POLAND ARRANGES
TO FEED CHILDREN
AFTER YANKS GO

Warsaw.-A law to insure the
continuance of free mass child
feeding in Poland after the Ameri-
can relief administration withdraw
on June next has just passed the
Polish diet and been ratified by the
council Of ministers.
In accordance with a clause in
the Polish constitution, which de-
clares the states responsibility for
its children, the new legislation
permits an appropriation OF 2,000,-
100000 marks to carry on for the
first year the program which the
American relief administration Of
ficials consider necessary for that
period
Four hundred thousand children
are now receiving a meal a day
from the American relief admins
tration. These the Polish govern
ment will take over until Septem-
Der. 1922, when the number Will be
decreased to 100000, who will be
cared for until June, 1928. The
cost will be borne Jointly by the
central government and the COM
munes- The former will supply the
food and the latter will pay the
overhead charges in the kitchens.
From April, 1919, when the Amer
lean relief administration first be
gan to operate in Poland, until
January of this year, 662 ,000, 900
meals and 81 500 900 worth of cloth
ing were distributed free by the
Americans.
While Austria. Czechoslovakia and
Hungary are at present framing
similar laws for child-care, Poland
has the distinction of being the
first country to make positive, tan
gible preparations for the contin-
uance of the American work. 1t Is
also one of the first states to pass
legislation declaring its response
bility for the welfare of it's chill
dren.
The present legislation was pass
ed at the instance of the American
relief administration which has for
some time been trying to stimu-
late public sentiment and solidify
the necessary public support. A
child feeding exhibition recently
held in Warsaw did much to make
smooth the passing of the law.

BOYS OF ALBANIA
ARE BEING TAUGHT
DIGNITY OF WORK

Tirana, Albania.-Work is a dis
grace in Albania. One who is fore
ed to it is Immediately ranked as
belonging to the lowest order OF
Albanian. society AS a result of
this point of view, American teach
ers assigned to the American Red
Cross vocational school here had
first the task of teaching so or
more boys coming from the higher
Albanian families that if they wish
ed to learn any trade the idea OF
spruning the hammer and the saw
must be dispelled from their young
minds.
When the boys congregated for
their lessons in the vocations, they
all refused to have anything to do
with tools. The disdained touch
ing anything that bore evidence of
work. They refused to use brooms
to sweep out their dormitories.
They looked at the chisel and NAL
let with repugnant eyes.
The American teachers met this
puzzling situation in a practical
way. They began using the tools
themselves, freely and naturally,
and continued to demonstrate the
value and help of a tool to the
workers until finally the passive
resistance of the young Albanians
was completely overcome and they
came to use every implement in the
shop.
Long centuries of caste had
taught the boys that the real gen.
tleman was he who lived in idle
ness. A few months in the school
and the age-long tradition was
practically wiped out The boys
now do all the work, including the
care of their own rooms and the
waiting on the table of the schools
faculty. The minds of these youths
have been transformed, an con-
slant reference to the upward
struggle of American captains of
industry who achieved their sue
cesses through work have imbued
each with such spirit of progress
that the school, located in the
midst of a slovenly, idle popuia-
ton, stands out in bold relief for
its industry and zeal.
The students are adopting all
sorts of other American character
istics. They have yells and songs;
they have class fights and colorS.
and they have developed a school
spirit. They have taken to ath-
letics, baseball being the major
sport, followed closely by boxing.
Baseball is supervised by Ambrose
B. Skelly of Albany, n. Y, an old
college baseball star.
In boxing their only idea is to
punch. Boxing fans" would be
delighted with the exhibition put
on by the Tirana vocational school.
1t is practically all straight punch
ing. There are no clinches. Each
boxer thinks skill is measured by
the rapidly and force with which
he can land blows on the other
mans face without regard to his
own protection. Blows are what
count to these Albanian boys and
they give and take them like Spar
tens.

MATERNITY CENTER
LOWERS NEW YORK
HIGH DEATH RATE

New York.-A demonstration OF
the proper methods of caring for
newly born infants in an effort to
reduce the high death rate of moth
ers and babies throughout the
country has been started by the
Maternity Center association in a
zone covering square mile in the
upper east side.~
The base of operations" chosen
for the associations educational
campaign, contains both tenament
houses and homes of working men
in which, it is estimated, 1000 ba-
bies will be born in 1922.
THE last word in complete ma
ternity care will be given to every
mother possible" a statement said.
The results will be carefully ana
lyzed and the increased knowledge
offered to the entire country"
Miss Mabel Choate, daughter of
the late celebrated lawyer, Joseph
ChOate. who is president of the as
ISOLATION, declared that at least
100000 mothers die in the United
States every year from causes in
cldent to maternity. One hundred
thousand babies are stillborn and
another 100000 die before they are
enc month old.
'In order that we may reach
as many expectant mothers as pos
sible in the district where we are
making the intensive study" Miss
Choate said, "house to house can
vases are being made by the
nurses All of the patients who can
do SO are urged to attend the cen
ter. Those who cannot come
through illness or for other rea-
sons are visited in their homes"
The task before the association,
she asserted, is to convince the
mother that care is really neces-
sary and to tell her just how to
care for herself and for the expect
ed baby.
These problems we are attack
ing through the preparation OF
more than 100000 pamphlets
which will be distributed through
out the country" said Miss Choate.

Of the sos members of that body

Observers predict that French
politics for the next generation
will be in the control of men with

same manner as the American con-
gress was after the Civil war.
General Viscount de Castelnau IS
the most notable soldier in parlia-
ment but his influence is scarcely
greater than that of Lieutenant
Colonel Jean Fabry, who was
Joffre's chief of staff on his visit
to Washington in April, 1917.
Viscount de Castelnau is better
known as a general than as a
deputy. De Castelnau was on the
list of those whom Premier Clemen-
ceau thought were entitled to be
marshais of France. Clemenceau,
it is said, finally decided, with great
reluctance, to leave de Castelnau a
general because he had appointed
one Catholic, Foch, to be a mar
shall and he did not like to name a
second Catholic, de Castelnau. The
general is a devout churchman.
Besides Castlenau, there are 40
others in this republican chamber
