The aggressive child welfare work.
which was begun last Wednesday with
better baby conferences is being con
tinued throughout the week in many
sections of the state. and it is believed
that the thousands of physical exami-
nations of babies and children which
have been carried out will have a di.
rect influence upon sickness among
children and upon child mortality dur
ing the next six months.
During the past fifteen years the
span Of human life has been extended
fully six years. said Dr. c. St Clair
Drake, director of public health, in
an interview given out yesterday, and
there is every reason to believe that
by utilizing the knowledge we now
have there may be further extention
of life for a period of eight or nine
years" This does not mean that there
are more extremely old men and wom
en- in the nation. The increased aver
age in the length of lives has been
brought about largely by the proven
ton of infant mortality and by the
modern procedure of keeping well

full of tremendous possibilities. The
