Reports from cities throughout the
country showed a general increase in
births during the first two months of
this year, compared with the correspond
ing period of last year. This increase
was practically uniform in all sections.
Milwaukee and Seattle were the only
places to report 4 decrease.
Adoptions, wherever figures were avail
able, generally showed even a greater
ratio Of increase than births. Many
cities reported a commensurate decrease
in the number of babies abandoned by
their parents. The desire of mothers
who can not support their babies to
assure them of a good home rather than
trust to the comparative uncertainty Of
an institution has been evinced through
several instances of babies being "auc-

1t was the opinion of city officials to-
day that the hospital must be main

would give assistance to the city in this
matter
The estimated income for the board
