Two automobile accidents in which

unmanageable and ran into ditch

capped injury of consequence, and to-
day able to again resume his duties.
The other accident occurred be-

INADEQUATE CARE
CAUSE Of BIC LOSS

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 19.-"Forty
per cent of the infant mortality and
some maternal mortality are due to
inadequate medical care at times of
confinement" said DR.. Arthur B. EN-
mons, of Boston, at the opening ses-
sion of the Seventh Annual Meeting Of
the American Association for Study
and Prevention of Infant Mortality az
Milwaukee today. To the same cause,
he attributed many stillbirths and
much reduced infant and maternal vi
telity, more than half of which he de-
clared to be preventable.
In order to obtain effectiveness
and completeness" he said, q suggest
the notification of pregnancies to the
local health authorities. These not
ications should be treated confidently
and might be at first voluntary, but
later should be required This would
furnish the necessary information to
the health authorities, who should be
required to determine that proper
prenatal and safe obstetric care is as
sured to the prospective mother"
He said that the Transactions pub
lished by the Association are the best
key to the literature on infant welfare
improvement including as they do, 35
papers with discussions bearing di-
rectly on obstetrics, and reports of
new work undertaken by over Isl
affiliated societies. These records,
he said, ARE the backwardness of OBJ
stetric practice in this country today
as follows:
'1-Insuficient teachings of obstetr-
les in the medical schools
"a low standard of obstetric
practice generally, and rarely and
prenatal work.
''S-Long hours and poor pay.
1t pays the doctor more money to-
day to repair the results Of bad obs
tetrics than to prevent such results.
1.-THE midwife laws vary from
unrestricted license, simple registra-
ton, education and supervision by
police control, to non-recognition like
any other unqualified person, as In
Massachusetts.
Each community presents diff
ferent problems, and must solve its ,
own accordingly.
"6-The public and many physic-
ians still consider childbirth a simple, |
normal process, and therefore I'M
knowingly take grave risks which life
insurance companies will not take.
1.-THE medical profession, which
might successfully lead to a rapid So
luton Of the difficulties, is as yet un-
united in any constructive effort to !
improve the situation
