Saving the Babies.

The members of the National Con-
vention of Nurses were told the other
day by Miss Ella Phillips Crandall that
of the 100000 babies who die annually
in the United States one-third, or Ioo,-
900, might have been saved. If this
statement be true, it may fairly be as
suned that one-third of the deaths Of
babies in Washington is also prevent
able.
The health department has prepared
useful information for mothers regarding
the care of babies, especially during the
summer season. when the percentage of
fatalities is highest in the city. This
matter, unlike much of the official infor-
nation published, is quite ineligible,
plain, and easily understandable
But that information is practically use
less unless it finds its way by some good
means of distribution into the hands of
those who most need it The dissent
nation of advice as TO the care of the
baby is task that calls for the exer-
else of tact, as well as the possession
of helpful knowledge on the subject
If oficiously DONE resentment is sure
to result
What is now most needed is some
satisfactory arrangement whereby this
much-needed advice can reach the peo-
pie who want it and get to them in
a way that will insure its being taken
and acted upon. This is problem which
the health Office might very proftably
set itself to work to solve, for, unless
it be done, the preparation of the help
full matter which the authorities have
issued will not fulfill its mission with
proper effectiveness.

Object Lesson for a Same Fourth.


The observance of Memorial Day
throughout the country without the aid of
fireworks or firearms illustrates how the
Fourth may be celebrated similarly in
what we are now wont to call sane
fashion. Men, women, and children ell
joyed their outings, excursions, walks,
rides, visits to places of interest and
amusement, or in simple play, fully as
much as if they had spent the hours in
burning powder or injuring themselves
with unsafe frecrackers. In this con-
nection it is well to direct attention to
seventeen cities which last year, tried
the sane Fourth idea. Comparison with
statistics of casualties of 1907 showed a
reduction in the number of injuries re-
ported to be 65 per cent Nothing can
demonstrate better the amount of
misery and pain avoided and prevented
by the substitution of wholesome sports
and games for death-dealing weapons.
What is called Junior Declaration
of independence" has been placed in the
hands of the teachers of public, paro-
chial, and private schools in the cities
mentioned to be signed by the pupils.
1t recites the dangers of fireworks, and
pledges the signer to celebration which
is to be more rational This, of course,
is merely sentimental, yet the spirit of
it is calculated to influence children to
observe the day in sensible, sane way,
thus helping to wipe out the annual
casualty list.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
A MAD QUEEN.


One of the most pathetic char
acters in history is Juana, daugh-
ter OF Ferdinand and Isabella.
Her father was King of Aragon
and her mother Queen of CASTLE.
She was the third child and the
second daughter, but by the
deaths of her older brother and
sister she became heir to the Cas-
tiIian throne. She was married
to Archduke Philip. son of EN-
peror. Maximiiian of Austria. In
her young womanhood she be-
came mentally unbalanced and
was known as La Loca" (the
mad). Her mother died in 1904,
and she became Queen OF CASTLE.
Owing to her mental incapacity
her husband exercised the royal
power and administered the af-
fairs OF the kingdom. He died
two years later and she is said to
have kept watch over his coffin
for many days in the belief that
he would return to life. Shortly
afterward she was placed in the
castle Of Tordesillas. and never
knew liberty again, though she
survived nearly fifty years. Not
withstanding her insanity. she
takes high rank as a mother
Queen. for two of her sons be-
came holy Roman emperors. One
Of them. Charles V. was the
greatest European ruler Of the
sixteenth century.

MEMORIAL DAY IN PIERRE
Graves of Soldier Dead Were Garlanded
with Flags and Flowers.

Memorial day was duly observed
in the city; Pierre people turning out
en- masse for the occasion. Decorat-
ing of graves at the cemetery took
place in the morning, and in the at
ternoon the line of parade was form
ed at the court house, the Pierre band
leading, followed by Co. A., school
CHI city officials old soldiers.
and Relief Corps. The program fol-
lowed at the auditorium, consisting
of a selection by the male quartette,
reading of the general orders of the
commander in chief of the Grand
Army and Gettysburg address by
Jas. Sebree, and the address OF the
day by Hon. G. E. DeLand. A patri-
otto drill by the pupils of the Indian
school added greatly to the program.
There is beautiful feature of Decor
alton day that is becoming more observ-
ed as time goes on. 1t is the tendency
to Homecoming, so that families can
join in decorating the graves of their
mutually beloved. The widowed wife
comes to join the parents and brothers
and sisters of her lost one. Children
and grandchildren visit where the dead
lie sleeping and the Christening sorrow
of mingled generations hallows the
place and the day. When Gen. John
A. T,Ouan advocated settipp anart the
day as a national holiday he builded
better than he knew. When the last
relic of the civil war veterans shall
have fallen into the dreamless sleep,
the observation of this day will continue
TO mould character, to awaken thought
and ambition, and make better and
stronger the nation cemented by the
sacrifices OF generation fast vanishing
into the unseen.

5LABoR,s POSITION CLEAR

The California State Federation OF
Labor, through its executive council,
at a meeting held at San Francisco
on April %, adopted the following
resolution:
Whereas, John j McNamara, Sec
rotary Of the international Associa-
ton Of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers and other members OF that
organization, have been charged with
crimes so heinous and revolving for
the preparation of which no just
punishment could ever be melted out;
and
Whereas, in this state and nation
IN accused person is presumed to be
innocent until tried and found guilty
by q fair tribunal in due course of
law; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Executive Coun-
Gil Of the California State Federation
Of Labor in regular session assem-
bled April 8, 1911, that while we
deem it unnecessary to reiterate at
this time the incorporating attl-
tude Of Organized Labor as being OPP
posed to any and all acts of violence
whether committed by friends or en-
emies, we do most earnestly request
our friends and sy mpathizers to with
hold Judgment in this instance until
the accused have been tried.
The statement sets forth the attl-
tud0 Of the labor movement clearly
and emphatically. Nothing further
need be said either in exculpation OF
the labor movement itself or In as
surance Of the attitude Of the labor
movement itself in demanding that
the accused men be given q fair tri-
oil. The disposition of the press to

have spoken for the labor movement
