YWCA CAMPAIGN NETS
OVER $6000 SO FAR
(Continued from page 1)
Ing a rapid growth. Salem has out
grown, the facilities afforded to
the YWCA, forcing them to travel
much like the rich man. riding in
small car, for with larger oppor
tunities for service this organisa
tion is forced to make a brilliant
showing with a small budget.
Notwithstanding their handicap
the YWCA has made strong head
way and has placed its work in a
position to take over bigger
things, las. soon as they are ac
cessible. They have been assisted
materially In many ways by the
YMCA since the construction of
the latter's $160,000 building last
year, but, the YMCA too is con
fronted with a problem which is
not easy to cope with.
To make this year a successful
one, this quota of 17,000 must be
raised. Twenty-five strong work
ers will commence Wednesday to
pickup stray offers that had to
be passed up in the 'concentrated
drive of last week. Many -were
involved in the wave of influenza.
others were out of town, but have
promised o assist In closing up
the drive. . i
If you . haven't been solicited
you will likely get an urgent call
from those assisting. TWCA of-:
ficials plead for every possible
boost to help them keep abreast
with Salem for 1927.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 19
(AP) Suggestion is the chief
cause of the increase in suicides
among college and high school
siuaents, nut an important con
tributing factor is the modern civ
ilization ..which guards the indi
vidual from facing . problems of
self preservation, according to Dr.
OvS. Snoddy of the psychology de
partment, Indiana university.
Too much excitement and over
indulgence excites the unstable,
unsocial and discouraged individ
ual, and because some body else
takes. their life, he takes his. Dr.
Snoddy said. - The psychologist
declares no particular school con
dition Is responsible for . suicide
increases. Worry over grades does
not affect the normal Btudent, he
declared.

Correggio Said to Exist
in Some of Old Missons
SAN ANTONIO. Experts who
have examined three grimy oil
paintings in-San Jose Mission here
say that one of them, "Infant Sa
viour" probably is the work of An
tonio Allegri Correggio, an Italian
painter who died in 1534.
Correggio is noted for the glow
and splendor of his color and for
the grace of his figure composi
tion, which is sometimes marred
by inadequate drawing.
The paintings, brought to this
country from Spain when the mis
sion was built nearly 200 years
ago, are mildewed and faded now.
Some of them have started to full
to pieces and have been cared f c r
by the loving hands of Mexican
women who attend the Berviot-s
which still are held from time to
time in the dilapidated chapel.
The other pictures are called
"The Flight into Egypt," andVTlie
visit to st. Elizabeth." .
