COnsepvatlou Of Babies.

The General Federation Of Women's
Clubs has issued a call for general
observance Of the period from March
1 TO March IL as Baby Week. The
Federation declares with truth that
the baby who Is well cared for and
lives in hygienic surroundings has a
far better chance Of resisting disease
In infancy and later than the baby
whose parents are ignorant Of the
principles Of infant care and for
whom the community and parent to-
gcther fail to provide a decent, well
drained home. with plenty Of clean
water. clean milk and sunshine.
The Children's Bureau OF the United
States Department Of Labor regards
Baby Week as m cxpedient for di.
recting attention to the needs of ba-
bies which are well known to scien-
ti1c authorities. and popular under
standing OF which would lead to
great reduction In the loss Of infant
life. The bureau has published. for
free distribution a pamphlet with
instructions for making Baby Week
effective.
Modern life appears TO exert I'm un-
favorable influence on the birth rate.
The enormous loss Of life caused by
war has also led TO more thoughtful
consideration Of methods for conserv.
ing the source of supply of this valu-
able asset To- til" nations. Thought
Is now seriously directed In Germany
TO the prenatal and subsequent care
Of infants. which Is in striking con
trast To the action of certain authori.
ties In Berlin when, three years ago.

of his milk pastcurization scheme for

having convinced audiences at Heidel-

WAKING Cp the Colleges.

Colleges are supposed. and they pre-
tend, to At young men for life In this
world, not for existence In some uto-
plan realm yet undiscovered save IN
the dreams Of idealists. Discounting
fairly the charges brought by critics
too exclusively practical, the fact re-
mains that college education in this
country, without s%urrcndcring what
Is praiscworthy In Its idcalism, II be-
improved in No other way ~ much as
by being brought into closer touch
with business life.
Colleges. perceiying the need, have
failed to create the opportunity for
Its satisfaction. The first practical
effort comes from outside the faculty
room. The National City Bank Of
New York. In placing before Yale,
Harvard. Princeton, Columbia and
other universities ~ the East. and
half n dozen State universities In the
West, n carefully planned scheme of
cooperation, has rendered both to cdu-
cation and To business In this
try n service rs promising Of benefit
as it is cXtraordinary--though per-
fectly simple-in IT'S conception and
detailed programme of execution.
Modern business demands special
training. College education. whether
justly or not, Is increasingly held in
esteem as a credential for candidates
for places of trust and responsibility.
But the college man going into bust
ness loses time, not necessarily in
unlcarning what he has learned. but
in orlentlng himself to the new on.
,ironment. The City Banks plan t.
devised with the prime purpose Of
bridging this gap. II calls. in brief

FRENCH WINES.
Prospects for American Consumers

To EDrroR OF THE SuN-Sir: Much

II may be Of interest. therefore. to YOU
