very hungry. He couldn't get inside
the Hen House in the Old Farm Yard

Bunny, for Billy Bunny was too quick
for him. SO there was nothing for
Daddy Fox tofdo but to catch Tommy
Turtle and take him home; Mrs. Fox
could make very nice turtle soup. That
was better than nothing. z
All the time this was going on Tom

Daddy Fox leaned over the bank and

FIFTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN
SECURES INCREASE FOR
BABY HEALTH FUND.
LEADS FIGHT IN FAVOR
OF SAVING THE INFANTS
Demands Funds to Carry on Battle
Against Infant Neutrality-suspicious. It
to Be as Important as Combating
Foot and Mouth Disease and Choi-
era, Which Cost Huge Sums.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Acting on the
theory that a nation which can afford
to pay s2,5O0,000 in a single year to
fight foot and mouth disease, 100000
to fight hog cholera, and large sums
to eradicate cotton tick and boil Wee
Vii. also can spend something to save
babies. Congressman Good Saturday
forced the house to increase the APP
preparation of the children's bureau OF
the department of labor by 100000.
He Fought Alone.
Congressman Good brought this fight
TO he floor of the house after his own
committee, against his protest, had Gu.
So 900 from the item for salaries con-
tanned in the estimates of Miss Julia
I-athrop.5 head Of the children's bureau
and had cut about $4,000 from the
item for travelling expenses.
on the strength of his fight the item
for salaries was raised from sI06,6i0, as
reported by the house in the legislative
appropriation bill. to Sis. 80 the figure
presented by Miss Lathrop as needed;
and the item for travel and contingent
allowances was raised from $4,000. as
$4,000.
Congressman Good said the nation
should be heartily ashamed OF the fac-
that 81 per cent of its babies die be-
fore they are one year old as against
. rate of 5 per cent in New Zealand.
The funds needed by the children s
bureau were to conduct fight TO com
bat this infant mortality, he said, and
there was only one dissenting vote on
the republican side when his motion
TO raise the appropriation was puI 70
a vote, enough democrats voting FOR
the item to carry it thru.
With it's limited appropriation last
year Congressman Good pointed out.
the children's bureau was able TO make
a statistical study of infant mortality
in Manchester, y. H. which brought
out facts that should be valuable IN
showing the nation. the cause of hlsh
infant mortality and the means TO COM
BAT it.
a.. ..-. In Textile Mills.
The mortality among the Hveborn
babies of Manchester was shown TO be
1865 to 1000 births. Manchester is pri-
marty textile town, and the textile
mills employed 36.3 per cent Of all the
fathers Of babies born in Manchester
during the twelve months covered by
the study. OF the fathers, 1871 per cent
were earning less than $3.50 a year.
4s.5 per cent less than $3.50 22.s per
cent $3.50 or more; 6.4 per cent $3.50
or more.
Congressman Good quoted from the
report Of this investigation which
showed that OF the babies with fathers
earning less than $3.50, about one IN
four died before it was twelve months
old. The great majority of the babies
had fathers in the wage group from
$3.50 TO ss4s. and of these about one in
six died Of the babies whose fathers
earned $3.50 but less than $1,000. one
IN eight failed to survive. Where the
fathers earned $1,000 or more, one baby
In sixteen died the first year

1.-THE WARNING"

The part of q man who, through be- ing a good fellow, and his own worst enemy, goes through literal hell be- fore he learns his lesson, is admirably portrayed by Henry Koll1er, in "The Warning" a five-part Equitable fea- ture at the Trianon theatre today. The story is in allegorical form, and aside from the poignant interest which at- taches to the theme and the way in which it is worked out, is one of the most striking examples of screen artis- try which has ever been presented. Dore's illustrations of the Inferno" of Dante have been drawn upon in a realistic manner. and the grip which the pictures take upon the minds of those who see them is not silly loosened.
