Berlin Authorities
Planning to Reduce
Infant Death Rate

Berlin, Feb. 9.-Some, of the diff
culties which, for the present at least
confront many Of the details of plans
for increasing the birth rate of Ger
many, have led to a strong compan-
ion movement to lower the infant
death rate It's proponents argue that
many steps are possible along this line
at the present time.
Prof. DR.. Langstein, director of the
Observation-Disclosures i1toria-House for
combating infant mortality in the
German empire, believes that it will
be possible to reduce Germany's loss
in infants to seven or eight per cent
Sweden's present rate, and thereby
gain about 100000 in population am
nually. He relies largely upon edu-
cation to accomplish this resulted
ucation beginning with children in the
folk schools, and extending upwards

The widespread adoption of the electric idea the

with the effect of getting into it all the science to
which science is due.
The result is the almost entire elimination of

in which it has not been recognized that it the
greatest asset for other household comforts helps
well. There is every place large equipment and

1t was inevitable that among so large a
group of persons, whether they belonged
to the teaching profession or any other,
there should be some time servers.
These need cause us little concern be-
cause they will soon find themselves out
elassed in honest competition in good
teaching. 1t is significant that the in
structors under whom these teachers
worked during the past summer have
almost without exception commented on
the sincerity and ability of those who
came into their classes. With the rise of
this professional spirit among the teach
ing force of our state there comes the
necessity of providing thorough summer
schools or otherwise the type of instrue-
ton that will be most helpful to the
teacher and consequently most helpful to
the educational interests of the state.

been determined efforts to place trained

VOTING AGE VARIES
Franchise Right Not the Same in
All Countries.
Belgium Furnishes Those Who Fail to
Exercise Their Privilege of Cast
ing BalIot-Women to Vote for
President This Year.

The great army of stay-at-home
voters have no pride in what Doctor
Holmes describes thus:
The freeman casting with unpurchased
hand
The vote that shakes the turrets of the
land.
We get our word vote" from the
Latin 'votum," and originally vote
means vow or pledge. An old Roman
method of casting vote once consist
ed in striking spear against shield,
and from the Latin expression describ-
ing the resultant noise we get our word
suffrage.
Ballot" too, has an ancient origin.
The Greeks on important occasions
cast secret votes by using pebbles, and
their word has come down to our time.
A recent perusal of our newspapers,
however, will show that present-day
politicians don't stop with casting peb-
bles. They carry it to the point of
singing mud.
Anywhere in the United States one
must have lived twenty-one years be-
fore he can vote. Not so in many other
countries.
The Hun votes at twenty, but the
Austrian, in the other half of the en-
pire, must be twenty-four Prussians
cannot vote until they are twenty-five
years old, and that is the minimum age
limit in a number of German states.
twenty-five is also the age in Hol-
land, Belgium and Japan. Denmark is
a believer in the wisdom that comes
with age, hence no one there under
thirty can vote. English-speaking races
may vote at twenty-one.
In many countries soldiers are dis
franchised, and under the Portuguese
kingdom no domestic servant or gov
eminent employee had ballot.
Sam Salter never lived in Belgium,
system of multiple voting. College
graduates, for example, have three
votes, and so do many others who full
fill property requirements.
About 100000 Belgians have each
three votes, and more than that num-
Der have two votes. And notice this,
Mr.. Stay-at-Home, failure to vote in
Belgium is punishable as misde-
meanOr.
Idaho withholds the ballot from big
| amists. Election bets disfranchise
men in some states, and one duel will
keep any man from the polls in Florida
| for all time.
A pauper cannot vote in Massachu-
sets, while nearly all states specifical-
| ly debar idiots, felons and insane from
the use of the suffrage.
More than 100000 women will be
able to vote in the United States this
year, and that will bring the total pos
sible vote for presidential electors up
to nearly 100000, or double the
number cast four years ago.-Philadel-

British Soldiers, Canes

You have heard of the short yellow
knobbed cane that is carried by all
officers of the British army and very
many private soldiers? 1t is a cane
that is ubiquitous. Small fortunes
have been made out of it, yet no one
comes forward TO claim its invention.
Its price at all places is one shilling,
but its name varies. I see it billed
variously at shop doors as the army
stick, the Whangee cane, the Panama
short and the swagger cane.
The real swagger cane, though, is
of older date, and is as a rule a short
piece of cane or other flexible ma
terial with ferrule at each end. One
vendor of the knobbed article yester-
day assured me its name was ''imita-
ton malaria" but 1 think she meant
