Fight to Save the
Babies of France
Head OF "SaYe Belgian Baby Move
ment Organizes Campaign in Gaul.
Works Without Compensation.

PARlS-A group of specialists in
infant welfare has been sent to
France by the American Red Cross. At
its head is DR.. William p Lucas, pro-
lessor of pediatrics in the University
OF California, and originator of the
Save the Belgian Baby movement.
Before the war the birthrate and
deathrate in France were so nearly
equal that publicists voiced their con-
Germ over the future of the national
life. Last year. however, with the
deathrate probably over twenty per
1000 not counting deaths of men in
military service, the birthrate was Of
ficially estimated at only eight per
1000. In New York state the birthrate
is twenty-three or twenty-four per
1000, the deathrate about fourteen per
1000.
| The total deaths in France in 1916
were about 100000. Births number
ed only $4,000 The net loss in pop
ulation was 7SS,000, or nearly two per
cent of the whole. In Paris, where
4S,917 babies were born in the year
ending August l, 1914, only 2G,179
were born in the second year of the
war, ending August 1, 1916.
There is crying need for effec-
tive work among children" cables Ma
jor Grayson NJ. p. Murphy, head Of
the American Red Cross commission
now in France. He reports that there
is great need for doctors and nurses
for work with mothers and children,
and the Infant Welfare Unit will he
prepared to give such immediate re-
lief as it can.
With DR.. Lucas in the Unit, which
was financed by Mrs. William Lowell
Putnam of Boston, are DR.. ]. Morris
Slemons, of the Yale Medical school,
one of the best known of American
obstetricians; DR.. julius Parker
Sedgwick, physiological chemist, pro-
fessor at the University of Minnesota (;
DR.. John c. Baldwin, specialist in dis
eases of children; DR.. Claim f. Gel
ston, DR.. Lucas's assistant at the Uni
versity of California; DR.. N. o.
Pearce, another specialist, and the fol-
lowing experts in sociology and child
welfare work: Mrs. ]. Morris Stem
ons, Mrs. William P. Lucas, Miss Eliz-
abeth Ashe, and Miss Rosamond Gid
err, daughter of the poet
These specialists will survey the sit
uation and study the work already be-
ing done by the French, and will prac-
tice without receiving compensation
from patients. The task before the
Red Cross, which will be carried on
| by this and succeeding units, is not
only to cooperate with French spec
ialists but also to carry on a genera
l educational campaign among French
mothers in the interest of better pre-
natal hygiene and scientific feedinl
and care of the babies. Special effort
+ viii be made to protect children from
! tubercular infection, which is particu
larIy threatening France today as
result of trench warfare.

Times Cleaned Out
by |. w. w. Bomb
Midnight Visitor Throws Missile Into
Room And Occupants Into Fits
Is Caught.

Red fire, smoke and confusion
reigned in The Times office about
1890 o'clock Sunday morning when
a disguised syndicalist threw lighted
bomb into the front rooms, with words
of fierce imprecation. d. M. Denton,
president of the Times Printing and
Publishing company, was sitting with
his back to the door reading a dis
patch about l. w. w. activity in Ore
gon, while James ID. Whelan in the
capacity of Sunday Times editor was
writing a headline on the story con-
corning a second warning issued to
Butte Industrial Workers, when Wal
ter M. Denton, who was visiting the
office gave a wild yell. The presi-
dent and editor looked around in time
to see a large bomb splitting fire and
powder smoke thrown, by a tall man
with a cap pulled down over his eyes
and a red muffler around his neck.
Denton and Whelan both adjourned,
the former across the desk and the
latter to the back room in double
quick time. Whelan gave a correct
vocal imitation of the last Kaw in
the process of unwillingly turning
his scalp over to a Cheyenne, while
Denton, very much excited, called to
his brother to "Shoot the l. w. W.
and to Whelan to throw out the
bomb" Walter heroically grappled
the intruder and Dan came to his as
sistance, while Whelan, after various
calisthenic motions to printers, in
tended to signify that they should
"beat it," decided to "come back" and
tackle the bomb, to which he admin
istered a swift kick, driving it to the
door. The Dentons captured the in
truder who proved to be the desperate
character, Stamina de Boon, otherwise
known as Samuel M. Boone, who has
been foreman at The Times office fol
some time End that the whole bunch
that the conspiracy was on foot fol
some time and that the whole bunch
including Walter Denton, was "heI
to it,. The bomb consisted of fine
cantaloupe, but the fuse was real anC
it took some time to clear out the
smoke and fumes.
Denton says a man doesn't know
when he is warming a viper at his
bosom, and that when his own broth
er betrays him, he cannot tell il
whom to place confidence. He says
that he wasn't really trying to get on
of the way, when making the running
leap over the desk, but was simply
practicing for the hurdle races, a
the Southern Idaho Fair, at which
place Whelan also expects to enter
for the sweepstakes dash, which HI
says that he is sure to win, provided
that the signal to start consists o
the dropping of a bomb.

Farm Mobilization
Plan Being Perfected
Efforts TO Increase Production and
Secure Systematic Effort In Rails
ing Things.
international News Service)

international News SerV1ce)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-Labor for
the farms is to be modified in the
various states through regular train
ing camps established under approval
of the federal government. Plans for
these camps have been worked out by
the council of national defense and
have the hearty endorsement of Pres
ident Wilson and members of his cabi-
net. These training camps, with
courses along intensive lines, are ex-
pected to fit city boys for farm work.
The outcome undoubtedly will be the
equipment of thousands of youths
along technical lines for work on
farms where a serious shortage ex-
lists.
The training camps probably will
be established within comparatively
few weeks in every state to provide
the vast numbers of additional la
borers demanded by war emergencies.
First nationwide campaign will be
started with the object of impressing
upon both state and national officials
the necessity of setting aside funds
for the establishment of intensive
training camps. Under this plan the
camps would be the main source OF
supply from which would be sent
thousands of boys to the small supply
camps.
Farmers writing to Washington Of
ficials concerning the city boy de-
clare he is a splendid worker as soon
as the "greenness' wears off. But
your farmer insists that the city char
must receive some hard bumps be-
fore he can compete with his country
cousin. Thousands of such boys wen
from the Middle Atlantic and eastern
states to the western farms during
the spring and early summer. Gen
orally they gave satisfaction
AS an evidence that the farmers
prejudice against the city boy is dis
appearing officials today exhibited nu
merous letters from western grange
owners asking for the establishment
of more boys camps.
The farm labor problem has beer
growing more grave from year t.
year with the constantly decreasini
supply of regular farm help. 1t il
expected the labor shortage will reacl
crisis next year unless a big DO.
farm army is modified and trained.
The council of national defense
through Secretary Clarkson, generous
ly applauds the idea of the boys farm
training camp. Secretary Clarksol
said:
with the farmers showing them
selves ready to use city boys, wit
boys by the thousands available il
every big city and with the trainin
camp as a medium of preparing Their
for the field, there seems to be bu
one sensible and logical thing to do
to establish these miniature 'FarI

Same Time Successful BY The New
"Times, SerVice.-Try It

We wish to inform the business men
of Twin Falls county that the Times
has contracted with Bonnett-P fown
Sales Service, of Chicago, whiCh COM
pany is the largest manufacturer and
distributors of advertising stereotype
cuts in the world. They ca 'ry a very
extensive line of cuts to lie used in
the advertising of any and all lines Of
business, during any and lal seasons
of the year. The Times will receive
proof sheets each month of the adj
vertising cuts and each business man
in our town will have an opportunity
to make his selections. Such cuts and
illustrations will enable our dealers
to give their customers an attractive
ad to read, and one that possesses
equally as much individuality as those
in the metropolitan papers. In con-
tracing for this service we feel that
we are adding another asset to the
paper, and one that will pay big divi-
dends to our local advertisers. There
are but few papers in towns of this
size, that are securing such service
for the patrons of their advertising
columns, but the Times is always try
ing to increase its service in each line,

lation in southern Idaho, but also the

Filler Schools Are
Much Overcrowded
Regulations Necessary For School in
Fairgrounds Town Are Issued
VIII Limit Outside Enrolment.

The Filler schools are crowded. FL
nances are low. The Kimberly school
with the same enrolment, has two
buildings and a district three times as
large as Filers which has a valuatio-'
two and one fourth times as great.
Because of these conditions the
school board at it's last meeting took
action which will effect several peo-
pie in this community.
During the coming year, no grade
pupils will be admitted to the Filler
school from outside districts unless
it is necessary for them to accompany
an older brother or sister who is en-
rolled in the high school. High school
pupils will be admitted as usual
The enrolment of the first grade
last year was about 20. The reason
for this large enrolment was in part
due to the fact that some of the peo-
pie in the district sent children to
school before they were of school
age. During the next year pupils
will be admitted to the first grade at
the times of the opening of school if
they will be six years of age on or be-
fore October Is. Pupils who will be-
come six years of age on or before
February Is will be admitted to the
first grade at the close of the first
half of the year about January Is.
1t is hoped that the wisdom of these
two rules under present conditions
will be appreciated. Should the
crowded conditions of the schools be
lessened the rules of course will be
removed. But until then, no excep-
ton to the rules can be made under
any circumstances.
At the meeting of the schoolboard
on Monday night it was decided to OPP
en- school on Monday, September 10.
Reports to the effect that school
would be delayed until the first OF
October has been current, but, in the
opinion of the board all of the boys
! whose services will be needed on the
farm this fall will also be needed on
! the farm next spring and nothing
4 would be gained by the delay The
county teachers institute will be held
in Twin Falls from the third to the
seventh of September and will be at
tended nv all the teachers.

Wanted TO Break In-While the
TIMES man was chatting with Lieu
tenant Krengel on the street yesterday,
they were accosted by a countryman
of middle age, who had been, doubt
less attracted by the Lieutenant's uni
form. where's these here recruiting
men," asked the stranger. He was di-
rected to the recruiting office on Sho-
shone street; but quickly rejoined,
Eyes, / know, we've been there and
couldn't find any one. This young
feller," pointing to a tall and athletic
young man who accompanied him,
wants to break into the navy and we
can't find any one to show him how
to do it," He was assured that the
business of the recruiting officers
took them out and in; and that if
they would go back and wait few
minutes the officer would be sure to
appear. But waiting didn't seem TO
appeal to them and they wanted to
know if they couldn't find a doctor S
office and get examined first. The
Lieutenant told them it would he BET
ter for them to see the recruiting Of
ficer first; and thew turned back
rather reluctantly. This is the sort
of young Americans who will make
good in the navy or anywhere else
and the TIMES wishes him all sorts
of good luck-both in breaking in
and afterward.
