many cases accomplished by a CAM
paign undertaken by some small group
who co-operated for the first time in
arranging their Baby Week. One cana-
paign in Southern mountain village
was launched and carried through by
one woman alone, tuberculosis pa
tient. She arranged for meetings and
secured literature on baby care, which
was distributed in the two stores of the
town.
OF course Baby Week can effect no
immediate revolutions in community
care, but it has proved an excellent
starting point for new and permanent
work.
Perhaps a Westinghouse service is
organized, because the women of the
community come to realize during
Baby Week that there is no other way
in which they can be instructed SO cas-
lily and so well in the modern science
of baby care. They see, perhaps more
clearly than before, that the motherl
who depends on instinct and tradition
In regulating her baby's food and cloth
ing and sleeping and all the details OF
the baby's day is behind the times.
They see, further, that intelligent care
not only will prevent illness but will
simplify their own daily work.
Or perhaps Baby Week leads to a
determination to have complete birth
registration In the community, with q
committee to carry on a test and assist
the local officials in enforcing the birth
registration law.
Or classes are started in the public
school for the instruction Of girls in
domestic science and in baby care.
Baby Week, especially in small CONF
munities, is frequently concerned with
little children as well as babies, and
several reports tell of provision for
physical examination of children or of
new interest in wholesome play. AS
one woman wrote to the Children's bu-
reau after Baby Week:
1--WE feel that the danger from con-
tagious diseases, the need of strict
quarantine, the danger from flies, bad
milk, unclean stables, and bad farm
sanitation need publicity in rural COM
munities. Our whole county does not
boast of one kindergarten, and the idea
of the value Of play for children, both
young and older, is very poorly under
stood. A popular proverb in these
parts is only babies and monkeys need
amusing It was very interesting to
see the play-hungry children hover
over the toy exhibit and to watch them
as they listened to the primary teacher
tell them stories. The young mothers
who brought their children seemed so
interested, and so frankly acknoWl-
edged the helpfulness of the work, that
it seemed altogether worth while"
And last but not lease, Baby Week
has usually led to a better understands
ing OF the child-hygiene work of the
state health authorities. Four states
have special child-hygiene divisions !;
and several others are doing extensive
work for children. Nearly all of the
states have special bulletins or leaf
lets on baby care. To show parents
how and where authoritative material
on the care of their children can be
secured free Of charge, and to make
community eager to cooperate with
state health officials In their work for
child welfare would be by itself sub
stantial result from Baby Week.

Mayor Mollman today said 5000 ne

in the last six weeks. and he said he
would ask railroads to discontinue
hauling negroes here from the south.
Many workmen here have been idle
on account of strikes, and 1t Is esti-

imported from the south to take their
places. This influx has been going on
since Jan. /, but has been especially
heavy in the last six weeks.
A review of the results of the riot
showed that two negroes were shot
and nine were beaten so severely they
had to be taken to hospitals.
In answer to an appeal to the au-
thorities. six more troops Of national
guardsmen were ordered here today.

British Headquarters in France via
London, May 29.-The old aoage of "all
work and no play" has it's application
in war, as well as in peace.
The baseball season on the west front
Is in progress. Under the very shadow
of vimy ridge game was played yes
terday on a bit of the battlefield on
which the shell holes had been filled in
and rough h-grandstand erected for the
officers and other spectators, including
General Horne. commanding the first
British army. who has become an en-
thusiastic fan.
The game was between teams repre-
sentlng two Canadian brigades. In fact
all the teams in what may be called the
World War League are now composed
Of representatives OF the numerous Ca
madam bodies, and all the players are
anxiously awaiting the arrival Of the
American forces to arrange an inter-
league series.
The Second Canadian brigade beat
the Third by q score of to l. The Sec
ond brigade had a great left handed
pitcher whose delivery the Third could
not solve. The Third brigade also had
good boxman, who formerly played in
the Canadian League, His catcher was
unable to hold him and this accounted
for many Of the runs scored by the op-
posing side.
The game was remarkably free from
errors considering the battle field aia-
mond on which it was played. All the
equipment had been brought from
America, including the base bags. AS
sideshow 1t was possible from the
grand stand to see an occasional Ger
man shell drop half mile away. Air
planes lowered overhead but no one
paid attention to them, taking it for
granted they were friendly.
One subaltern bet enough he said, to
pay his expenses on a three weeks
leave In Paris, put se chose the wrong
side and his leave was indefinitely
postponed. The games are played twice
q week In this strangest Of all baseball
league.

movements Of gold from the United
States to Japan wss explained today
by Kazue shoda, minister OF finance.
as being principally due to ths fact
that the indebtedness Of Great Britain
and Francs to Japan is being paid
partly thru America. Ses
N. Shoda reyealed the fact that
Japan is4nuw ne9disstng with Great
Britain and France with thss purpose
of making war loans to them, while
private Japanese concerns, including
the specie and Industrial bankers are
planning tho purchase Of British and
French securities held in the United
States. These operations will reduce
the outflow Of American gold and re-
lieve the burden Of Japan's accumu-
,lating supplies.
NJ. Shoda emphasized the fact that
the trade balance was not an exact
gauge of the situation, pointing out
that Japan now has a yearly income
OF 3O0000,000 yen from abroad in the
form Of ocean freights, insurances and
remittances from Japanese in other
countries. He also called attention to
the fact that British discount restric-
tions made necessary the sending Of
specie to India In settlement of the
tmporta ton of cotton yearly to the
value Of 200,0 900 yen. Japan's spe-
Gle holdings are increasing at the rate
OF about e7,0Oo,0oo yen monthly, NJ.
Shoda estimated. Only 100000 yen
gold has been imported from America
