avail to secure this bird, which is now in
the hands of local taxidermist
Mr.. Rossiter's party brought back with

sistence of half truths, says the

The fBu,ning of Chfldren.

While fatalities from burning are
but a minor fraction of the mortality
from preventable causes, they are
sufficiently numerous to warrant an
attempt to prevent them. This IS
especially true of death of children
from burning.
In this country there are few
available correct statistics on the
subject In England, however, 1t IS
dtfferent: there the statistics are
not only dependable, hut available
DR.. Brend has compiled and ana
Iyzed the data regarding deaths OF
children from burning. The results
are reprinted and commented on In
a recent issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association. From
the year 1906 to 1911 he found that
up to the age of Il there were IN 4
boys and .284 girls burned; from
to 4, there were 1858 boys and l.
81S girls: from 4 to 5, 36S boys ana
l7i75 girls; from to 10, i3S9 boys
and ,427 girls;S and from lO To q
80 boys and $50 girls
1t is at once evident that there IS
q marked difference between the
mortality of boys and girls. TINS
difference is probably due TO the
different type of clothing worn by
stihe two sexes. Up to a5out the ages
Sof 2 to g, boys and girls are dressed
alike. From g to A the boys put on
the simpler male attire and there i
an abrupt and marked fall in the
mortality from burning.
There has been much condemns
ton of the material known as fan
neIet, which is very infiammable
cloth, although from the figureS
quoted it would seem that it is not
so much the material as the style OF
clothing which leads to loss of life
For other reasons yas we'll, namely,
freedom of movement, better hygiene
and general cost of clothing, there
would seem to he a demand for a
further simplification of the manner
of dressing girls, particularly those
OF the younger ages.
