New York. Aug. s1.-suicides are on the increase.
 Especially among children.
 Reports covering suicides for the | first six months of this year show that PA boys and 293 girls have kill
 ed themselves.
 During the same period of 1920, l 225 children ended their lives.
 The figures come from the Save-a- Life League, of which Dr. Harry March Warren is president. | The object of the league is the prevention of suicides, and it's head reports that the increase in the num- ] Der of self-inf1icted deaths is the 1 aftermath of war among adults and | the fear of parental anger due to | failure in school examinations in the | case of children.
 Of the many children who killed themselves the first six months of this year Dr. Warren said: Many of these children leave notes in which they declare fear of | examination impelled them to die. Tt is not the examinations, really, but the barbarous threats of parents to inf1ict terrible treatment in case children don't pass. Many fathers and mothers are rough and mean to 1 their unfortunate offspring. Some are in poor health and therefore weak in their studies and in resist ance.
 Many parents actually persecute 
 how this can be. They select one particular child as the victim of their l temper"
 The difficulties of childhood and of | that period of adolescence during which the child becomes an adult | were understood very well by George | Eliot, the writer, who reflected upon her own youth, the hardships of | which made her contemplate suicide: 'fThe impenetrable puzzlements of youth! I was happier when older. l "If there is any terror of despair l equal to that of adolescence it has yet to be discovered" | Napoleon Weak at 17. At the age of 13 Lord Byron, in school at Harrow, spoke of the at fractions of death; Later, in Cam. which to answer some of these ques- | tions.'
 Napoleau said:
 | What madness impels me to de
 must come, why not kill myself
 Why should I endure these day:
 when nothing I am concerned il
 This at 17-later he felt more sure of success.
 But what of the adults suicide
 MT. Warren says:
 ''The increased number of suicidel
 is due to the aftermath of war. Peo pie wrought up during that period
 are relaxed now and in this let-dow1
 condition often think of death During the war there were fev
 suicides Misery likes company, ana
 when many persons had the sam burdens they seemed lighter to bear
 ''In May and June, when the worlt
 is bright and gay, and when peopl
 are outdoors and looking happy there are many suicides. Misera bl peopIe cannot endure to contras
 their lives with those of contentet persons.
 November, that black, horrit month finds few wishing to die. : general air of gloom has settled upol . the world, and troubles are easier t bear.

1 tions pile upon us People think: | Whats the use?'
 "would-be suicides need a friend, and to quote the words of Paul-'this is the thing do.'
 teWe must keep people from de- stroying their God-given lives. We get them when they have reached the most desperate stage of existence. Hope Is what they need Two things cause the desire to end life, a multiplicity of sorrows and losses and a great loneliness. We in stil new hope, give people a second wind We show them another way out. We point out the awful risk of taking such a step.
 Try to Keep Plans Secret.
 When we are sick we go to a doc tor; if in need of legal help to law yer. Why. then, when we mean to take a much greater step, do we not talk it over with some person of dis cretion?
 "Secretiveness always marks the person who comes to me to discuss contemplated suicide. The man or woman before me describes the trou- bled mental state of a friend But they finally tell all.
 Many men write to me to get them wives, but that is impossible. These fellows say they would marry girls that were unfortunate and be- trayed and not ask questions I tell all lonesome folks to get into church social life, where they will meet peo- pie.
 ''In the past six months there have been a number of young men who have taken money from banks or from their firms who thought of kill were too small to permit them to live under present conditions. Many men play the market with sad re- suits.
 I often go to employers with erring men and ask for another chance for them The managers usually permit the men to repy from their salaries and do not send them to jail I all not to run away. q Thus the debt is paid back, and the world is never the wiser.
 Affinity Cases Multiply. There are many affinity cases. ! They write or call to tell me of the wreck of life without the loved one who is somebody else's wife or hus- band, They tell of going over to themselves unique types of martyrs I tell them that sort of thing is much commoner than generally believed and that iots of people have the same | delusions- from which they suffer. ''In later years they will look back with unbelieving minds on the tor lures I read in the newspapers of the l wrong ideas
 'I am rot aware that we have eve, lost a. person. It is possible, bur never have I read in the newspapers | of. the suicide of anyone whom we tried to save.''
 But many famous men of the pas have despaired and thought of deatf and lived on to find fame and happi ness in some cases.
 John Hay. statesman and writer just after his graduation from col lege became melancholy and wanted to die. Charles Darwin was sad be l fore he discovered the monkey theor! and said life is too puzzling to en dure.' Later on he thought better of it.
 Lincoln. at the age of 32, wrote tc Stuart, his friend: 'I am the mos miserable man alive. I must die tc be better I canont write more" IT a. note to another friend he enclosed Ia clipping on suicide.

| times during fall and winter great l focks are found together. The birds feed upon various seeds and occasion ally eat figs or other small fruits in early in spring and again later, rear | ing two brobds. The nest, made of plant stems and grasses and lined with hair and plant downs, is placed | in bushes or low trees. The eggs are clear green in color, spotted and clouded with deep wine red and red dish brown. From three to five eggs are deposited
 canaries began early. as Hernandez, in 1887, speaks of the canary as who'll ly yellow in color save for the tips of the wings. The various forms have had their origin in distinct geographic areas, and though some are almost extinct at present, all at one time or another have had a devoted following of fanciers. At present at least 14 of varieties are known.
 '"The common canary is reared pri- mari1y for its song. and from it prob ably came the roller, or song canary, recently in England. In rearing song canar1es attempt is made to pro duce males with clear, soft, pleasing songs with long rolls or trills, and no attention whatever is paid to other characters. These birds, therefore, are usually nondescript as regards col or and appearance, but care is taken 1 in mating to secure males that are stock. The young birds when hedg- ed are put in rooms with birds noted l for their soft songs, and here, through l imitation, they develop their own vo- val powers. Careful watch is kept l over them, and any bird developing harsh notes is removed at once to prevent his corTupting the purity of l tone in the song of his brothers.
 
 as a bird organ, that produces liquid l trills, is frequently utilized in train | ing, usually when the adult birds are silent during mott. Ordinarily the | darkened, and frequently the cages containing the young birds are screended with cloth to lessen a ten dency to objectionable loudness of song. In six months or less, their ed ucation completed, these songsters may be sold or in their turn utilized
 in draining others still younger. Ii is common to teach these birds some simple strain or air, through its con- | stant repetition by whistling or bS means of an instrument. Well-trained
 number of these find their way into | this country

partment red tape. A general or an admiral who may have held un- disputed sway in years past in de- ternining on his own hook what constitutes surplus property within his own loan must give way to the Budget Bureau.
 Such officials must stand aside while the Dawes machine rips through and finishes the task set before it by the President. The inventories be- ing made of Government surplus stocks of war materials will be has tened as a result of the clearer un- derstanding now established.
 Friction is Removed.
 The President has removed possi biIities of friction. He has made General Dawes his personal repre- sentative in the work now progress ing. He has become the President s agent, with the Presidents authority, when he goes into a particular de- 'partment and seeks to correct present methods and set up in their stead new methods that will put Govern ment operations upon a business-like basis.
 A few heads may be hit. But it how seems clear that Dawes, with the staunchsest backing of the Presi- dent, has decided to wade in, wher- ever he thinks 1t necessary, and knock over precedents and personali- his path There Is ample reason now to believe that the President is back of him all the way.

A HOST OF CANARlES
 ARE BROUGHT HERE
Average for the Last Ten Years Is More Than 3OO, 900 a Year.

New York, Aug. 31.-As a house hold pet the canary retgns supreme among birds. This is because it is one of the most successful songsters in the feathered kingdom It has other. attractions; it has a pleasing personality it is easily adaptable to cage life and becomes tame in cap tivity.
 "Canaries have been dornesticated," says Alexander Wetmore in a bulletin of the Biological Survey. flor several hundred years, and. though more common in Western Europe and the United States than elsewhere, have been carried over practically the en- tire civilized world. More than three and one-quarter millions of canartes have been brought into the United
 States during the last ten years, an
 average of more than 100000 birds each year. Most of these have come from Germany, but some are import ed from England.
 ssThe actual origin of the canary as a cage bird is as obscure as is the
 early history or other domssucaeed @ tive canaries were first secured from the Canary Islands, a group with which they have long been popularly
 associated. There are in the Old forms from which the domeSticated
 canary may have come. One of these: | the bird now recognized as the wild
 canary is found in the Canary 1sl- ands The other form, the serin finch. ranges through Southern Europe and Northern Africa, extending eastward into Palestine and Asia Minor. In a wild state these two forms are very similar in color and to a novice are hardly distingutshable-
 eff. as is supposed, the original form of canaries came from the Ca nary Islands, it may be considered doubtful that the seoek thus secured has furnished the ancestors of all our canaries, The slight differences in color between the serin finch and the canary would probably have passed unnoticed by early ornith oIogists and l bird lovers With bird catching, a Southern Europe, the serin would i often be made captive and be ac- | cepted without question as a canary. In this way serins and wild canaries
 may have interbred until all distin- guishablc differences were lost.
 1 sThe original canary, whether serir or true wild canary, in it's native haunt was much different in color from it's modern, pure-bred descend ant. The back of the wild bird is, ir

 especially on the trump, with darl shaft streaks on the feathers. Un.

BEES BEAT PIGEONS
 IN THREE-MILE RACE

A farmer in Westphalia laid a wager that twelve bees of his, re1eas- ed at a distance of three miles from their hives, would travel as rapidly as a like number of pigeons over the same course.
 The first. bee, properly powdered for purposes of identification, did ar rive at its hive a quarter of minute before the coming of the first pigeon to it's cote; and there were three other bees that came in before the second pigeon arrived
 ' A curious form of race is some times indulged in in India-the Noah's s Ark race. At one recently run near Calcutta goat proved the victor over an elephant and horse, the latter being a bad third.
 The slowest races in the world are the snail contests, which in normal times are held in certain parts of Ger many at what we would call county fair The winners are much esteemed and frequently fetch high prices.
