By Grace L. Meigs, M. D.. of the
Children's Bureau, Department of La
Dor, written for the United Press.
NEW YORK, April 25-Next week is
Baby Week throughout the country.
During baby week a community asks
itself how the youngest citizens are
being protected and cared for, and
Baby Week should mark a fresh start
toward meeting their varied needs.
OF course a community can protect its
little children only as it protects the
home which they live and so the COM
munity work during Baby Weey and
afterwards may we'll consider three
things Are we safeguarding the life
and health of mothers? Are the par
ents in this community learning how
to care for their children so that they
will grow up we'll and good and hap
py? Are we tOlerating economic stan
dards which make decent, wholesome,
intelligent care impossible?
OF these three things, perhaps the
first is the least generally understood
and therefore the protection of moth
ers might well receive special empha-
sis during this years Baby Week.
Some $4,000 mothers are dying each
year from causes connected with
childbirth although maternal deaths
are in large measure preventable, and
uncounted mothers are suffering from
unnecessary illness because they have
not had proper maternity care. All
this reacts disastrously on the child
rem, who pay for the lack of a strong
happy mother in many ways, some
times with their own lives, sometimes
with unnecessary illnesses, sometime s
with constitutions permanently weak
ened past upbuilding. Personally,
believe that many mothers do not un--
derstand their own needs. They dc
not realize how important good mater
nifty care is both to themselves anC
to their babies. If Baby Week coulS
help mothers to see come clearly how
much of their illness and danger i
, preventable, it would mark long stel
toward making available to all tn
, means of preventing unnecessary i'll
ness and death from maternal causes
At present many expectant motherl
? make no attempt to secure skilled su
pervision throughout the months be
fore their babies are born. They d.

Mother Needs" the Thought
for Baby Week April 3O-May 5

not insist ON hospital care or trained |
attendance in their homes during con-
finement. And after-care and a per-
iOd of rest until strength has return
ed are essentials absolutely unknown
in many homes.
Then there is the whole field of hy-
giene, which is still very little un-
derstood by many people although it
is of primary Importance in preventing
complications for the mother and the
illness of her baby Simple and popu-
lar statements Of the daily care which
an expectant mother should have and
the kind of care a well baby should
have are contained in two bulletins Of
the Children's Bureau and in various
shorter pamphlets which can be Sc
cured by any mother without cost.
During Baby Week, copies of such lit
erature can be placed in the hands of
many mothers, and wide publicity can
be given to the value of such informa-
ton in preventing illness.
OF course mothers may understand
perfectly what they need in the way
of food and clothing and rest, and
they may realize that they should have
skilled supervision and trained atten-
dance, but they may be quite unable
to obtain these things. Baby Week
can not stop with a campaign of pub
licity about the mothers needs. 1t

QUIET AFTER STORM

Speaking of the little old municipal
election held in Twin Falls last Tues
day, while it may not exactly have
been a blizzard or cyclone, it cer-
tainly developed into a quite healthy
Idaho zephyr. Especially is this true,
taking into consideration the calm
that preceded it and the absolute lack,
up to a late hour, of any signs of
either wind or rain.
Just exactly what set in motion the
efforts and influences that eliminated
in the announcement, three days be-
fore election, of an Independent can
didate for mayor, would be differently
explained by each person to whom the
question was submitted; and is not
now worth either the seeking or
knowing. 1t was certainly no offense
against honesty or public or private
morals for some hundreds of citizens
TO unite in a request that Judge Walt
ers consent to the use of his name,
nor for the judge to accede, even re-
luctantly, to such a petition! Besides
this, in the latter case there comes
the boys excuse whom the preacher
caught fishing on Sunday: well, l
guese faint very awful bad" said the
kid, II haint caught nothin'"
So, without any waste of time over
possible cause, errors, accidents or
escapes, we come to the cold fact that
an electoral storm was on; and that,
like all atmospheric disturbances that
arise suddenly, it ragged fiercely. No
doubt, under these conditions, charges
were made and motives impugned by
both sides more glibly and loudly
than wisely or fairly. There seems,
unfortunately, to be almost no avoid
ing that sort of tactics in the course
of a really warm political fight, either
large or small, in this great and good
country of ours.
But, after all, Americans claim tC
be, and are, good sports" and "gooC
sports" whatever may happen in thu
stress of battle, do not believe in "hit
ting below the belt" nor in "strik
ing an opponent when down" And i

found that in the city near the noun
tains, the rate on shoes from Bos-
ton was just FL cents higher per
pair than from Boston to Omaha,
and II was just 2 cents higher per
pair from st. Louis, and that clerk
tried to make me believe that the
freight rates accounted for 5000
difference in price.
Upon further inquiry, learned
that the freight rate on suit of
clothes, a suit Of clothes will weigh
about three pounds, is "a cents
from Chicago to Omaha and s cents
from Chicago to Ogden. The rate is
LIZ cents from st. Louis to Omaha
and IA cents from st. Louis to Og-
den. From New York to Omaha the
rate is Al cent and from New York
to Ogden it is 9.S cents. From Phila-
delphia to Omaha the rate is AZ
cents and from Philadelphia to Og-
den it is 10 cents.
1t will take about a dozen ordin-
airy felt hats to weigh three pounds
which take the same freight rate as
mems clothing Thus it will be seen
that the freight charges on the win
ter hat, which you recently purchas-
ed, amounted to about two thirds of

and If you purchased it in Omaha,

Lane is right, there is no hi Oh

Now what does Uncle Sam charge
for registering mall that is for the

on first class mail, If the value is

lar cent stamp. The government
does not guarantee second class
mail at all. On parcel post packages,
cents extra for a valuation of SIS,
cents extra for valuation of $25,
10 cents extra for $50 and so cents
IL the value is 500.
The value of the freight shipment
makes no difference in the liability
of the railroad and in these day Of
the unusually high prices of every
thing Except freight rates. the
guarantee by the railroads means a
liability several times as great as in
former years.; for instance a carload

liability to the Union Pacific,
