There was one disappointment for
those who attended the wedding, for
the gifts were not put on display. It
Is known that these included many
beautiful and valuable articles sent
by relatives and personal friends Of
the bride and groom and of their fam
lilies and by admirers Of President
Wilson. Handsome. presents were
sent by both the senate and the house,
that Of the latter being a diamond la
valliere which Miss Genevieve Clark,
daughter Of the speaker, bought for
the representatives in New York.
Guests Limited to 400.
Those who were invited to witness
the wedding were mostly personal
friends and the number was kept down
close to four hundred. The list was
pared and revised several times, and
as has been said, the operation result
ed in many heartburnings. From the
house of representatives circle, for
instance, the only guests were Speaker
Champ Clark, Mrs Clark and Miss
Geneyieve Clark, Marjory Leader I'm
derwood and Mrs. Underwood, and
Minority Leader Mann and Mrs. Mann.
AS might be expected, the streets
outside the White House were as
crowded as the police would permit
with curious persons eager to watch
the arrival and departure Of the guests

There are charity societies, as all
the world knows, that only give to the
poor quarter or a half cent Of every
dollar they take in, most Of their sub
scriptions going for salaries TO Off
GERS and investigators for expensive

Richard March, the charity expert
of Denver, Colo, was condemning
these charities. He said:
IA mans wife shouted up to him
the other day;
Don't you think this blue over

GOVERNMENT To
HELP PROTECT
BABIES
Bulletins Issued Show Hygiene
for Children and Advocate
Municipal Assistance.

WASHINGTON. June 19.-What
| the American cities are doing and can
do toward preventing infant mortal
| ity and the high death rate of chill
dren under years of age is the sub
ject of a bulletin just issued by the
children's bureau. 1t is the purpose
of this Government bureau to issue
a similar bulletin annually and in
time to make il a complete manual
for municipal and philanthropic ac-
tivities in the direction Of child well
fare.
Babies die of diseases which TO a
large extent are, preventable. In GER
tain large cities such as New York
and Philadelphia the result of syste-
matte summer baby saving cam
paigns has been shown in a reduc-
ton Of between 80 and 40 per cent in
the deaths of children under years
Of age in the wards where the work
was concentrated.
1t is estimated that a baby nursed
by it's mother has approximately ten
times the chances to live that a bot
tie fed baby has. All welfare work
ers encourage mothers to carry out
this most important material duty.
A constantly increasing number of
cities of all sizes are establishing
milk stations and dispensing milk,
/ whether pure whole milk, certified.
| modified, pasteurized or sterilized
milk, to mothers Of babies that must
/ be bottled
Municipalities are Just beginning to
| awaken to the importance of prena-
tai care and to understand that much
/ of the waste of infant life Is due to
| causes that were operative before the
| baby was born. Some cities have a
special maternity nurse who gives all
/ her time to these cases; other cities
direct the general nurses to take
charge Of them.
The value Of training school girls
who are caretakers of little children
in the care of babies is regarded as
Of immense Importance, the organi-
I cation OF the Little Mother
| Leagues" or Little Mother Classes"
| forms an important part of the well
fare work in most large cities.
The house fly as a death distribu-
| tor, the bulletin points out is only
recently receiving the attention it de-
| serves. Flies carry infection not only
to exposed milk but directly to the
| baby's mouth, or to the nipple of it's
| bottle. Insistence upon screens for the
| baby's rooms and for the baby's bed
| is a part Of the campaign against
/ infant mortality: and the work
should go even further than this and
/ should include the destruction of flies
/ by every known method and removal
/ of the breeding places.
Attention to housing conditions, to
| the thorough watering of the streets,
and to the question of fresh air and
I ventilation is urged.
In conclusion the bulletin advises
| the city health officials to establish
a continuous graphic statement of
| the births and deaths of babies, kept
by means of different colored pine to
be placed day by day on a city ward
map, and to thus keep informed as
| to the special points of dangers; and
urges prompt registration of births in
order that the baby may be brought
under observation as soon as posi-
