POVERTY KILLING INFANTS
MORTALITY DUE ALSO TO DIRT
AND IGNORANCE.
Philanthropy Has Not Helped to
Keep Down Death Rate, Says
DIR. Woods Hutchinson.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, November r.
Several rather popular ideas were given
a severe Jolt In the address of DIR. Woods
Hutchinson on Results of Philanthropic
Experiments I'm Increasing and Decreas-
ing Infant Mortality" at the conference
on prevention Of infant mortality last
night.
DR.. Hutchinson remarked that the sub
ject had been assigned to him as the
devils advocate of the section.
1.-The general progress Of modern civili-
cation has markedly diminished infant
mortality" he said. together with all
other death rates. though not in the same
proportion. How far have the we'll meant
experiments Of philanthropy assisted and
how far have they hindered?"
Philanthropy Has Failed.
Answering his query, he said that one
of its first and most natural attempts
the institutional care Of children-had
been weighed and now almost unani-
mously found wanting.
''The chief cause of infant mortality
he continued, is poverty: the second and
third are its children-ignorance and dirt.
IAN experiment of doubtful value Is
that of encouraging mothers to go on
working and to neglect the nursing of
their own children. Anything that helps
to make this easier. such as creches and
day nurseries. especially. such as receive
infants at ten days old, ought to balance
very carefully the good they may do
against the harm they certainly do
1.-The child is the ward of the state, just
as certainly before he becomes an orphan
as afterward. The best and most paying
Job that the community can set any
mother at is that of raising her own child
to the highest pitch Of efficiency and in
telligence. ..---
Mothers Should Be Paid.
Some day We will have sense enough
to pay her to do 1t and feed herself well
in the process.
Lastly, 1t is to be doubted whether the
habit in philanthropic circles Of 'encour-
aging mothers of the working class to
bear large families or offering prizes or
exemptions from taxes for all children
above a certain number. and at the same
time discouraging any deliberate attempt
to limit the number of children, is either
a helpful or an intelligent one. A high
birth rate practically always means a
high death rate and a high infant morz
tally.
THE production Of a larger number Of
children than can be adequately and prop
erly reared and trained Is one Of the most
serious complications of poverty and OBJ
stacles to social progress. The quality
of children reared Is vastly more i'm
portant than the quantity

Was II Ghost of Brother?

Miss Isla Stewart, for 21 years ma
iron of st. Bartholomew's hospital,
London, recently told this story at a
public dinner given in her honor:
Some years ago, in one Of her wards,
lay little boy who was dying Of hip
disease. He was an orphan with only
one brother, sailor then serving
on British warship in Chinese wa
tiers. One morning the boy told her
that he had had such a happy night, as
he had dreamed that his brother was
with him at his bedside. When the
night nurse came to report she said
that she bad had a curious experience
When looking along the ward during
the night she had been astonished to
see sailor in the ward beside the
boys bed. Resenting the intrusion,
she had gone to the bed to inquire into
the matter, when she found there was
nobody there. Twice afterward DUR
ing the night she had seen the same
apparition. At last she turned down
the gas and altered the position of
some plants. After that she did not
see the sailor again.

JUST A womAr's LITTLE JOKE.
How 1t Led to a Suit at Law and
Serious Complications.

Mrs. Margaret Gatty, ono OF Brat
tleboro's wittiest society women,
planned and enacted joke; now she
Is the defendant in an action at law,
while the society of that Vermont city
Is awaiting with glee the outcome of
the affair, says the Boston Post.
1t all emanated from a bright idea"
conceived by Mrs. Gatty and a few Of
her society friends who had become
nrmly convinced that James Fl. Hook
er, attorney and wealthy clubman, was
working altogether too hard and need
ed little diversion to distract him
from the righteousness Of so busy a
summer.
one day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an amount
or work beside him that promised to
Keep him in his office into the wee
small hours Of the night, the telephone
at his elbow rang. s'..
Taking up the receiver Mr.. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice of Mrs. Gatty, one Of his ac-
qua1ntances. Mrs. Gatty appeared to
be greatly overwrought and explained
that d dreadful attempt had just been
made to swindle her out of a sum of
money, that the alleged swindler had
lett handbag behind, and would Mr.
HOOKER come up Immediately and open
me pag and discover, If possible, the
identity OF the guilty person.
The young lawyer hastily clapped
nd -
Gatty's fashionable residence.
He was ushered into the drawing
room and the bag was shown him.
Without further parley t. LAWYER
opened the bag and EXTRACTED a nice
yellow lemon. Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emanated from different
receSses of the drawing room he
bowed and withdrew, after declaring
gracefully that he felt that the case
was settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
"A little later Mrs. Gatty received a
Dill for services made out in the usual
form. Under the conviction that this
Dill was merely the humorous revenge
by Mr.. Hooker for the joke played
upon him the bill was pigeonholed.
Much to her CONSERVATION a sheriff

Accidental Deaths

A recent report of the department of
commerce and labor indicates that be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 worl1men lose
their lives in the course of their employ
ment in the United States each year,
says Bradstreet's. Census reports
covering. the years 1909 to 1906 show
that out of over 1O00,O00 deaths of
males more than 8 per cent were due to
accident, and IL large proportion of
these deaths were due to causes more
or less related to the occupations of
the injured persons. OF persons
employed in factories and workshops
probably the most exposed class
are the workers i'm iron and steel. In
miscellaneous steel and iron work in
Pennsylvania, for ten years, the fatal
accident rate was 4.3 per 1000, and
among nut and bolt workers 5.4 per
1000 The anthracite mines of Penn
sylvania have averaged 31S fatal
accidents per 1000 for the same period.
while the death rate from accident in
the British coal mines has been ONLY
1.29 per LOCO. The death rate among
railway train men, as shown by the
reports of the Interstate commnrco CON
mission, was TAG per 1000 employees.
The death rate among electricians is
exceptionally high. One of the matters
which should come in for discussion in
dealing with industrial accidents is Us
to the possibility of adopting regu' ativt
measures which will reduce the numbe,
and the seriousness of those mishaps

GOODWIN ON NEVADA.

In the Christmas number of Good
wins Weekly of Salt Lake City, Judge
G.. G.. Goodwin has the following to say
of Nevada's past, present and future:
Nevada has had Il pretty trying
year, this last one. When the flush
days passed by and the Comstock, Eu-
reka, Phoebe. Candclaria, Austin, Trea-
sure Hill and Tuscarora all gave out
the state lapsed into IN almost NOR
ibund condition for fifteen years. Then
came the discoveries of Tonopah, later
of Goldfield and of several other camps
and Ely made clear what it's tremendous
undeveloped wealth would p; obably
he, and the excitement returned to the
old state and the output of Goldfield
apparently craZcd the people. They
put all their money III stocks. The
stocks, under the labor difficulties and
under the too great depression Of Il
year ago, failed. and the men of Nevada
were about as badly broken as the
whole state ever was before.
That was the situation at the begin
ming Of the present year, and it has
been hard struggle, and sill immense
strides have been made. Three or
four new districts have made clear that
old prestige of Nevada ought to como
back, and the showing III Goldfield and
Rawhide and Seven Troughs ana Gold
Circle and many Other camps gives
almost certified assurance that i'll the
next year or two Nevada will be pro-
ducing more gold than any other state,
and her mining will exceed that of any
other state"
