Portland. Oregon, and as far north as

rare specimens. some being Indian de.

especially rare, as the pottery where
this particular design was made has been
burned. which makes it improbable that
more of the same kind can ever be Sc

tune-teller, in fact every one that oc-
oupies his time with giving insight in
the future are thriving during this
special period of the year.
For tomorrow is January list, 1915.

War probably will continue until
1918, although March, 1916, may
tring strong hopes of peace.
AS the sub-cycle of Mars continues
until 1914, this will not be the last
conflict of the nations of the world.
March and June will be memorial lie
months in the United States because
Of International troubles as well as
external dangers.
Germany may suffer adverse con-
d!tions in January and March. Death
OF person of rank, possibly mem
Der of the royal family, is indicated.
England should expect peril from
I air raids from Feb. 3 to Feb T. Pers-
onal danger for the King or one of
his sons in March.
Italy has forecast of alternate
victories and reverses. Trouble for
a member of the cabinet in May.
Belgian has little hope of escaping
calamities until 1918 or 1919.
March and April, followed by heavy
losses in July and August. President
Poincare should safeguard his life.
Russia will uncover a long train OF
treachery. Personal injury to the

There will be sharp rises and de,
clines in the money market.
Death will remove two financiers
at times of critical crises, one in
January and one in July.
Great naval activity is predicted for
the autumn.
A stormy national election is proph-
esized. Bitter personalities, unexpect

Woman suffrage comes under ad-
verse influence. A scandal, caused by
the treachery of a political leader, is
indicated. A libel case in which an
author or scientist is implicated is

President Wilson has the augury
that 1916 will be the most active year
Of his life. New international prob

CHIEF OF CHILDREN'S BUREAU

The need for developing standards
of rural child welfare, physical stan
dards for children in industry, and
standards of law for the protection of
all children, is the key note of the
third annual report of the Children's
Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor which has been made public.
Three fifths of the 30,000,0O0 chill
dren in the United States are rural
choldren. What are the facts as to
rural child welfare They are not
known. But it is noteworthy that the
percentage of illiteracy in rural COM
munities, according to the 1910 census
is double that in cities. Where the
rural child labor is great, the percent
age of child illiteracy is high The
Juvenile delinquency laws on the stat
ute books of most of our States are
ineffective over the gerater part of
those States because rural probation
officers are lacking; and the figures OF
ssserreeT institutions show that

MAKING MEAT SAFE
Sixty Per Cent Killed Under Fed
eraI Inspection.
Hundred Million Meat Animals SIauah.
tered Each Year in United States
Tuberculosis Is Chief Cause
of Condemnation.

Neutrality-suspicious. than 100000
meat animals were slaughtered in es-
adjustments under federal inspection
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1915. Since approximately from So to
so per cent Of the animals killed in
the country are slaughtered in estab-
lishments where federal inspection is
maintained, it appears that about 100,-
100000 meat animals are now being
killed each year in the United States.
OF the animals subjected to federal
inspection, 299,958 were condemned as
unfit for human use, and 644,688 were
condemned in part. Thus little more
than Ia per cent of all the animals
inspected were condemned either in
whole or in part. These figures in
! clude only cattle, calves, sheep, goats
and swine.
tuberculosis was the chief cause of
the condemnations. More than 1854
carcasses of cattle and $4,000 car
cases Of swine were entirely rejected
on account of this disease, and in ad-
dition, parts of $4,000 cattle and 10000
swine. Hog cholera was responsible
for the next largest loss, nearly 1927
900 swine being condemned entirely on
this account.
The annual appropriation for the fed
eral meat inspection service is now
about $3,375,000, so that the cost to the
people would be between and cents
per animal and carcasses. In addition,
however, great quantities of the meat
and products are re-inspected. In this
item there was very considerable in
crease during the last fiscal year, the
re-inspection resulting in the condem-
nation of total of nearly 100000
pounds of products Of one kind or
another. Furthermore 245,000,000
pounds of imported meat or meat prod
ucts were inspected, and more than
100000 pounds condemned or refused
entry.
In the course of its work, the bu-
reau of animal industry, which is in
charge of the meat inspection service,
has discovered a new method Of de-
stroying trichinae in pork, which is
an additional safeguard to human
health. Refrigeration at tempera-
ture Of S degrees, F., or lower, for a
period of 20 days, will destroy these
parasites which occasionally give rise
in human beings to the serious dis.
ease known as trichinosis. Hitherto
the only known safeguard against this
disease has been thorough cooking of
all pork and pork products, and those
persons who neglect this precaution
have always been more or less exposed
to the danger. Unless pork is known
to have been subjected to refrigeration
as above indicated, it should be thor
oughly cooked. The microscopic ex.
animation of pork for the detection of
trichinae has been abandoned as the
usual methods have proved inefficient.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that more swine were slaughtered
in the past year in establishments IN
der federal inspection than ever be-
fore. A total of 36,247,953 were in
spected at the time of slaughter, and
approximately 55,9O0,0OO passed for
food.

conditions must be understood if We
are making progress in securing n
fair chance for every child"
"As a general rule compulsory
school attendance at the age of IA, the
crucial point of maturing life, which
educator and psychologist well know
tc be the most critical period of
growth. Yesterday great authorities
were experimenting on the best meth
ods of training their minds, of deyel-
oping their bodily powers. Today the
same children are beyond the reach of
all this costly solicitude-they have
gone to work"
After quoting the opinion of various
scientists, the report continues: Full
and intelligent protection of the phys
ique and mental powers of the youth
fIl workers of his country requires
costly and laborious studies in labora-
tory and in workshop. The Children's

DEATHRATE AMONG BABIES.

NO one knows how many fathers
or how many mothers there are in the
how many mothers are at work 70:
gain outside their homes" The chill
dren's Bureau of the u S. Department
Of Labor brings out this fact in its
third annual report made public to-
day, and says that it is impossible to
determine the relative Importance OF
the high death rate among babies OF
working mothers until we know how
many mothers there are at work in
industry.
The Children's Bureau is conduct
ing a detailed inquiry into the social
and economic causes of babies deaths.
The present report shows that the
two items of the inquiry completed
during the past year reveal an aver
age infant death rate of 134 out OF
every 1000 babies in a steel-making
and coal-mining town as against a
rate of 81 out of every 1000 in resi-
Dental suburb. An even greater con-
ttast is found between the most con-
gested sections and the choicest resi-
Dental section in each of these two
communities.
Commenting upon these findings the
report says THE more favorable the
civic and family surroundings and
the better the general conditions of
life the more clearly are they re-
f1ected in a lessened infant mortality. D."
The report shows however that no
deductions can be made about the re-
lation between the general infant
mortality rate and Industrial employ
ment of women until the facts about
the number and proportion of moth
ers at work contained in the unpub-
lished census returns are made avail
able by tabulation.
This tabulation is especially M
portant to the studies of the Chill
drens BUREAU. Among the subjects
cs study which the law directs the bu-
reau to undertake are infant mortal
lty, the birth rate, orphanage and des-
ertion, all requiring information as to
family structure. For 1890, 1900, and
1910 this information was secured, but
the material has not been tabulated
because there has been thus for no
pablo demand for it such as secures,
for example, the comprehensive infor
r-ation regarding manufactures furn-
ished by the Bureau of the Census
every five years. The census officials
Wully realize its value, but neither
tie Census Bureau nor the Children's
Bureau has funds to make the tabula-
ton that would render this body of
human facts available for use."
Meanwhile the Childrens Bureau u
pursuing its inquiry into the relation
of babies deaths to wages and social
conditions believing that the inquiry
will prove increasingly valuable as d
stimulus to more active protection OF
the youngest and tenderest lives
throughout the Nation"
Such practical results have ALREADY
followed the inquiry in two communi-
ties as the securing of infant-welfare
nurses, improving the milk supply
and rousing community interest in
kindred activities.
The Bureau also approaches the
problem of infant mortality in {
constructive fashion through two
pamphlets entitled Prenatal Care ant
Infant Care which are sent upon re
quest to individual mothers.
