Mr Lucas said that 1t was originally

Of it will probably be fresh to- most
readers A friend had driven him
from Plymouth to visit an old lady
who stood In no awe of the poet. The
visitors were invited to remain for

old lady bridled up That she could

SAVING THE ITALIAN BABIES
Maternity Insurance In That coun.
try Has Greatly Reduced Infant
Mortality.

Italy joined in 1909 the few Euro
pean states which have established
laws for the better protection Of wo-
men working in industrial occupations
after confinement. This law prohib-
tied women from working for month
after confinement, but contained no
provisions about the collecting Of
funds from which the expenses could
be betrayed. For this reason regu-
lations were generally disregardcd,
and women went back to work as soon
as they were able to do so.
At the end Of April. 1912, a new'law
came into force. All women In indus
tries between fifteen and fifty years
Of age belong now to an obligatory
maternity insurance fund. The en-
ployer pays the dues Of 20 to 40 cents
a year. and fs allowed to deduct half
the amount from the wages. These
dues. together with fines Of employees
for violation Of the law and govern
ment subsidy, makes It ppssible to
give In case Of confinement IS. It
does not make any difference whether
the woman is married or not. Mother
and child are thus taken Of for at least
one month after the birth Of the In
FAINT. The Italian law requires, furth-
er, that q factory with more than
fifty women workers must provide \
decent room In which mothers can at
tend to their babies and nurse them.
Frequently, large factories have a kind
OF day nursery with q trained nurse In
charge. Infant mortality has been
greatly reduced among industrial
