born, 81 died under one year Of age.
That is how we arrive at what ia
called the infant mortality rate - the
proportion of deaths under one year
of age to each one thousand living
births. 1t is the measure by which
health officers and others interested
take note of the progress Of baby

they would just as soon as they had

Ted. 81 am glad you have spoken Of
the World Club, because the first
meeting has just come to an end at
Geneva, Switzerland The members
met on November 18th and elected one
Of the Belgian delegates as presiding
officer. Then the discussions began,
and such a time as they have had of
1t! Almost everyone who spoke found
some fault with the covenant, which
they were all sworn to obey, and
either urged some change in 1t to suit
the special interest of his country or
else refused to be longer bound by its
terms. am just going to review brief
ly what happened at the meeting, as
1t proves the wisdom of our own Re-
publican Senators who said that the
world peace club was reall world
war club, and predicted that the mem
bers never could act together when it
meant the surrender of any selfish in
terest.
THE meeting had been in session
only three days when 1t was voted to
organize q World Club Army, COM
posed of soldiers from England,
France, Belgium, and Spain, and send
1t to a place called Wilma in the midst
fthe bloody uprisings in Russia to
keep order while the people of the city
voted as to whether they Should be-

peace about that will interfere at all
with its own welfare. There is a
bright spot, however, when we see our
own country free from it all. The Re-
publicans of our Senate had the cour-
age to tell the world openly that their
first concern was for their own coun-
try and they would enter no club plan
that would interfere with that duty

almost the last things that were said
were some hot words passed between
the English delegate and the repre-
sentatives from some fthe smaller
nations.
Dome of the features Of the World
Club plan called upon all members to
stop raising armies and building bat
tleships, yet one Of the Belgian delee-
gates, who is parcifist, said that he
did not believe In such a policy, and
urged that the World Club appoint
general stag of military men to study
the best ways to wage war. He said
he was convinced the World Club
would have to compel obedience to
its commands by force of arms.
Which, of course, is exactly what Re-
publican Senators predicted would be
the case.
Some of the members of the World
Club did not take part. in the Great
War, bu they did sign the club plan
which, in effect, provides that all
members shall assist in enforcing the
treaty by which the war was ended.
Those neutral members protest
against taking part in that enforce
ment, but of course they have signed
the plan and their complaints are too
late. All they can do now Is to grum-
BILE and obey the orders of the other
members"
Didn't the meeting do anything at
all except quarred," anxiously inquir-
ed Ruth. 81 should think that at least
one man in a peace meeting of that
kind would have tried to smile and
make people feel happy"
81 should think so, too" agreed
Uncle Ted, "but, so far as have been
able to learn, every day brought up
something new to kindle the anger of
the delegates and make even more
remote the chance Of doing anything
for world peace. For instance. the
day after the last incident of which
spoke, one of the club committees
reported that no changes would be
made in the club plan. Several men,
bers had urged certain amendments
that their countries earnestly desired
to have adopted. and when they were
all turned down there was great dis
satisfaction. One delegate, the man
from Argentina, was so angry that he
went home.
"You remember, children, that Pres
ident Wilson said that the heart Of the
world club plan was the paragraph
that says every member shall protect
the territory Of every other member
The fight against that provision, more
than any other, was what defeated the
plan in the United States, and it is
against that very provision that the
members at Geneva were loudest in
complaint. Denmark said she would
not send an army for such a purpose
unless her parliament expressly gave
permission, and it is certain that thu
paragraph can never be enforced il
the way President Wilson wanted it.
There is one thing, however, tina
all the forty or more members of thu
World Club were agreed on. And tina
was that the United States should be
come a member of the Club, and, a
one man expressed it, make the ghos
walk In plain language that mean
that they want this country to come il
