Shocking Death Rate

Necessity for More Minute Study Of the
Causes of Infant Mortality Taking
the infant mortality for 1908, reported
by the United States census bureau.
DR.. Fulton said: THE total deaths in
the registration area under the age
or one year numbered 136,4S2 The
causes Of earliest death are prema-
turity, malformation, injuries sustained
at birth and syphilis. These agents
destroyed 47,271 infants. Living births

one by Edward BunneH Phelps. of New

statistical tables and graphic charts,
Mr. Phelps demonstrated the world
wide prevalence Of an appalling rate
of infant mortality, approximately av-
eraging about 40 deaths to each 1000
living births in all civilized countries.
He showed that there can be little
doubt that the infant death rate In this
country has undergone at least a
slight decrease in the last decade De-
spite the probable fact as official re-
turns for the city of New York and
the state of Connecticut demonstrate,
in the third quarter of the current
year, the infant death rate of 169 per

of New York, was precisely the same

Because of the theft of Millet's
place in the park museum an ex-
hibition of all of the old masters

which WIS to have been held
shortly at one of the local gal
Ieries, was yesterday called off
indefinitely. Those who possess
valuable paintings do not care TO
run the risk of exposing them
and the local galleries are not
Overanxious to undertake the re-
sponsibility.
Among the owners of one or two
famous originals are Mrs. Will
liam Crocker, who ranks Millet's
'The Man With the Hoe" valued
at a fabulous price, among her
greatest possessions; John ZeiIe,
who owns "Christ in Gethsem-
ane"; Colonel Isaac Trumbo, who
has one or two originals of
CorOt, and Captain u. o. c. Ord,
who owns an original MurilIO,
valued in the neighborhood of
$4,000. All of these paintings
are kept in safety deposit vaults.
Others who can boast of some
originals are DIR. Harry Tevfs,
Frederick Greenwood, Alexander
Russell and Sigmund Stern, while

as also have the Piedmont gal

had not been derelict in guarding the
works of art
The Millet painting is more interest
ing and valuable historically than
artistically, although it was one of the
works with which he started his ca
reer- t. H. Rabjohn, the art dealer
and connoisseur told yesterday of it's
position in art. He said:
The Millet painting in the Miss
Sarah NJ. Spooner collection. was one Of
Millets earlier works 1t was orig
inally drawn in pencil, but afterward
Millet went over his sketch with oils.
and the marks of the pencil showed
through the later medium. The draw
ing was crude, but the coloring in the
picture was true
It's date is approximately in the year
1882. While the painting may not be
great example of Millet's genius, still
it has a surprising value owing to the
fame of its creator and the place 1t
holds in the historical development of
his work.
DIFFICULT TO DISPOSE OF
1T will be very difficult to dispose of
the painting" SAID another art dealer,
because every Millet which is now Of
fered for sale will be scanned with the
greatest concern by purchasers. 1t
would seem that the painting was
stolen to satisfy personal gratifica-
tion. This crime should teach the
park commissioners and the curators
of all galleries a lesson. They should
have every work of art in their pos
session photographed, SO that in the
event of theft it will be easy to iden-
tify the picture if a clew is obtained as
to it's whereabouts
