Churches to Open
City's Baby-Savi11g
Campaign Sunday
Children's Day to Launch
Effort by Mayors Com
mittee of Women

Next Sunday has been designated as
Children's Day and the Children's Year
Committee of the Mayors Committee
of Women on National Defence has
appealed to clergymcn Of the city to
tell their congregations of the commit
tees aims and to urge cooperation.
"Children's Year" is coincident with
the United States's second year of war,
which began on April o. 1917. The OBJ
jcct to be attained before the nation
enters it's third year Of the conflict is
the saving of the lives of 100000 in
fants under five years old. Estimates
based on the census reports of 1910
show that 300 900 babies die every year
in the United States. Physicians agree
that one third of the deaths are pre-
ventablc The object of the New York
committee and of hundreds of similar
bodies throughout the country is to
eliminate the preventable deaths. New
York's quota is 4,700.
One of the necessary preliminaries is
to weigh, measure and examine all of
the 1000 children under five years
old in the city This may be done
either by private physicians or at the
hundreds of clinics which the commit
tee has established.
Districts Being Canvassed
District canvassers are being sent
out and the aid of physicians, nurses,
settlements, neighborhood associations,
nurseries, war service organizations
and public health authorities has been
enlisted.
From 500 to 1000 volunteers still are
needed for the work Applicants should
enroll with the committee on volun-
teers on the twenty second floor of the
Times Building from 2 to p. m. on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The campaign has been indorsed by
President Wilson, Newton D. Baker,
Secretary of War, and Josephus Dan
iels. Secretary of the Navy, as war
measure and work of humanity.
Already the evil of decreasing births
and increasing infant mortality which
follows in the wake Of war and is in
tensified to an alarming degree in Ger
country. The Mayors Committee of
Women on National Defence is author
ity for the statement that ain New
York City the birth rate already is
much lower than it was last year, the
baby death rate is hipher and children
of pre- school and school age have been
found to be suffering from under-nour-
ishmcnt."
Instruction for Mothers
One of the most important features of
the campaign is the instruction and care
of eXpectant mothers, as 40 per cent Of
all the deaths Of babies before reaching
the age of one year are due to causes
dependent upon the health Of the
mother before the birth of the child.
Infant care, examination and follow
up work are the other main features
Of the plan, the success Of which is de-
pendent to a large extent upon the
realization by the public of the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation and the sim
certify of the workers engaged in rem
edying it.
For good measure. the committee
hopes to save the lives of 4,76S babies
in New York, decreasing the number
Of infant deaths in Manhattan by 2,2l9;
in The Bronx, by 439; in Brooklyn, by
1926; in Queens, by 3o2, and in Rich

Immediately get busy on the recruits
and trade these for Woodbines or
Goldfiakes. A recruit only has to be
stuck once in this manner, and then
he ceases to be a recruit. There is a
reason. Tommy is a great cigarette
smoker. He smokes under all condI-
tions, except when unconscious or
when he is reconnoitering in No Mans
land at night. Then, for obvious rea-
sons, he does not care to have u
lighted cigarette in his mouth.

water-plenty of water. There is
great competition among the men to
spear with their forks the two lonely
potatoes.
After dinner tried to wash out the
dixie with cold water and a rag, and
learned another maxim of the
trenches-'it can't be done" I slyly
watched one of the older men from
another section, and was Mortified to
see him throw into his dixie four or
five double handfuls of mud. Then
he poured in some water, and with
his hands secured the dixie inside and
out. I thought he was taking an aw-
full risk. Supposing the cook should
see him. After half an hour of un.
successful efforts, 1 returned my dixie
to the cook shack, being careful to
put on the cover, and returned to'my
billet. Pretty soon the cook poked
his head In the door and shouted:
Hey, Yank, come out here and clean
your dixie" I protested that had
wasted a half-hour on it already, and
had used up my only remaining shirt
in the attempt. With a look of dis
dain. he exclaimed: BLOW me, your
shirt! Why in ell didn't you use
mudn
Without word in reply I got busy
with the mud. and soon my dixie was
bright and shining.
Most of the afternoon was spent by
the men writing letters home. I used
my spare time to chop wood for the
cook, and go with the quartermaster
to draw coal. 1 got back just in time
to issue a third meal, which consisted
of hot tea. I rinsed out my dixie
and returned it to the cookhouse, and
went back to the billet with an ex-
hilarated feeling that my days labor
was done. had fallen asleep on the
straw when once again the cook ap-
peared in the door of the billet with:
''Blime me. you Yanlls are lazy. Who
in ellis a'goin' to draw the water for
the mornin' tea? Do you think I'm
a'goin' to? Well, I'm not" and he
left. I filled the dixie with water
from an old squeaking well, and once
again lay down in the straw.

RIVER ice DAMAGE
Little Trouble Expected from Floes

su S5 King Street


Alexandria, Va, Feb. I3.-There was
no damage done here by the going
away of the ice. which started on
its journey early this morning To-
day the river channel was compare
lively clear of ice. except small par
ticles carried down by the tide.
There is. however, ice in the docks
and creeks nearby and also on the
fats on Alexandria.
Some fear was at first expressed
by persons that probably damage
would be done to the wharves and
two bridges, but such was not the
case. There was no gorge, a was
anticipated by many.
River men stated that the bridge
Of the washington Railway
Company. which is a wooden struo-
ture half a mile long. extending from
the south end of Royal street to
New Alexandria, Is too far distant
from the channel to be damaged, as
also is Hunting Creek Bridge, a quar-
ter OF a mile west of II, the lat
ter being q trafic bridge.
The officials OF the electric railway
company stated today that they did
not anticipate any trouble as a re-
suit Of the going away OF the ice.
A few small boats docked at the
wharves around here were sunk, but
not seriously damaged.
A burglar Monday night broke
into the gentlemen's furnishing
store conducted by Downham and
Ridgely. southeast corner of King
and Pitt streets. and stole merchan-
disc valued at 5000. Entrance was
AFFECTED by breaking the glass panel
in the rear door.
The burglar carried away over

cles, together with between IS and
$40 from the cash register.
