LYYNG-IN HOSPITAL
ASKS PUBLIC SUPPORT
Aid Asked to Glue Babies
Fair Start in Lite

Although child birth ranks second only
to tuberculosis as cause of death in
the United States. the Lying-in Hospital
has q mortality record Of less than ] per
cent, and expects meaSlreably to reduce
that figure in the current year. There
are physicians still connected with the
institution who can remember when ma
ternity deaths ran as high as SO per
cent.
Under this hospitals care baby IS
born every hour and three-quarteHs
With an endowment yielding less than
S40,0 year the hospitals expenses
have risen from S167,109 in 1911 ia
s327,S1s in 1921. At present more than
nino-tenths of tho average annual deficit
OF S250,000 Is met by a small group Of
loayl friends, without whose aid the hos
pital would be forced 10 suspend. This
is against the desire and expectation Of
the late J. Pierpont Morgan, who gave
the building at Second avenue and Sew.
entecnth street as an outright gift. He
believed that the public should support
the work.
In report lsued yesterday Il Is stated
that 50 per cent. OF the parents of the
babies born under the auspices of this
institution every year have no money tn
pay their babies way into the world. II
is for this reason that the Society OF the
Lying-in Hospital appeals for proper
public support, saying. You will agree
that babies have right to fair start
in life"
To-day, the hospital reports, the United
States ranks fourteenth in the propor-
tion of women who die in child birth, in
a list OF sixteen countries.

HAD SPEECH WITH GOVERNOR
Certainly Short, but the Incident Gladdened the Heart of This
 Indiana Small Boy.

When Governor McCray and others boarded an interurban to visit the new reformatory site at Pendleton they found the car already well filled. The governor sat down by a small boy from Fortville and a moment later asked him to exchange seats with another member of the party so that they could continue a conversa tion. Shortly afterward the lads seatmate disclosed to the boy that it was the governor he had accommO- dated.
 The incident made an impression and when the boy reached home he boasted to his father that he had seen the governor and had spoken to him.
 'Is that SOP" said his dad, skep- tically, land what did the governor say to you?"
 "Oh," he said, would you just as soon sit in that seat over there, sOn?" Indianapolis News.
