Anti-Suicide
Club Is Formed
By Hungarian
Alarming Increase to Deaths
In Budapest Leads to Found
ing of Organisation by
Feinsilber.'
By NEWTON C. PARKE.
Pari, Nov. 26. Shocked by tKe
inerriiig number of uiciic in Bu
tlpt, one o( the gyct capitals of
the world, before the war, i group of
nix wealthy young men have formed
tn "Anti-Suicide club," whose object
ii not only to prevent uicide, but to
care for dependent of thoxe who
end their own livea in despair.
They work absolutely without
salary and pay all the expenae of
the organization themselves. The
police are in close collaboration with
the club tnd declare that Korea of
lives undoubtedly have been saved
hy youths who were once some of
Budapest's gayest spenders.
Robert Fcinsilher is the founder
and president of the club. All Buda
pest's miserable! know him as "Uncle
Kobert, and back ot tne creation 01
the organization is the story of his
experiences in Russia, where he wa
sent as a boy to study the works of
Tolstoi.
. In his class of 40 itudents in Rus
sia, Feinsilber found 26 youths who
were determined to end their lives.
Some of them had made several at
tempts. Disheartened at his expe
riences, he returned to Budapest and
vowed that he would devote his life
to cheering the distressed.
Three Suicides a Day.
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
rof 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 head
quarters of the club and invited sev
eral of his friends to join him. He
rade known through the newspapers
thac he was ready . to help obtain
employment for persons who despair
ed of getting work and contemplated
suicide. He gave advice to young
sirls, old men and women, and even
titled persons whose fortunes had
Seen swept away by the war finally
ame to consult him.
, Police Aid Club.
As ne'ws of' his efforts spread
throughout Budapest he began to re
ceive aid; from unexpected sources.
The young wife of a former diplo
mat, who was reduced to playing the
violin in the streets, for a living, told
oncof her friends that she was going
to kill herself: The Anti-Suicide
club informed police. The woman
was watched and dragged from the
river' just in time. Feinsilber took
her to his villa. He bought her new
clothes, paid her rent and arranged
violin lessons, so that today she
earhs a.decent living for herself and
her invalid husband. ' 1
. A baroness, once very wealthy, be
gan, selling her costumes, one by
one, to buy bread. l One of her
neighbors suspected that she planned
suicide " and wrote Feinsilber an
anonymous letter. "Untie Robert"
had the gas cut off in her apartment,
and the police brought her to his vil
la. She confessed her intentions and,
x through Feinsilber's efforts, was put
in touch with former friends, who
are caring for her.
Another villa for the care of chil
dren of suicides was Feinsilber's next
move. He has followed that by es
tablishing a central organization, to
which he invites wealthy residents of
Budapest to bring clothing and pro
visions for those in misery.

Motorcycles Making It
Harder for Criminals
The policenlan who tramps over
his beat is almost extinct iu Kan
sas City. In his place is the motor
cycle patrolman, who not only cov
ers a Urges beat, but does it more
thoroughly. There are now 75
motorcycle policemen, and when the
system is completely installed an of
ficer will be available at any place in
the city within three minutes.
Robbers no longer can count on
making their escape by swilt auto
mobiles, for the mounted officers
stationed about the city are able to
overtake them. The neighborhoods
protected in this ' way have been
practically freed from night prow
lers and burglars. Traffic laws are
better enforced. The police are
able to keep track of all strange
motor cars that come into their dis
trict and stay any length of time
Best of all, the citizens have-the
comfort of knowing that there is a
policeman at a certain place whose
aid they can secure on short notice.
Booths Established.
The system centers about police
booths established at the center of
residence districts about one and
on a police signal telephone ind the
other on a wire running from the
telephone exchange and open to calls
from residents.
As soon as the booth is estab
lished letters are sent to all in the
district informing them of the serv
ice and containing a tfard on which
is the telephone number, with in
structions to the citizen to place this
in his telephone book so that if he
needs help in a hurry he can call di
rect instead of through the police
headquarter's exchange. '
Two motorcycle men arc stationed
at each booth at all times. After
10 at night there are four men on
duty. Two. of these patrol the dis
trict, one on the motorcycle and the
other jn a side car. Riot guns'
loaded with buckshot are among the
equipment.
Two Motorcycles.
With the coming of dawn, only
two officers are attached to the
booth, one riding the round on his
motorcycle and the other staying in
the booth awaiting telephone calls.
There are two motorcycles assigned
to each .booth, both eguipped with
side cars. This makes them usable
in bad weather and also permits the
carrying of an extra passenger,
either a prisoner or an officer.
All these neighborhood police
booths are located at intersections
of principal thoroughfares, thus al
lowing a careful watch of traffic and
giving easy access to all parts of the
district. Booths also have been lo
cated on the main highways leading
out of the city. Thus at any time
all the exits can be closed to shut
off fleeing motor bandits or high
waymen. Guide for Tourists.
. These stations serve also as
guides to tourist cars, and road
found in all of them.

The Graceful
Woman
"I am fully convinced that there
Is no necessity of the fallen arches
and the weak feet that so deform
many women of the present time,"
says Louis Chalif, exponent of the
classical dance.
"In the la-1 few -years, since
youne women have taken to class!
cal dancing, their feet hare Im
proved greatly; and also since
women have taken to walking, golf
ing, tennis and other sports the Im
provement has -been marked. The
result is 'that a woman may wear
her sport shoe, her walking shoe
and her evening shoe all with equal
comfort and that Is because she has
developed a strong foot.
"The woman who sits the greater
part of the day does not develop the
muscles of the feet and so she has,
not the fallen arch, but the weak
feet. The woman who is almost
constantly on her feet has not de
veloped sufficient strength to sup
port the weight of her body, so she
has a 'fallen arch.' Immediately
she resorts to artificial supports. Ill
fitting shoes contribute to the mus
cular mal-conditions of the feet, for
the nerves of the foot are cramped,
and the free circulation of blood
interfered with.
"We need, and we need badly,
pleasing methods of exercising the
feet. The best exercise that can be
had for the feet is the classic danc
ing, because I have seen hundreds
of poor, weak feet rejuvenated
through this exercise."
The foot strength and comfort
which are essential to the graceful
woman and to every woman's hap
piness: are obtained by wearing
Cantilever Shoes, whose flexible
arches (not stiff as in ordinary
shoes) permit the muscles to exer
cise freely while walking. Shaped
like the foot, there is no. pressure
on the nerves, no restriction of the
circulation. The flexible arch sup
ports a weak foot while natural
exercise is strengthening it.
Tou walk gracefully in Cantilever
Shoes. Tou feel well and you look

dress and daytime wear.

other physical activities. In the
try-outs for gym leaders he made
one of the highest records, compet
ing with boys older than himself.

ergy in his classes and (he game
room soon won for him the admira
tion, not only of the men of the
staff hut of all the boys themselves,
lie has always been ready, willing
and anxious to serve the boys' di
vision in every way. When William
is given a duty to perform it be

YcMerduy wlirn the boys of Y"
came into the locker room to get
ready for gym thry were surprised
to find 50 new lockers installed and
ready for use.
Owing to the large increase In
the membership during the past few
months it became necessary to have
a larger locker equipment to ic.
commodate the large gym classes,
every day.
The lockers are of the finest on
the market, with many improve
ments over those now being used
to the satisfaction of the classes.
The bovs found their new lock
ers had Vale locks on them and
that they were more convenient
than the old ones. Also that they
had to learn a new combination in
opening and cloving the lockers.
The lockers were furnished and
set up by the Fred MedaVt com.
pany of St. Louis, Mo, This addi

will enable a more efficient hand

on the gym floor in less time.
Heretofore, Junior "D" gym class
