Plan to Saue Lives
of $4,000 Babies
american Red Cross Unit Maps
Out Course for Work in
France.

WASHINGTON. May 27.-To save the
lives Of ut least $4,000 French babies
this year Is the hope of the infant
welfare unit of the American Red
Cross now working 400 strong In
France. where the death rate among In
fants Is tremendous. according TO the
statements made by DR.. William r.
Lucas. chief Of the bureau, just re-
turned to this country.
I'm America there is one physician
for every 500 people" said DR.. Lucas
I'm France there is but one physician
to 5000 people, and l know OF COM
munities where there Is but one to
10000 people. AS n result, the death
rate Is enormous, and the birth rate
has fallen. as 1t has In each OF the
belligerent countries.
THE infant mortality work has sew
erat phases. One is directly through
our centers. where the public comes for
preventive work. Franco was the first
country that started preventive work
for infants and has the best organiza-
ton, where the doctors meet the moth
ers and children. But there Is no or
Sanized home visiting. and we are as
sisting to create schools to train wom-
EN- in this work.
Two months ago we started an edu-
cational campaign. The first infant
welfare exhibit was in Charities, and
the success there and the general in
terest were immense. We immediat aly
started the organization of the most
successful infant welfare exhibits I
have ever seen. The best American
record was one in Philadelphia, in 1912.
when nine-day baby show was visit
cd by $1,000 people. In Lyons our in
fant-welfare exhibit was visited by
'1.956 In the same first nine days. We
showed kindergarten work. recreational
and playground work, food exhibits.
moving pictures and lantern slides,
rs well as demonstrations OF washing
and caring for infants. This is the
general type OF our educational work
throughout France"
Dr. Lucas said the bureau had e1
amined $4,000 repatriated children
coming through Evlan in the past six
months and altogether had come into
touch with 10000 French children.

in this part of the country for many
years will be in Newport News to-
day when the Democratic Convention

anticipated that the contest will be
