Break Regarded Too Foolish for
Discussion by Officials.

dering on indignation was voiced here
early today over Chancellor Won Beth

surauce that she had no intention Of
taking such a step

COUNTRY SHOWS HIGH INFANT
DEATH RATE.
Average i'm Rural Districts Greater
Than i'm Cities Census Report
States.

Washington, Feb. 5,-Why are
there so many deaths among country
babies and country mothers? And
what should the federal government
do about it? Miss Julia C. Lathrop in
her fourth annual report as chief of
the children's bureau describes it's
new rural studies Of child and mater
nal welfare, which combine a scienti-
fic inquiry with work of Immediately
practical value to the children of the
neighborhoods visited, and suggests
constructive plan for the future.
The report gives many reasons for
extending this rural work. First, the
census bureaus figures show average
infant mortality rates in the rural
districts higher than the mortality
rates found by the children's bureau
in the more prosperous sections Of
the cities which it has studied.
Again the census figures show a
markedly high death rate among
country women of collaborating age.
for which large number of proven
table deaths from maternal causes APP
pears to be responsible. 1t is estimat-
led that more than 5000 women die
| year by year in the United States
from conditions incident to materni-
,,ty, while the extent of unnecessary i'll
health is at present unknown.
An argument FOR better care of rur-
al childhood is based on the high per-
centage of physical defects among
children in rural schools given in re-
ports of state boards OF health.

SOMETHING ABOUT TRAPPING.
To the boys of this locality:

To the boys of this locality:
You must have license to hunt
or trap, and you must be sixteen
years of age; that is the law.
Skunks are easy to catch. Find
their den where they stay; set your
trap on the outer edge of their den.
You don't have to cover the trap up
as they will walk right into it. 1t is
the same way with ciVits.
In trapping coon, find where they
travel along the water and tie a
piece of bright tin ON the pan of
your trap under the water where 1T
is shallow. A coon is very inquisi-
tive-he will put his paw into it to
see what it is and get caught.
Mink are very cunning and hard
to catch. You find them about old
drifts. You have to cover up your
trap and either hang your bait over
the trap, about a foot, or take two
small logs and lay them close enough
that lhey can pass thru over the top
of the two logs, with another so it
will close and tight. Make it about
four or five feet long. Set a trap at
each end Of the logs in your passage
way. Put your bait in the center IF
the runway. Muskrat is the best
bait to catch them with.
Muskrats are easy to catch. Their
dens start in under the water; find
where they are and set your ira
far enough out in the water that he
cannot get on dry land, or he will
gnaw his foot off. Set 20 r trap in
the same place as long as you catch
them, for they stay in families, from
five to twenty-five in den.-An Old
Trapper.
