HOLIDAY BUYING WAS VERY GOOD,
 SAY REPORTS
Optimistic Tone Evident in Bulletins from All Sec tions Showing Purchasers Were Careful and Prices Much Lower.
(By International News service)

(By International News Service) New York, Jan. 2-An increased volume of buying, with prices cons1d- erably reduced, featured the Christ mas trade throughout the country, ac- cording to reports from various sec tions. A note of distinct optimism is gleaned from the following bulletins on the holiday buying situation re- ceiVed by the International News
 Philadelphia - Prices sIashed com pared to 1920. Buyers strike has vanished.
 Washington - Christmas purchases exceeded all available records. Shop ping marked by "selective spirit'' of buying useful articles.

Infant Mortality

 Percent In 1921
Bridgeport's Child Welfare Department Made Great Strides In Humanitarian Move
 ment In Past Year

One hundred and twenty babies saved.
 One hundred and twenty future Citiens, the nucleus of a town. and who knows-among them perhaps a mayor, scientists, genius, pres ident? Babies have such possibili- tieSi
 This is the record of the Child Vel fare Division of the Health Depart ment for the year which closed Sat urday. By it's intensive work with babies which began a year ago, the department has succeeded in reduc- ing the death rate per thousand among the babies of the city under one year of age approximately 50 per cent under that of 1920.
 It has also probably placed itself in the lead of all the cities of the doubtless if any city as large as Bridgeport can come near to the low rate of 64 to 65 deaths per thousand which will be this city's record for 1921.
 All of these figures are still bit uncertain as final reports on the births and deaths for the last few days of December will not be in for several days yet, but the above fig ures are authentic enough to make one wax enthusiastic.
 So remarkable are the figures to experts in child welfare work. that when Dr. William Hall Coon, health officer. indicated what they would be in an address before the RockerfeIler Foundation not long ago. they sn1iI- Ike to look over the charts at the end of the year, to see if conditions really were as rosy as he described

second district because here, too, the birth rate has decreased, has gone up to the more than 100 class The ninth district is another showing decrease. This has reached the low rate of 42. The Brooklawn section, or the fifth district, has always had low rate because there babies live under better conditions and phys1- clans are imm mediately summoned when anything is wrong with them The rate there in 1920 and 1921 was from 50 to 60 per thousand.
 Although records are not yet com- plete indications are that the birth rate for 1921 will be about the same as in 1920 In 1920 there were 4,179 babies born and until Friday night, December 30, 4,040 births had been recorded in 1921 Enough will prob ably come in during the next few days to bring the years record as high if not a little higher than that of 1920.

were opened during the year and dur ing the summer two additional tenn porary stations were kept open.
 Baby saving as it is carried on now, begins with the prenatal care of the mother in every case where mother is found to be in need of at tention, she is referred to a physician. If she cannot afford to pay a physi- elan, she is sent to the prenatal clinic in the Welfare Building.
 After the baby is born. the com munity nurse takes the birth certif1- cate to the house, sees how the child is progressing and gives. the mother instruction in it's care. She especial each week to one of the Welfare Sta- tons to have it weighed and brought to the attention of the doctor there.
 As one of the first signs that all is not well with a baby is loss of weight, the individual chart of each baby is watched closely and often trouble is detected and rectified long before it has become serious. So few mothers, even experienced ones. know how to feed a baby properly that one of the most Important func- ions of these welfare stations is the supervision of the feeding of the youngsters. So many mothers are willing to feed a. baby almost every thing but the three or four simple things which it absolutely needs dur ing the first year of it's life, that ir ODIN IIbSe lIllIlSS, the Sld- tions are undoubtedly doing an ines timable good in preparing strong stomachs and good digestions for thousands of future citizens.
 The Child Welfare Division doea not aim to give help to those who do not need it. In cases of the serious illness of babies their parents are re ferred to private physicians when they can afford to pay or to the baby clinic when they have not the funds. In 98 such cases last year. 54 were referred to the clinic and A to their own physicians.
 A most interesting chart has been prepared which shows the death rate among babies per district in Bridge port and how that has been changed in 1921 from that of 1920.
 In 1920 there were four districts which had a death rate per thousand of more than 100. These were the first, eighth. tenth and eleventh. Of these the first had a high death rate because. being the business section of the city. there were fewer babies born there, hence the deaths made higher percentage.
 The 1921 chart is only complete to November 1. but on this comparison. the tenth districts rate has been re- duced to S2. the eleventh to 53 and the eighth to AS. The first district still maintains it's high rate and the

dropping to the middle sixties. Last year the rate was 92 per thousan nd and even this was considered a good showing as in the old days before cities had begun to save their babies a rate of 130 per thousand was not considered unusual.
 Moreover the saving of babies in Bridgeport has become almost a prob lem in arithmetic. The rate can be reduced even more for it is absolute ly proved by charts that the more individual care specialists give the babies, more are saved.
 July has always been the worst month for babies. In the five years preceding last year, an average of .120 babies per thousand died each Welfare Div:sfon,- decided to make a particular effort to reduce this rate last July. As both his own and his assista nts' duties had been lessened by the closing of schools, they were able to devote their entire time to calls were made where babies were seriously i'll. The result was that in stead of having the highest death rate in the year, July had the low est. The rate was reduced to 48.4 per cent. per thousand.
 The work with the babies really be- gan in 1919, but it has been ed and improved each year since. In 1920 there were four health stations established and the work was car ried on with the aid of the Visiting Nurses In January, 1921. the en- tire work was taken over by the Child Welfare Department, community nurses were assigned to take the places of the Visiting Nurses and a really intensive campaign of baby saving was begun.

thousandth of their mathematical sums in the new currency.
 If the scheme works out the prices
 of commodities and foreign money will automatically drop to reasOna ble figures. At the present time a dollar sells for about 150,OO0 Soviet rubles. Under the new scheme of things it will sell for 15 rubles issued by the State bank. A pound of bread which costs at the present time 5000 rubles will drop to so kopecks of the new money. And soon down the line.
 While the technical preparations for the new plan are being worked out, the Soviet government already put into effect a law offering from on all accounts deposited at the State bank. This enormous rate of inter est-amounting to 60 and 70 per cent. a year-is designed to coax the tons of paper money hoarded by peasants and to gradually re-eshtablish sys- tenn of credits. AS long as the peas ants hold their store of coIored paper souvenirs it will be difficulty to ac- complish any financial defiation.
 The financial problem of Russia is now regarded as chiefly psych ologica1 in character. The peasants of Rus sia have acquired a superstitious re- gard for big figures-even if they don't mean anything. What the gov ernment hopes to do is to gradually wean them away from this psychOlO- gy and get them to accept smaller figures.
 One class of RusSia's population which will be immensely thankful if the deffatfon schemes prove success fuI are the bookkeepers and the pay masters. The bookkeepers are now under an avalanche of zeros in their addition columns Trained under the old notions of bal ancing their accounts to the last ko- peck, they have had to resort to logarythm tables for their stupendous As for the paymasters they have long ago had to fall back upon wagons to carry the payrolls from the Soviet printing presses to the factories
