Choosing a Birthday.

An English investigator has exam
ined the birth dates of more than 200
eminent persons, with the idea Of dis
covering whether there Is a concen-
tration of births in any one part OF
the year. He found that the greater
number Of persons on his list, which
included chiefly men Of creative in
tellect, were born In the colder
months Of the year. February ap-
peared the richest month. Among
sixty men of the highest rank he
found that twenty-three were born in
the winter, fifteen In spring, fourteen
in the summer, and eight In the
autumn.
Even with list of 200 persons, the
results he obtained may easily be at
tributable to coincidence, particu-
larly as the difference between the
warm and cold weather outputs OF
greatness is not a wide one, accord
ing to these figures. But il one
glances down the birthday list OF the
Presidents Of the United States, the
Investigators deductions find unmis-
taxable support.
1t would be a blind patriot who
pretended that all the Presidents OF
the United States have been over
shadowingly great men. Not half Of
them have been that, but all have had
qualities of distinction. 1t appears
that only seven Presidents were born
in the months from April to Septem-
ber, and twenty-one were born dur
ing the other half Of the year. May,
June, July, August and September,
taken together, can boast only three
Presidents.
There is an interesting hot weather
job for somebody with the patience
to take longer list Of names than
the English Investigators and throw
more light on the relative value OF
hot and cold weather birthdays. Pos
sibly he will go further and discover
whether June is a more propitious
birth month for poets or for eminent
manufacturers Of hardware.

Bad News From Quebec.

From IL Erencmcnt, Quebec.
The virility Of tho people Is far from
being what II was here some fifty years
ago. There Is no need to rack the brain
TO find the cause. 1t has been pointed out
and scientifically explained In number OF
medical pamphlets. notably that OF DR..
Aurele Nadeau among others. We are not
20 robust, we are less prolific, and even
less sane because we have broken away
from the living habits OF our forefathers.
This is most marked In regard to the staff
OF life--bread, good wheat bread. The
weakening OF the race is direct result
of tho nutritive enfeeblement OF the bread
We eat.

Abuse of the Parole System.

Philadelphia has acted in the case
OF the drug peddler with long
criminal record who was able soon
after his conviction on five indict-
ments to obtain his freedom again
on parole. The case has already
been discussed in THE NEW York
HERALD In its relation to the wide
spread belief that there has been un-
due lenity in the treatment Of GRIM
inals in this country.
The whole transaction has been in
vestigated, the parole has been with
drawn, and the culprit has gone back
to Jail to serve his term.
In the investigation 1t was dis
closed that the application for parole
was signed exclusively by two of the
oonvict's brothers. One of these
brothers has been repeatedly arrested
on charges of receiving stolen goods,
picking pockets and being a profess
sional thief. The other brother has
been arrested nineteen times In the
last ten years, chiefly for picking
pockets. The pictures of both have
long been In the Philadelphia rogues'
gallery.
Casual inquiry would have re-
vealed these facts. An inspection of
the trial record would have shown
that the grounds on which parole
was asked were false. But appar-
eLtly neither inquiry nor inspection
Of the records was made until public
Indignation compelled action. The
request OF two brothers with police
records that another brother, a drug
peddler, be let out of prison was
amiably indorsed by one magistrate
and amiably granted by another.
Laxity Of this kind is not peculiar
to Pennsylvania courts. 1t is typical
of conditions which have prompted
citizens of several large cities to or
ganize bodies with the purpose Of ex-
posing weaknesses in prevailing
methods of criminal prosecution and
of bringing to public attention abuses
Of the parole and probation system.
Cleveland, Ohio, which has such an
organization, has just published the
results Of survey Of crime In that
city.
In this document II Is asserted that
with a population of approximately
SOC, 900 Cleveland has six times more
murders than London with a popula-
tion Of 100000. In the first three
months OF 1921 Cleveland had as
many murders as London had in the
whole year of 1920. There are more
robberies and assaults in a year In
Cleveland than there are in all OF
England, Scotland and Wales. For
every robbery or assault with intent
to rob in London there are seventeen
in Cleveland. For every robbery In
Liverpool, with population one and
one-half times larger, there are thir-
ty-one robberies In Cleveland.
Comparisons are not made with
American cities. There need be none.
Cleveland is probably neither much
better nor much worse in respect Of
crime than her sister cities. Condi-
tions there are about the same as
in the average large community.
A very serious aspect OF the
matter is the lack of respect for
laws indicated by the statistics OF
crime. Whatever contributes to fos-
tering contempt for laws, whatever
contributes to the criminals conf

Russian Says Harvest Will Stop Famine
Soviet Relief Plenipotentiary Declares No Russian
Will Die of Hunger This Winter.

mo Russian will die OF hunger this
winter. The present harvest will as
sure enough grain for every adult" NJ.
Eyduk, heavy. stolid man, more of the
smart moujik type than of the intellect
uals. who is the Soviet plenipotentiary
In matters relative to Russian relief. told
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
to-day.
Eyduk, who was former manager
but is now an obdurate communist, made
the assertion with a broad gesture. in
dicating that the Bolsheviki can shift
without foreign capital. His bravado
seemed particularly misplaced at this
time when reports are being received
of the inadequacy of the Russian har-
vest and the needs Of outside relief in
wide new famine areas.
Observer Contradtcts Him.
A -Bolshevist observer told the
correspondent that the number of
deaths from hunger during the coming
winter would undoubtedly surpass that
Of last winter but Eyduk brushed star
walton aside with sweep of the hand.
He was more determined to show the
Russian Governments invincibility than
to discuss the real needs Of the Russian
people.
He then proceeded to modify his orig
inal broad statements by saying that
though there would be deaths this year
these would not be caused by hunger
but by epidemics. He admitted that
there are 100000 orphan children whose
young lives American relief can save.
Finally he gave statistics of the harvest
outlook showing that the expected crop
will assure each Russian 800 pounds of
grain, which is approximately one third
of the normal peace time average. He
gave a gloomy shortage of the cattle
shortage, declaring that there had been
a decrease of rs per cent.
Lyduk is familiar with the American
relief work because he did the liaison
work between the relief workers and
the Soviet Government. I'VE are
merely thankful to Hoover for the relief
work which kept peoples body and soul
together, but nothing further" said
Eyduk. Outside capitalists are willing
to give something to prevent starvation
but are unwilling to help the hungry
to get back on their feet again and to
meet their own needs. Hoover's politi-
cal hostility makes American relief
work increasingly difficult"
