times sick mother or child had to
be carried over miles OF rough road to
reach the nearest doctor.
Mothers and babies suffered from
the lack of medical help. Eighty-six
per cent Of the mothers who were
questioned went through the period Of
pregnancy without any medical aid
whatever. The others received totally
inadequate care. Two-thirds were at
tended by physicians at childbirth,
but in number OF cases the doctor
did not arrive until after the baby
was born. Seventy-seven per cent OF
the mothers who were attended by
physicians were not visited at all
after the birth OF the baby. No ply
sician was reported in attendance at
the deaths Of more than two-thirds OF
the babies in the group studied who
died in their first year.
Few mothers knew the best way TO
feed and care for children. not only
because they lacked medical advice,
but also because many of them could
not read or write. Practically all
mothers nursed their babies, but some
babies received solid food even dur
ing the first month. Buttermilk,
sweetened coffee, sirup, butter. eggs,
cornbread, meat, potatoes and other
vegetables were among the foods
given In the first month. Some OF
the foods given before the sixth month
Included sausage, picked beans and
chocolate csEiy.

"HE President is convinced that
II solution or the railroad prob
lem lies in consolidation of the
transportation companies Of
the country into Il limited number of
regional systems. The Presidents con
Nictlon has been that he will express
himself on the subject in his first
message to congress in December.
The President. 1t Is declared, be
lievcs in the consolidated plan as n
cure for railroad ills, first, because it
will make possible material reductions
in commodity rates, n reduction which
he regards as necessary. He believes,
further that consolidation will assure

promise greater efficiency in transpor-
tation.
The convictions Of the President be
came known following conference

The Georgia county surveyed by the

tension OF the Blue Ridge mountain
belt. Its people are American by
birth and descent. Because of the
mountainous character Of the district
and the lack OF good roads, their
homes are isolated and often almost
inaccessible, and they have not shared
in the development OF the rest of their
state and nation. Some homes visited

Few mothers and fathers were visited
who had not been to nearby villages

WILL ISSUE TEXT
ON CONSTITUTION
Senate to Publish Document With
Amendments and Supreme
Court Rules.

The Constitution of the United
States, with citations to the cases OF
the Supreme Court constituting Its
provisions collated under each pro-
vision of the Constitution is about to
be issued as a Senate document.
The Senate adopted a resolution in
December, 1921. authorizing the SEN
ate rules committee to have such a
compilation made. Acting under this
authority, Senator Charles Curtis,
chairman of the committee, secured
the services of George gordon Payne
for this work.
The new volume dealing with the
Constitution and the decisions Of the
Supreme Court constituting its pro-
visions is unique and members OF the
Senate believe II will be of great value
not only to members OF Congress in
drafting legislation, but also to the legal
ton in it's original form. the amend
ments thereto, a chapter on the rules
under which the Constitution has
been interpreted, voluminous notes on
of the decisions of the Supreme Court
involving constitutional questions col
lated under each separate provision
of the Constitution. Mr.. Payne has
given a brief of the cases SO anno-
tated making it possible 70 deter
mine what question was involved.
The work also contains list OF
the laws of Congress, which have
been declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court, to forty in number.
Mr. Payne, who was formerly con-
nected with the Interstate Commerce
Commission and for the last four
years has been with the rules COM
mittee of the Senate, was engaged
for fifteen months on this work,
which has been done with the great
est care.

Religion, Science,
Need Not Differ
Ouer Evolution

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April A.
The theory of evolution. whether
true or false, is not a subject that
sould cause conflict between re-
ligion and science, Jonathan Rig
don, president of Central Normal
College of Danville. Ind, declared
in an address here last night at
the annual congress of Disciples
Of Christ.
President Rigdon. who said his
attitude In discussing the subject
was neither that OF a teacher of
science or of religion, but rather
that of an educator interested in
both fields. declared God Is as
much the author of truth that is
In nature as of truth that Is in the
Bible.
1T is narrowness and inconsist-
ency to emphasize either field and
neglect the other. There will be
disagreement so long as either
preachers or science teachers look
upon evolution as a power to be
set up in place of God. There can
be no occasion for any quarrel
when both sides come to see that
evolution is not power, but a
process in which or through which
God does whatever is done.
Science and religion must both
be stimulated and encouraged by
each Must learn to cooperate well
within it's own field. That evolu-
luton Is true Is only theory.
But that evolution is not true, Is
it Is true or false has absolutely
nothing to do with the essentials
of a religious life as set forth in
the Bible"

The new type Of ornamental bronze
lamp-post to be officially adopted by
the District for erection about the
public thoroughfares will be formally

pected to add much to the general
physical beauty of the city. Some
months ago, when the District Com
missioners determined to adopt uni-
form lamp-post of a more ornamental
aspect than the posts Of the past, they
called upon the Fine Arts Commission n
to assist them in selecting the types.
Several designs were referred to
the arts commission for selection OF
the best ones. the posts to De in
models of the winning design.
The District Is without sunicient
funds to replace all of the old lamp
posts at one time, but several hun
dred of the new type will be put
into position on the downtown
thoroughfares during the coming
months. The other sections of the
propriations are forthcoming.
The inspection will be made In
front of the Lemon building on New
York avenue between 18th 18th and 1871 "a

government as we'll as members of
the arts commission will be present.

Charges Of conspiracy to boost

JUDGE SELLERS MAY
APPEAL BROWN CASE
Appellate Courts Dismissal Of Con.
tempt Charges Likely Carried to
U. s. Supreme Court.

Judge Kathryn Sellers OF the Juve-
nile Court expects to appeal to the
United States Supreme Court the two
cases in which she rendered verdicts
against Willis Brown, formerly a
Juvenile court Judge in Utah, holding
him In contempt Of the District Juve-
nile CoAlrt for writing and having pub
lished articles regarding proceedings
before the court. The District Court
of APPEALS yesterday exonerated Mr..
Brown. Judge Sellers had imposed q
fine Of $40 in one case and sentence
of Imprisonment for forty-eight hours
In the other case.
Il believe these two cases to be of
sufficient Importance to warrant our
taking an appeal to the Supreme
Court" was all that Judge Sellers
would say today. She believes that
the higher court will make a different
construction Of the statutes.
If the decision of the Court of Ap-
peais is not reversed in the higher
court 1t will mean that the Juvenile
Court will lose jurisdiction OF truancy
cases against children between the
ages Of eight and fourteen years, and
retain jurisdiction only over children
from fourteen to seventeen years
charged with truancy.
