French Deaths

The announcement o. the French
minister OF labor that the deaths In
France last year. excluding the In
vaded districts. exceeded the births
by more than 100000. demonstrates
that the defamation Of the popula-
ton did not end with the war.
The birth rate in France has long
concerned those who have given
thought 20 the future o. the nation
The losses sustained on the battle
field. coupled with the wide adverse
differences between the births and
the deaths, must show an ALARMING
decrease IN population. though
births were greater by 5000 than
In 1918. II Is probable that the
deaths were increased over what
might be expected normally by sur
vivors OF the war succumbing -
wounds or disease contracted IN the
service Unless the conditions are
reversed the future is hopeless.
However. IL must be considered
that this condition is abnormal.
though IL would be less alarming
had not the birth rate for years

France cannot fully rehabilitate her
self and regain her place as great
power unless her population IN
creases. In contrast with Us she
does not gain heavily from imigra-
ton. Her increase must come from

Of Child Refuge
BY Markham Thurston.

The placing Of children in private
homes instead Of institutions when
their parents are dead or unable to
care for them increases in popular
ity. In one city where the practice
has been growing, it has been
found that twice as many children
are being cared for annually as
could be when they had 10 be
housed in institutions.
There are three classes Of homes
sought for these friendleSs little
ones. First, the wealthy home
where people wish 10 adopt the
child outright. Second, the well-tO-
do which takes the children with
out assuming the obligations of ad-
option, but gives the child the bene-
fit of home training and schooling
until he is old enough to shift for
himself. The third is the home
where all the other qualifications
for the proper training of the child
are present but the funds are lack
ing 10 take care OF the extra bur
den. In such cases a small fee, suf-
ficient to pay the expenses of the
child, is allowed to the family. In
no case is a child placed with any
household which is not entirely self
supporting so far as its own mem
bers are concerned.
1t is a pleasant commentary on
the kindness of the world that this
work is progressing satisfactorily.
No institution can give the child
what he gets even in the plainest
home life, and il is hoped that as
the facts are better understood the
orphanage will vanish in a world Of
kindly homes.

Worship Houses
Urged On Public
As Fire Fighters
By Vivian West.

Building a house like a battle
ship" is advocated by a writer in
the American Lum berman, as
means OF protection against fire.
The battleship, the writer points
out, is not equally armOuced all
over. The most vulnerable points
receive the highest protection. Just
so, he argues, a house may be safe
~ constructed mostly of wood, if
fire-restrictive nav miami mfamad
fire-resistive materials are used at
points where the dwelling IS most
liable 10 attack by the flames. He
advocates especially the use OF
metal lath and non-combustible
building.
I'm the home" he writes, AL
bearing partitions and stud exter-
iors, walls, the ceiling under inhab-
tied floors, especially over heating
plants and coal bins, at chimney
breasts, around flues and back OF
kitchen ranges, stair wells and
under stairs, need special attention.
Their protection with metal lath
means that q home of frame can be
made adequately fre-safe."
AS an added protection the use Of
baskets bent out Of metal lath and
filled with cement may be used TO
occupy spaces between studding at
'the juncture OF walls and floor
joists to prevent these spaces from
acting like flues if fire should start.
A frame house built in this man
ner he finds to be attractive, eco
nomiCal and economically fire
proOfed," and suited either for SUI
burban or town purposes.
The burning of a house is al
ways a serious matter, often it is at
tended with fatalities. Hundreds Of
millions of dollars of property. and
an average of $4,000 lives is the an
nual fire toll in the United States.
More houses built like battleships
will reduce this waste and add inn
measurably to human safety and
happiness.
