ITO Protect the Babies
Inspect Their Homes
DR.. Helen c. Putnam, One of Specialists on In
FAINT Mortality to Attend Conference, Ad-
pocates Nep Health Department Service

Sanitary inspection of homes by the
Health Department. similar to the in
spection of lunch-rooms, markets, and
dairies, is advocated by DR.. Helen c. FUt-
nam, chairman Of one OF the conferences
at the fourth annual meeting OF the Asso-
citation for Study and Prevention of Infant
Mortality, which opens here today.
Such inspection of private homes, espe-
cially Of the slums, has been maintained
in England for a long time. DR.. Putnam
explained at the New Ebbitt last night
The establishment of a like inspection
service m the American municipalities
DR.. Putnam believes, would go a long
way toward lowering the infant death
rate.
Much infant mortality is caused by
the unhealthy surroundings in which
the children are kept. In the unclean
home, where the baby breathes street
dust, where water is allowed to stand
and stagnate, where rubbish is ex-
posed, where flies are free to congre-
gate in summer, where ventilation is
insufficient and the baby's foods are
improperly stored; in such a home the
chance that a baby will live to be more
than one year old Is small"
DR.. Putnam is an authority on the
question of the prevention of infant
mortality. She has made especial study
of the field that remains to the schools
in the training of mothers in rearing

brought by the former Nina Chinn, of

INTENDED TO MURDER
HER, SAYS MRS RoWZEE
Wife of Rogerson's Slayer Tells Coro-
ner's Jury of Alleged
Confession.

Mrs. Ezma Rowzee, wife of Clarence
Rowzee, who early Sunday morning
shot and killed Joseph d. Rogerson at
l405 New York Avenue Northwest, told
the coroner's jury sitting in inquest
yesterday that her spouse confessed to
her Tuesday afternoon at Emergency
Hospital that he came to Washington
with the intention of numbering her.
According to Mrs. Rowzee, he said
that when he failed to find her in her
apartments at 935 II Street Northwest
he went to Rogerson's cafe in hopes of
finding her there eating breakfast. But
instead of killing her he suddenly took
a notion to murder Rogerson- She said
he told her Rogerson was standing
behind the counter in his place of bust-
ness reading a newspaper, according
to the confession related by Mrs. Row
zee, when he was shot. Then RowZee
climbed up on the counter and shot
the PROSTATE form lying on the floor
two more times.
The coroneTs jury decided to hold
Rowzee for the action of the grand
Jury. Coroner Nevitt nor any of his
jurymen seemed to doubt the alleged
confession.

Mir. Taxpayer, Note That Streak Of
 Cheap Macadam On Fairfield Ave. It
 Is The Sign Of The Double Machine

The pavement which will extend from the rail road viaduct Fairfield is the form of dtumnous crete which is sold under the Warrenite' It is probably good any other pavement of the tye and no better.
 The fact remains that in the performance of this the city has not had the benefit of competition and open market Consequently theci pays too much for what it is getting-s@- z
 A loaf of bread may be good ton of coal may burn well another ton It does not injure the quality of commodity to pay more than it is worth.
 The ordinarily prudent wants a good article at the LOWEST MARKET PRICE The lowest market price, such is human nature, is seldom obtained where competition is excluded.
 The process by which the city has engaged in the pavement of Fairfield seems to be illegal and justifable.
 It no defense to say that the pavement that has been laid is a good pavement.
 The city has right to good pavement at the lowest market price The city also has the right to have its laws obeyed.
 We may add that the pavement isn't good pave men the Connecticut company has been from it's obligation to lay good pavement; just good the city laid
 Through the shining stretch of hard bit1rninous crete streak two trolley tracks wide of the familiar bound macaam to distribute dust to hasten the decay of the better pavement and to stand shining example of the disadvantages of government by double machine fat.
 It's fine and fat for the Connecticut company to be excused from laying costly pavement It's sad and lean for the taxpayers, however. Double machine government is always like that. It provides nice, rich fat picngs for the powerful and good lead diet for the plain people whose chief function to pay the bills.
