DUE TO MATERNAL CARE

children under 8 years old who are
born in tins city Of native parents die
more quickly thar children whose par
ents are foreigners. according to figures
for 1914 made public yesterday by the
Health Department. The compilation.
which was made under the direction OF
Or. William II. GuilSoy. registrar Of rec
ords, shows that out of every 1000 chill
dren OF native white parentage forty
four boys and thirty-ive girls do not
reach their fifth year. whereas on the
sane basis thirty-nine boys and thirty
two girls who are the offspring Of for
eigners die In early childhood.
TIT infant mortality figures for the
native population are swelied TO a
greater dS%proportion when he records
for negro children are considered.
Among this class liz male babies and

Coroner Ernest X. Wagner and Dis.
trict Attorney James G.. Cropsey. who
are investigating the Williamsburg fac
tory fire, learned yesterday at the Coro-
ner's inquest hat the card which oon-
tains a complete record Of the steps
sion to enforce Its f%reprooing orders Is
missing. The missing card raised a d.
rect issue Of veracity between the COM
mission and Inspector George A. Rose
Quist, who was suspended for failure to
report promptly that the owners Of the
Diamond Building had not complied
with orders.
Rosequist testified that on March 90
he returned the card to the commission
for reference to counsel Of the fireproof-
ing order to Diamond, dated January Z
hat he received II back again for an
other inspection visit to the factory Just
prior to August 20. and on that date
again referred the wner's non-compli-
ance to the commissions counsel, Fred
erick II. Cunningham. for prosecution.
When the commissioners suspended
Rosequist and his supervisor. Charles Il.
Ash. a few days ago they rave as their
reason the fact that Rosequist had held
the card until August 20. Mr.. Cunning
ham notified Diamond on September II
that prosecution would begin on Septem-
Der %. Commissioner James NJ. Lynch
told Mr.. Cropsey. however, that the
missing card had been traced to coun-
sells office, where all track Of It wai
lost.
Furthermore. said Mr.. Lynch. the
card should be In Rosequist's possession
because %counsel's book shows that II
was returned to the inspector. Mr.. Gun.
ningham promised to produce tho book
RoseQuist said he never got the card
back again after August 20. His su.
pervisor. Ash. could not recall getting II
and hence apparently there Is no evi.
dence to show that Rosequist did refei
the order 10 counsel after his Marct
visit. Mr.. Lynch said the search for tn,
card was most complete. but futile.

 "Geoffrey, I have no claims, no rights, but I am a woman in love. Have pity. You're the only man who's ever treated me fair, and now you're turning out just like all the rest. Don't lay it on your conscience that you raised me up and me down. Don't send me back to the old life.

No letters to be sent on, Then thought-perhaps it wouldn't be quite fair to you to leave you that way, without giving you the choice, if I really have, as you say have, been of some use in helping you pull yourself together Gut I guess you can get along without me TOW; so let it be whatever is best for you, and you needn't worry apout me.

That was how happened to come across the marriage service. It seemed as if it opened my eyes.

DALV|NE THE "HYP" AT THE MAJESTIC Noted Hypnotist Engaged by Managed Rettick for
 the Week

Manager Carl Rettick of the Majestic tion at this popular playhouse Dalvine premier hypnotist of the world.
 In making this announcement, Manager Rettick believes that he will offer an at traction that. will prove generally pleas ing Dalvine stands at the top of his profession, and is known the world over as the man of mystery. Everywhere he has been they are talking about him and he IS said to produce one of the best hyp- notic exhibitions ever seen. He is now on a successful southern tour and in all cities where he has appeared he has won high praise and the press has been un- usually strong in it's indorsement of his entertainment.
 ist has appeared in Birmingham, and it is anticipated that large houses will greet this weeks attraction at the Majestic. Dalvine has scored wonderful successes in Europe as we'll as in America, and is known as the European master of hyp- notic art
 Dalvine carries company of enter tainers with him and some of the stunts are very comical. One of the big features of the work of Dalvine will be putting lady to sleep and keeping her asleep several hours. She will be put to sleep on the stage one night and will be placed in a downtown show window and will be awakened on the stage the following night
 Another spectacular piece of work to be done by the wonderful hypnotst while in Birmingham will be the finding of the hidden key. A committee of citizens will hide the key, the place unknown to Dal- vine, and he will find 1t. He will drive, blindfolded, a pair of horses and will go direct to the building in which the key is hidden. He will then find the key. This is said to be one of the most won derful stunts in the hypnotic profession.
