women could smoke and talk and

''Then, too, there's no place where
a woman can buy cigarettes with

cigarettes. We carry all brands,
and they can pick the kind they
like best
In the shop some women were
taking their cigarettes raw, others
had cigarette holders ranging in
styles from ivory, with emerald tips,
to the collapsible sort that fold up
and fit into little pendant case

Cigarettes were produced from cases

.NII-SUICIDE
CLUB FORMED
BY HUNGARIAN
Alarming Increase of Sui
cides in Budapest Led to
Founding of Organization
by Wealthy Young Men.
By NEWTON C. PARKE


international News Service Staff
Correspondent
Paris-Shocked by the increasing
number of suicides in Budapest, one
OF the gayest capitals of the world
before the war, a group OF six
wealthy young men have formed
an "Anti-Suicide Club" whose OBJ
ject is not only to prevent suicide,
but to care for dependents Of those
who end their own lives in de-
spair.
They work absolutely without sal
airy and pay all the expenses of the
organization themselves. The police
are in close collaboration with the
club and declare that scores of lives
undoubtedly have been saved by
youths who were once some of the
Budapests gayest spenders.
Robert Feinsilber is the founder
and president OF the club. All
Budapest's miserables know him as
'Uncle Robert and back of the
creation of the organization is the
story of his experiences in Russia,
where he was sent as a boy to study
the works of Tolstoi.
In his class of forty students in
Russia Feinsilber found twenty-six
youths who were determined to end
their lives. Some of them had
made several attempts. Dishearten-
ed at his experiences, he returned
to Budapest and vowed that he
would devote his life to cheering
the distressed.
Upon his return from the war
young Feinsilber found that the
number of suicides in Hungary had
increased to an alarming extent.
Young girls, depressed by the loss
of their lovers. were drowning them
selves daily; the police had reports
every few hours OF the suicide of a
widow, or of old people whose sup
port had been taken from them by
the war. From 1916 to 1920 the
number of suicides in Budapest had
increased nearly 600 per cent, and
in the capital alone at least three
persons ended their lives daily.
Feinsilber opened his villa as
headquarters Of the club and invited
several of his friends to join him
He made known through the news
ppaers that he was ready TO helr
obtain employment for persons who
despaired of getting work and con-
templated suicide. Re gave advice

"a visitor to San Antonio could
hardly imagine destruction from the

maintain that the city has no river
at all, only creek. in the forest
of modern business buildings the
river is as effectively hidden as is
the Genesee in Rochester. The San
Antonio rises practically within the
city limits, gushing full-grown from
rocky fountains. It's narrow bed has
been paved, and it meanders slug
gishly through the city for all the
world like a medium-siz irrigation
ditch. In stroll through the bust
ness district one will cross the little
stream half dozen times in going
less than score of blocks.
San Antonio's little river has al
ways added picturesque touch to
the city. Throughout the business
district the banks Of the wall-con-
fined stream have been parked, and
groups pause constantly on the many
little bridges to admire the sloping,
close-cropped lawns set with flower
beds and shaded by tall, deep green
clumps of banana trees"

DAvIA OR GLORIA
(By Lily Wandel, in Commercial

6 Perhaps he would have been posi-,

ther had not interfered. She never
missed an occasion to draw his at
tention to the girls good points

many. She arranged too many OPP

He did not want the stage all set
for his romance He could manage,
his own love affairs. His mother
aroused his opposition and to show,
her and everybody that he could do
Just as he pleased he managed to
pay particular attention to Gloria

Common sense told him that Gloria
would not make suitable wife. He
did not like to picture the future
mother OF his children smoking
cigarettes, drinking cocktails, laugh
ing at stories bit shady-and
Gloria did all these things.
There was Davia, dainty, refined
and tactful, swinging the CONVEX
sation away from subjects too
coarse or delicate to discuss, smil-
ing in gentle disaDproval at short
skirted, red-lipped Gloria. He liked
to see Davia in his mothers draw

the piano keys, singing some old
ballad in a low, sweet tone: He
loved to hear her talk, she avoided
contradictions and slang, the unforc-

or said she showed her good breed
ing. Davia would never embarrass
him.
Then why did he hesitate, he
asked himself for the hundredth
time? Had this dark-eyed Gloria
thrown spell over him, was he
weak enough to fall for cheap at
fractions? He had absolutely moth
ing in common with her. She was
not familiar with any Of his favorite
poets, had never heard of Keats,
but she rather adorcd X. G. B.
Her slang made him vince and
frequently her ideas shocked him.
She might be nice as stimulant,

what he needed
He wished something would hap

Gloria, to make him forget her, so
that he could turn in peace to gem
tle-eyed Davia and be happy. He
felt he would be happy with Davia,
for she was the kind of a girl he
wanted for his wife, the girl he
had imagined in his dreams.
A solitary round OF golf ended,
he dropped YEARLY into rocker on
the country club porch, his mind
fluctuating between Davia and
Gloria, when the sound of his name
came floating through an open
window at his elbow.

NEARLY TWO THOUSAND
ATTENDED CAMPUS DAY"

The May Day Festival, held each
year on campus day at the university,
yesterday attracted a crowd of from
1900 to 1000 people. The day was
ideal for the event, there was bright
sunshine and no wind. The process
sional was led by the senior girls
wearing caps and gown, followed by
the queen, Miss Virgiia Dermott and
the maid of honor and the page, Bes-
sic Newman and Mary Hepton.
The second part was composed of
"The Olympic Games" in which
groups of dancers interpreted various
athletic events. The third part, the
"Springtime Ballet" was a series of
solos, couple and group dances.
Apparently much time had been
spent in preparing for the program as
the rythm was at all times perfect
and there was no hestitating on the
part of the individuals in carrying on
their parts. The festival was directed
by Irene Watso Murray, director OF
women's athletics, assisted by num-
Der of girls in this department.

The Cubs are stronger this year than

also a strong battery, Patterson,

one of the best receivers in the Junior

ARMY ESTABLISHES
LAUNDRY SERVICE
SOLDIERS WILL HAVE WASH
ING DONE FREE-COST
OF SHOES DROPS HALF.

New York City and Brooklyn and
the vicinity are soon to have big
military laundry, to be established at
the Brooklyn base of the quarter
master Corps and operated with other
salvage activities Of the service.
Washing will be done free for all the
enlisted men on duty in the New York
district, and also all the laundry work
for Army transports which dock
there. AS soon as the new plant has
been completed, the laundry at Hobo
ken, N. j. now operated by the Gov
ernment in a leased building, will be
discontinued.
This is in line with the new order
giving free laundry service to all en-
listed men, and at cost to officers,
which will effect a saving Of about
$1,O00,O00 year in Army laundry
bills for the Government. 1t is esti-
mated that it costs So, a month to
keep a soldier clean.
A recommendation has also been
made to the Secretary of War to pur-
chase the post exchange laundry at
Fort Slocum, New York, for $8,486.
If taken over, this laundry will be
operated as Quartermaster Corps
plant and considerably enlarged to
take care of laundry work from
neighboring posts in the vicinity of
New York.
The high cost of footwear is bound
to fall sharply, if figures given out
today by the Quartermaster Corps
are any indication. of readjustment in
prices.
When bids for 100000 pairs of
shoes for the Army were opened in
April, 1920, the average price was
found to be $6.73 pair. Today, with
bids calling for 250,000 pairs, the
contracts have just been awarded at
an average price of $343 per pair, a
cut of practically fifty per cent with
in twelve months.
Such prices will save the taxpayers
millions of dollars in shoes for the
troops.
