What is Infant Mortality? The
term Infant Mortality or lh" baby
death rate means the relation be
tween the number of babes under
one year who die, To the number
born alive during the year.
An interesting feature of the IN
fant mortality report of the Ameri-
can Child Hygiene Association IS the
relative rates that prevail in large
and small cities. In New YORK state
where - cities were investigated,
26 reported higher infant mortality
than did New York city. OF the 20
cities investigated in Pennsylvania,
5 reported higher infant mortality
rates than did Philadelphia. These
facts show that health conferences
and clinics of the cities produce re-
suits of high quality.
Recently the smaller towns and
communities are directing their
programs to this line of work. The
child born in the small town or open
country has as much right for an
equal chance of life and health as
the child born in the larger city.

inning. The first man up struck
out. Next man hit an easy pop-up
between Smoky Joe and Caldwell
playing 3rd base. The ball landed
fair As We saw it, the play was
Caldwell's, but it, was evident that
he thought somebody else was max
ing it, and the man went safe. The
next man up swung on the ball, it
striking the ground just in front of
the plate. Dutch grabbed it and

on base thru errors. Then came
the timely single which scored two
men A double play followed, rclir-
ing the side Dalhart protested I'm
