Healthy Babies in New York.
The Infant Mortality Rate Shows q
Splendid Reduction.

From the Weekly BuIIctir of the Neto York
Citp Department Of Health. April 30.
The infant mortality rate continues
10 be most encouraging. For the first
thirteen weeks Of the year, that is, UP
TO the week ending March 26, the infant
mortality rate was so as against 113
for the corresponding period Of last year
difference of SO a thousand children
born. This infant mortality rate repre-
SCENTS a numerical reduction OF 1868 in
FAINT deaths from all causes.
For the first fourteen weeks of the
year, that is, up to the week ending
April Q, we find an infant mortality
rate of so, as against ll2 for the cor
responding period of last year. The in
FAINT mortality rate OF so for the first
a saving Of 1892 infant lives. This re-
duetion In the death rate for the first
quarter OF 1921 Is the largest numerical
saving of infant lives that has been re-
corded in the city of New York within
the last twelve years In fact, 1t Is
very probable that II Is the largest
quarterly saving ever recorded in the
history of the city.
This unusual reduction In infant NOR
tally Is all the more encouraging when
II Is remembered that there was an in
crease In the birth registration during
the first quarter of 1921 OF al
most 1000 above last year--to be exact.
931. A very interesting feature of the
infant mortality situation Is that every
single week during the FIRST quarter OF
1891 has shown q substantial reduction
IA the number of infant deaths from all
causes below that of ths corresponding
week OF the previous year.
It is difficult offhand to state exactly
what causes are operating to produce
this low infant mortality. We know
that there ls a decided reduction in the
infant death rate from respiratory.
diarrhnal and contagious diseases In
the order named. There is also reduc-
ton in the number Of infant deaths from
all causes. while the increase in the
deaths from congenital diseases is small.
The reduction In infant mortality from
all causes is common to all the Dor
oughs. the greatest being. In the order
named. as follows: Manhattan, Brook
Ign, The Bronx. Queens and Richmond.
As stated above, II is difficult to state
specifically what causes are operating to
maintain this low infant mortality rate
The possibilities that occur 10 our minds
are the mildness OF the winter. which
resulted in more adequate ventilation
Of the premises and the greater oppor-
tunty for keeping infants out Of doors,
both of which are extremely important
In these days when overcrowding In the
tenements Is so prevalent. 1t may also
be that the public at large still has
sufficient money from recent prosperous
years 10 secure better food. clothing and
other things conducive to health and well
being Of infants.
Above all, It IL not unlikely that the
educational propaganda Of the depart
ment, relative 10 disease, has stimulated
the general public to greater apprecia-
ton Of the need and Importance of per-
scnal and home cleanliness and hygiene
and 20 a greater readiness to seek medI-
cal advice Immediately upon the onset
OF Illness.

Castles in Spain.

A Spanish architect, Senior TORRES
CAsPos, has just published an appeal
for the preservation OF the ancient
castles OF Spain. He is apparently a
sensible young man with practical
plan, which IL not concerned with
those airy structures raised In day
dreams all over the world but has to
do with embattled and turreted walls
silhouetted on the heights of cliffs and
which often seem In the twilight float
ius foundatlonless among the clouds.
But the castles for which Senior
TORRES CAMPos asks protection are
reminders OF the romantic days Of
Spain's military AMI commercial
power. Of lie SAGE and Gil Bias, CIR
NANTES and Don Qulxote and Of the
conquistadors who brought bnclS from
the American colonies the gold with
which many Of these great fabrics
were ral>ed.

and sixteenth centuries the seat Of

pieces Of military architecture not

Professor WILLIAM RoBERT BROOKS
who died at his home in Geneva, New
York state, on Tuesday, was credited
with discovering more comets than
any of his contemporaries. lie had
twenty-sevoa to his credit, according
70 the lateSs available record. Many
OF these he discovered by the use Of
telescope of his own construction,
for, like many other astronomers, he
was an instrument maker OF unusual
ability. His devotion to his work may
be Judged from the fact that his fatal
illness Is attributed to his continued
observations at Smith Observatory in
Geneva, voluntarily undertaken after
he had done his routine work. He was
a useful and Industrious student OF a
most fascinating speciality.

Cortez Wins by a Song.

The first sentence of Senator
LoDGE's recent speech on the C0lom-
bian treaty was: "Since the day when
CoRTEz In poetry and BALBOA In fact
discovered the Pacific Ocean the
Isthmus of Panama has never ceased
to play a part in the history of the
world" Since KEATS more than a
century ago wrote
Then felt like some watcher OF the
skies
When a new planet swims into his
ken;
or like stout coRTEz whan with eagle
eyes
He stared at the Pacific"
the world has credited the discovery
to CoRTEz. Historians may lecture,
statesmen protest, geographers scold,
orators thunder; singer erred and
popular acclaim gives bold CoRTEz
honor for the discovery OF the Pacific
Ocean when he took Panama.
That "very wise man." quoted by
ANDREW FLETCHER of Saltoun in a
letter to the Marquis Of MoNTRosE,
who believed that IF a man We're
permitted to make all the ballads he
need not care who should make the
laws of nation" must wink with
kindly spiritual eyes at KEATS when
they meet i'm the Elysian Fields.

BIRTHDAY FETE IN OWN HOME.
CRONIES' SURPRISE TO BULLS

Deity picking locks on the sec
ond noor of 71s Eleventh street
northwest yesterday, a group of
medical men and plain citizens en-
tered the apartments of DR.. Marx C.
Bulls, well-known local dental sur
geon. and for several hours busted
themselves on the interior. Not
only that. but the second story OPP
orators calmly remained on the
premises until Bulls returned home
from a hard days practice in his
offices in the Medical Science Build
ing.
Bulls halted on the threshold
while his eye took in the amazing
sight of a score of grinning cronies
and a flock OF tables completely sub
merged beneath a qusdruple-
sion spread of superior cuisine. And
then he remembered 1t was his 46th
birthday anniversary.
Most surprise parties are pathetic
ally lacking in that quality giving
them their title. This one was
complete success. Bulls was as
pleasantly nonplussed as though he
awoke to the news he had been
elected President when he went to
bed not knowing he was a candi-
date.
After his mental control levers
were adjusted to the fact of the
presence of the guests Cor hostsj
and the collation., Bulls managed to
enunciate some fitting sentiments,
though there was more in the round
of handshaking and congratulations
than could be spoken offhand.
High merrymaking and reminis-
cence continued in the Bulls me-
mage until the well-kRown late
houE.
Bulls was born at Battle Creek,
Mich. additionally famous as the
home of health foods. He was a
graduate in the first class of the
George Washington University Col
lege of Dentistry after the consoli-
dation of the National and Column
bian colleges. This was fifteen years
ago and Bulls well remembers the

IF you are having conversation

to reach the hospital by the free
