New York, Aug. 1S.-"Intensive
culture of our annual baby crop"
That, according to DR.. S. S. Gold
water. the famous head of the New
York department of health, is the
method by which this biggest Of
American cities brings up to blossom
ing every year 7 per cent more Of the
little budding lives within its borders
than does New York's closest competi-
tor among the 10 largest cities Of the
country.
OF every 1000 babies born in 1914,
116 under a year old were lost in
Cleveland, III in Philadelphia, 121 II
Buffalo, 1873 in Chicago. Baltimore,
with the worst record, lost 154. s..
Louis ard Boston saved all but l03
of the little newcomers, but New
New broke the record by losing only
95. Since 1909 New York's baby
death rate has decreased more than
25 per cent This means an actual
saving of 10000 mites of humanity in
the past six years, during which the
famous bureau of child hygiene has
been at work in this city.
1t is in large part to the bureau

STEAM SIREN MAY
SUPPLANT FIRE BELL

A steam siren will supplant the bell
at the fire house as a fire alarm if
present plans being discussed by the
firemen are perfected. Those in favor
of the replacing of the bell point out
that the alarm can scarcely be heard
in some portions Of the city when a
heavy wind is blowing.
If a whistle is installed it will prob
ably be placed with of the manufac-
tories east of the tracks.
The automatic system ringing the
bell, tested out some days ago, has
been rejected by the firemen as in
effectual. 1t has been superseded by
the old system and in the future the
alarm will clang to the lusty tug Of
some fireman on the rope.

CALEXICO

Speeding in Los Angeles couple
of weeks ago cost F. Renaud of CaleX-
leo $25.
Renaud was hailed by a Los Angeles
cop and enjoined to appear in court,
He failed to appear, however, and OF
ficers at the coast city issued war
rant for his arrest.
In the meantime Renaud had re-
turned to his home in CaleXico and
yesterday when Deputy Sheriff Ken
drick was in CaleXico on other bust
ness he served Renaud with the war
rant.
Only one alternative remained TO
the accused speeder, that of accom-
panying the officer to the county jail
until the difficulty could be settled
in Los Angeles, unless he paid the
S25 costs specified in the warrant.
He paid the fine.

of child hygiene and to its wonderful
director, DR.. S. Josephine Baker, that
Dr.. Goldwater attributes New York's
exit aordinary success in the intensive
culture of its baby crop. "Just how"
| asked DR.. Baker, "has this greatest
of cities, notorious for the heat, con-
gestion and poverty of its tenements.
managed to make this baby-saving
record which is such model for all
other American communities ?"
To begin with, she called my atten-
tion to the marvellous organization Of
the work. The bureau Of child hy-
giene has a staff of GAG members, in
cluding 1856 nurses, 1874 physicians and
10 dentists. The annual expenditures
run over half million dollars! Co
ordinate with the bureau are other
divisions of the department of health
all cooperating among themselves.
But the greatest single factor in
the record of recent years." declared
Dr.. Baker, "has been without doubt
the work of the infants milk stations.
These, for which the first appropri-
alton was made in 1911, when Is We're
formed, have grown to 90 in number,

1000 CRATES OF
GRAPES SHIPPED
HERE BY EXPRESS

One thousand crates of grapes have
been shipped through the local express
office up to August l. The grape
shipments at the present time show a
decline as only about II lugs are being
shipped from here each day.
During July a daily average of 80
crates was maintained, most of which
were early grapes.
Malagas and muscats comprise the
heaviest part of the present shipments
destined to Arizona and New Mexico
points. Growers assert that their
product in those states commands a

&, One of the biggest Christian En-
deavor conventions ever held in I'm
perial county is being planned for the
middle of October. The convention
will be held this year at FL Centre.
1t is expected that it will be attend
ed by as many as a thousand dele
gates from over the county.
A special executive meeting is to
be held at FL Centro Saturday night,
when committees arranging the pro
grams will be appointed A chairman
Tor the convention already has been
appointed. This is George A. Ragan
of Ell Centre.
Holtville is expected to send big
delegation to the convention. During
the last year, with the president To-
Gated here in the person of Vern Hol-
lingsworth, Holtville has become very
much the center of the county organ
ization. Miss Luella Curry has just
lately accepted the appointment as
superintendent of the county inter
mediate work. Under Miss Grace
Mccormick as superintendent of the
quiet hour work this department has
been adding many new members.

located in the most congested dis
tricts. Each is in charge of a trained
nurse who has an able assistant. The
best grade of milk is sold at 8 cents
a quart, rate much lower than that
in the open market. But we make ev~
cry effort to induce the mothers to
nurse their own babies, and at pres
ent time 81 per cent of the infants
registered are breast-fed.
And then, there are not to be for
gotten the little mothers-20, 900 of
them in this town of tenementsl Dr..
Baker realized that where the real
mothers must work to earn bread, the
big girls (of II years or so) must,
perforce, care alone all day long for
the tiny brothers and sisters. And
she has enlisted these child nurses
in her baby saving campaign. Her
little mother leagues are famous all
over the country.
Finally, there is the Baby's Welfare
association. One of the most extra
ordinary charities in its long list is
the famous Floating Hospital which
every day at 1880 in the morning puts
out down the bay with a load of
sickly, crippled and convalescent
babies and their mothers. Taken out
of the breathless slum streets, given
fresh sea air and good food, these
babies enjoy the pleasantest charity
surely in this city full of good works

The Can Smith Case

Ora charge of shooting his
cows, Milt Gordon had Can Smith
arraigned before Justice Koontz
Saturday afternoon to determine
whether he should be bound
over to district court.
Deputy District Attorney Mer-
rill, with the assistance of Alber-
ii, was counsel for the state. and
Att'ys Hall and Cole were for
the defense.
There were three witnesses
on each side, including parties to
the suit. Suffice to say here
chat the evidence was INSULT
cient to convict, but the court
thought that it might be consid
cred as probable cause for bind
lug defendent over to district
court, which was accordingly
done.
The oleadings of all the attor-
neys in the case were exception
ally good. Atty Albert opened
for the state, with the usual good
Alberti talk. Atty Merrill, fol-
lowing him, was in exceptionally
GOOD form, and made one of the
strongest and most poignant
talks he has so far made IN
Springfield. Atty Hall, opening
for the defense, made a good SEN
sible talk, showing that the de-
Tense had failed to make a case.
Atty Allyn Cole always makes
a logical and sensible talk, but in
the case Saturday he out-gener-
aled himself. His plea was not
only sensible and logically strong,
but on the whole was eloquent
and strikingly EN- phatic. and at

which, If continued for ten years, would make the
total for the decade I4.Soo. This large excess in
1914 compared with the ten-year ratio calls for
consideration by the authorities charged with the
duty of preventing crime The Spectator is in-
clined to attribute the increase in homicide to the
ease with which firearms may be obtained. Doubt
less this is an important factor. and yet the fact
that Washington, where any one may buy weapons.

The compilation certainly presents material for
careful study and consideration by eriminologists

Rear Admiral Grant.

There is a man in the United states
navy at the present time of whom the
people Of the country know very little.
Meanwhile all other nations proud
enough to possess 4 navy are watching
his every move. He is Rear Admiral Al
bert Weston Grant. commander OF the
Atlantic Submarine Flotilla. The devel-
opnent of the American submarine to a
maximum OF efficiency is his response
biity.
Rear Admiral Grant must he both con-
structor and organizer as well as COM
mander, due to the character of his as
signment. To be success he must de-
wise and perfect an undersea boat that
will protect the fortifcations which
stand guard over the great cities and
vulnerable points on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. To make certain such an
accomplishment he must build subma-
rines greater in size and speedier than
any owned now by the warning powers
of Europe.
And il is known that Rear Admiral
Grant is urging this government to build
submarines of the SOc-ton sclass only.
which would be sufficiently large to
cross any ocean and afford some de-
gree of comfort for the men engaged in
the perilous occupation of operating
them.
rear ROfnlral SrantS neauQuarterS
are at New London. Conn, and his
authority is broader than that of any
commanding officer in the navy. I'm
like the rear admiraIs who command
the Atlantic. Pacific and Asiatic
fleets and direct only the ships of
their divisions. he directs the building
as well as the operation of every
submarine in the service, whether the
vessel is at New York. Honolulu or
Manila.
The first order given to Rear Admiral
Grant was to take precautions that
would prevent another F-4 disaster
such as occurred off Honolulu in the
early months of this year. This prob
ably accounts for the fact that nearly
every submarine in the service has
been in drydock the last few months
and severa! have been abandoned to
the scrap-heap.
His second order was for suggestions
which will give the United States the
most effective submarine fleet in the
world.
II will be interesting to watch
Rear Admiral Grant as the country
expects much OF him-H. III. Stans-
