LlVE-SAVING EQUIPMENTS.
Write Star Director Disputes Useful
ness Of Recently Demand.
~ Addi$iana


LONDON, June 13.-The disaster to
the steamship Titanic has done little
to alter the views of Harold A. San"
derson, director of the White Star
Line, as to the sufiiciency for all prac'
tical purposes OF the present equip
ment Of transatlantic steamships.
He was recalled oy the Wreck Com"
missioner and disputed the usefulness
of additional lifeboats, of searchl1gh .
binoculars, and larger crews OF sea-
men, but he added:
"T There is popular CRY for btnocu'
lars and extra boats, and we want to
satisfy it. There are certain risks
coming from the sea which 1t Is I'M
possible to eliminate, just. as they are
on land
The witness emphasized the fact
that. small boats we're carried only
for the purpose of transferring per-
sons from ship to ship or from ship to
land, and said that If more seamen
were carried in order to man addi'
tional boats they would have nothing
to do until there was wreck. Search
lights. he declared, would be "worse
than useless. They would be a posi-
tive source of danger. The worst
thing possible for lookout Is the
glare OF light"
Questioned regarding the space CIV
en- up for the accommodation of veal
thy passengers, Sanderson replied:
IF there were anything more that
we could do to insure the safety OF
passengers, the millionaires' suites
would not stapd in the way
He attributed the greater loss Of
life among the third-class passengers
of the Titanic to the fact that the best
position for launching the boats hap
pened to be nearest the first and Sec
ond-class quarters.
Mr.. Sanderson said that sixty boats
would he required to accommodate
all the passengers and crew Of the
Titanic "Such a number" he added,
would be ridiculous, and I do not
think it would e possible It would
make the ship tender. In the inter-
ests of public safety, consider that
it is not necessary and not wise that
there should be boatage accommoda-
ton for every passenger and member
Of the crew"

unjust proportion OF the taxes imposed

DR.. Willis Baer, president OF Occi-
dental College, argued in favor OF the
exemption OF colleges and universities
from taxation, pointing out that Cali
fornia is the only state that does not
make such exemption.
j. w. Ferree, president OF the State
Beekeepers' Association, called atten-
ton to the necessity for more rigid
inspection of apiaries, owing to the
spread Of the European foul brood,
and asked that state commission be
created for this purpose.
a request by Francis Cutie Of Riv-
erside, a member OF the state con-
servation commission. for the enact
ment Of a low governing the use Of
waters in running streams, gave rise
TO an interesting discussion. Mr.. Cut
tie pointed out that appropriations fire.
quently are filed on streams that cover
many times the actual amount of wa
ter that is available. and thought some
action should be taken against filings
that are made for purely speculative
purposes.
George r. Freeman of Corona, rep
resenting the mutual water companies
and individual users. strongly opposed
the proposition made by Mr.. Cutie,
declaring that water users now have
all the rights that the proposed bill
would give them, and that the enact
ment of such measure would merely
put them to greater expense to attain
the same ends. Byron Waters Of San
Bernardino also spoke in opposition to
the bill, declaring it to be in line
with a bureaucratic form OF govern
ment.
w. C. Petchner argued in favor OF
the proposed measure, and declared
that there was some other purpose
behind the objections to it than
mere desire to protect the small users
Of water.
Dr.. F. B. Kellogg and Dr.. John r.
Haynes urged the extension of the
civil service to state employees of all

pointed out the necessity for the ere

TAKES STEPS TO SAVE
LIVES OF MANY BABES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--The fed
eral government, which has been for
years providing for the welfare of cat
tie. hogs, potato plants and sugar beets
IS at last actually coming to the res
cue Of the babies.
beginning Immediately after Christ
mas, the neWIy created childrens bur
eau Of the department Of commerce
and labor, Of which Miss Julia Lathrop
Of Chicago is the chief, will begin
campaign to save the lives Of babies
under 1 year Of age.
This will be the first inquiry under
taken by the bureau. Investigators
will go into typical communities In
every section OF the country and make
house to house canvass.
THE purpose Of the inquiry is to
md out why the babies live and why
they die" said Miss Lawrence. "Of the
800, 900 babies under 1 year OF age
dying annually in the United States.
al least $50, 900 could be saved by the
application Of methods with which we
are already as a people well acquainted.
The death rate for the total pOpu-
lation is slowly but surely declining.
Adults are living on the average longer
lives. but the death rate for babies less
than year old is not declining.
The estimate of DR.. Grossly L. Will
bur of the United States census bureau
that at least 100000 babies die annu-
ally in the United States means that
one baby out Of every eight dies before
ii is a year old
I'm certain unfavorable localities this
rate is much greater. Babies in poor
Imperial Valley press., 1912-12-23

neighborhOods IN an American city for
which flgureS are available die at the
rate OF 315 per 1000 babies under
year of age, while the correspondents
rate for babies in the good residence
quarters OF the same city is l56. The
New Zealand death rate for babies is
but 6S per 1000 borths. The inquiry
is to begin at the birth of the child
and follow il through its first year.
THE schedule has been very care
fully prepared to cover the questions
of housing, feeding and care OF the
child, the milk supply, industrial and
economic condition of the parents and
sanitary conditions Of the neighborhood
in fact, the hygienic surroundings Of
the child.
1.-The method Of this inquiry will
necessarily be one Of visits to parents
by the women experts Of the bureau
1t will be seen that this is an abso-
lutely democratic inquiry, involving as
it does. visits to every mother Of baby
born within given period Of time. It
seeks TO discover the favorable condi.
tons concerning children who survive,
and it is believed that its whole pur-
pose is such as to enlist the good will
OF the mothers of the country who
will welcome an opportunity to coop
crate with the government in trying
to save infants lives. The bureau has
already received most cordial assur-
ances Of sympathy and cooperation
from mothers and health authorities in
various parts Of the country.
AT first smaller towns outside the
large urban areas will be chosen so
that each city can be a complete study
in itself, comparable with the latter
studies and furnishing types Of varying
social and industrial conditions.
"All the cities in which this inquiry
Will be carried on have not yet been
selected. 1t is certain, however, that
at present cities can only be studies
which are in that portion Of the coun-
try designated as the birth registration
area. that is. the New England stale.
Pennsylvania and Michigan These are
the only states recognized by the cen
sus bureau as having records Of births
that can be used for statistical pur-
poses. and this inquiry depends upon
using the birth records"

senting the Teachers Club Of Los An

lalion for school teachers. declared
that a mothers pension law would go
far toward making it unnecessary for
little children to work and would per-
nit them to remain in school, where
they belong. She said that the Teach
ers' Club heartily indorsed a law OF
this kind or any other than tended
toward the protection Of children and
their dependent mothers.
Dr.. Amelia Gates, representing the
advisory board of the state school at
Whittier and also the Friday Morning
Club, urged the establishment Of /
state school for girls that should be
entirely separated from the boys
school and would be managed by a
woman superintendent. She suggested
that the legislature provide for at
least 100 acres Of grounds and that
the school be built on the cottage plan.
