 Baby week was inaugurated by Chicago
 in 1914 and a second baby week celebrated
 in New York city in June of the same
 year. Baby week has been the means
 of launching so much of permanent good
 to the baby, it has proven unexpected
 popular throughout the nation. Thou
 sands of committees of women have just
 completed a full year of concerted ac-
 tivity in which millions of women united
 in a crusade unconcerned with politics,
 religion or race, yet vital to the estab- lishment of sturdy civilization-the con- servation of American child power.
 In speaking of the activity of the wo- men in this great cause, Mrs. Ina N. Perkins, of Michigan, one of the national leaders in the child welfare movement, said: q like to think of it as the en- listment of a tremendous army of women who have clasped hands around the country in an invincible band, for the protection of the children in their care. The interest in decreasing the scope ot infant mortality is worldwide and 3l it's partial solution, at least, depends the welfare of posterity. This study has shown that 13 out of every 100 babies born throughout the civilized world, on the broadest averages, leave more or less permanent stamps on perhaps two or three times as many more babies who somehow manage to crawl over the in fant deadline. It was formerly believed that the rate of mortality among children who had not reached the first annlvers- ary of their birth was a wise dlspensa- ton of nature, intended to prevent chll-

How fn Ennl a Seal

Nilhjalmar Stefansson in Harper's Mag
 azine
 wolf can see you under favorable con- ditions a little more than half a mile away; caribou at a little more than quarter of mile; and a seal commonly at about 200 yards if you are standing up, or l50 to 200 yards if you are lying down. You can walk unconcernedly toward a seal until less than 400 yards away, after which you begin a careful approach. You crawl ahead on all-fours while he sleeps, and you lie flat and motionless while he is awake. It might seem that something could be gained by wearing white cloth ing to match the snow, but this is the re- verse of wisdom, for the seals one enemy that he fears is the polar bear and the polar bear is white. If seal sees any thing that is suspicious and white, he takes discretion to be the better part of valor and dives promptly into his hole. If the suspicious object is black, he as- sumes that it is probably another seal that has come out of another hole to bask in the sun. It is therefore the task of the hunter to simulate a seal.
 When the seal first sees you his actions are unmistakab1e. He turns so as to face you directly: he raises his head. a trifle higher than before and instead of bend- ing his neck to survey the complete hori- zon, he looks at you steadily and intent ly You must be careful that his first view of you shall be a broadside view, for man lying flat resembles a seal most in that position. It is best to lie still with ones head on the ice for about half minute; but G1e seal knows the habits of his own kind as well as the careful hunter knows them, and if you were to lie motionless for more than a minute at time he would strongly suspect that you are not a seal, and in two min utes he would probably be convinced and would go into the water. It is neces- sary, therefore, after about half min ute of quiescence, to raise your head seal fashion F or 15 inches above the ice, keep it there about eight or 10 seconds, and drop it on the ice again. By the time this has been repeated three or four times the seal is commonly convinced that you are one of his kind and will be- gin again to take his interrupted maps. If he is more suspicious than ordinary, it may be advisable to move your feet little as well. Like many other animals, a seal is commonly lousy, and scratches frequently with his hind flippers If a man lying flat flexes his legs from the knee, the motion is similar to that of a seal scratching with his hind flippers. These tactics nearly always convince the most skeptical seal, and when once his regular maps are resumed you move ahead snakewise while he sleeps, and play seal
 whenever he is awake, watching you. In the summer time the creeping ap- pr oach is disagreeable IS well tedious, for then the surface of the ice is cov- cred with ponds of water, from a few inches to as much as a foot and a half in depth, and you have to advance through these without splashing and without any unSea1-like movements. which means that

your mode of locomotion through the water as well as over the ice has to be that of a snake. But if you are careful and make no splashes, and if the wind is strong enough to prevent the seals hearing you distinctly and not strong enough to flap your clothing, you can crawl near enough to a seal to take hold of one ofhis flippers with your left hand while you stab him with a knife with your right.
