MIR. Burns figures contrasted the per-

where mothers worked and neglected

In Lancashire. where worked
in factories and where many children
were therefore uncared for. the infant
mortality was exceedingly high. three
or four times the rate in districts
where women of the same class did
not work. With such facts European
governments are studying plans
whereby mothers should be mothers
and not machines.
