INFANT FOODS
 ARE DECRIED

The keynote of all of yesterdays s papers and discussions in both the af- ternoon and evening sessions at the conference of the American Academy of Medicine on the Prevention of In- fant Mortality in New Haven, was that ignorance and poverty are the most serious and fatal causes of in fant mortality. and at the bottom of all other causes. In the afternoon session, which was given up to the medical phases of the problem, some Of the most frequent and formidable causes of infant mortality were treated at length, among which the discussion of alcoholism. tuberculosis and infants diet were the chief features of the discussions. Most emphatic protest was made by various of the speakers against artificial feeding of infants, sall speakers strongly pleading for breast feeding, and substitute foods of all kinds were entirely condemned, cows milk in all cases being declared as preferable.
 pr. J. H. Mason Knox. Jr.,> associate of pediatrics of the Johns Hopkins Medical School, spoke about the dam aging influence of alcoholism of the parents on the health of the child Among the factors directly and in directly destructive to the life of the infants of most civilized countries, Is acute and chronic alcoholism of the parents" he declared
 pr. Woods Hutchinson, an eminent and well known author and lecturer. most emphatically declared himself against all artificial feeding of in fants. especially that by ''so-called scientific substitutes of maternal milk" Cows milk is bad enough" said Dr. Hutchinson. but all the so- called babies foods. especially those widely advertised as such. are worse, without exception. If mothers or wet nurse milk cannot be had, cows milk is preferable"
 Excessive child bearing was pointed out by pr. Alice Hamilton of Hull House. Chicago. as one of the causes of infant mortality, showing from sta tistics collected from the study of 1900 families that the death rate of infants increases much out of proportion to that of the birth rate in large famil- ies, under the same hygienic condf- tiOnS

AUTO TAX HARD TO COLLECT
INDIVIDUAL SUITS NECESSARY
WHEN BILL Is UNPAID.
Corporation Counsel Hopes That Test
Case Decided Favorably viii In
duce Owners to Submit.

Only by suit in court against each in
dividual owner of an automobile can the
annual automobile wheel tax provided in
the last District appropriation act be COL
lected. according TO an opinion of Assist
ant Corporation Counsel F. H. stephens
submitted TO the Commissioners today.
OF course suit will not be necessary
where owners pay voluntarily.
In the last District act there is a
clause which provides
Hereafter there shall be assessed and
collected an annual wheel tax on all auto
mobiles or other motor vehicles owned
and operated in the District of Colum-
bia having seats for only two persons the
sum of SO. and on all such vehicles hav-
ing seats for more than two persons an
additional tax Of 81 for each additional
seat"
The difficulties of collecting this tax
were recently pointed out to the Commis-
sioners by Assessor w. P. Richards. The
matter was referred to the corporation
counsel for advice as to what method OF
procedure should be followed.
Il see no way of collecting this tax"
says Assistant Corporation Counsel Ste
phens. Except by suit against those who
refuse to pay. The law unfortunately
does not provide any means OF collection
and there is no reference to any existing
law Wnlcn Will nelp In tnlS respect.
Il suggest that the assessor send out
his bills. and. when he finds that this
method is ineffective. that he refer some
prominent cases to this Office for action.
Perhaps a few suits successfully con-
Quoted will establish a precedent, which
will be all that Is necessary"
There are about 5000 automobile own
ers In the District of Columbia. II all
should refuse to pay the tax 5000 suits
would be necessary. But Mr.. Stephens
thinks that after a few of the cases have
been decided in favor of the District
and the owners see they must hire a
lawyer for fight in court the tax will
be generally paid voluntarily
There Is one man in the District service
who is vitally interested in seeing that
this tax is collected. for the appropria-
tiOn act gives him an increase OF salary
Of $500 per year provided this tax is col
lected.
At the next session of Congress. Mr..
Stephens said today. additional legislation
will probably be recommended so that
some means besides individual suits in
the courts will be provided for enforcing
this tax.
