water Care of Roads.

"'cf stre W tDHuS.
Water, not cold, is the cause OF
the Deterioration of roads in winter
according to the road specialists ~
the department Cold weather does
not in itself injure roads no matter
whether they are earth, gravel, or
macadam. In fact, an earth road
Will stand more traffic when IL Is sol
idly frozen than at any other time.
Excess water, however, is always de-
triNental to "A highway. When cold
weather turns this water into ice, the
damage that il does is greatly in
creased. Ice occupies considerably
more space than the water from
which it is formed, and every person
who has lived i'm cold climate is
familiar with the powerful bursting
effect of water when left to sfreeze
i'm a confined vessel. The same ac-
tiOn takes place when wet road
freezes to any considerable depth.
II simply bursts, or, as we generally
term it in road parlance, the road
heaves. Later. when the frost
leaves, the road is disintegrated and
ruts badly. If this process is repeat
ed a number of times during the win
ter, gravel or macadam road may
he practically destroyed, while an
earth road may become entirely i'm
passable.
A dry road will not heave. Rock, !
gravel, sand, and even clay when |
perfectly dry contract slightly on
freezing. these materials must con-
tain or be mixed with water, and /
the more water they contain the .
greater the expansion which takes /
place. But SO long as the road re-
mains frozen the damage does not
become apparent. Hence the fire.
quent and erroneous idea that it is
the thaw which Injuries the road.
The injury was done when the water
in the road froze and the particles
Of the road surface-briken stone,
sand. or still finer particles of earth
or clay-were pushed apart by the
expanding power of the freezing wa
ter The thaw merely allows the
ice to melt and assume it's original
volume as water.
The remedy is self-evident. Keep
the water off the road The time to
begin preventive measures is early

BIRTH REGISTRATION NEED IN NATION WIDE
MOVEMENT TO SAVE LIVES OF BABIES!

white infants in the first year of life
living on streets fell from 121 to 100,
and among those living in alleys from
213 to SO; and among colored infants
living on streets from 299 to 269, and
among those living in alleys from 307
to 262. These rates are computed
on the basis Of population CORE
spending in each instance in age,
race and location.
unfortunately the births regis
tered in the district during the years
named were not distributed accord
ing to alley and street residence of
the mothers, and death rates cannot
be computed on the number of chill
dren born.
THAT the diminished mortality is
not as whole due to the diminution
in the number of births is shown,
however, by the fact that from 1907
to 1912 the death rate of all white in
fants, computed on the basis of re-
ported births, fell from 113 to 90, and
the death rate of coIored infonts, SIM
iIarIy computed, fell from 263 to 208.
mo one will deny, of course, that
many factors tending to decrease in
FAINT mortality have been operative
during the period covered by the fore
going statement. Certainly, however,
some weight must be given to the fact
that as early at 1907 the health de-
partment of the district began send
ing to the mother of each child born,
upon the receipt of the birth report,
printed instructions relative to the
care of her baby and that in 1908 the
health department arranged for nurs-
es in the service of the Instructive
Visiting Nurses society to visit
promptly every baby reported as hav-
ing been born under the administra-
lions of midwife and certain other
cases where there was reason to be-
lieve that the child had been born

The birth record is safeguard for
the newly born child. 1t furnishes to
the health officer and the visiting
nurse the name and address of every
baby, and the community is thus en-
abled to send to the family in adverse
circumstances a knowledge of hy-
giene and sanitation which may save
the life of the child.
DR.. S. Josephine Baker, director of
the bureau of child hygiene of the
New York city department of health,
says:
''The birth record is perhaps the
starting point of about Is per cent
of our effective baby-saVing work.
Under the present system
we use the information contained on
the birth returns in order that a
nurse may be sent at once to see the
mother and put her in touch with the
various agencies that may be of ser
vice to her and at the same time give
her instruction in baby care"
DR.. W. C. Woodward, health officer
of the District of Columbia, describes
in the following paragraph the reduc-
ton in the infant death rate which
has taken place in the district within
the last few years. 1t will be seen
that the registration Of births furnish
es the indispensable starting point of
