BRONX HEALTHY FOR BABIES
Most Coneested District Of New York
Has Fewest Deaths-chicaoo
Rate 69.68.

New York.-The Bronx, reputed to be
n of the country's most c~ongested
communities, has the lowest baby
death rate in the United States, ac-
cording to figures made public recently
by the Babies Welfare federation.
Buffalo and Pittsburgh are tied for the
highest rate of all, 93.6 d thousand
births.
The report shows that of 1897
babies born in the Bronx last year,
only 972 died before a year old, a per-
centage of 63.1 for each thousand
births. In Greater New York the death
rate was I'll.
Los Angeles has the lowest rate,
66. 13. Although Chicago and st. Louis
were not included in the official fig
ures an unofficial report shows Chi
cage to have had an infant mortality
rate Of S9.69 and st. Louis 61.7.

FROGS AND ShAILS ON MENU
London Hotel Explains That Ameri
cans Have Acquired Taste
for Them.

London.-Frogs and snails have just
been put on the bill Of fare at the
Savoy hotel. This news is accompa-
MED by the explanation that English
and American officers who have served
in France have acquired a taste for
them and want to be able to get them
here.
Those who have tried snails report
that the snail part is tough, and the
trimmings taste TOO much Of garlic.
Perhaps the Savoy snails will be ten
derer and the garlic kept in check a
little. At any rate it is related that
Sir Hall Caine has gone in for the new
items on the bill of fare at the Savoy.
The important commercial fact Is
that $50 frogs and 200 snails are now
being brought by airplane from Paris
I London each day. 1t seems d shame
to hurry snails that way. but the daily
order Is going to be doubled.

The basket makers had dogs. The
mummified remains of two were found
during the Harvard explorations and
museum along with a quantity OF
other objects illustrative OF basket
maker life.
Many of the objects found in the
dry caves in this region are in an ex-
traordinary state Of preservation, on
account of the dryness CT the climate,
despite their great age.
How many thousand years ago
these primitive people lived in north

they were related to the Indians OF
