from infant loss at one end and with
fearful waste at the other
If the Bureau is to investigate and
to report as the law directs. then it
must try to find ways of reporting
which will be heard by the whole
public which it was created to serve
The popular methods of the Baby
Week, which are those of all astute
advertisers, form an invaluable meth
cd of reporting to the parents OF TINS
nation those standards of infant well
fare which experts are endeavoring
TO make clear
The Baby Week emphasizes the
constructive side of infant care. II
addresses not only individual parents
but communities.
The best test of its value will be
the work that follows it.
Undoubtedly every state toarC
Of health should secure what only sin
states have at present-a special di
vision of child hygiene. No city or
town should fail to provide instruct
i've nursing service and to pay con
slant heed TO the problems of by
gene and sanitation, of proper hous
ing and of recreation spaces, since
all these Immediately affect the vel
fare of infants.
There are 5000 counties in the
United States In every county seat
there should be a center for the health
work of that county-a station fol
examining babies, and older children
and for furnishing expert advice fol-
keeping them well-in short, a health
teaching center
We must have complete birth reg
istration.
All these will lie institutions for The
common use-no more revolutionary
no more eieemosynary, than public
schools and weather bureaus and az
ricultural experimental stations.
The New Zealand infant mortality
rate is less than one-half of ours an
is being further reduced.
Why take less pains for American
babies than New Zealand takes?

POWER OF CITY
TO ALTER ROUTE

Superintendent Alexander Gordon
Of the local street car company,
which is subsidiary of the T. H. l.
& E. Traction company, said today
that SO far as he knew the traction
company had given no consideration
to any plan Of operating its traction
cars through the south part of the
city and over the South G street
bridge when that structure is COM
pleted.
II doubt very much If the city could
force us to change the route of our
traction cars through Richmond but
maybe 1t has such authority" Mr..
Gordon said.
He indicated that the traction COM
pany was we'll satisfied to continue
the operation Of its interurban cars
along Main street.
A city official pointed out today
that the city several years ago forced

DRESSED DESCRIBES
CAUSES FOR THANKS
IN PRAISE SERVICE

Invisible forces and moral facts
we're brought to the attention of con
gregation at First English Lutheran
church special Thanksgiving services
this morning by Rev. F. A. Dressed
whose text was. Rejoice in the Lord
Always, and Again, l Say Rejoice
He asked his congregation to join him
in thanks for blessings Of individuals
and the nation. ........
Special music by the church choir
and by Roland Nusbaum, organist
was an important part Of the holiday
program. 80
First Of ALL" said Rev. Dressed In
the Thanksgiving sermon, there is
the silence Of national peace and safe
ty. fact to which we have grown 40
accustomed that It scarcely arrests
our grateful attention. In the second
place, there Is the silence of a great
national credit. Think Of the volume
Of business done in this land every
year. and how seldom you see gold
coin pass from hand to hand. In the
third place we ought to be thankful
for the silence Of independent-politic
al thinking.
I'VE are to rejoice always, not some
times but always: not only when 1t Is
clear. but also when 1t Is cloudy: not
only when we are prosperous but also
when we are in adversely; not only
when all men praise US but also when
some would in1ure us.
I'VE owe 1t to God to rejoice be-
cause Of His unfailing goodness to US.
We owe It to others to rejoice be-
cause It Is a testimony Of God. We
owe 1t to ourselves to rejoice always
because we are the children Of the
King.
"By so doing we will convince the
world of the reality Of our religion.
We can give no testimony more SUBJ
lime and more thrilling. Rejoicing
Christians are the unanswerable argu-
nlent Of Christianity"
