soon another and a far more vital
emotion came to Danish my annoy

forget everything else, including
the actual presence of this Don Juan

Her eyes were no longer wide and

SAVING OUR
BABIES
BY Brice Belden. MD.

N TATIST1CS emanating from the
Federal Department of Labor
~ and from the health depart
ments reveal a great loss of life In
childbirth, and concerted drive
is on to wake the people up on
this vital point.
Doubtless It will surprise many
TO be told that more women die in
the United States from causes in
cident to child-bearing than from
any other cause except tuberculo-
sis, while almost half the vast
number of infant deaths are pre-
ventable.
America Is fourteenth among the
nations In the matter of maternity
safety. Yet nothing is of more i'm
portance, for every advance made
in safeguarding these precious
lives will rebound TO the benef1t OF
the whole population of the coun-
try. The economic waste at pres
ent involved is enormous The re-
movsl of such public dangers as
this is duty in which every: one
has a share
There is a growing educational
campaign in the interest of intelli-
gent and suitable maternity care
for expectant mothers, and pre-
natal care is being more and more
extended. This work is being car
ried on with increasing efficiency
and very many lives are being
saved that would otherwise be
surely sacrificed.
This Is one of the most satisfac-
tory fields in medicine for attaining
results in terms of lives saved and
inyalidity avoided. There Is moth
ing hsphazard about ". The pre-
yentisn of domestic tragedy is
commonplace experience In the
lives. of the physicians and nurses
who are doing this work. There
are certain danger signals which
these trained workers Immediately
sense the Significance OF. and they
skilifuIly set the switches which
avert disaster on the road to ma
ternity.
II is not only the wcll-to-do who
are receiving the beneht OF this
benef,cent care, for II is being ex-
tended to the poor. In New York
city there is an organization, con-
ducting six centers and thirteen
sub stations for prenatal care. But
splendid as this work Is, IL is not
covering the field that II should
oven In New York city, while the
country at large is far worse off.
This work Saves not only the
lives of mothers. remember, but the
lives OF the newborn babies as
we'll.
