RECORD BABY CLINIC
Twenty-Three Infants Registered al
City Hall in One Day.

The baby clinic held Thursday at
the city building, according to Mrs. c.
c. Bailey, supervisor of the Public
Health Nursing association, was one
Of the best attended for some time.
Twenty-three babies were weighed
and measured. and their records sent
to Washington in accordance with a
request from the government.
The children's bureau of the United
States department of labor works in
collaboration with the department of
child welfare of the woman's defense
council of national defense in obtain
ing these records and establishing
what is known as children's year,
which extends from April 6, 1918, to
April 6. 1919.
Besides the records the government
desires the plan has advantages of con-
siderable Importance to the women
and babies. The clinics are held on
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons of
each week. They are in no way con-
test and no effort is made to establish
the emminence of any particular baby
as the best all around youngster of
any, the aim being to weigh and meas
ure- the child according to tables is
sued by the government based on the
records of 1000 babies which will in
dictate to the mother how her child
stands on an average.
According to Mrs. Bailey, the weigh
ing and measuring tests are the best
known methods of ascertaining how
near child approaches normal con-
dition as shown in the charts. AZ
ter learning how the child checks up
with the figures shown for a normal
child the mothers are advised and
taught the best methods Of caring fol-
the children.
The hot weather has tended to cut
down the attendance at these clinics.
When It is not possible for a mother
to bring her child to the clinics,
nurses from the association will call
and make the tests in the home.
The movement, in line with the
other phases of u'a- work, has the
definite aim of establishing methods
which besides keeping records of all
the children born will save the lives
of thousands of children thru ex-
perienced and scientific instruction.

BLAMES AMERICA
Won Hintze Says q. S. War
Craze Prevents Peace.
Declares Entente Shows Little
Inclination to Peace.

Amsterdam, Aug. Recommending
on the recent interview given by Ad-
miral Won Hintze, the German foreign
secretary, in which he laid responsible
ity for continuation Of the war upon
the entente the Frankfort Gazette
says:
I'VE must continue the hard and.
bitter struggle for the defense of the
fatherland, for our enemies show lit
tie inclination for peace, and neither
from Lloyd George nor Clemenceau
is readiness for an understanding
to be expected.
THE daily increasing influence of
America upon the entente is still
of greater importance. Any sign of
desire for an understanding on the
part Of the European allies is coun-
ter-balanced by the war craze of the
United States. In such circumstances
there Is nothing to be done but to re-
press all premature hopes and arm
ourselves with courage and perse-
verance for the next DEVELOPMENTS"
