sight It is: and only the initiated can
understand the feeling of helpless ter

its face to a river of fire and it's back
to a mighty sea.
Lava is not substance of the slight
density of water. 1t is a pasty sub
stance, hideous gray by day and light
red by night. Like some terrible SER
pent it twists and crawls over the
earth, devouring everything it touches
and leaving not a trace of its victims
behind. Not even hills stem it's pros
gress, for 1t is forced upgrade as well
as down by the terrific heat and the
noxious gases that propel it.
Few eruptions from Kilauea do any
serious damage to the countryside
now, for the present crater-Halemau-
mau, meaning the House Of Fire
is deep within a much larger crater,
and the flows that leap from it usually
crash against the precipitous walls of
the deeper crater and there halt. But
it's beauty is almost enhanced by that
fact, for It permits the observer to
approach almost to the brink Of ac-
tivity.
So it was with the eruption of 1919
The lava rose from Halemaumau with
such force that 1t formed asdome over
the crater, completely obliterating it
temporarily, yet still remaining with

Suicide Changes.
4 RECENT study has been made

A RECENT study has been made in
Germany in changes in the sui
eide classes since the war. Compari-
son of suicide statistics for the pc
riods 1911-1913 and 1920-1922 shows
that the frequency of suicide among
children, which has always been
about five times as common among
boys as among girls, was not af-
fected by the postwar period. In the
age groups up to age %. in which
the decision to commit suicide is us
ually of erotic origin, no changes are
noted.
The marked reduction in the mid
die age group Is. however. especially
striking, and the assumption has
been advanced that natures with
manic proclivities, who ordinarily
make up a large proportion of the
suicides, felt more comfortable dur
ing the excitement due to the war
than they did under more settled con-
ditions.
The increase in suicide in the age
groups of women over 60 and of men
above 20 is ascribable to the effects of
imitation of the currency, The in
crease of suicide in women of 20-30
report, to the greater risks that
young women run during troubled
times. Near the peak of the initiation
period, around 1922, the number of
suicides among women above 20
years of age increased by 13 per cent.
while the increase among men of the
corresponding age was only Z per
cent. The conclusion seems reason
able that women of advanced age are
less able to cope with bad economic
conditions than are men of cores
ponding age. The year 1924, owing
to the stabiliZation of the currency.
shows q decrease in the number of
suicides among the older age groups,
especially among the women.
On the other hand, the report
seems to show that religion consti-
tutes the most potent deterrent to
suicide. The statistics of Prussia for
1911-l3 show that among men of
Protestant, Jewish and Roman Cath
olic faiths the proportion Of suicide
per 10000 was, respectively. 4.10, 461
and 1.S1; among women, 1877, 200
and 0.50.
The fact that suicide Is less fire.
quent In rural tha.S n urban districts
may be because country people can
procure food more easily than can
city dwellers. Since the war suicide
among women has increased at
about the same rate irrespective of
religion, and more rapidly than
among men.

Indefatigable and inexhaustible, the
union is sometimes stumped by a
query. When one gentleman recently
inquired for a correspondence course
in conducting a customs agency. a
commercial agency and a railroad
agency, and another desired a list of
all the organizations in the United
States which publish historical docu-
ments-the union felt helpless.

Hundreds of thousands OF booklets

A merchant can get posted on

To the traveller the Pan-American
Union is boon. Now that climbing
the Andes Is regarded as thrilling as

hundreds of persons seek information
about travelling in Latin America.
What money shall ] take?" What

when shall I go?" are among the
inquiries received here.
If the Questioner is going to Brazil
the union will advise him to procure a

much worry him. But his recklessness

ly do for the former marine. The
aim Of the union is not only to place
men, but to place them where they
will be happy: not only to encourage
their migration when advisable, but to
discourage 1t when inadvisable.
For example. some Latin American
students wish to work their way
through college in this country.
Eager and adventurous, they resent
the damper which the union may at
tempt to place on their hopes. In
fairness to them, however, the union
continues to dissuade them from COM
ing, as 1t Is difficult enough to fit
into a new educational system, with
out having to work. But once they
are here, the union will put out all
possible feelers to get them jobs.
There are about 1000 Latin Amer
lean students in the United States,
and. according to Heloise Brainerd
chief of the unions education division,
there were more requests from Amer
lean students about studying in Latin
America in the last year than in the
preceding eight years put together.
The lad who wishes to finish his ed.
ucation in Peru is one of hundreds
who appeal to this department for
aid. The University of GuadalaJara
would like a sample of our college
curriculums, a list of our textbooks,
and discourse on our methods. A
student in Colombia wants to know
where to study mechanical engineer
ing, how much English he would need
to know, and where he could live.
Another in st. Louis asks for the
cost Of studying law in Rio de Janeiro
and a teacher from the coast wishes
a position in Buenos Aires, If her
travelling expenses will be paid.
Uruguay writes for two commercial
school teachers from this country.
Chile's National Education Association
desires information about the Win
netka plan of education. A Columbia
University student needs help in her
thesis on college life in Latin America.
The exchange of professors and the
distribution of scholarships are made
through the union. Unfortunately.

The white mans civilization Is
gradually overcoming the grip of the

speaks Christianity tumbles back sew

omnipotent for the native mind to
cast it out as yet. and much that the
churches have accomplished In the
past year among the more persist
emily backward natives will have to
be done all over again as q result of
this latest demonstration from Mauna

Superstitions that the white mans S

driving from the kanaka nature.
The modern native of Hawaii is a
faithful and devoted Christian-until
Pele crashes forth in awesome maj
esty from one of the few remaining
craters where her fires still shoulder
among the paradise isles Of the Pacific.
Then the ancient rites OF barbarian
ages seize stunned minds, and the old
"kahuna men" become once more the
tribal priests to whom the terrified
natives look for deliverance from
Pele's wrath.
So it was with the great eruptions
of Kilauea, in 1919. which the writer
had the privilege of witnessing from
beginning to end: so it was with the
last outburst of NIauna Loa, in 1921.
and now, it is quite safe to predict,
so it will be with this latest and prob
ably most serious eruption Of Mauna

Divine Providence that Christianity
came to their tribesmen before these
demonstrations of Pele occurred.
Otherwise a number of them un-
doubtedly would have been offered as
human sacrifices to appease the wrath
of the ruthless goddess of the volca-
noes. Only a few generations have
passed since the "kahuna men" lost
their power and the fairest flowers of
Hawaii's young womanhood escaped
sacrificial rites.
Like all aboriginal peoples, the old
Hawaiians had many gods and god

long been forgotten. but the reign

forget her, too.
