SUICIDE AND HARD TIMES.

The most tragic evidence of hard times is the increase of suicides this year over last, as shown by figures given out by the Save Life League. It re- ports 6,509 suicides in the first six months of this year, against I'll in the sarae period last year. The proof that difficulty in finding work was the main cause of this increase is to be seen in the fact that 4,527 of these suicides were men and 1882 women. 1t is easier for women to find work under economic depression than for men, because fewer women have families dependent on them and they can work for g smaller wage; indeed the replacing of men by women is a feature of most business readjust- ments to meet the decline of trade.
 phase of the report with which economic conditions had little or noth- ing to do is the suicides of children. Of these there were 507 this year, against 225 in the same months last year. Of the 507, 2s3 were girls and 214 boys For lack of definite knowledge of the reasons why so many children of fifteen and sixteen took their own lives the league planes school conditions. Suicides
 
 in examinations are reported every little while in the papers, but school eondi- tions have been little, if any, different this year than last, so that it is unfair to throw the increase upon the schools. However. tha figures plead earnestly for more attention to the health of growing children, for more play in the open air, longer hours of sleep and cheerful home conditions, calculated to dispel the blue-days and worries of adolescence. A child of fifteen should be happy and cheerful. looking forward eagerly to life, instead of seeking to leave 1t. Inheritance may account for some departures from the normal stand ard, but far more are caused by failure to observe childish worries and to as certain and remove their causes.

head and receding chin that these two indications emphasize each other, and besides indicate an ability to think quick ly, with quick reaction of the nervous and physical to the mental characteristics.
 What then is denoted by a comhina- tion of the slanting forehead with the prominent chin?
 First of all, to certain extent the two neutralize each other. You wouldn't read the extremeness of mental ehaFac- teFistics in a sleping brewed person when accompanied by the prominent chin as with a reeeding chin.
 Likewise the prominent chin doesn't indicate quite the same slowness of re- action when the recedlng forehead is above it as waen the bulging brew ac- companies it.
 For the rest the combination of the recedins Horehead and the prominent chin indicates quiekness of mental pro cess coupled with delibeFation of action eople with these characteristics habit uaHy and naturally think before they act The combination is a strong one in the battle of life, and other things being equal, those possessing 1t are like ly to win in that battle.

THE VETERANS. BUREAU,

Criticism of the governments treat ment of tho disabled soldier has been one Of the aftermaths of the war. Dill atory tactics, roundabout methods and a multiplicity of red-taDe that had ev- cry appearance of heartlessness have been in the broadside of charges made against it. Now it is promised that the day of dual responsibility, of divided authority in the governments dealings with former service men is over. This is to come about by the creation of The Veterans Bureau which will consoli- date activities of the war risks bureau the public health service and vocationa, education as related to soldier well fare.
 The ring of business sincerity is ir the announcement made by Col Charles R. Forbes of Seattle, whom President Harding has brought to Washington tc be director of the new bureau His policy will be to seek out the disabled ex-service man and try to find out what has gone wrong with him and the wal risk service instead of waiting for a tale of Encouragement to come even. tually limping into the bureau. q in. tend" says Director Forbes, that the Veterans Bureau shall live up to its opportunity in carrying out the wide and farsighted provisions of the Sweet BiH for the complete rehabilitation in

DIETING THE LABOR BOARD.

Between railroad employees who are advised Ito go on a fishing trip" and Pennsylvania road officials who display a tendency to disregard the decision of The railroad labor board on. the election Of a shop committee, defiance of the board is indicated at both ends of the line It is not plain how the board could have done anything else than de- claro invalid the election of shop crafts committee to confer with Penn ylvania officials when it was shown That only a minority of the employees aad participated in the election. At the other end of the line. the decision of the board on the eight-hour day is threat ened with defiance if it is contrary to ihe wishes of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes and Shop Foremen, whose vice president ad- vised them "to go on a fishing trip" in that event.
 The public will not be inclined to sec the decisions of the board set at naught by either one side Or the other. It was created to secure uninterrupted trans pcrtation, and while it has no legal power to enforce it's decisions, it will have the force of public opinion behind it as long as it's decisions are given in an impartial spirit. Continued defiance, by either one side or the other, which would destroy the authority of the board would put the next step with con- gress which would have the prestige of public opinion behind it in bringing the refractory element to time.
 One disturbing complication was re- moved by this weeks order of the la bor board. which calls for a secret bal lot in the election of members of the committee. This decision reverses the previous ruling at a particularly trou blesCme point. The requirement. that signed ballots should be used was doubtless inspired by desire to proven abuses, but to require an employe tt sign his ballot would have created 2 situation with all the objections of tn open ballot in political voting.

 By the end of January 1S49 eighty vessels had set sail for San Francisco via Cape Horn, fourteen for ChagFes, two for Vera Cruz, carrying all told, over five thousand, seven hundred passeng gers.
 The newspapers spread broadcast all sorts of exciting rumors and with the arrival of each batch of letters the gold letter from a gentleman in California stated that Jumps of gold a pound in weight had frequently been found and that seod=sized pieces could be dug from the crevices in the rocks.
 A young man who dad gone out ir the New Fork volunteers it is said had written that he would return in few months with half a million in gold dust These stories caused the yellow fever tc rage more fercely than ever. Every ship that sailed was so crowded that temporary houses were built on it's decl and by the middle of March more thar seventeen thousand gold hunters had Jeff for California.
 Much trouble followed those wht passed through Mexico on account of tht bitter feeling that had been engenderet by the recent war with that country anC all along the route through Mexico wer' said to be strewn the bones of thes' who had been murdered.
 Early in March the great emigration overland began and scores of companie and thousands of men attached to n company set off for the gold fields. | less than three weeks it is said twenty eight hundred and fifty wagons crosse the Mississippi at St. Joseph and fftee hundred at Savannah Landing and Coun ciI Bluffs.

POLAND's PLIGHT.

h the past few years PolanJ seems somehow to have been land marked out for one sort of distress after ans other. Trampled under foot by con- tending armies during rhe war. it's trou- hles were not ended with the signing of the peace treaty. year ago this month the Russian cavalry of General ludenny was threatening Warsaw and Poland seemed at the mercy of the reds Now the second Invasion from Russia has struck haplsss Poland The vanguard of the starving, typhus ridden and cholera-stricken masses from Rus. sis is crawling across the Polish from ter into a land barely able to sustain Is own war-harassed population.
 Whether the Russians come with the arrogance of conquerers or as pitifuI rleaders for @ crust of bread, Poland this year as last must bear the brunt. Against this wave of hunger, death and disease, the Poles stand helpIess They cannot and will not shoot down the starving, and nothing else will hold back the starving mob. If help is tn be given to Poland it must be given quickly.
 The first line of defense . line of food ruppNes, hospitals and relief workers must be established somewhere east ot the Polish frontier if Poland is to be saved from the same fate as tfse. Rus sians. The refugees are coming at the rate of 2oOO day; and these are nc more than the scouts and skirmishers Of the vast army of the starved that is moving west. north and northwest.
 Poland alarmed and appalled,. is call ing for heln. The alarm is spreading through all lands to the Atlantic France has arranged an elaborate san itary cordon against travellers from Pc land and Russia and the east, and i! urging all western Europe to take tht same precautions against cholera and typhus. Western Europe is sensing new danger from this always-dsngerou Russia.
 The great hunger belt is still to tn ssst of Kiev. The famine is young yet It is twelve months to anothel harvest. But Europe is beginning tc wake to the new menace out of Russia
