could not perhaps be used for more finished effects but here | would be just the thing. These are mulberry, tupelo and white spruce, such shrubs as the spice bush, choke | cherry and swamp rose and bitter | sweet and frost grape vines The | ffwTe ssa,y--- ses-<eezk5 asiIberry wild l black cherry, bayberry, American el- der and highbush blueberry can be counted on in general to attract the bIuebird, cardinal, flicker, kingbird, Baltimore orio1e, robin and cedar wax i wing.
 'The home owner interested in ob- serving birds himself or affording an opportunity for his children; the farm | CT who desires to protect his fruit crops and the person who wishes to assist in the conservation of our city and our forest trees, as we'll as our l native birds can perform a great pub- l lie service by planning his planting | with the birds in mind.''

because w have met togethAr in this social way"
 Finally, the report of the New Brit ain Welfare association throws light
 on what can be done in other fields. This report is particularly deserving
 of attention because it goes to the
 very heart of one of our most inn
 portant problems, the health of fu- ture generations. With the hope that
 greater publicity will bring the sub- ject more forcibly to the attention
 of Herald readers, one section of the report made to the association, very important section, is reprinted: Hundreds of our own New Britain children are undernourished. We hope the time will come when our city will have a health center so that the Well fare association may refer a family to the health center supervisor who will see that they secure proper medical care. We use the facilities at hand, the private organizations and clinics, who at their best can only scratch the surface. We hope that some day all the schools will weigh and measure the children and discoy- | CT the underfed and provide neces- sary nutriment to the frail ones We hope that some day all various clinics,
 private health agencies. etc, may be lco-ordinated in a health center under
 the supervision of the city's public lhealth department"

FLYING

A discovery in flying has been proven a success One is prone to watch these developments as they come, as the proper authorities seem to give them little publicity.
 Georges Aveline, formerly an army pilot has devised an instrument which keeps the machine level in any sort of weather, much as boat, its rudder once fixed, would travel straight to 2 given point were it not for the winds and tides and currents.
 The machine flew from Avelone to Paris and return The pilot watched his instrument work but did not touch the balancing apparatus himself dur ing the flight. There were four pas sengers.
 It is said that the pilot may leave his seat and make slight repairs with out worrying whether his machine runs into cloud banks or adverse air currents as the instant the equilibrium of the machine is lost, a set of electric
  l the machine immediately. For flying at night the invention 1 provides a series of electric lights if | a dangerous degree or inclination is attempted. | May it be said in passing that those who keep watch on these develop ments, and the manner in which they | turn out, are not wasting their tims i in looking into the future

"JEST RUMIN ATIN'."
 (RObert RuSSen.)

We ain't been ruminatin' much, my black oT pipe an me, Because the soothin' evenin's has brought such coEplaisar- Cy.
 An in the dusk O twilight, or beneath the moons white rays, You cannot see them dream clouds, an you cant write whay they says. But now, when chill the eve nin's; when the fire bIazes high,
 The dreams from your OF briar pipe jest seem to multiply. You sees your old ambitions as they was when you, a boy, Saw all them dragons O the world which you would glad destroy;
 You see the pretty ladies whom you'd rescue from despair; You live among the stars with all your oP dreams gathered there.
 You feels once more your life will be true, great an fine an strong
 An them you glance back an muster up the years that's gone.
 You see no deeds O heroism that you've done so far, But never fail to ruminate an keep in sight your Star. You know you've done your best, but that don't satisfy t seems;
 Keep tryin' harder-then will come the truth O those old dreams.

HARDING AND JOBS.

In the light of the description given Of President Harding, in "The Mirrors of Washington" it is not strange to hear that the Republicans fret be- cause the President delays in busting Democrats and replacing them by de- serving Republicans.
 In the light of that same book it is not strange that it was Senator Elkins. a particular friend of Presi- dent Harding's and one with whom many of his vacation golf matches were played who was the Senator to call upon the President and make pro- test. It is intimated in that book that the President does not choose for pals men of the greatest minds, but rather prefers just folks" as the book calls President Harding.
 Senator Davis may not be ''just folks as the term is applied usually. He is man of a prominent family, and dignified boise, but mentally he may be +'just folks" just the same.
 
 kins said that the Republicans of his state are impatient that so little prog ress has been made in the last eight months ip calling to the Administra- ton men loyal to it and in full sym pathy with it.
 "A large majority of the key posi- tions in the Government, and still larger number of positions under them are held by Deserving Democrats ap- pointed under the two Wilson Ad- nninistrations because of their par tisan activities in the Democratic or ganization, rather than because of any deserving merit outside of that one consideration" This may be Senator Elkins personal opinion.
 He continued that the Republicans had convinced the people that these mon were inefficient. 'The Republi- can party" he says, promised to rid the government of these appointees. If they were inefficient then, they are inefficient now. The Republican party was voted the responsibility and to discharge it successfully it's members should be called in to help with the job"
 Senator Elkins' remarks may be fitting and proper, but it is submitted that when Senator Harding wa: elected President of the United States it was not voted that he should neces- sarily replace every petty ofice-hold. CT who happened to be a democrat
 "Just Folks are not inclined to in terpret elections in that way. Jus Folks by voting for Warren Hard ing did not insist that he should fire every hired man" he had just be cause his political creed differed from that of the boss"

FOOTBALL.

Now comes football-not as we read of the games in a half-interested manner of those members of the school or collegiate teams which win or lose. are praised or condemned.
 Football means much to these the members of the teams and the applauding members Of the schools or colleges represented. But it means far more to the parents of those who are to participate or who are likely to take part.
 IS life. One hesitates to encourage rarents to send "the boy' into the scrimmage with all the pep and en- ergy he has; to fight, under the rules, IS he should fight for the organiza- Lion he represents. Yet one may not hesitate to say that he will come out stronger, better because of those min iature battles.
 But outside of the fear that every parent must possess when his or hel son is taking part in a game, there | is the interest of the parents, fal | away, perhaps, brought into every let ter home. First the boy has joined the squad; then has he had a chance to play a great deal; then perhaps, h. has almost made" the team. Thel I if he is fortunate, skilled and de termined, he makes his record.
 And all through this fighting no only the boy but the parents hay been breathing hard. The sigh of relic

BUGS COST PEOPLE l. BILLION ANNUALLY
Crop Loss in This Country Totals
 Vast Amount

Washington, Oct. 15.-Insects are costing the people of the United States $1, 0,000,000 year through their inroads on fruits, grains and vege- tables.
 The ultimate consumer in the end pays for the crops these insects de- stroy, through higher prices.
 With $1,ooo,oo0,ooo every year the
 Foot the bill of 500 disarma-
 ment conferences, like the one
 scheduled for November.
 Pay half tho total cost of feder-
 al government operation.
 Run an army three times the
 present size.
 Pay all current naval bills
 twice and have money left over. Here's the official list of these marauders and the annual board bill of each:
 Grasshoppers .......... s5O,Oo0,000 Chinch bugs ............ 60,000,00 Hessian flies ............ 40,0OO,0Ol Corn rootworms ....... 2O,O00,OOO Corn earworms ......... 2O,OOO,00O Cotton boil weevils ...... 2O,00O,O0O Cotton boil worms ..... 12,OOO,0O0 Cotton leaf worms ...... 8,OO0,00O Apple coddling moths %. 10000, ,000 Grain weevils .......... 1O,O00,00O Potato bugs 8,OOO,O0O I Army worms .......... 15,00O,OOO Cabbage worms ........ 5,0O0,OO0 San Jose scales .... ... 10,0OO,00O | The total eaten by these pests amounts roundly to one-tenth of the total farm produce of the United States. But pests destroy 30 per cent of all the fruits grown every year and I20 per cent of the vegetables.
 Chinch Bug Worst
 The chinch bug, with the biggest appetite of all mounting to -$6O,OO0,- 900 a year, affects Ohio, Indana, isouthern Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Mis- souri, Kansas and Nebraska. Some times it invades the southeastern coast states. l Grasshoppers with d $50,OOO,O0O ap- lpetite are more or less common throughout the whole United States. The boil weevil which feeds on the icotton plant confines it's activities to Ithe cotton growing states of the south. IOther cotton pests bring the total an- lnual destruction bill up to $14O,631,- HOO.
 1 Experts Fighting
 At the Department of Agriculture a IstaH of expert entOmogolists continu- lally are studying these pests with a lview to stamping them out. They have lalready made appreciable progress. l Findings of the experts are publish ed in bulletins at the governme ent printing office. These bulletins are lspread broadcast among farmers. l Government experts are also sta- toned in the field to study the pests where their destruction is greatest.
 The department has accomplished much by stduying natural enemies of the pests. These are other insects that devour the pests or their eggs.
 When a natural enemy is found, its growth and spread is encouraged
