THE PUBLIC INTER-
 EST IN BASEBALL.

To millions of men in stores. offices and factories. spring begins the day when the major league teams pitch the first ball. To them the news papers, now take on thrilling interest and are eagerly sought for and read.
 The intense popular interest excit- ed by baseball and other sports is de- plored by philosophers. It occupies the attention not merely of that great host of rnen-so situated that they can attend league games; but of millions all over the country. In every cross roads section you find young men who pore over the scores of the big leagues, the local teams, and minor leagues representing their own state and section,
 There are many newspapers today that during the height of the season give a. page or tive to baseball. Mean wIliie the same papers might not give half a column to a~debate in Con- gross. Fo serious minded persons, attention is thus diverted from preb- lens afa social advance to pursuits that are wholly trif1ing.
 Yet the same men who study Sc exhaAstively the box seeres would never be reading Congressional de- bates or literary reviews. Perhaps the tFeHeHdeus interest ia sport today has had something te dc with the de- cline ef the yeIiew navel: Many of us can ReaaeHaber hew in eur bey7 Aeea e1Yt eeRaFaAes weuIa steal of Id the AaTm0w te read sTaza Aleedy

WIDOW OF MAN WHO
 DIED, UNDER ETHER IS
 DENIED COMPENSATION

Waterbury, April 14-Compensa,- tien Commissioner Frederick M. VII Hams of the Fifth district has filed with the clerk of the supreme court an adverse finding against the claim of Elizabeth O'Connor, widow of MyIes O'Connor, of Derby, against Peter Daily, a contractor Of that city for damages due to the death of her hus- band.
 MT. WilIiams' finding was based on the fact that there was a lack of proper notice of any injury by O'Con- nor, lack of proof the injury. which df- recly preceded death was sustained while in the contractors employ, and also that O'Connor who was addicted to alcohol, died in a manner not un- usual of dilation of the heart and ez- citement under the effects of ch1oro- form.
 The evidence showed, the finding reads that at the time of the alleged accident, O'Connor merely told one of Da1y's sons that he had a sore hand not stating how or when he received the accident, While in Da1y's employ Treatment was administered for this injury in June and it Twas Apparently cured. He was absent from work on July 4. however. and went to a phy- sician for treatment for an injury to his finger in about sthe same place. Again in September he was treated for the same injury, apparently, and a. short while later it was noticed that a septic condition had set in
 A doctor advised that the bone would have to be scraped for about a quarter of an inch, and Daily was called up and asked if he would stand for hospital expenses. He agreed to do so. thinking that the injury was sustained in his employ. The physi- clan advised that a local anesthetic be used, but fO'Connor insisted on com pIete anesthesia. He was taken to the Griffin hospftad in Derby. where he died whileu nder the influence of ch1oroform. The death certificate reads that he died of di1atfon of the heart,N anI excitement, produced by ch1oroforrn.

MORTALITY STATISTICS FOR
PAST SIX YEARS,
CAMPAIGN TO SAVE
BABIES Is EFFECTIVE
Secretary Sumner Finds Decided De-
crease Among Children Under S
Years Of Aee-Pneumonia Claims
Many Victims Showing Among
Older People Not So Satisfactory.

Des Moines. April 10.-The death
rate in Iowa is growing lower yearly,
according to a recent statement by
Dr. G. H. Sumner, secretary of the
Iowa state board Of health. According
to analysis of the death statistics for
the last six years. the length Of life of
residents is increasing steadily. A re-
port on the death rate will be con-
tanned in the regular census report
which is to be made public soon.
According to DR. Summers state
ment, there has been a decided de-
crease in deaths of children under 5
years of age since 1910. Each CLASH
fcation under 40 years also shows a
decrease in the number of deaths each
year.
In. the classification of persons be-
tween 40 and so years Of age, an in
crease in the death rate is found. And
from the age Of so on the increase in
the number Of deaths per capita popu-
increases.
Save the baby campaigns and
health propaganda preached to young
persons DIS wei as general Improve c
ment Of conditions thruout the state as
regards sanitation are probably re-
SponSihle for the decrease in the death
rate Of younger persons according to
DR.. Summers statement.
The report shows that pneumonia
claimed more victims in Iowa since
1910 than tuberculosis. There were
about 5000 deaths due to pneumonia
in that period and only 5000 deaths
paratively small number accord
ing to the report-due to the white
plague"
Grip took a heavy toll in December,
1915. according to the report. The total
number Of deaths in that month was
$3.50 while in 1914 there were only
1924 deaths. and physicians say that
the influenza epidemic was largely re-
sponsible for the increase.
Following is the number Of deaths.
