City Child Has More Chance Than
 Country Cousin

New York, Jan. 30-The "poor lit tie child who has the misfortune to be born in a city has just five times as good a chance of reaching matur- ity as his country cousin, according to Dr. Thomas D. Wood of Teachers College, New York.
 Speaking before a teachers confer ence in Be1ivedere, N. J., yesterday Dr. Wood cited figures based on 2 survey of 500,000 children to support his contention. The figures showed country children to lead city chill dren in teeth defects, defective tonsils, adenoids, malnutrition and breathing defects.
 Ignorance, prejudice and lack of health supervision were given by Dr. Wood as the principal causes of poor health in the country.

and on the spot engaged Mr.. Stone
to paint all the other members Of
his family.
Together they travelled to Paris,
where Mr.. Stone painted the por-
trait of Adele, and to London, where
he painted the children, Billy and
Marion, for which. so pleased was
Mr.. Rosenwald with the completed
work, he received $500 in addition
to the price originally agreed upon.
He was in Munich when the Lusi-
tania was sunk, and, confident that
war with the United States must
follow, hastened to Berlin to learn
from the American Ambassador how
much, if any, time he might count
on to complete the paintings on
which he was engaged and the con-
tracts he had entered. To his sur
prise he found that Mr. Gerard an
ticipated no break with Germany.
On the contrary, he was assured
that he might not only complete
his contract, but safely make others.
Out of Germany
Half of this advice Mr.. Stone
took. He went back to Munich and
continued his work, but he made no
further engagements, and as speed
lily as possible adjusted his affairs
preparatory to leaving the country
at moments notice. When rela-
tions finally were broken he went
to Copenhagen and then to Stock
holm, where he remained to study
under Anders Zorn, the great Swed-
ish portrait painter, and where he
painted the portraits of Mrs. Ram
say, Mrs. Morris, Countess Bonde,
Princess Louise Plessen, Baron and
Baroness Carl Bonde and their
four children, and the family of the
Countess Arnold
Mr.. Stone will not return to Eu-
rope. On his fifteen years abroad
he looks back with graennde and
affection for the many friends he
found there. But he is at home
again at last and fervently glad
of it.

viction, "is Gods country"

Painted Royal Families
Mr.. Stones work includes among
others portraits of Princess Marie
Alexandra Reuss Of Brandenburg, a
descendant of Catherine the Great
Princess Wittgenstein of Bavaria, a
slster-in-law of the Queen of the
Belgians; Admiral the Viscount de
Faramond and Viscountess de Fara-
mond, with their little son, Emerich :;
Admiral Richelieu, Count and Coun-
tess Lerchenborg and Baroness
Frederick lie Husen, of Denmark.
The story of Seymour Stones de-
velopment and achievement is a
modern fairy tale come true. He
is the struggling young artist of
fiction come to life.
Born Of American parents. his
mother of Russian extraction, he was
the only one Of a family of five chill
dren to show any artistic talent. Be-
tween the ages of ten and eighteen
he contributed to the family funds
by working for various sign-painting
firms in Chicago, in whose service he
spent the day, attending art classes
at night and studying until far into
the small hours.
AS sign painter he was not pop
ular with his fellows, who resented
his tendency to throw himself into
his work with what they regarded as
wholly unnecessary energy, and even
more his disposition to believe, and
to prove on occasion, that he could
do better work than they did. No
such prejudices were entertained by
his employers, however, and he was
earning Sc day when he turned his
back on sign painting, and, coming

department of a Boston newspaper,
at salary of $40 a week. The ex-
perience was useful but expensive,
his savings dwindling until, in des-
peration, he came to New York and
then to Philadelphia, hoping to find,
before all his money should be spent,
a place where an artist might earn
nearly, if not quite, as much as a
laborer.
A Sign Painter Again
He failed. There came night
when, penniless, hungry, heart-bro-
ken but not discouraged, he faced the
fact that art again would have to
wait onJcommerce, and next morning
applied for and got job with the
Philadelphia Billposting Company.

accepted, only to find that he would
receive this time SO a day, instead
of Sc. AS compared with $40 a
week, however, art appeared to be
looking up. The new position, more
over, would give him experience in
painting on fabrics, which he want

NA/ ing at the extreme dis
Y play of naval power as
shown in the British bat
tie cruiser Hood, little attention
has been given to the japanese. At
the naval dockyard at Kure the bat
tleship Negato is rapidly approach
ing completion. In fact, it is ex-
pected that she will be commissioned
very shortly.
This ship has about the same dis
placement as the Hood, though she
is not so long and therefore has less
space to armor. In offensive and de-
fensive power the Negato is superior
to the Hood. The main battery con-
sists of ten long 16-inch guns as
against the eight 15-inch guns of the
Hood. Speed and length have been
sacrificed to give the Negato supe-
rior armor protection to the Hood,
or any other vessel afoat or pro-
posed.
No exact details are available on
the subject Of the Negato's armor,
but the Japanese have, for several
years past, been studying both sub
marine and aerial protection in ad-
dition to protection against plunging
shell fire. Huge sums have been
spent in the course Of their expert
ments, which have been conducted
with characteristic japanese thor
oughness and efficiency. The Mega

guns, is absolutely free of the prob
lens of home defense. Five scout
cruisers and all of the destroyers in
the navy Of over 900 tons are with
this fleet. Compare this force with
the United States Pacific feet, con-
slsting of five dreadnoughts armed
with twelve 12-inch guns and two
old, worn out, lame duck scout cruis-
ers that can steam only about twen-
ty-four knots an hour.
For Home Defense
Home defense is maintained Ly
submarines, destroyers and air.
craft. For Japan this is an ideal
arrangement. The submarine is in
its element in the warm waters Of
the japanese islands and when the
submarine is aided and protected
by the destroyer it becomes doubly
dangerous.
A number of destroyers between
500 tons and 900 tons are building
for this purpose. Information con-
corning the Japanese submarines is
noticeable because of its absence,
but have it on very good authority
that nearly two hundred boats are
to be h,,ilt by Japan and that the
larger c&Sses are to be superior
to the Briti4a ''K" boats. The very
large boats asi. be experiments
with the submarine battleship,
mounting 10-inch and t2-inch guns.
Japan has been somewhat back
ward in the air. This is not re-
suit of national disregard of this
potent military factor but rather
from her isolated position and her
remote theater of operations in the
war. At present both the army
and navy are experimenting with
and building aircraft. The Inn
perial Diet has made vast sums
available for this purpose. An air.
craft carrier, typed after the Brit
ish ships of that kind, has been laid
down by the navy to keep the bat
tie fleet supplied with an air force
in any theater Of operations.
