There Is nothing brutal In boxing
conducted properly. A punch on tn
nose, bringing blood, is not necesssr-
lily brutal.
The lingo OF the professional ring
Is far bloodier than what takes place
within the squared circle. A rirE
contest between Johnny Dundee, y
notoriously light hitter. and Benny
Leonard, the worlds champion, could
not be brutal. Leonard Is so con-
structed mentally that he would not,
use brutality. II the occasion arose.
Dundee would hardly put the cham
pion in such a condition as to be able
to show any possible brutality he
may have In his makeup.
Even IL Dundee were knocked out
that would not be brutal. although
many of the unsophisticatcd believe
II Is. We have been knocked out our
selves, though not in the ring. and
we confess to have experienced no
Ill results. 1t happened in football.

out any harm.

JOHN BULL PAYS FOR HEALTHY
BABIES

John Bull believe that healthy babies
make strong men and is willing to pay
for them. In 1918 grants made by the ma
tional overrNment in support of infant
welfare work in England and Wales am
ounted to about 81, 10000, which repre-
sents one half of approved expenditure
for welfare centers, Health visitors
maternity care and similar work for
mothers and children.
The number of health centers increas-
ed from $50 in 1917 to 1850 in June, 1919,
over one half of them supported entirely
by public funds. Attendance at the cer-
tiers has also shown a phenomenal in.
crease. One center in Gloucester, which
in 1918 received 263 expectant mothers
had 932 on its rolls in 1919.
AS result it is thought, Of public pro-
lection of maternity and infancy, the III
FAINT mortality rate for England and
Wales for 1918 is 81.
The 1918 infant mortality rate for the
u. S. birth registration area, Just pub
lished, is 101, points higher than TIE
rate for the preceding year.
Childen's bureau investigations have
shown that Uncle Sans babies die be-
cause they and their mothers do not have
skilled care. Until such care is made avail
able, as in England, for all women in all
parts Of the country, regardless OF econ
G2nic standing, no great decline in the IN
FAINT mortality rate may be expected.
