Children's Bureau Issues Report on
Result Of Investigations.

Washington, Feb. S.-The chill
dren's bureau of the department of
labor. which is trying to ascertain
the conditions of life most favorable
for American babies, made public a
report on infant mortality.
This report is based on the bu-
reau's Investigations in Johnstown,
Pa. which was chosen as the first
town to be studied, because 1t has no
large industries employing women.
and because its size and good birth
registration permitted a study with
the limited staff the bureau could
assign to the work. Other cities in
all parts of the country, will also be
studied by the bureau.
1t was found that the deaths of the
babies investigated were in inverse
proportion to the earnings of their
fathers. Babies whose fathers earn
ed less than $40 per week died at the
rate of 256 per 1000. Those whose
fathers earned $25 or more a week
died at the rate of 8 per 1000. II

There are few major league clubs to-

nucleus of their team for seven or
eight years. Most Of the major league
aggregations are of but recent acqui-
sition, yet the Washington club can
boast Of three of its best players who
have been members of the team for
nearly eight seasons. These are Milan,
Johnson and Mcbride. Johnson and
Milan came to the Washington club
during the summer of 1907. Mcbride
came the following spring, being
drafted from the Kansas City club of
the American Association. Ever since
this trio have been members of the
team they have formed it's nucleus
For several years they were all that
a tail-end team could boast of with
pride, and when the successful period
was reached they were still the
nucleus around which Griffith built a

old. Every one of them has long
career before him. johnson is but
