sToRk GETS ON JOB
frances Birth Rate Shows Some
Improvement.
Sarlous Decline In 1918 from Yer Be-
fore tho War Was Cause
Of Alarm.

Paris.-France's declining birth rate
has lately been source of much con-
Germ, but a distinct improvement has
been noticed during the present
month.
Evidence Of a great decline in births
in 1918 was shown in official figures
for the district Of the Seine, which
includes the city of Paris, which
showed that there are only 43,48O
births registered in that district in
1918, as compared to the 1850 in
1911.
The infantile death rate given by
statisticians is 40 per cent, as COM
pared to 10 per cent before the war.
This has been attributed to the scar
city Of wet nurses and poor quality
and shortage of milk for bottle-fed
babies. The shortage is said to be
due to the tremendous increase in
cheese making, especially in Nor
mandy. III i%::2,, -.
3%s However, all the maternity hospi-
tails in Paris reported increased births
thus far the present month. = In one
hospital the Number doubled those Of
last year, and 1t is declared that ba-
bies are remarkable for size, weight
and general health.
A new periodical entitled Marriage
has just appeared. It announces that
it will devote itself to the question o:
the repopulation Of France, which is
generally recognized to be one Of the
most urgent problems Of the day. It
asks its readers, what means should
be adopted to combat the present mat
rimonial crisis In France?"

uNaURlED CHINESE BABIES.

1t is not an uncommon sight to
Gee the unburied bodies Of dead Chi
nese infants. They are cast away to
save the expense Of buryiny. it is
said. Another reason, and probably
the more potent one, is that there is
\ deep-rooted superstition among the
Chinese that the death of a baby
arises out of punishment to its soul
for sins committed in previous
state of existence. It is, therefore,
an accursed creature whose coffin no
one will follow. Therefore, babies
are often laid down by the roadside
to breathe their last. By thus not
allowing them to die in the house,
the parents will not allow the wicked
spirits into which the babies turn to
live under the same roof with them.
