TIE VALUE OF A BABY.

Prot Irving 7. Fisher has figured
out that baby is worth 500
II IS just as well for The distn-
guished Yale economist that he sub.
mitied this estimate before so calm
and judicial a body as the committee
on social welfare OF the Massachu-
setts legislature instead OF at moth
ers' meeting. We shudder TO think OF
what would happen to Prot. Fisher II
he yentured TO tell any woman that
her baby is worth a little more than
an ordinary colt and about half ms
much as a motorcycle
The estimate. OF course, is based
on the probabilities of the average
babys economic productiveness when
il grows up. The adult says Prof.
Fisher, is worth, as an economic unit
"a working member OF the commlni-
ty-about $4,000. The baby would be-
reckoned al considerably more than
$50 II there were more certainty as to
lis reaching maturity
Unfortunately, most OF the $4,000
unnecessary deaths that occur in
the United States every year are
hnhies' deaths And the hill for the
compulsory social insurance OF work
men now pending in the Massachu-
setts legislature contemplaies the
saving OF the little economic units as
