hands working on Cecil Halls new

rolling a building to the public

keeps me busy keeping up all cor

other to come. Nineteen of them and
the saws, planes and hammers make
music for the natives. Ruthville is

OLD YULETIDE CAROLS
"HoIy Night" Regarded as One Of
Most Beautiful Songs.
Draw Nigh, Emmanuel" One Of OLD
est PicceS and Far Ante
dates Any othera.

tt HE ancient Christmas carol, Holy
Night" Is German in its origin
aud is considered by many persons TO
be the most beautiful Of all Christ
mas carols. 1t has sometimes been
aScribed 10 Murtin Luther, but the
CONSENSUS Of expert opinion il that it
Is much older than his time and is one
Of the oldest of German folk songs.
The carol God Rest Ye Merry,
Gentlemen" Is English in its origin
and dates back to about the beginning
Of the Seventeenth century, although
The author Of the words and the com
poser Of the music are unknown. The
fine Old melody sung to this poem pos
sesSeS all the best qualifications of Il
sterling hymn time and will probably
last as long as the verses with which
it is always associated.
The carol DRAW Nigh, Emmanuel"
is one of The oldest pieces of coherent
music in existence and both the words
! and music far antedate any of the 9TH
erS. The music Is an Old French mel
Ody dated from The Thirteenth cen
fury. although, Of course, it has been
harmOnizcd TO conform with more
modern standards.
There is most curious hut beauti-
fui musical effect ut the close Of this
carol The words Of Draw Nigh. I'M
manuel" are about 100 years older
than the music, being taken from The
AIOzarabic breviSry Of the Twelfth cen
tury, and 1t Is generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy Of
the early Christians at Toledo. Spain,
where the Mozarsbic hreviary was for
mulated
Another carol, 1.-THE First Noel"
has 81 traditional French melody and
/ probably originated in Breton, a..
though the exact origin Of this fire old
song is somewhat in doubt.

Maternity Care
A Civic Responsibility Provided Fa
in the Stitt Bill
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS president of the Maternity
Center Association, may l bespeak for
the Stitt bill, which is now before the
Legislature, tina fullest publicity.
TINS bill PERMITS the various COM
munities to appropriate funds for ma
ternity care and has the fill approval
of the Maternity Center Association Of
Manhattan
The need for such maternity cara
as this bill proposes is tremendou,
not only in Manhattan but in the en-.
tire country. In Manhattan alone last
year one mother died for every EOS
babies born, one baby out of every
twenty-six born died under one month
of age-a total of 2,145-and one ou'
of every twenty-one babies was bon
dead-~a total Of 1854. In the whole
United States 1900 mothers die an
nually from causes incident to child
birth: 100000 babies die under ore
month of age, and another 100000 srs
born dead.
The Maternity Center Association
has proved by its work that two-thirds
of these mothers and ne-half of these
babies can be saved. The loss OF
mother often means breaking up the.
family and placing the children in
institutions. Is it not, therefore, in
perative to give to the mothers ads-
quate prenatal care? The above stats
ment has been thoroughly approved BY
such physicians as Dr.. J. Clifton Ed
gar, DR.. Haven Emerson, DR.. George
w. Kosmak, DR.. Ralph W. Lobenstin''
DR.. William f. Studdiford and d..
Herbert B. Wilcox.
The fact that the Maternity Center
Association cared for over 1l,0Vs
mothers and their babe, last year Is
a proof that women wan. I'D need this
care. At the present time the twenty
maternity centers in Manhattan ana
the staff Of nurses and doctors are en-
tirely supported by voluntary contrlpa'
tons. This should not be.
The care OF mothers and babies ~
distinctly city or state responsibility
New York City failed to appropriate
any funds for the sixty-eight prenatal
nurses asked for by DR.. Josephfn'
Baker last fall, so that private IN
dividuals, realizing the great need f0'
this care, have been obliged to support
the work which should properly belong
to the city.
Shoold not every effort be made 70
induce our legislators TO assume nv
responsibility OF providing adequas'
care for expectant mothers and the's
babies? MABEL CH0ATE

Leopards of the Spring

One does not have to be the lady
IN the circus who Tolls around with
the leopards to sympathize with her
sensations. AS matter of fact she
may be so accustomed to her old
friends with the spots that she feels
not one bit more thrill than any
plain traveller in this vale Of tears
takes out Of each return of spring.
We gather that the faithfulest
followers Of Freud picture our whole
subconscious self as one vast jungle
packed with whining, mewing car
nivora seeking whom they may de-
YOUR. Just why the subconscious self
should be so utterly different from
ones conscious self we never could
fathom. If it is the abode of in
stincts, there are surely just as MANY
tender, devoted, self-sacrifcing in
stincts nowadays as the contrary
or at any rate a lot of 'em. So we
1S' P>No ciAot, WldCSNCI CuCIc Is Ill CI1e
Freudian theory, the animals that
turk in the subconscious are, many
of them at least, not at all bad lot.
The spring, day like yesterday,
at once relaxing and exciting, brings
up from the subconscious all sorts of
delightful and forgotten parts of
ourselves. Nothing seems less i'm
portant than work. To amble out on
hill and soak in the scenery seems
a far more sensible method of pass
ing the hours. The thrilling, sap
stirring aspect of spring has been
exaggerated at the expense of it's
ether side, we suspect. Surely there
was never mellower, softer, gen.
tier, more purring period.

An Ill-Advised Measure

A bill to license chiropractors, Civ
ing them a status equivalent to that
of regular physicians, is before the
state Legislature. This measure
should be defeated in the interest of
the public welfare.
Chiropractic is based on the the
DRY that all disease is caused by a
arrangement of the spinal column,
with resulting nerve pressure. The
chiropractor's sole method of treat
ment is manipulation of the spine.
In certain cases without question
this sort of manual adjustment is
beneficial and exactly what any
physician would prescribe. But the
chiropractic healers boast that this
laying on of hands is panacea. An
absurd claim it seems to unpreju-
diced persons.
AS natural consequence of his
theory the chiropractor disdains
usual diagnoses and casts aside as
unimportant bacteriology and chem
istry. Worse, he treats contagious
diseases in the same manner as he
treats all other conditions. Small
wonder that the public health COM
mittee of the New York Academy of
Medicine fears the licensed chiro-
practor would upset the efforts of
the state health officers In the pre-
vention Of epidemics by prompt re-
port and segregation.
To put the spine adjuster, with
his specific cure-all, on the same
plane with the doctor Of medicine, as
