MOTHERS AND INFANTS
MORTALITY FIGURES PROVE
STARTLING NEED OF HYGIENic
MEASURES.

Catholic Women's organizations, it
is suggested, may find a field of use
fulness in combating conditions which
are held responsible for a large and
avoidable mortality among mothers
and infants.
The Children's Bureau of the De-
partment of Labor, in the course of
the last eighteen months. has made a
special study. of the subject, and in a
series, of publications has given nu.
merous facts concerning the number
of deaths attributable to the "acci.
dental diseases of maternity. Both
mothers and children are victims of
these conditions
Expert investigators of the Depart
ment of Labor estimate that in 1918
approximately $4,000 mothers died in
childbirth, and that the mortality
among babies less than twelve months
of age was, in the same year, nearly
250, 900.
Other countries report measurably
smaller death rates for mothers and
babies in childbirth. Expressing the
facts somewhat strikingly, the inyesti-
gators of the Department of Labor
point out that it is safer to be a
mother in any one of fourteen impor.
tant foreign countries than it is in the
United States, and babies have a bet.
ter prospect of life in seven foreign
lands than in this part of America.
In 269 of the principal cities of the
United States in 1919 a total of 686,525
births were registered and 60,013 in
fants died in their first year of life.
That is, for every 1000 babies born
alive 81 persisted before the expiration
of twelve months.

When men of modern times boast OF

may have been the difference in the

Chambers for Burial.
The burial chambers OF the Gaia
combs are highly interesting and in

throw upon the period. These opened
to right and left along the passages
The way in which they were hewr

the difficulties which were overcome
by the workmen of the Catacombs
In the side walls of the galleries were
found horizontal tiers of graves, risins
from the floor to the ceiling.
Very striking were the ways in
which provision was made for obtain
ing light and fresh air. Shafts, OF
'luminaria," constructions much like
chimneys, were cut through the sol
to the surface of the ground. These
'luminaria' were seldom to be found
before the fourth century. It was
at that time that the great numbers
of the faithful who attended religious
services in the Catacombs on feast
days of martyrs made necessary such
precautions in the interest of health.
The student who would trace the
word cemetery" back through its
origin finds much of interest in the
days Of the Catacombs. The early
Christian name for these places Of
burial was "coemeterium,'' which
meant 'place of rest" In the Mid
die Ages, at time when the recol
lection of the Catacombs had disap

Church of ST. Sebastian on the Via

ecclesiastical and civil personages.
This ceremony took place in the Ma

Colombia the distinction of being the
first nation to consecrate itself, in pur-

CITIZENS OF UTICA
HONOR CATHOLIC WELFARE
COUNClL-cALL UPON IT TO

HOUSES.
+. (By, N. G.. w. G.. News Service)

Probably the most notable indorse-
ment the National Catholic Welfare
Council has received was that given
to the organization at Utica, N. Y,
last Monday evening on the occasion
of the formal dedication of several
community houses which were recent
ly acquired and equipped from fund
of $25O,O0O subscribed by business
men of the city, without regard to re-
ligious creed, and placed in charge of
the Council.
Mayor JAMES J. O'Connor attended
the exercises, which were held in the
little theater which is part of the com
munity group and addressed the large
gathering of business and professional
men who were gathered there. Mr..
George E. Durham, editor of the Utica
Press, presided.
In his speech Mayor O'Connor said
that Utica welcomed the work which
the Welfare Council, has undertaken
there, and appealed to the citizens TO
give it their support. What had thus
far been accomplished was in every
way equal to the work done by the
Y. M. G.. A. and the Y. w. C. A., Mayor
O'Connor said He mentioned the inn
provement he had noted in the de-
meanor of men and youth in Utica
since the opening of the mems and
boys clubs of the community He had
observed them going to those clubs in
stead of lettering in pool rooms and
on the streets.

JEWISH PURCHASES OF PALEs-
TINE LAND DISTURB CHRIS
TRANSFORMERS AND JEWS.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
e The methods of the Zionists to
acquire land in Palestine, which were
vigorously denounced by Cardinal
Bourne a short time ago, show no
signs of slackening whatever. It will
be remembered that the Cardinal,
quoting from letters he had received
from persons resident in Palestine,
said that the Zionists we're buying up
the land from the Palestinians. who
are forced to sell on account Of their
poverty, and that the deeds of trans
fer are so drawn up that the land
passes into the possession Of Zionists
in perpetuity.
The Jewish banks, which lend
money to the Zionists at a rate Of in
terest less than one-third Of the rate
charged to Christians and Moslems,
give the Zionists considerable advan-
tage in the matter Of land purchase,
But they are also being helped by
large donations, given for this purpose
by members Of their faith. An in
stance Of this kind has Just occurred,

A wealthy Jew Of Bagdad, one Ezra
Sassom, has just handed over to the
Jewish National Fund sum of more
than $4,000 dollars. The money is to
be devoted strictly for the purchase
Of land in Palestine, which is to be.
come the inalienable property Of the
Jewish people, and to be used solely
for the settlement of Jewish colonists.
In other words, the money will go
toward helping bring about the Jewish
domination which is causing so much
anxiety in the minds of Christians
throughout the world.

sAGEs AND CHAMBERS THROWS
LIGHT ON WAYS OF FAITHFUL
IN ANCIENT DAYS. Ri

A study of the Roman Catacombs
discloses interesting information OF
the way in which early Christians
buried their dead and worshipped
God, says the Pilot The burial cham.
bers which an inspection of the ia.
nous underground rooms reveals are
of themselves rich in interest for the
ion alike, while the tiers of graves,
the extent of galleries and the means
taken to give light and fresh air to
the chambers furnish much light on
the life of the period. ISL
1t may be borne in mind that from
early times the lowest layer of soil
in the region in which the Catacombs
were developed was worked as a
stone quarry. In the lowest and up
permost strata of the soil were found
irregularly dug galleries. 1t was at
one time thought that the early
Christians made use of these galleries
as places of burial for the dead.
AS to the precise position of the
underground chambers in the soil, il
may be said that all the Catacombs
were laid out in the middle stratum
of "tufa," from which no building
material was obtained. The manner
of building of the Catacombs is a
study in itself. They were entirely OF
Christian construction. Generally a
stairway led below the surface to a
depth of from thirty-five to forty-nine
feet, or more. From this point gal
leries diverged, which were from ten
to thirteen feet high. They are found
to have been seldom broader than
would be necessary to enable two
grave-diggers, one behind the other
to carry bier through them.
Complex Construction.
Some idea of the completely of the
construction of the Catacombs may be
gained from view of the netWofk
of passages which were to be found
in this historic system. There were
side galleries which branched out
from the main galleries, intersecting
other passages. Still further, from
this level, steps led down. to lower
levels STILL At that point there was
second network of galleries. In
deed there were CatacOmbs with three
