NNE OF the most important problems
which now confronts US is saving
the infants that unnecessarily die.
Miss Julia Lathrop, the head of the
Children's Bureau OF the Department of
Labor, has inaugurated a nationwide cam
paign in behalf of the infant and the child
under five. Statistics show that approx
imately 100000 children of this age die
in the United States every year.
If we were to read the casualties from
the European battlefelds summed up at
the end Of the year, showing that 100000
American soldiers had been killed during
the' twelve months we should be appalled,.
But the death of the soldier in battle is
glorious. 1t is the supreme test of his
loyalty and sacrifice. He goes into the
fight knowing the chances that he takes
To die on the field of battle has always
been esteemed a privilege by the soldier
deny the help it Graves!
The child has no such claim upon the
glory Of death. The greater number of
these children are infants and as the word
implies, they cannot tell of their pains
and sufferings. Tennyson beautifully de-
scribes the language of the infant crying
in the night: 'Its only language is a cry"
Mutely the sucking infant looks into
the eyes Of ifs mother and father with
confident appeal for help. How cruel to
deny the help It Graves.
Our first purpose should be to prevent
the illness; it is often too late after dis
ease has made the child its victim The

great majority of infants that die during
the year perish during the hot months.
AS the temperature rises so does the
death rate among infants.
As a rule it is not the high temperature
that kills It is the effect of the high
temperature upon the chhd's food. In the
case of an infant the only food it should
have is milk. A high temperature has a
disastrous effect upon the milk.
When milk is kept cold Cnear the tenn
perature of ioel its bacterial growth is
very slow. When the temperature of-milk
rises to so or 80 degrees its bacterial
growth is enormously increased Not only
do the harmless bacteria grow in increas-
ingly great numbers, but also the organ
isms which tend to produce disease.
There are thousands Of parents who do
not know the importance of keeping milk
cold. There are other thousands who do
not have the facilities to keep milk cold.
Thus between ignorance and inability the
child has little chance for its life. This
is why the danger months for the infant
are particularly July, August and Sep
TENDER.
A factor which strongly affects infant
mortality is the income Of the father. AS
the income falls below a thousand dollars
a year the death rate Of the child in
creases. It is not until the income reaches
about twelve hundred dollars that the
death rate Of the children falls to normal
The reason of this relation is not diff
cult to discover In the family where the
father has a small income, pure, sweet

FIRST DAY IF WEEKS DRIVE IN
 UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
 BROUGHT SPLENDID RESULTS

Marshalled like soldiers, the men and women of the Maricopa county organ ization of the United War Work cam paign, got off to a fine start yesterday, Buckeye leading by raising 70 per cent of its minimum quota in the first day.
 Phoenix raised about 20 per cent of its quota the first day, the report from county headquarters for the drive showing a city subscription of s1000 with a minimum Phoenix quota of $36 900.
 Among the other Maricopa cities and towns making fine showings are Lib erty, which subscribed 46 per cent of it's minimum quota the first day, Palo Verde, 21 per cent and Arlington which went after the Buckeye record hard with a total of 65 per cent That sec tion of the county raised a total of 4S per cent of it's minimum quota.
 The Spirit is There
 Two incidents during the day in the county canvass showed how keenly alive are the people of Maricopa to the needs of the soldiers and sailors who must now face long months, perhaps years. of tedious work in strengthening out the tangled affairs in Europe.
 One incident came when little boy, a newspaper vendor, came in to county headquarters and asked how little they would take. He was told any gift from him would be welcome and he gave a rickle-all he had.
 The other was a most interesting let ter received from I. J. Johnson, New York Life Insurance company agency director. MT. Johnson is ill with the influenza but found time to write that ha lG 1.,I f1,- the United War Work campaign had he not been in and enclosing s100 as his donation.
 T note that the allotment for Mari copa county is $60000" he writes, T have been thinking that if 600 people were each to contribute s100 we would have our allotment. Are there 600 people in Maricopa county who can and will give $100 or more? I believe there are, and l believe that if they have not already subscribed for this, they will sit right down and write their checks to you for this amount and mail it at once.
 T see no reason why the good people of this county should spend four or five days tramping around asking people to contribute, when I feel sure there are 600 people right here in this big. wealthy county, who are willing and anxious to give at least s10o"

SHOWS WASHINGTON
 AS HE REALLY WAS
(New York Evening Post0

History seldom repeats itself. but sometimes it amuses itself by making analogies. In 17S5, Houdon, the great French sculptor, came across the ocean at behest of the Virginia Legis-' lature, persuaded thereto by Jeffer- son and Franklin, then in Paris, and made a portrait statue of Washington. Most of us, seeing only the complete work, are inclined to forget the things that HoudOn purposely overlooked in his sitter
 Fresh from the cultured lands of France, he chose to see in the father of his country only the serene Olym- plan and perfect gentleman, demigod of an orderly and successful revolu- tion. Yet Washington, like Lincoln, was in his time something of a frontier character and could employ, upon oc- casion, very strong and undiluted lan- guage, and his hands-and it may be presumed also his feet-were. says Lafayette the largest ever seen on any human being
 If Houdon had been Barnard in temperament what representation of the rude man of power, the primitive leader of an elemental people, we might have had, But the men of those days supposed that internal power need not necessarily show itself in externals. Houdon came over with his various implements and took ac- curate measurement of Washington and a model of his features, and then went back to Paris and made the statue of the great gentleman in the Richmond state house, who is not less q leader of men by reason of his perfect grace and dignity.
 Happy age that could produce such a perfect com mbination, an immortal hero and an artist worthy to commem- crate him, and a public able to appre- ciate the artists work, Washington has been fixed for posterity. No Bol- sheviki sculptor of future times will be able to represent him, according to i later economic theories, as the arro- gant leader of the capitalists of his time; no young Washington exhib- iting him as a great, splay footed rawboned, long legged frontiersman will ever get a grip on the popular | imagination.
 That calm, graceful, but command ing figure will withstand all the raids | of all the fads that time can muster against it and not lose one whit of dignity.

CELEBRATED NOT
 WISELY, T0O WELL

The surrender of Germany proved too much for some of the festive spirits of Phoenix, judging by the police court docket yesterday afternoon. City Mag istrate Frank Thomas, however, did not have to pass judgment for none of them were in court. They had been released previously on bail of s5 each, when they could show to the satisfac- tion of Chief Brisbois that they were able to walk a straight line.
 Among those arrested and who for feited bail were E. L. Graves, Tom Jones and D. P. Eldridge, arrested by Desk Sergeant Harry Nadder and Po- liceman Blea in the Central cafe and charged with being drunk and disor- derly.
 Another bunch, arrested by Police man R. C. Pickering and who forfeited each s bail, were H. NJ. Warren, T. J. Cavaness and Jack Barker. Ramon Penne was arrested by Policemen Mickey and Edwards and charged with being drunk and disorderly He also forfeited s bail. Others were in jail last night sn a similar harge. sleeping and awaiting time when their "ondi- tion will permit them to furnish bail.

 The second is a circling watercool- ing system, a la automobile, in which the water passes from the jacket around the gun barrel to regular automobile radiator, which in turn is cooled by a fan driven by the power that operates the loading mechanism and which in turn is merely the power plant of the car. A centrifugal pump makes the water move. although it would surely thermosiphon hurriedly if this system were used istead of the pump.
 The third startler is the fact that the gun is designed to be an integral part of it's carriage, which is a gas engine propelled vehicle. Perhaps this idea was borrowed from the fighting air plane. in which the machine gun is rigidly mounted to fire through the propeller.

first day was that made at the state house where A. A. Betts, Con F. Cronin and Jesse Boyce formed the canvassing committee. The committee collected $63S.75 at the capitol and re- ported at the close of the day that the state house will probably double the donation by the close of the second day of the campaign.

DRAFT CALLED OFF NO MORE MEN TO
 BE SENT TO CAMP

The railroads yesterday refused to transport any more troops until fur ther orders, acting upon orders from Washington. The surrender of Ger many was the reason.
 The local board yesterday an- nounced that 35 men who left Monday morning for Camp Cody were turned back upon orders from Washington. This contingent returned to Phoenix last night.
 The contingent of Al men due to leave this morning were sworn in as soldiers at | o'clock yesterday after noon, prior to receipt of the order from Washington. As soon as the local board was advised, acting upon orders from Adjutant General Charles Harris, it sent members of this contingent home to await further orders.
 Ordered to Stay Here
 This same order will apply to the contingent of SS men due to leave for the motor transport corps at Fl Paso next Thursday, They are ordered to remain here
 Many of the contingent of Al who were 10 leave for the Kelly aviation field, Texas, this morning, stayed at NlAN AtNtAi HOdAAl eA Atl btAnS CNOin II III and were present when orders came
 When Martin T. Weyant, secretary of the board called out. You don't go, boys" there was a general feeling of disappointment manifested Many of these boys volunteered out of their turn 10 get into this contingent, and in consequence their disappointment was keenly felt Their fighting spirit had been fully aroused and in conse- quence they left the local board with dropping heads and heavy hearts.
 Railroad Gets Word
 The order received by the railroad was to not only transport no more troops, but 10 sell no more tickets to troops nor to agents for troops. No of ficial word from Provost Marshal Gen cral Crowder had been received at the time the railroad made known its or der through General Agent W. $. Goldsworthy and Superintendent Loveioy.
 This order probably will end the movement of troops from Phoenix through the local board.
 The local board reviewed it's work yesterday, saying that it had sent away 10 the service all branches, be- tween zoo and 5000 men from this county. It has registered for military service 16,700 men from this county. Of this number, 1000 have gone away in contingents about 240 enlisted Tn the navy and marine corps, and about roo went into other branches of the service.

WHITMAN TO ASK FOR
 BALLOT INSPECTION

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-Governor Whitman will tomorrow make appli cation for an inspection of the ballots cast at the recent state election, that there may never be any doubt as to the result of the gubernatorial contest, according to an announcement made tonight, after a conference at the head quarters of the republican state com mittee. Among those attending the conference were Governor Whitman and George A. Glynn, chairman of the committee.
 On returning here today from Chi cago, Governor Whitman made public a letter from Mir. Glynn, in which the latter asserted figures unofficially re- ported to ds,' exclusive of the soldiers vote yet to be canvassed, would indi- cate a plurality in favor of Alfred E. Smith of only about 1000 votes, or about one-third of one per cent of the total vote of approximately 2,000,000.

Much Interest Was Shown
 In Correspondence Plan
 to Resume High School
 Work Halted By "Flu"

The first day of the operation of the plan to resume work of the Phoe- nix high school by mail was success ful beyond expectations, according to Acting Principal Jantzen. This was shown by the extreme interest taken in the correspondence system by the pupils, which was gratifying to the teachers.
 Students yesterday sent in their reg istrations on postal cards or in letters, but many of them did not apparently possess a postal card, for they went direct to the high school office to se- cure some sort of card on which to register
 Go Sinsy to Get Books Parents are urged to study all pre- vious announcements carefully and then explain them to the boys and girls, and impress upon the students the necessity of conforming to the let ter of the instructions.
 The high school is not open for at tendance. Registrations are to be mailed on a postal card or in a letter Students may go singly to the high school to get their books for study Teachers are not to be interviewed.
 Assignments will be made direct to the students at their homes. Lessons will be called for at later date. In that manner all may conform with the regulations of the board of health, al though keeping up in the studies of , the high school. They may safeguard themselves against the epidemic and yet continue the work the teachers and students are so anxious to do.
 Will Repair Machinery The machine shop department wishes to announce that the boys. with their instructor, are ready and anxious to help out any rancher in repairing | gasoline engines, tractors or machin- 1 cry of any kind without charge, if the rancher will notify the high school office or call up telephone 3559 and ask for Mir. Montgomery and then come in and get the boys. 1 All students will be notified by their | teachers if they are wanted at the school buildings for any purpose what ever.
