WELFARE EXHIBIT
Miss Jane Adams and DIR.
J. Ross Snyder Principal
Speakers at Yester-
days Exhibit

With the attendance increasing daily.
the executive committee of the child
welfare exhibit, now being held in the
old Saks store. is decidedly optimistic
over the results which will be accom-
plished in the way of education by the
end OF the week. Eleven hundred people
attended the exhibit by actual count yes
terday.
Nearly everyone commented favorably
on the lessons learned IF Mrs. Bernet
could have seen this exhibit few
months back, her baby would be alive to-
day., remarked one Of the onlookers.
Miss Jane Adams was one of the prin-
cipal speakers of the afternoon. .It is
very possible to save every baby's life,
II we are sufficiently interested in it,"
she said Sometimes people do not have
the knowledge at hand that would helm.
and therefore it is not always their fault
that the little loved ones die Brming-
ham mothers have the opportunity to
learn how to better care for their babies
this week. and l am glad to see the ex-
hibit here.
1t is quite surprising to see how slow
women are to learn how to do their
OASSoe SSNoPdtiOH right IL Iley take
the lessons conveyed by this exhibit to
heart, I am quite certain the death date
will be speedily controlled in Birming-

FOUR KINDS OF MOTHERS
DR.. J. Ross Snyder grouped mothers
into four classes, the irresponsible, who
do not wish to be botnered with children
and neglect them; the overanxious moth
err who Is too particular about her child
and does not give the little fellow a
chance; the safe and sane mother, who
is the happy medium between the other
two and usually raises her children to
be successful men and women, and the
ignorant mothers-Smothers who may be
we'll educated in other lines, but know
absolutely nothing about the care Of
babies
1t is with this last class of mothers
that DR.. Snyder believes the greatest
good can be accomplished by means of
education. 1T seems to me-" he said
that we ought to start child conserva-
ton by training future mothers.
Mrs. r. Dupont Thompson, president of
the women's civic board, spoke on food
legislation and ineffective health laws
Mrs. L. J. Haley was chairman of the
day, which was devoted mainly to health
subjects.

Are Avlators Rorn2

"There was time when it was held
that man must be especially born for
aeronautic duties" writes Henry
Woodhouse, vice president of the
Aerial League of America, in Every
body's.
Experience had brought out the
fact that the average young man
can make an excellent aviator. Cap
tain Guynemer, Major Bishop. Cap
tain William Thaw, Captain Ball Of
the Lafayette escadrille, and practical
ly all the famous aviators were not
men who impressed anybody with be-
ing different from other young men.
"Of the thousands of allied aviators
there are probably not 500 men who
had seen more than a few months Of
military service before joining the air
service. Most Of them had never seen
any military service.
"In planning an organization for
the selection and training Of aviators,
the aircraft board and signal corps Of
the United States have had to prepare
to deal entirely with men who had
never seen military service, as other
countries have done"
