FOR CHILD WELFARE.

i London, Aug. 5.-(Correspondence )- If the mortality among infants is not l considerably lessened during the next | twelve months it will not be the faui1 | of the authorities and private individ | ualS interested in child welfare A Natonal Baby Week has been in- 1 augurated throughout the country and at Central Hall Westminster Queen 1 Mary opened an exhibition which is the direct result of many child welfare | societies. There were babies twins and trfplets in great number on view in all of whom the Queen appeared to be greatly interested. Because the birth rate of this coun- try is lower than it ever was before and because S5, 900 children died last year within nine months after birth the authorities are endeavoring to bring the people Of the country to a sense of their responsibilities
 The chief objects of Baby Week cam paign are
 To arouse the sense of racial re- sponSibility in every citizen in order to secure to every child born in the Unted Kingdom a birthright of mental and bodily health
 To inform the public generally as to what is now being done for young children and mothers by voluntary agencies and the state.
 To show what could be done if every citizen shouldered his or her re spOnsibility.
 
 directions to break down the old world. prudish ideas of secrecy regard ing the knowledge of diseases to which a large proportion of infant mortality is attributed
 At meeting in the GuildhaH Lord Rhondda read the following message from Buckingham Palace
 The Queen desires me to express her Majesty's deep interest in the meet ing which is being held today in con nectIon with the National Baby Week The welfare of the children of this country lies very near to the Queens heart and it is her Majesty's profound hope that everything possible may be done to safeguard their health and promote their happiness. The Queen wishes Godspeed to this effort to save the children"
 Minister of Educa ton Fisher de- clared that the roll of infant casualties was equal to the roll of casualties in one or the greatest and most protract- ed battles of this year, and was further aggravated by the large number of children who were debilitated for life As part of the housing reform there should be hot water laid on in every cottage and a gas cooking stove pro vided.
 Mrs H. B. Irving, who has been par active in the child welfare societies says that ''it is more danger ous to be a baby in England than a soldier in France" aad claims that 1O5 out of every 1000 babies die.
 Meetings, lectures exhibitions ad- vices on feeding clothing and housing are being given in virtually every town the country. and efforts are being made to obtain funds for the institution of an annual "Raby Week."

Eagles Beat Hospital Team.

Saturday the Eagles easily defeated the Rfverview club on the Hospital grounds. "Red' McGill was on the mound for the Hartford boys and was master throughout, though he received the best of support from his inf1eld.
 Harrigan pitched good ball for the Hospital club, but his infie1d gave a weird exhibition of baseball.
 There was little real hitting on either side and the Eagles got all the breaks and deserved them as they put up a snappy brand of ball through out.
 Next Saturday the Athletics of South Manchester will be the attrac- tion on the hospital grounds.

Music of Iivinc.

All ones life is music if one touches the notes rightly and in time But there must be no hurry. There is no music in q rest, but there's the mak- ing of music in it. And people are always missing that part of the life melody and scrambIing on without counting. Not that it's easy to count, but nothing on which so much do bends ever is easy.-JOhn Ruskln.
