eral black sp4ts indicated, too.
For the figures show that the
death rate from cancer, organic
heart disease and diabetes has in
creased--that these dreaded all
ments are more out of control than
they were in 1900. There may be a
lot of reasons for this increase,
but whatever the reasons are the
figures make it clear that the medi-
cal profession has not yet found an
adequate answer for dealing with
them.
SUICIDE reasons
With so many magazine stories
and novels built around tragedies,
where suicide is often considered,
it was interesting to me to read
the statistical, Unconditional record
of the conditions under which peo-
pie find life so unbearable that
they prefer self-inflicted death.
According to the record, about
1900 people in our country take
their own lives each year. The
chief reason given for suicide
among men is poor health, 40 per
cent of those attempting it doing
so for that reason. Among women,
however, domestic difficulties are
the chief cause, so per cent of the
women who commit suicide doing
it because of intolerable home con-
ditions
AS for unrequited love, which
according to the story books has
been for ages the primary reason
for suicide, the figures prove that
to be a comparatively minor rea-
son. Only II per cent of women
and 4 per cent of men who at
tempted to kill themselves, gave
love affairs as a reason. And of
those who did give that reason.
practically all of the women and
90 per cent of the men saw to 1t
that their gesture of suicide-pro-
badly made for dramatic purposes
didn't result in death.
Suicide often reveals more than
anything else, the struggle that
life is for some people, but even
suicide, when recorded in cold sta
tistics, loses its tragic glamour.

Today and Tomorrow
FACTS
BY Don Robertson


Less than l per cent of women
who attempt to commit suicide be-
cause of an unhappy love affair
actually kill themselves. The rest
are either poor shots or just fax
ing.
Young men of today average
tWo-thirds of an inch taller
than their fathers.
Boys IA years old are 80
inches taller than were boys
of IA in 1892.
The death rate from pneu-
monia has been reduced by
more than 30 per cent since
1900.
Over 500 children are killed
each year by accidents with
firearms.
The above tidbits of knowledge
culled from reports of the statis-
ticians of the metropolitan Life In
surance company, are just samples
of the thousands of statistical
facts which are gathered together
each year by men assigned to the
job of keeping score.
There is something fascinating
about these figures which boil
down all of our problems, our ira
gedies, our heartbreaks and our
successes into digits. 1t makes
you realize how little an individual
matters in the overall scheme of
things. 1t creates a feeling of in
significance to realize that the
death of anyone Of us. to these sta
tisticians, merely means a change
on the national scoreboard where
by the figure for Deaths by Pneu-
monia, 1915" say, may simply be
increased from 61,04S TO 81, ,049.
MEDICINE 1900
In these numerical pictures of
life, as presented by the statistf-
clans, there are some rather thrill
ing chapters-such as the figures
indicating the progress which has
been made in medicine during the
Goth century. To anyone who gets
pneumonia, for example, it must
be reassuring to know that so few
die of that dreaded sickness these
days.
If mortality from various all
ments was at the same rate today
as it was in 1900, the statistics
show that 2,2S1,621 would have
died in 1912 from the leading
causes of death. But actually, only
1,209,944 did die from those causes
in 1912
For example: at the 1900 rate,
243,367 would have died from tu-
berculosis, but because of in
creased medical knowledge and
care, only 41,306 did die from that
cause. Typhoid fever, which 1900
estimates indicated would kill 37,-I
274 people in 1912, actually caused
the death of only 504 Childhood
diseases, which, according to 1900l
expectations, would have caused
the death of 1858 children, actu-
ally caused only 4,349 deaths.
The picture, in general, shows
vast progress in overcoming seri-
Gus sicknesses. But there are sew

"A Home Loans
May Top Billion

The fifth year in row in which
the savings and loan associations
and cooperative banks made con-
siderably more than billion
dollars of new loans for home
buying. reconditioning and home
building is seen in early returns
on total 1914 lending activity at
the United States Savings and
Loan League headquarters. Jann-
airy. usual month for the majority
of the shareholders meetings
among these thousands of COM
munity home lending institutions,
has turned up loan figures which
mean that about 81 500, 900, 600

last year, a 15-year high in new
loan activity.
Three-fourthS Of IL was loaned
for home purchase, Morton Bod

To go back to the point that the
movies are easier to work for than
the Metropolitan Opera Co., whose
employee in a manner of speaking,
he has been for 10 years, Mr.. Mel
choir would make a point-a very
important point.
"On the set of a picture" he smiled
fondly and reminiscently, "you can
do many another thing. You can
bring your secretary and dictate all
your letters. You can sit around and
read. You can think. This is all be-
tween shots. It is very good to be
able to relax. Take, for instance, my
picture. I sing eight songs in that.
But it is not so difficult, say, as sing
ing 'Siegried,' in one performance
OF which I have to sing 1000 words.
And, If one makes a mistake, one
does not have to start over at the
beginning of the song. One starts at
the point where one went wrong.
II like that"
But the thing the Nets outstand-
ing tenor likes most of all about hav-
ing discovered the movies is that he
can introduce the best of music to
their audience without having to
forget that he was first, and for all
those years, grand opera star.
You have to learn how to act
differently" he says, but that is not
too difficult. Not, especially, if you
have a wife who knew acting in
tradition"
Mr. Melchior did know some one
who knew acting in a lesser tradi-
ton.

Those Hardy Props
Prove Their Use
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLY WOOD.
MGM never has discarded any
props from its Andy Hardy series
since those pictures were started in
1887. They have been kept to-
gether, the same as the cast, and
still are, even though now Mickey
Andy" Rooney is in the Army. A
good thing, too, for from these props
came much-needed pair of roller
skates for Margaret O'Brien to use
in Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" 4"
A prewar pair which had hung
on the wall in Andy Hardy's room
were dug out of the prop bin and
now Margaret is practicing on them
and will use them in her present
picture.
