WOULD SUPPLANT STRANGE
 BELIEFS ON CHILD BIRTH
Maternity Association Moves to Give Hygienic
 Ideas Broader Scope

NEW YORK, April 21.-To aid in dispelling one of the most tenacious group of superstitious beliefs the world has ever known-those pertain ing to d-birth-the Maternity Gen. ter Association is inaugurating in New York a campaign for the benefit of the entire country.
 Through education it is hoped to acquaint mothers everywehere with the real factors determining the life and health of mothers and infants. Through research more facts will be given to science for the benefit of women preparing for motherhood.
 The Maternity Center Association is regarded as leading authority in the United States on matters of ma ternity protection. The routine, or method of nursing procedure, it has worked out is widely accepted as the standard. Miss Mabel Choate, daugh- ter of the late Joseph H. Choate, is president of the association. Prac- tically every large hospital in New York County is represented in it's medical advisory board.
 TO FIGHT SUPERSTITION
 The superstitions surrounding ma ternity are dangerous, the association feels, because they affect mother and baby lives. Thousands of women in this country, it is said, are relying upon tales that have come down from the Middle Ages These beliefs must be supplanted by knowledge if the appalling mother and baby death rate in the United States is to be cut down.
 Take the old idea of marking" a baby through an unsatisfied craving on the part of the mother. If wom- an longs for strawberries, for ex- ample, and does not get them, the supposition is that the child will be born with a strawberry mark.
 Scientists declare there is no rela- tion between cravings and birthmarks, They dc assert, however, that worry and fear and anger react most unfav- orably upon the baby that is to be. Fright, for example, the association's S authorities say, might precipitate mat ters prematurely, or worry might tend

CARVES TABLE
 FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

WASHINGTON, April 21.-A hand some lockwood table of rare design stands in the Attorney office at Washington.
 It is a specimen of the skill and workmanship of a convict at Atlanta prison. The table was a gift to At torney-General Daugherty. It was sent to him with the compliments of the man who is confined behind peni- tentiary bars for a serious crime.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-04-21

to impoverish the baby's food supply. If we are to give the child fair start in life the thought of many thousands of mothers must be directed into right channels. The care the mother takes of herself must be approved by sci ence, not by superstition.
 SOME OF BELIEFS
 Strange, indeed, are the beliefs the associations nurses encounter in their field work There is the one that if the expectant mother steps over a gaspipe the child will be born with a cord around it's neck. There is the other belief that if she passes man chopping wood the baby will have hairlip.
 When one of the nurses makes a complimentary remark about the new baby generally the mother hastens to ward off bad luck by saying: God bess it; thank God; knock wood; God save the mark!" But the woman often has taken no thought to ward off sick ness or even death by proper diet, proper clothing and proper medicinal and nursing care.
 Lack of proper care is directly re- sponsible for the death of most of the 23. 900 mothers who die every year in tho Tinted States from causes incl dent to maternity and for the hope less crippling of many thousands more. One hundred thousand babies die each year in this country under the age of one month. Another 100000 are stillborn. Nearly all of these 2OO,- 900 deaths are preventable.
 A TASK OF EDUCATION
 The great task of the association is one of education. First, the moth CTS must be impressed with the need for proper medical and surgical care during confinement at delivery, and in the brief period immediately follow ing the birth In many cases women who are convinced of the need of such care can find it. They can pro cure the advice of physicians, and in many of the larger cities they will find nursing organization to keep them constantly advised.
 Many women, however, who real
The Cordova daily times., 1922-04-21

ize the need for proper care have not the means of procuring it. This in wolves the second phase of the cam paign of education upon which the as- sociation is embarking. It must teach the mother just what steps she is to take in order to make the arrival of for the child With this end in view the Maternity Center Association is now preparing a series of educational pamphlets. More than a million of these will be distributed throughout the country for the benefit of expec- tant mothers.
 As a sort of laboratory for the study of motherhood a square mile on the crowded upper East Side of New York has been secured, where a maternity medical and nursing cen ter has been established. It is esti- mated that this year 4,000 babies will be born in this section, and an effort will be made to reach every one Of the mothers as soon as she realizes that~a baby is to be born,
 The last word in medical and nurs- ing care will be accorded these wom- en in an effort not only to do every thing that is humanly possible to make motherhood safe, but also to de- termine the irreducible minimum of complete maternity nursing care.
