Although during 1914 there was one
death in ten among Infants less than
a year old. there has been in recent
years a decided decrease in infant
mortality in the District. according
to figures complied by the Health De-
partment.
Out Of a total registration Of 7.1a0
births in 1914. there were 715 deaths
among children less than a year old.
In 1918 the number OF births report
ed was S.s03 and the number OF deaths

were recorded and the number OF
deaths was 500 and In 1911 there were

The percentage OF deaths during
these years is small when compared
with earlier statistics gathered by the
Health Department.

q Hits Congressional Union.

Characterizing the Congressional
Unions policy Of holding the party In

act the suffrage amendment as Short
sighted and un-Auerican." and en-
phaically denying all rumors OF an
amalgamation between the two organi-
cations. Mrs. Mediii Mccormick. chair

frage Association. issued a statement
today In which she said that 30 long
- the union adheres to It's present
methods there can be no hope OF Coop
GRAFTON from her organisation.
The difference between the two or
Ranixations is one Of fundamental poll
cies." she continued. Most women
clearly understand this. and before they
pay much attention to proposals OF
fusion. they will want to know what
that FUSION will mean.
Many OF us long have hoped that the
Congressional Union would realize the
ter OF It's fundamental policy. State
campaigns for suffrage are still going on
In this country. and will continue to 20
on. As long as a body OF orga ICED suf-
fragists advertises its hostility to one
or the other Of the big political parties.
80 long will our State campaigns suner
from the natural resentment OF the
members of that party. There Is no ex-
agRerating the handicap which this puts
upon suffrage work. ii must be aban.
doned absolutely before the women OF
the country will consider having their
work identified In any way with that

OooKER wAsnINOToN's WORK

The death Of Booker T. Washing
ton removes a prophet and leader
who, in pointing the way for the ad-
vancement Of his own race, was as
prs-eminent as any leader of race
since history began.
The work Of his lifetime is known,
but, upon his death, speculation
arises whether. with his tremendous
personal energy and achievements
removed, the progress Of his work
may be halted. Anyone who has
studied the history of the colored
people for the. past fifty years will
realize that the race has in, store
for it a development that cannot be
retarded by the death Of one leader,
no matter how great his influence.
No students Of history, certainly
no ethnologists, longer assert that
the colored race is incapable Of
achievement. The recent discoveries
Of the free cities it established in
early times in Africa; the achieve
ments of its forerunners, the Egyp-
tians; It's remarkable evolution in
eastern Asia and middle Africa i.l
medieval times-have been studied
in recent years.
Everything about the black mans
past goes to show that, until the
blight Of slavery was put upon him
by peoples who had better running
start toward power, his history was
honorable, though, because Of eli
matte conditions, it did not follow
the lines Of the northern races. The
colored man in America, with the
help Of such institutions as Tuske-
gee, has shown himself capable of
advancement, and the advancement
has largely been accomplished
through efforts Of men like Wash
ington, Dubois, and others of the
race.

THE PIPE or WAR

The soldier and the. sailor in this
war whose nervous system is in a
ceaseless state Of tension from dan
gers and excitement finds q real
solace in the pipe that cheers. +.
Every now and then newspapers
print letters from various represen-
tatives Of soldiers and sailors or
carnations asking the public to con-
tribute cigarettes, cigars, tobacco or
pipes. Invariably such a request ap-
peals to smokers and even to those
who do not know the joy Of the
weed, for they appreciate that not
only at the front but particularly
those In the hospitals of war
stricken Europe need something to
employ the long hours.
Hospital life for a patient grows
monotonous, and among men moth
ing quite cheers dull hours more
than pipe. Smoking makes for
comradeship and social intercourse.
" Tobacco has played a part in every
war and in every great battle from
Waterloo to the Marne. II was dur
ing lull in the battle Of Spottsyl-
vsnia, with a cigar in his mouth,
that General Grant wrote his IA
nous dispatch to General Halleck in
which he used the memorable words
II propose to fight it out on this
line il it takes all summer" During
the battle Of the Wilderness Grant
smoked twenty-four cigars, an OBJ
server says.
That tobacco is Q solace and has
won and lost battles Is evidently be-
lieved by historians who show how
a great battle sometimes hangs on q
tiny incident. When the war broke
out on August 1, 1914, Germany as
we'll as other nations seized and
placed under control all the tobacco
factories that came within their
sway. For a time, as long as the
supply lasted, German soldiers on
the western frontier received daily
two cigars and two cigarettes.
Whether or not ones sympathies
are with the nations that make ur
the allies or with those fighting with
Germany, Austria, and Turkey
there are funds available where
money will be spent for the pipe
that cheers or where the pipes OF
tobacco will be equally we'll received
At any rate, such a contribution will
be appreciated by whoever receive.
