things that make the big difference in our pleas

much rejoicing over the increased birth rate, and
the folks in Buckingham Palace (Which stately
pile the child-bringer has visited on many occa-
sions) are just as much pleased as those up in
Lancashire where the little newcomers seem to
be particularly numerous.
But prolific as the Britishers have become,
they needn't think they can beat the Americans
at it any more than they can at yachting or other
sports. The baby crop in the United States has
made a new record. The American Child Hy
gene Association also announces that infant
mortality has declined to an encouraging extent
in many parts of the country. That means to say
that we're not only getting generous supply of
the best crop of all, but are keeping more OF it.
This must be highly encouraging to those public
spirited doctors and nurses who in recent years
have devoted so much time and attention to the
campaign for better babies.

Here is the kind Of friend that

In letter to Mr.. Tartt, he says:

The War Finance corporation has
rendered great service to this sec

exporters of cotton which stimulated
buying by the exporters from the
producers in the primary market and
it is a comfortable feeling to know
that there is a source from which
ample funds may be received in case
they are needed to finance the order
