to be possessed Of conspicuously large

The 1920 Baby Crop.
From the Toledo News.

From the Toledo News.
America stands to enjoy a bumper
baby crop in 1920. Figures gathered by
the American Child Hygiene Association
show that conservative estimates. ma
well place the number of youngsters
who have inherited the constitutional
right to be president of the United
States, during the current year at
$500, 000.i In official records collected
out Of 269 cities covered by the hygiene
association the total number Of births
actually accounted for numbers 100000.
These cities included communities Of
10000 or more.
Infant mortality has declined in
America to an average of 81 death for
every 1000 babies, which represents a
saving of at least IL, 600 babies over the
1918 rate and 1000 fewer deaths than in
1917. A decade ago, it is interesting to
observe, the national public health off,
Gals were struggling with all the power
and influence they possessed to get the
rate down to 100 per 1000 cables.

SOLITUDE.

L.. ). Muir, in the Utah Chronicle.
Give me the flowing river that
; runs between the pine clad shores!
Give me the babbling brook with
: it's ripping music! And you may
have the crowded streams Of COM
: merce that rush and toss between
7 the huge piles of granite.
= Give me the twinkling stars-the
: glow Of the silver moon! And a
: million electric torches that IL
: illuminate the great cities are
: yours.
! Give me the music of the wind
= swept trees! And keep your sym
= phonies. Give me the Following
= herd, the growing cock, the chirp
! of the new Matched brood! And
! your Carusos and McCormacks
+ will not be missed.
= Give me the joyous vision of the
i budding rose that fills the un-
i titled fields, the bluebells by the
i brook, the cowslip in the marshy
! bed! And you may have all n
i forced blooms, the result of mans
! effort to improve on the works
. Of God.
