In this ratio, the figures show a saw
ing of SS4 babies and an actual saving
of 764. An analysis of the report con-
tanning these figures indicates that the
Improvement in the saving of baby life
was not due to luck or weather condi-
lions, but to the campaign which has
been carried on against baby diseases.
As a result New York now feels en-
titled to claim that among large mu-
inequalities it is the most desirable
destination for the stork, at least so
far as a chance for life for the baby
goes.

within a few hours was taken wealth

not uncover any store Of treasure hid

caused the seas TO wash up on the
beach all sorts of jewelry which had
been lost in the vicinity by careless

The first find In the shape OF a VaIu-
able gold watch had hardly been made
before word Of it spread abroad, and
within a few hours thousands OF per
sons were cOm0ing the sands in search
of treasure. That their search was
productive OF much wealth is shown by
a partial tabulation Of their findings
which included a dozen gold watches,
IL rings set with either diamonds, Fu-
bies or emeralds, 81 stick pins, A
bracelets, numerous neck chains nearly
$500 in currency, and garter buckles,
sleeve links, watch fobs and other jew

yielded up posts, pans and Kettles al

Whatever other vicissitudes it may
have passed through during the past
year, New York found 1872 a banner
year for babies. Not only were more
infants born during the past L months,
but a smaIIer. percentage Of them died
than ever before. Indeed the figures
covering infant mortality constitute the
most remarkable feature Of the citys

death rate was reduced during the year
from 1913 percent to AL percent, or
a little more than / percent the rate
for infants under one year was reduced
6 percent There were during the year
