HOPES To REDUCE
INFANT MORTALITY
This Is One Result Aimed At BY
Health Board in Planning
Milk Exhibit.

Our purpose In arranging to give
Detroit q milk exhibit" said DR.. w.
H. Price, chief inspector for the board
of health, relative to the coming ex-
hibit referred to in The Times, Mon
day, lis to bring about conditions
which will reduce the infant mortality
and teach people how to care for milk
after IL is delivered to them. Now.
adays many people allow bottles OF
milk to remain out OH the doorstep
after the milkman leaves them, and
we know that lots of people are care
less about caring for the milk when
it is placed In the ice box. The milk
bottle Is often placed among all sorts
of things there.
I'VE know that the infant mortal
ity In Detroit has been reduced a
great deal during the past ten years,
but there is still much room for I'M
provement Statistics show that there
were 74S fewer deaths among infants
In Detroit In 1909, in proportion to
the population, than I'm 1900. That
goes to show that there has been
some improvement in the care or food
given children. / think much OF the
Improvement is due to the advance
which medical science has made in
those ten years. However, there Is
no doubt, too, that diaries are more
sanitary now than they used to be.
They are not yet perfect. however,
and 1t Is perfection which we are try
ing to bring about.
I'VE hope that the milk exhibit will
have the desired result. We have
sent out circulars to about 1900 farm
ers requesting them TO send samples
OF milk and cream to the exhibition
and we confidently expect the major
ity of them to respond There are
to be three prizes. each one certifi-
cate issued by the dairy division or
the United States department OF agri-
culture. II any one of the prize win
ners should happen to be one or those
who supply the Towar Creamery Co.
with milk he will receive special
reward OF SO from that concern.
Those who are near the winners VIII
be given honorable mention. The
samples will be inspected and an
alyzed by Ivan c. Weld, Of the dairy
division of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, and they Will be
placed OIL eNnIDltiOn III a SVhoPiNoc"S
place, where the public will nave
every opportunity to view them. Each
bottle will be labeled. showing the
result OF the test.
I'm addition to the exhibition. Mr..
weld will give lecture. illustrated
with stereopticon pictures. on dairy
sanitation or some subject OF the
kind. Health Oficer Kiefer, Mr.. LILY,
Of the state agriculture department
and Mr.. Evans. Of Chicago. dairy
expert, will also be among the speak
ers in all probability"
The exhibits are to be in on Sept
10. but the display Will not be open
to the public until Sept. 70 and "a
AS vet Il has not been decided where
the exhibition shall be held, but IL
will likely be in the Wayne casino. or
in the Light Guard armory, as stated
IN The Times on Monday.

NEW YORK, Sept 13.-Down at

has already raised It's bony shoulders
above the surrounding sky-scrapers,
and ant-like workers are daily exhib-

These intrepid structural iron work
ers are as nonchalantly contemptuous
OF danger at 80 stories as they ale

p;fched In rows along the girders,
looking from below all the world like
sparrows. They are eating their
lunches. They haven't time to visit
mother earth for food at the noon
hour.
Sometimes you see one sitting care
lessly on the very end of protrud-
ing beam, his feet swinging idly eff
the sides, open dinner bucket wedged
in between his knees. He drops a
crumb: 1t has a sheer fall of $50 feet
before 1t spatters on the pavement
below.
If the day is warm he losses his
bucket to someone inside the huge
frame, and then, stretching himself
out along the beam for a pull at his
pipe. he stares into the blue depth
OF the sky. His hand bangles lazily
over terrifying abyss.
Presently the air whistle blows and

Sometimes, when the cowboy OF the

he bothers not with ladders, but steps
on the hook OF the crane used FOR

arm carelessly around the chain. The
electric bell rings and the chain
swings him out over the squat city
like a ball on the end of a string. The
