 In obedience to the mans words she rose to her feet and followed at his heels as he led the way to the street In si- lence they approached the square. and
 it was not until they had reached an
 open space at the intersection of two paths, well out of hearing of anyone who might be listening, that he paused and related what had taken place between himself and the master hand Nof Larkin's gang. Frances listened in open-eye astonish-

 During the meal that followed they laughed together over the girls adven- ture in the garage. Once back on the street., Ballin led the way across town to the Third Avenue Elevated, where they took a train for Hester street.
 Their destination proved to be rather dirty little candy store next door to the corner of one of the most crowded .congested streets in the world.

 There was nothing to single the place out from others of it's kind. A counter at the front of the store held a series of different colored bottles flavoring for tes sodas which were served from a dingy "foUntain" that was set back against the wall. Next came a still more dingy glass case, harboring an evil-looking as sortment of candy arranged in dirty glass trays.

BABY CHAMPIONS USED IN PROHIBITION
 FIGHT IN, ENGLAND
Dr. Salleby Tells Some Unpleasant Truths to British Mothers Who
 Are Addicted to Drink

London, February 1.--(Reciprocal News Service )-It will not be the fault of the mothers and. the doctors of England if this country does not follow the United States along the path of. prohibition On the day America went dry meetings were held in countless infant welfare centers all oyer England where prayers were offered for the speedy conversion of this country, and the doctors who have been most instrumental in promoting the great Baby Week Council, borrowed it must be remembered from America, have been Busy these last three months speaking and writing about the evil effects of alcohol
 Dr. c. w. saleby, chairman of the National Bfrthrate Commission, immedi- ately on his return from America where he has been to consult our ChIldrens Bureau in Washington, began a course of lectures on the effects of alcoholism on infant life. and although at first the papers refused to pay attention to what he was saying, they had to take notice when he made the appalling statement that during the first quarter of 1919 the infant death rate in this country was 149 per thousand.
 He has told the British beer-drinkins mother some ugly truths. but doctor that
  Tn this case it is prohibition.
 Doctor Saleeby stated that in the old days when liquor was uncontrolled in England, the average number of babies who were s"overlaid' Cthat is smothered by their drunken mothers by mistake) was four per night. It was always after a Bank Holiday or at Christmas that these smotherings were most frequent, but every Saturday night showed good Iy crop of them. In 1918 after the estab- lishment of the Liquor Control Board infant deaths from this cause were re- duced from 26 to r perl cent of the whole.
 Doctor sa1eebyspoints proudly to Ameri- ca, where mothers do not "overlay" their babies We do not have our newborn babies to sleep in their mothers beds, so we have gone two steps beyond this mediaeval custom. We should consider it too dangerous to have baby in bed at all. let alone having one in bed with a drink-sodden mother.
 That alcohol intoxicates or poisons the garm plasm in both sexes is too we'll tor Safeeby did make something of a stir when he declared that it was not the low wages of the miners that is re- sponsible for the high infant mortality among them the highest in the country. Doctor Saleeby said it is because the greater part of the wages, whatever they are. are spent in drink by both men and women. Of course, Doctor Saleeby points out that the miners drink to dull their perceptions of their degraded surround ings, but he declares that if drink is re- moved from their reach they will right their own wrongs.
