Foreign Countries
 Save Their Babies
Great Reduction in Mortality Rates Due To Close Suspen-
 sion of Health.

Children's health CenterS and sySte- matic home visiting have saved the lives of thousands of babies in European coun- tries. A report on Infant Welfare Work in Europe" recently issued by the U. s. Department of Labor describes the development of infant welfare measures in six foreign countries and points out the close relation existing between this work and a reduction in infant mortality.
 In England and Wales during the de- Cade 189l-19O0 the infant mortality rate was 153, while for the 1O-year period 10O1-101O, the time of growing activity in infant welfare work, the rate fell to 128. Within a little over a year, owing to the aid of government grants, the num- Der of health Ccnters increased less than $50 to 1278 Between 1914 and 1918 the number of 'health visitors" rose from 6oO to more than 5000. This expansion 1n infant welfare work was accompanied by a steady decline i'll infant mortality. In 1916. i'll spite of war conditions, the rate was the lowest ever before recorded. In Austria and Germany prlor to the war large cities in general lost fewer babes per 1,OOO born" alive than rural districts or small communities. The decrease III infant mortality Ill towns III these cOun- tries dates from the introduction of mod ern infant welfare measures. The con- dition of young babies in Belgium was late in the war described, according to the report, as bette Gthan normal, owing largely to the work of the health centers which, during the war, increased from 70 to over 7O0 In France the lowest infant mortality rates are for Paris where the greatest development of infant welfare work has taken place and where mothers and babies have the benefit of numerous health centers in charge of specialists in child hvoiene

|DANBURY WINS FIGHT AGAINST
 GAS COMPANIES
Company Paid 16 P. c. Dividends While Soaking Consumer
 Commission Funds.

Danbury has won its fight for a re- duced gas rate and a reduction, if not abOl1Shnent of the unfair meter service charge, and in winning disclosed that the company while soaking" the consumer, was neatly paying 16 per cent dividends to it's stockholders The decision was made by the Public Utilities Commission this week after thorough investigation and gives heart to New Haven and other cities of the state who are protesting the meter and other gas charges.
 The commission orders the Danbury and Bethel Gas Company to on or before June l, 1921, to put into effect a rate re- ducing the meter charge from 50 to 5 Certs and reducing the charge for gas 20 cents per thousand feet for domestic use and of 30 cents per thousand for domes- tic use where prepayment meters are used. The rates for industrial use are reduced in proportion.
 In a review of the case the Commis- sion shows:
 l. That the company in its estimated expenses for 1921, included the federal income tax.
 2. That the company paid 16 per cent. dividends in 1919 and 1920 respectively and an average of 13 per cent for the past seven years but holds that the con- pany IS entitled to a return of 8 per cent.
 5, That the company's valuation of its property on a reduction view with out depreciation" basis was between 300 and 400 per cent. more than the invested capital or the conceded cost.
 Tt is conceded that the rates of a utility company should be sufficiently high to provide proper depreciation reserve, a moderate surplus and afford ample pro- lection and return for invested capital as well as presenting a favorable field for the investment of new capital for neces- sary improvements and betterments, but such rates should not be SO high as to impose an unreasonable burden upon the public.
 It is not fair, however, to place upon the customers at this time a burden of rates which will fully compensate the company if there be controlling reasons why this should not just now be done Gin re Lincoln County Power Company, P. U. R. 1919 C. Page 866D

COOLIDGE PLAIN CITIZEN
Vice President-elect Surrenders Rud-
 der of State to Successor
Fly Aseociated Press

Boston. January 6.-Calvin Coolidge was plain citizen tonight for the first time in years. As such he went to the family fireside at Northampton for a husbands and fathers rest from the af- fairs of state before going to the na- tional capitol in March as Vice Presi- dent.
 The transition from governor to ordi- nary citizen was accomplished simply In formal proceeding that had much or ceremonial to it notwithstanding its simplicity, the retiring governor hand ed to Charming H. Cox, his successor, the ponderous key of the executive chamber, the Butler Bible. and the ar rowhead and flint that signify the duty Of keeping faith with the state's van- ishing Indian charges. Then he took his hat and without official escort left the executive chambers by a side door while in the main entry the inaugural procession of Governor Cox began to form. Citizen Coolidge found group of friends waiting below. and with them he walked out of the statehouse while the band blared a hail to the new chief.
 After luncheon in town with a few friends, the Vice President elect set out for home. At the station he had to edge the way for Mrs. Coolidge through aI crowd and then seek a seat. The re- tiring governor and his wife went to Northa mpton as the ordinary citizen that the days events made him. riding in day coach the man reading a news paper, the woman knitting something that looked like sock in it's first stages.
