BIG ROTARY PL0W
is ASSIGNED HERE

One of the largest rotary snow
plows in the world is to be assigned
to the mountain division of the wv
X. d y. between La eirande and Pen
dleton. according to advices received
here.
The plow which has been in use for
such work was found to be too small
and did not alays develop the neces-
sary power to remove large heaps OF
snow from the tracks. The old V
shaped pow which preceded the ro-
tary was of little use in these sections
and the rotary was introduced. The
new rotary will throw the snow away
from the track with great force and
make shoveling unnecessary
1t is said the idea of the rotary
plow originated in the mind of a
pumper at Telocaset. He took the idea
from the windmill. Men of means
took up the thought. experimental
with it and evolved the present high
power. efficient machine. But the
humble pumper got little or no credit
for the invention.
The new machine will be practi-
cally like the old rotary which has
been in use here but will be much
larger and more powerful and has
the clearing attachment. 1t is being
shipped from the east and should be
here in a few days.

CHILDRENS BUREAU BEGINS ITS
CAMPAIGN TO SAVE THE BABIES

be saved. The aim will be to reduce
the rates to those lowest terms, OF
which at present New Zealand Is the
best example. Hence the Childrens
Bureau has taken the position that
it is fundamental to the work that it
is ordered by law to perform To en-
deavor to show why babies perish in
such numbers.
The inquiry will have some new
features. 1t will be the first inten-
sive houseto-house inquiry conduct
ed by the United States government
that is based upon birth records faith
er than upon death records. Its
method will be to secure list of all
the children born within a given year
in the communities under considera-
ton and to trace each child through
its first year of life, if it survives 50
long
The schedule mas been carefully
prepared to cover the questions of
housing, feeding and care of the
child the milk supply, industrial and
economic condition of the parents.
sanitary conditions of the neighbor-
hood. etc. in fact, the hygienic sur
rounfings of the child.
The method of this INJURY will ne
cessarily be that 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 1t does. visits to every mother of
baby born within a given period of
time. II seeks to discover the favor
able conditions concerning children
who survive and il is believed that it's
whole purpose is such as to enlist the
good will of the mothers of the coun-
try. who will welcome an opportunity
to cooperate with the government in
trying TO save infants lives. The
value OF the field work done by the
agents must necessarily depend upon
the cordial cooperation given them
by ali mothers in the communities
which they study. The bureau has al
ready 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. q
that each city can be a complete
study in itself, comparable with later
studies and furnishing types OF vary

The postal authorities have giveR
the assurance that the preparations
are now practically completed, but
they realize that the lack of previous
experience as to its operations, it
may develop at first many defects
and short comings which will have to
be gradually corrected. The public
is expected to be patient and to give
the postal department reasonable
time to perfect the working of the
plan in all its details.
The importance of the new ser
vice can scarcely be adequately esti-
mated at the present time. II con-

livery by the postal service Of the

statistics in. Europe and America
have recently called attention to the
astounding loss of infant life and to
the importance of making careful in
quiries into it's causes. The death
rate for the total population is slowly
hut surely declining; that is. adults
are living on the average longer lives
but the death rate for babies less
than one year old is not declining

man. this is the broad fact which
constitutes the problem to be consid-

DR.. Cressy l.. Wilbur. chief statis-
tician for vital statistics Of the Unit

that at least 800, 900 babies die annu-
ally in the United States, which means
that one baby out of every eight dies
before II Is year old
In certain unfavorable localities this
ratte is much greater. Babies in
poor neighborhoods in an American
city. for which figures are available

The difference between the infant

who die under one year of age could

New Service Can Scarcely BE Esti-
mated at the Present Time.

Washington. Dec. 31-The inaug-
uratlon OF the parcels post plan in the
United States on Wednesday will
mark one of the most important
epochs in the development of the Am
erlcan postal service. The last pre-
Vlous step of importance was taken
when the rural free delivery became
a fact. Since then the demand for
the Introduction of parcels post sys-
TEN in the United States became so
urgent that congress finally, notwith-
standing the most strenuous opposi-
ion from certain interested quarters.
yielded to the wishes of the people
and enacted parcels post law.
The framing of the law was not
an easy matter. as the whole scheme
was in the nature of an experiment
upon a tremendous scale. II is true.
the trainers of the law had for their
guidance the laws and regulations Of
number of foreign countries where
the parcels post has been in success
ful operation for many years, but the
conditions Of the postal service in the
United States are so radically differ
tlll liOIi AIlOst VI iilt pOSldl StTVlCp
in other countries that 1t was not an
easy matter to adapt their laws to
American conditions and require
ments.
Law Finally Passed.
At last the law was drafted, sub
mitted to congress and passed and
January l. 1913. was fixed as the
date for its going into effect. The
many radical changes in the postal
service necesstated by the require
ments of the parcels post system i'm
posed a tremendous burden of work
upon the postal authorities and dur
ing the last three months several of
the departments worked practically
day and night to complete the prep
arations for the Inauguration of the
new service.
An entirely new series OF stamps
for the exclusive use of the parcels
post service had to be designed, en-
graved, printed and distributed; new
scales, with a capacity of IL pounds,
to meet the requirements of the new
weight limit, had to be contracted for,
manufactured and sent to the vari-
Gus postoffices in the country; maps
showing the zones into which the
country has been divided for the pur-
pose of fixing n graduated distance
rate. and books containing the vari-
GUS regulations and rules governing
the new branch OF the postal service
had to be printed and distributed
among the thousands of postoffices
throughout the country. In addition
to all these special provisions as to
