wider. Besides its research and its
technical studies, the Association nov
works directly upon the population

up health centers and distributing It's
literature written for popular reading
One of it's main efforts has been to en-
courage the establishment of child
hygiene bureaus in the state boards Of
health. In 1917 there were only 10
sub bureaus; now there are AZ. These
child hygiene bureaus conduct edu-
cational work among doctors and nurs-

look into housing and sanitary con-
ditions Of homes.
Statistical Work
Extended.
The most conspicuous piece OF re.
search work conducted by the Asso-
citation is its annual survey of infant
mortality. This survey is steadily
growing in scope The first one was
made in 1919, when the infant mortali-
ty in 269 American cities was studied.
| In 1920 the report covered SIG cities.
The 1921 survey, which has only re-
Gently been completed. embraced 573
cities, in which live more than 49,
| 100000 people. Thus the report is
! by. far the widest view ever given Of
! infant mortality in the United States.
! One significant point made by the
report is that the larger the city, a:

Music and Art

Announcements show that Richmond win
have abundant opportunity to hear excellent mu-
steal programs this year and that the various
displays of art will not suffer in number or ex-
cellence as compared with former years.
The development of musical culture in Rich
mond shows growth over many years and an
appreciation of artistic ability which places the
community in conspicuous class of its own. The
same observation holds true of its appraisal of
art values.
The appreciation of meritorious works of
music grows by hearing its best interpreters sing
or play them. Hardly year has passed in which
some great singer or some fine musical organiza-
cation has not been heard in Richmond This
year is no exception. The public cannot complain
that it will not have opportunity to listen to
some of the leaders in the musical world

be lost in the execution of the new law, which is
discharging officers from the army, some of
whom we would have to fall back on in another
war. It is said that the proponents of the bill
did not have in mind the retirement of these men.
but when the law was scrutinized it was discov-
cred that no provision had been made to retain
them, and consequently they are being dropped
from the army at heavy financial sacrifice to
themselves.
Seemingly their retirement finds many of
them unable to locate themselves in industrial
life at once and so the country is called upon to
try to place them in commerce and industry.

intention of being a teacher, but the
political life called him. As far back
as 1892 he ran for congress on the
Democratic ticket but was defeated.
In 1912 he was urged against his
judgment to become Democratic can
didate for governor of Michigan and
was elected by plurality of $4,000
votes. He gave as his reason for his
decision finally to run that he believed
he could thus aid Wilson, whom he
had urged as candidate for president
early in 1911 and for whom he worked
at the Baltimore convention the follow

| After serving two terms as governor
he ran for mayor in Big Rapids, his
home town, and was defeated by q
majority of 1913 votes, his own ward
voting against him by 80 votes.
He was one of the startling figures
of the 1916 presidential campaign. He
