INFANT MORTALITY

~ HERE could be no better
u tribute to our advance in
civilization than is to be
found in the progress Of work
for the elimination Of infant
mortality ug0u0viu ufau
In 1916 there were 78 per
cent mere births than deaths
in certain states Of the union
containing one-third Of the ma
tion's population. This fact is
made known as a result of a
survey by the federal bureau
of the census. The survey
shows also that the birth rate
in the United States is higher
among the foreign element of
the population than among the
native born. Other interesting
figures are given, but in the
published summaries of the
survey not much is said re-
specting the relationship of in
fantile mortality to birth rates.
Facts of this sort are, however,
tc be found in some detail in
reports issued by the federal
children's bureau.
Much significance attaches
to the children's bureau reports
on infant mortality in Johns
town, Pa; Montclair. N. j., and
Manchester, N. H. In general,
they show a close relationship
between the economic status
Of families and the infant death
rate. For example, to quote

Thrift and Enterprise Penalized

Thrift and Enterprise Penalized
During the debate on the revenue
bill in the Senate it was urged that
the measure, as proposed and passed,
would bear more heavily upon the
concern with small capitalization
but with an efficient management than
upon the larger corporations where
overhead charges are less closely sup
ervised or where the element OF per-
sonal pride of ownership and manage
ment is not emphasized. A firm OF
certified accountants in Portland, Ore
has made a tabulation which shows
this criticism to be well founded. a
corporation with a capital Of $4,000
and earning $4,000 year, net, will
have to pay $1,1oO.50 in Federal tax
es; while a corporation with 100000
capital and earning the same amount
-sl0,000--will pay only s60o.50. This
inequality runs through practical ,
the entire list Of computations which
has been made. 1t applies TO ths
company with 100000 capital a.
against that with $500, 900, to the half
million concern rs compared with thu
million-dollar rival. II shows thai
thrift and enterprise are penalized be
yond their deserts.

ruchings of silk, like the coat, take
the place of lace for finishing collar
and sleeves. Narrow girdles are also
made Of the silk. BY keeping to SIM
