An Armed Attorney.

An attorney for members OF the In
dustrial Workers OF the World was
arrested in Chicago court room Sat
urday for carrying concealed weapons.
It is not quite clear why the attorney
should have felt called upon to have
firearms on him on such an occasion.
Whether ne had intended to wing
the court or anybody else who took a
notion to make it unnecessarily un-
comfortable f& his clients must be
left to inference. although the more
charitably inclined will prefer to be-
lieve the explanation Of the lawyer
that he simply forgot TO remove the
gun from his clothes before leaving
his hotel room, having had no inten-
ton of being armed when he appeared
in court.
But just why an attorney, who is
supposed to be a champion of law and
order. should be stalking about the
country with a revolver on his hip,
ought to be a subject of close inquiry
/ 1t may turn out that the lawyer was
= not taking chances with his own eli
ents, and it may afford an insight into
/ the desperate character of the typical

The Life of O. Baby.

The chance of life of baby grows
appallingly less as the fathers earn
ings grow smaller. This is shown in
the results of the investigations of the
children's bureau. made public in its
fifth annual report.
The bureaus studies 6f infant NOR
tality were made among $4,000 babies
in eight American cities Johnstown,
Pa. Montclair. n j., Manchester. n.
H.; Broekton, Mass. Saginaw. Mich;
New Bedford, Mass; Waterbury,
Conn, and Akron, Ohio. One-fourth
o. all the fathers earned less than $3.50
a year: in these families every sixth
baby died, Only about one-eighth of
the fathers earned Sl.G50 or more: Of
their babies only one in 16 died. The
rise of prices and the disorganiza-
ton of social and Industrial life
with the war accentuate the import
ance Of this persistent relation of in
come 10 infant mortality.
These studies show that to provide
mothers care and decent home con-
ditions, the fathers must have ade-
quate income. In Manchester, \. H..
nearly three-fouTths Of the mothers
whose husbands earned less than S45C
year were gainfully employed; only
about a tenth when the husbands
wage was s1050 or over. The babies
OF mothers who went out to work died
at more than twice the rate Of more
fortunate children

The Fifty Per Cent Mother.

The tIfty Fer tent lhGlnef.
4 per cent mother is female OF
the species who refuses to surse her
baby. There is something wanting in
her moral fibre.
4 50 per cent mother is one who
tries but fails to make a lasting sue
cess of this supreme duty.
4 100 per cent mother is one who
places her duty to her offspring above
every other material consideration
and sees the baby through the first
eight months OF life in the only safe
manner
The 2 per cent creature wants no
advice: the 100 per cent mother needs
none; we have a few words for the
80 per cent mother.
The figure is not spoiled by nursing
babies, but by errors OF dress. If you

Early in the ehilds life, if there is
sound reason to believe that breast
feeding alone is insufficient, it is wise
to supplement the nursing with bottle
feelings. 1t is for the attending ply

a few weeks the mother generally
finds the bottle feeding can be dimin-
