that a majority of the campaigns
were held in smaller towns and
rural communities The children's
bureau has reports of campaigns in
over 1900 towns of less than 10000
inhabitants; about 700 of these may
be classed as rural communities. The
development of the campaign as a
countrywide activity was demon
strated in at least siZ instances in
1916
Although in many cases baby
weeks were successfully carried out
in states in which no wide plan
had been developed, it was found in
general that the most notable celebra-
tons were organized in states in
which the president Of the state fed
GRAFTON or one of the state chairmen
of civics, home economics, or public
health assumed the responsibility of
studying the situation, of ascertaining
from the state boards of health, eX-
tension divisions of state colleges and
| universities, and other authorities
the nature Of the cooperation which
could be expected; and sending letters
to local clubs with outlines for q
celebration In one state the chair
man called upon the Governor for a
| proclamation, arranged to have the
news of the campaign published once
| d htth III ever lith OpsiIjti Ill lllC
state, obtained statistical data from
| the state board of health to strength
en- all statements concerning the in
! FAINT mortality problem, had a prize
| given for the best slogan, and sent
| letters to- every club president in
| the state.
The program for an elaborate baby
! week may include, as it did last year,
| several of all of the following fea-
| lures:
l. A program of special days.
among them flag day, school day.
! fathers day, outing and parade day.

mothers; Informal meetings and

| leaflets and pamphlets on the care of
| the baby: 10.-Publicity and educa
| ton through newspaper articles, ad

and essay writing, contests for
mothers etc; 11.-Some special test

lent and the general chairman of
civics, home economies and ublic
health sent out a call to the clubs for
the celebration of a nation wide baby
week campaign and announced that
The United States Children's bureau

ton If what the results would be.

committee of 1916 could point to the
experience of New York. Chicago,

which baby week campaigns had been

ARMY INQUIRY
DEVELOPS SOME
UNTOLD FACTS
SEVERAL MONTHS DELAY IN
SUPPLYING RIFLES, THE SEN
ATE MILITARY COMMITTEE is
INFORMED,
By Associated Press.

! Washington, Dec. 10. Several
months delay in supplying rifles, pri-
vate ordnance manufacturers told the
senate military committee today, re-
suited from the war departments de-
! cision to modify the Enfield type. Fac
tory machinery changes, the commit
tee was told, reduced the output OF
Enfields for England and production
will not return to maximum until
next May.
A contract with the war department
to produce modified Enfields was not
completed until last July, President
Henry S Kimoall OF the Remington
Company testified. It was October,
he said, before machinery changes
could be completed to begin output.
Delay in congressional appropria-
TONS Kimba1l also stated, further de-
layed the output. His firm hesitated
to take a contract in the absence Of
definite appropriations.
The new modified rifle and also the
American ammunition, Vice-President
Tyler, of the same concern testified,
are regarded superior to British types.
After war was declared in April, he
stated, the war department Immediate
ly began negotiations with them to
devote their factories, engaged on a
British contract for 100000 Enfields.
to make the modified American type.
1.-THE committee cannot understand
why with war imminent in March, no
contract was made until July" said
Senator Hitchcock.
Mr. Kimball disclaimed any imp1i-
cation that appropriations delayed
production and said negotiations by
the war department were promptly
begun. If the department had not
decided TO modify the British Enfield
type, he said, his firm could have
turned out the British type virtually
without an ydelay, but both he and
Mr.. Tyler said the new American rifle
is superior, largely due to it's ability
to use much better American cart
ridges.
Both manufacturers declared 1t
very wise move, to adopt the new
type, notwithstanding the delay in
production.
cit would have been too bad and
a great mistake to have retained the
old rifle, compelling continued use of
much inferior ammunition" said Mr.
Kimball.
Senators Hitchcock and wadswortn
asked If it would not have been better
to insure that American, British and
French ammunition should be inter-
changeable.
eff your policy OF preparedness had
been started early enough it would
have been possible Mr.. Kimball an
swered, adding that rifle machinery in
the Remington plants was bought nom
England by the war department
THE change in the rifle was abso-
lntely justified by the facility to use
the much superior American ammuni-
tion," he said.
Turning to machine guns the manu-
facturer said they were making the
new Browning gun, 1.-The finest ever
seen"

MANUFACTURERS READY
AHEAD OF DEPARTMENT

washington, Dec. 19.-HoW ordnance
manufacturers, anticipating the gov
ernment's war needs, spent millions in
preparations on the chance that war
orders would follow while the army
ordnance bureau refused to act, was
related today by manufacturers to the
senate committee conducting the war
inquiry.
The manufa cturers agreed, however,
that the war departments decision to
change the type OF army rifle, even
though it involved a delay in deliv-
cries, was a wise one, because it en-
