District Legis alton.

the Senate, the House, where objection

is ordinarily fatal was compe led TO az

1t is now understood that an agree
ment exists between the District SUD
chairman of appropriations, Mr.. Page,
and the District committee chairman, Mr.
Johnson, which will give early right OF
way, as far as these two are concerned,
to a sort OF District omnibus bill paving
the way for the essential changes OF mu-
nicipal administrati ton which the Commits
sioners favor and which receive the ap-
prevail of the committees. In view OF the
fact that serious delays may be encounter
ed in the passage of the preliminary lesis-
lative bill, 1t would seem to be much
better If an agreement could be reached
whereby the District bill is made immune
from objections on the score OF carrying
legislation, with direct cooperation be-
tween the two charmen in shaping up
the local budget far as it affects ad-
ministrative functions and improvement
projects. With such an agreement and
such cooperation, the Districts legisla-
ton can be attended to in one transac-
ton, greatly to the economy of the time
OF the House and with more assurance
of results.

The Conservation of Infant Life.

The meetings that have been held here
during the past few days by the Ameri-
can Association for the Study and Pre-
yention OF Infant Mortality have been
valuable in emphasizing the need OF d
wider scope OF inspection over the milk
supply Washington is particularly in
terested il this phase Of the food prob
lem, for Il is dependent almost exclusive
Is upon outside sources for its milk Its
own inspection system can go only to
the District boundaries as far as re- ula-
ton At the source is concerned 1t can
and does prohibit the importation and
sale II milk from suspected sources. but
its facilities for examining the field OF
possible milk supply are limited ard It
requires for . full measure of protection
cooperation on the part OF the adjoining
states from which the milk chiefly comes.
II Is, Of course to the interest OF Mary
land to maintain pure supply for its
own consumption. and in the same way
Virginia should protect itself b. main
tanning the closest possible scrutiny OF
the milk production industry The same
is true of every state. Gradually the
idea of high sanitary standards is de-
veloping. and the day is probably rapidly
approaching wnen all dairy products will
Dc subjected TO the most careful scrutiny.
Meanwhile education should progress, to
carry the word OF sanitation into all
quarters, not merely as regards the
specific purity OF milk. but for the in
struction OF parents In the feeding OF in
rants and their general safeguarding
from disease. An appalling number Of
infant lives are sacrificed annually
through ignorance and carelessness. Tie
work OF conserving humanity is the most
important that IS now undertaken by
those who are concerned in the welfare
OF the country, and gratifying progress
IS being made along this line through
,ae enactment and enforcement Of legis-
lation. the eradication OF slums, the pro-
vision OF sanitary dwellings and the en-
Eghtenment OF the people regarding food
values and disease dangers

Is the Race Dying Out +?
/, the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The question whether the human race,
or at any rate the White part OF it, is
diving out is seriously raised by European
statist clans not without apparent cause
Some time ago Germany used to sheer at
France as producing more collins than
cradles and, indeed, the birth rate in
France is olninously low and the ratio
between IL and the death rate is discour-
aging But pretty much all Europe is
in the same plight. in kind, If not in de-
gree. Nearly every important country
shows birth rate which is steadily de-
Ginning That IS true of France. Ger
many, Great Britain, Spain, Austria-Hun-
gary, Italy and Belgium.
