WEATHER HAS MUCH
TO DO WITH CRIME
Relation BettOeen Temper
AZURE and Temper.

The sportsman is accused Of saying:
TITS fine day. Let's go and kill
something" But 1t seems that this
Ia no joke and that the killing impulse
is sometimes self-directed. DR.. e. G..
Dexter, who has for years been study
ing the influence of weather conditions
on conduct and who has tabulated
$4,000 cases Of crime, accident, death
and other human events in New York
city, has found many interesting and
some surprising relationships.
4 The number of arrests for assault
and battery rises and falls with the
thermometer. The hotter the temper
AZURE the hotter the temper. When
the thermometer rises to s0-85 degrees,
such crimes Of violence are 90 per cent
more frequent among men and 100 per
cent more frequent among women than
would be expected from the number
Of days. When the temperature goes
up to 30 the fighting falls off. 1t is
too hot to scrap.
But the case of suicide is curiously
different. We should suppose that
more people would be inclined to give
up in despair on gloomy days or when
the blood was chilled in midwinter or
overheated In midsummer. But it is
the barometer, not the thermometer,
that regulates or registers the suicide
rate.
When the barometer falls the sui
eide rate rises. When the mercury
falls from 29.7 to 29.6 there are nearly
three times as many suicides as the
normal average calls for. Strange
that the tenth of an inch should make
such a difference with the desire to
livei Stranger, too, when we think
that ascending a mountain has tend
ency to exhilarate rather than to de-
press the spirits. Perhaps, as Doctor
Dexter suggests. 1t is because a low
barometer reading generally presages
storms.
But If SO the act precedes the arrival
Of the storm, for suicides are most apt
to occur on fine, clear, sunny days, es-
pecially when the wind is high. The
brighter the day the darker the mood.
The higher the wind the lower the
spirits. On the days when the wind
blew 80 miles an hour on the average
there were three times the expected
number of suicides. May is the favor
lite month for suicides, especially for
women.
But who can explain the causes Of
this correlation between the two most
capricious things in the universe, the
weather and the human will7-Ewin

Systematized Production

The system of mass production
originated 200 years ago among the
ikon painters Of Kholuy village, in
Ivanov-Vosnesensky province, accord
ing to the diligent rural correspond
emit By systematizing their work
until each ikon passed through eighty
to one hundred hands, the village was
able to turn out 100000 in a year.
Since the Bolshevist revolution ikon
painting in this and the nearby vii
lage Of Palekh has lost its market.
The villages which had subsisted by
painting the stiff images attempted
agriculture. This was not found con-
genial, and the men now are making
toys while the women are turning out
an unusually fine standard Of en-
broidery, earning better wages than
the men.

Always a WAY Out

If a man has a contract to paint a
sign near the top Of tall brick
smokestack that carries no ladder,
how shall he attain the height? In
Ardmore, Okla, the local electric
power company faced the problem.
An aviator missed every time he tried
to drop brick with a rope attached
to 1t into the top of the chimney. A
skyrocket wouldn't shoot up inside
the tall flue because the taper Of the
stack stopped 1t. Then the sign paint
er filed four toy balloons with buoy
ant helium gas, attached a long
string and released them inside the
stack at the bottom. They foated
out the top and drifted away until
the weight Of the string pulled them
down. Then a rope strong enough to
support the painter was pulled ur
into place.

LIFE NOT GOLDEN
TO ORGAN PUMPER
UnenUiable Boyhood Days
of Young Musician.

The organ pumper was a figure In
his time. He was just boy, imma-
ture and awkward, whose father and
mother sincerely believed bis church
aflliation would some day lead to
sparkling accomplishments In the
realms of music, if not in the fields
Of Undergraduates that ultimately
were assiduously shattered
His Office was rated as the one posi-
tive stepping stone In the community
to higher things, but he never re-
garded 1t as such because Of the dis
comfort In the strict necessity for
wearing his best clothes to work In,
He was fretted by a wide starched
collar that chafed and choked him.
Sometimes he wore a troublesome
blouse buttoned directly on to bis
pants. but usually he was harassed BY
a pair of suspenders, twisted in the
back, which continually slipped down
over one shoulder or the other as he
pumped with one hand and tried to
ease painful stitch In the side with
the other.
In winter his REFER and heavy
tapped cap pulled down over his ears,
to the lasting detrlment Of those or
gans, could be discarded when be
reached the loft; but he was not a.
lowed to shed the natty coat of the
suit that came to him in o transaction
insuring free bat and Junior League
baseball. In summer, before be start
ed for church, he was forced to brush
his cowlicky hair, wash back Of bis
ears, and he grlmacingly stamped his
swollen, travel-calloused feet into
pointed-toed shoes previously polished
with a combination brush and dauber

long, ribbed stockings up with knotted
black elastics from which the elias

sacred, a duty allegedly housing a
great future. There was no freedom
to indulge his prankish propensitles,
unless he was hired by the organist
for practice session on Saturday
morning or at the conclusion of the
regular services. He helped produce
the music that was the basis Of the ex-
allied quality and sublimity Of the pro
gram. But he lost a fine personal
appreciation of his place because Of
the muscular exertion required, which
was only aggravated by clothing
wholly unsuited to the rigors Of the
job.-From "The Pipe Organ Pumper,"

Killing Influenza Germ,

1t is good news that an Athens doc
tor has invented an electric machine
that is said to be able to kill the in
fluenza microbe in 10 minutes. Still,
there may possibly be a catch about
1t somewhere. If you have to put the
microbe into the machine and turn the
handle for a quarter of an hour be-
fore the horrid creature expires, 1t
may seem hardly worth the trouble.
"In any case, think the time speci-
fed is far too long" comments a
writer In the London Post. aft 1 could

lingering death for the victim may
