LEGAL OPINION DEALS DEATH

ORDINANCE.
FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
WIN pEcisIcE VICTORY
City Attorney Rules Police Officers
Have No Business IN Dance Halls
Where Laws Arc Being obeyed-
Proposed Charity Ball and Inquiry Of
Police Chief Prompted Ruling.

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 15.-The ordi-
nance regulating dance halls and plac-
ing police restrictions around them was
punctured so full Of holes today by f.
f. Dawley, city solicitor, in an opinion
rendered to S. S. Burgin, chief of po-
lice, that there appears to be nothing
left for the city council to do but re-
peal it or wink at it's enforcement.
Mr.. Dawley holds in substance that the
police have no rights at a dance SO
long as the laws are obeyed and the
dance is given by a fraternal society
or for charity. even tho an admission
fee is charged and others than mem
bers are invited.
Charity Ball Raises Question.
The opinion was the result Of q re-
quest made by Chief Burgin SO that
he would know where he stood in rela-
ton to the White Cross charity ball.
Burgin had informed the persons who
are to be responsible for the charity
ball that il they expected to charge ad-
mission they would have to conform to
the ordinance and hire policemen and
take out a license just the same as the
fraternal societies are required to do.
The chiefs attitude caused an appeal
to be made to Mr.. Dawley for an opin-
ion. Burgin had been informed by the
council that he could not use ordinary
discretion in the enforcement of the
ordinance, but that he must be gov
erned by it's language and enforce it on
all alike. This is what Burgin had
determined to do, but the opinion of
Mr. Dawley knocks the ordinance into
cooked hat
Joy For the Lodges.
The fraternal organizations who have
been giving dances for the entertain
ment of their members and friends will
hail the opinion with joy. 1t was only
a few weeks ago that a delegation
from the Fraternal Aid Union APP
peared before council and protested
against the employment Of police to
attend their dances. They made the
allegation that the society only charged
an admission fee to cover the cost
of the music and that only the mem
bers and their friends were allowed
so long as an admission fee was
charged the Ordinance would be in
forced. Then they asked council if
they would be permitted to charge for
the refreshments served and permit
their guests to enter the dance hall
without cost. In the opinion OF the
council this was an evasion Of the law
and the society was told nothing could
be done but either to appeal or amend
the ordinance

DEATH RATE AMONG BABIES
OF OVERWORkEO MOTHERS


"No one knows how many fathers
or how many mothers there are in the
United States. No one knows how
many mothers are at work for gain out
side their homes" The chidren's bu-
reau of the t. s department of labor
brings out this fact in its third annual
report made public today. 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 conducting
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 average infant
death rate of 1874 out OF every 1000
babes in steclmaking and coalmin-
ing town as against a rate of 81 out of
every 900 in "A residential suburb An
even greater contrast is found between
the most congested section and choic-
est residential 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 reflect
I'd in lessened infant mortality"
The report shows, however, that no
deductions can be made about the re
lation between the general infant NOR
tally rate and industrial employment
of women until the facts about the
number and proportion of mothers at
work contained in the unpublished cen
sus returns are made available by tab
ulation.
This tabuaton is especially i'm
portant to the studies of the children's
bureau. Among the subjects of study
which the law directs the bureau to
undertake, are infant mortality, the
! birth rate, orphanage, and desertiOn
all requiring information as to fami-
ly structure. For 1890 1900, and 1910
this information Was secured, but the
material has not been tabulated be
| Ina, rn Ia
lie demand for it such as secures, for
example, the comprehensive infOrma
tion regarding manufactures furnished
by the bureau Of the census every five
years. The census officials fully real
| ize its value, but neither the census
| bureau nor the children's bureau has
! funds to make the tabulation that
would render this body of human facts
available for use"
Meanwhile the childrens bureau is
pursuing its inquiry into the relation
of babies deaths to wages and social
conditions believing that the inquiry
| will prove increasingly valuable as a
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 "A con
structive fashion through two pam
phlets entitled Prenatal Care, and In
fant Care, which are sent upon re
quest to individual mothers
