American Red Cross Infant Welfare Unit Plans
To Save Lives Of $4,000 French Babies in Year

Washington, May H. To save the
lives of at least fifty thousand French
babies this year is the hope of the
infant welfare unit of the American
Red cross now working four hum
dred strong in France, where the
death rate among infants is tremen-
dous, according to statements made
by DR.. William P. Lucas, chief of the
bureau, just returned to this country.
In America there is one physician
to every 500 people" said DR.. Lucas.
In France there is but one physician
to 5000 people, and l know of COM
munities where there is but one TO
10000 people. AS result the death
rate is enormous, and the birth rate
has fallen, as it has in each of the
belligerent countries.
THE infant mortality work has
several phases. One is directly
through our centres, where the public
comes for preventive work. France
was the first country that started pre-
ventive work for infants and has the
best organization, where the doctors
meet the mothers and children. But

gia utilities have reached a more or
less critical situation, finding that de-
mands for light and power have out
grown their capacity before adequate
provision could be made to meet such
demands.
"All of these conditions are now
contributing toward a reversal of the
tendencies of the recent past. Year
after year manufacturing costs were
being decreased and machinery of
greater efficiency was being built. The
companies were acquiring more Gus
toners and as whole favorable OPP
Grating conditions were reducing the
rates of local public utilities and their
service was becoming more and more
a matter of daily necessity. Within
the past year we md this tendency
reversed. Machinery costs more to
install and operating costs have ad-
vanced 1t seems unfortunate that the
ground gained must to some extent
be retraced. Where formerly the rates
filed with or approved by the Com
mission showed a healthy tendency
toward reductions, there are now al
most weekly requests for increases in
rate schedules
"Such applications for increases are
meeting with some opposition, al
though the corporations are appealing
to their customers and in some in
stances are securing their co-opera-
ton. The Commission carefully
scrutinizes each petition for increases
and to the best of its ability will see
to it that all of the burden increased

in indebtedness Of individuals for use
in payment Of war taxes next June.
Most o fthc certificates are Of ninety

Officials believe also that anticipation

interesting comparison with the pre-
