Y. M. G. A. Notes

The new Athletic field recent
ly purchased was dedicated, or
the first game of baseball to
be played on the grounds, was
a real exhibition of the game,
last Saturday between the "Y"
Juniors and the Convent team.
The latter winning by a score
of 8 to 7 and was an even game
all the way thru to the final.
There was some real baseball
playing with both teams; the
"Y" battery, Melcher and Will
son held them down for the
nine innings and did splendid
service, while it took two pitch
ers and two catchers, Tracy &
Latourneau in the box for the
opponents. Of the "Y" team,
VIM. Lawrence and Henry Cos
ley did a real stunt at the
school grounds Tuesday morn
ing, while playing ball, both
were trying to get the same fly
ball and only one round was
necessary for both came out
with black eyes and are now
wearing patch over their eyes
and yet they missed the fly.

STATE LOSES $4,000, 900.
Health Department Calculates This In
the Matter Of Deaths.

The current issue pf the Delaware
Health News saws:
4 careful examination Of the records
filed i'm the Bureau of Vital Statistics at
Dover during the past four years has just
been completed and serious shortage III
the assets of the State has been disclosed.
While il was well known that the death
rate i'm Delaware had been excessively
high for several wears the exact figures
have not been available heretofore. This
investigation shows that during the year
1916 there were 730 more deaths than
there would have been If the average death
rate of the entire country had not been
exceeded; during 1917 there were 500
more deaths. during 1918 there were lZ5o
more deaths and during 1919 there were
$50 more deaths This makes grand total
Of 3130 deaths that would not have oc-
Cured if Delaware had been up To the
average for the country in health and
sanitation.
Leaving aside all questions of suffering
grief sentiment etc. let us consider what
this loss means to the State financially.
\ state is great according to its achieve
ments. it's assets. its population and the
health and comfort of the people.
State cannot rise to greatness unless ITS
citizens are well and able TO produce
wealth for the State Without popula-
ton no community has value The citi-
ycns then are the greatest asset oi the state
and each citizen saved from premature
death is a gam for the State. II person
is killed in railroad wreck his llie IS
usually valued at $1,000 The value is
about the same in various forms oi m

should he as much. There Is n tremendous
loss il a person is permitted to die un-
necessarily Just rs he is about to enter
upon his productive work, rs the entire

To learn of those things which have been
the very foundations upon which We have
