Forty-iivc mothers brought their chill

Saturday afternoon Dr. Lcsne Smith,
child specialist OF Spartanburg, was
present and spoke to a number OF
mothers OH the care Of babies and
later examined several children. The
address Of DR.. Smith was given close
attention by the assembled mothers
and many questions were asked him
after he had concluded.
The Baby Health Conference was
one Of several conferences given over
the county under the auspices of the
Red Cross and which will be given
in other sections where they are de-
sired.
The object Of the conferences is to
to determine tho development and
present condition Of children brought
by their mothers for examination 1t
includes a careful physical cxamina-
ton Of each child, in which the child
is weighed. measured and compared
point by point, with what would be
normal for that child. In this way the
mother may see where she is failing,
where she is succeeding and how she
may secure better results
A Children's health conference is
not a contest or clinic. 1t is for the
great mass Of children who, though
apparently well, are rarely found with
out defects. The discovery OF such de-
fects at an early age when they may
be easily remidied, is the chief aim Of
the Conference.

No Demonstrations.

No Demonstrations.
There were no untoward demon
stratious outside the prison after the
news of MacSwincy's death became
generally known. A large force OF
police had been concentrated to put
down any disorder that might occur.
1t was said at the prison that the
reason for Withholding permission to
John MacSwiney to inform the dying
mans relatives of his conditions was
that 1t was in the prisoners interest.
Just before MacSwiney died, Father
Dominic and John MacSwiney knelt
at the bedside and offered up pray
ers. The priest administered the rites
Of extreme JUNCTION.
1t Is we'll within the possibilities
that the body will be taken to Cork
secretly in order to AVOID unpleasant
results frim whatever demonstrations
might be arranged in England and
Ireland along the route traversed by
train bearing the body. There is no
intimation that any official advocates
refusal to send it to Cork.
The home office in charge Of pris-
ons, which would control the move
ment Of the body in IEngland, said
that no plan for the removal of the
body had been officially considered
at the Irish office it was declared that
no plan had been formulated for the
transfer of the body to Ireland and
that final decision on this point would
rest solely with Dublin Caste.
1t is within the powers OF the home
office to give up the body Of a prison
cr in whatever way is deemed most
cXpedient. 1t is pointed out that it
could legally transfer the body in
secret to some out-of-the-way port
and later to government vessel and
deliver it at Cork.
