are assured by efficient organizations.
Our finances are far from exhausted
and there is no lack of provisions. Our
fleet, despite few losses among the
cruisers, is ready to be thrown into
the struggle at the proper moment and
in full strength and our submarines il
all the seas are the dread of our en-

changed to a defensive and the pros

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.

million and q quarter dollars is
on deposit in SCHOOL, savings banks
in the United States, according to
bulletin just issued by the Bureau OF
Education. This money is distribut-
ed among 27,00O pupils, who thereby
learn lessons OF thrift for use in later
life.
Belgium has the honor of originat-
ing the school savings bank system,
according to the bulletin. Prof. Laur
ent, OF Client, Belgium, in 1873, be-
gan the work among school children
for amelioration Of poverty and the
Improvement Of individual and nation,
al life" His work soon attracted the
attention OF other leaders of educa-
tion In other countries.
A native Of Belgium, John Henry
Thiry, put the school savings bank
on a permanent footing in the United
States. Mt. Thirty established banks
IN Long Island, N. Y, and the New
York schools, under Superintendent
Maxwell, have been among the most
successful advocates of the system.
Mr Thiry's efforts in behalf Of school
savings banks have been continued
since his death, in 1911, by Mrs. Sara
Louisa Oberholtzer, of Philadelphia
who was aided in the compilation OF
the Bureaus bulletin on the subject
Several methods in vogue for col
Letting and banking the savings Of
the children are described. Usually
the cooperation Of established
savings bank in the school commun-
ity is first secured. Forms AID
blanks are provided by the banks.
When the amount reaches one dollar
the child Is given bank book and,
becomes, through the school, a regue
lar patron Of the bank. When the
deposit reaches So to So Gas the banks
select) it draws interest at or more
per cent.
Among the cities where the school
savings have done notable work are
Pittsburg, Pa, where over s6OO0OO
has been deposited since the intro
duction of the system. Chester, Pa,
has deposited since then over s252,.
000 with $4,000 reported as still on
deposit. Atlantic City, ~ j., has on
deposit over $4,000.

TWENTY THOUSAND
HEAR BILLY SUNDAY
Pre-Enine Mems Evangelist,
the Number Of Men Converted
Greatly Outnumbering Women.

Facts and figures completed Sun
day showed that 100000 is the price
Philadelphians will pay for the bar-
vest Of souls reaped by Billy Sunday.
1T is altogether probable that the
free-will offering of Philadelphia will
be at least $4,000. Out of this amount
Mr.. Sunday will pay Immediately ST.
600 to the members Of his party and
will put aside one-tenth for charitable
purposes-God's tenth, he calls it.
That there will be other donations
by Mr.. Sunday to the members Of his
party and to religious and charitable
work is asserted by those who are
close to him. 1t IS probably well with
in the facts, however, to say that Mr..
Sunday will take approximately S40,-
900 from Philadelphia as his share Of
the contributions made on the last
day.
Including last night, the total mum

THE MOTHER STATE

encouraged lest some of the inhabi

all persons contemplating the secur-

more We ~ie Of "A
,ru.. ny the bureau is the
list in an extensive inquiry into this
subject. The bureau finds that the
death rate Of babies varied in differ
ent parts OF the same city. In the
poorer section, where sanitary condi-
uons we're worst, the rate was 27l
per thousand babies. or more than five
times that of the choice residential
section of Washington.
The report also shows that artitl-
cially fed babies die at much more
rapid rate than naturally nourished
babies. 1t says:
In the earliest months of the
baby's life exclusive breast feeally
appears to be the only safe methCu
only 1876 babies per thousand uleu
under one year Of age when Dreast
led for at least three months, as
against 1858 per thousand when leu
| on artificial food up to the age or
three months.
"Where mothers were employed a
large part Of the time in heavy work
babies died at a much more rapid
rate. In one group Of 19 mothers
whose babies all died, Is had been
keeping dodgers, an arduous occupa-
ton among the foreign women, where
the wife without extra charge often
washes and irons for the lodgers and
buys and prepares their food.
Neglected Streets Blamed
THE city bears its share Of the re-
sponsibility for infant deaths. A high
rate Of infant deaths was found in CO.
Incidence with neglected streets and
insanitary housing. In houses where
water had to be carried In from out
doors the infant death rate was 1913
per thousand, as against 118 per thou
sand where water was piped into the
house"
The findings are based on a report
as to infant mortality conditions in
JohnstoWn, Pa. Other cities now be-
ing studied are Manchester, N H.;
RTnpkt0n
JohnstoWn was chosen as the first
city to be studied because Of it's in
terest as a type Of town in which
there are no large industries employ
ing women, and because its size and
good birth registration permitted a
study with the limited staff which the
bureau could at first assign to the
work. In her letter submitting the
report to the secretary of labor, Miss
julia T.. Lathrop, chief Of the chill
dren bureau, says that the subject
Of infant mortality was chosen for the
first field inquiry because Of it's i'm
portance.
According to an estimate Of the
United states census bureau at least
$4,000 babies die annually in this
country, which means one baby out
of eight under year old. Miss Lath-
rop says that leading sanitarians de-
clare that If proper methods of hy-
gience and sanitation were observed
this number could be indefinitely re-
duced.
Every mother Of Johnstown baby
born in 1911 was visited by women
agents Of the childrens bureau and
information obtained about the fam
lily surroundings Of the baby, how the
father earns the money necessary for
AS care and how much he earns and
whether the mother works outside OF
the home.

MEXICAN POLICY UNCHANGED
Administration Attitude Will Not Be
Altered By Investigator Report
By Associated Press.

Washington, May 25.-President
Wilson does not contemplate any
change of Mexican policy as result
of the report by Duval West, his spe-
cial commissioner who recently return
ed from an investigation, The Presi-
dent told callers to-day that Mr.. West
had not suggested an embargo on ex.
ports of war munitions from the United
States into Mexico.
President Wilson said Mr.. West had,
orally, supplemented written reports
made during his investigation in Mex.
leo and that while Mr.. West had given
him much information no change in the
administration s attitude was contem.
plated.
Mr.. West is understood to have re-.
ported as to the ability of the various
factions. pointing out that none SEEM
ed to have the element requisite TO
dominate the country and bring peace.
As he impressed the Mexican leaders
with the necessity for safeguarding
the lives of foreigners and their in
terests, and the Washington govern
ment within the last few months has
been able to secure protection for for
eign interests, the disposition of high
officials now is to allow the military
situation as between the factions de-
velop further before putting into eff.
feet any change of policy.

ARMS OF ANTWERP
They Recall the Queer Custom That
Gave the City It's Name

IHlstorians relate that Antwerp takes
its name from castle which in Frank
ish times marked the site of the city.
This castle was built to protect the en-
trance to the Scheldt and to prevent
foreign traders introducing goods into
the country without paying toll to the
sovereign lord.
The penalty for theft and smuggling
was in those days the cutting off of a
hand and, as in this case the severed
members were thrown into the Seheldt,
the castle came to be known as And
hunerbo-or, in Flemish, Antwerpen-
"the place of hand throwing The
castle and two severed hands appear
on the city arms to this day.
Antwerp cathedral's tapering spire
was once compared by Charles V to
mechlin lace The towers of the old
Steen castle, the fortress palace of the
former Counts of ADtwerp break the
center of the line of docks and look as
stolid and formidable as in the DAYS
when the castle was necessary to guard
the shipping. Here were held those
great fairs which during the middle
aged served to attract merchants from
all parts of the civilized world.-Lon.
