EPrices of meat are again threaten
ing to become prohibitive. Thus
far this year 10000 fewer cattle
have been marketed in Kansas City
than in the same period in 1913, the
receipts being the smallest of any
similar period in twenty years. The
decrease is attributed to the drouth
in the southwest last summer. Prices
are the highest ever known for this
month. The demand now, cattle
men and me at packers say, must be
supplied mostly from grass fed cat
tie. If August prices for corn-fat-
tened steers are much higher than
the July level as they were in 1912.
next month will see prime beeves
bringing 81 hundred pounds in
Kansas City. Beeves of the sort
mentioned sold in that city FRIDAY
at 1886.

Carranza has been informed that
he must conduct his triumph tenn
perately; that there ought to be no
excuses when the army takes con.
troll of Mexico City and other i'm
portant centers, that there should be
no revenges, but that an amnesty for
political offenders be declared and
the rights Of the clergy and other
foreigner who have suffered, especi-
ally the Spaniards, be given due re-
spect. Through John r. Silliman,
personal representative of President
Wilson. with Gen. Carranza, the
American government is rendering
its advice. To accept the sugges-
tons from Washington, il has been
pointed out, means recognition by
the powers of the whole world, a
circumstance which would enable the
new administration to rehabilitate
the financies of Mexico. Already the
fruits Of the American efforts TO
bring Carranza and Carbajal togeth-
er are apparent. Gen Carranza, ac-
cording 10 Mr.. Silliman reveals
friendliness to the American govern
ment and readiness to discuss peace

the direction of group of enterpris-
ing Dutch women, special display, on
the banks of the Amstel. to show the
evolution of the social and intellectual
position of woman since 1913. Feat
ures of the exhibition were contrast
ing middle class houses of 1913 and
of 1913. each with its kitchen, dining
room, bed rooms and furnishing COM
plete. Other departments showed
the change in the kind of product of

Europe Awake on Baby Question.
Inspecting the exhibition. under the
guidance of the honorary secretary,
Mrs. J. E. Van Buuren-Huys, no more
significant section was seen than that
devoted to child-life. In this was set
forth, by charts. maps, official reports.
and wax figures. the changed thought
Of the world. particularly of cont
mental Europe, regarding babies. Ap-
propriately was the exhibition held in
Holland, where the beloved Queen
Wilhelmina and her baby rule.
The baby has just now been on
cially discovered in Europe. As the
real maker Of tomorrow's world the
infant is being studied by the state.
The fact Is that you can not have a
farmer or a merchant or even q jour-
nalist without first saving baby. Ex-
cept Adam and Eve, and Minerva, the
goddess-professor, 1t seems clear
enough now that the origin of adults
must be traced back to babies. II

The reports of European congresses

ing Conference were displayed in pop.
ular form. The effect Of the crowded
conditions of city life upon infants
was suggested by chart and picture.
Figures furnished by John Burns, Brit
ish Minister Of Health, were shown.
Mr.. Burns figures contrasted the per-
centages Of infant mortality in con-
gested and open districts, in districts
where mothers worked and neglected
their children with others more "a
vored. In Hampstead. London, the
rate Of infant mortality was II per
thousand; in Shoreditch. az the other
and more crowded end of London, the
infant mortality was las per thousand.
In Lancashire, where women 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.
Doctors are more successful at saw
ing their own babies to become
adults. Mr. Burns found that doctors
babies died at the rate of only 40 per
thousand, while In the case of the I'D
per and middle classes of Great Brit
ain the rate was n, in the case of
artisans 100 to 100. in the case Of
miners 100, in the case of unskilled
laborers $50 to $50. and in the case of
farm workmen, despite their brutally
low wages, only 81 per thousand. The
Burns figures are duplicated from
practically every other country.
