INFANT DEATHS IN FAIRFIELD WARNED BIRMINGHAM LOW NOT TO OPPOSE F0RS0UTHSC|T|ES PLANT ANNEXATION
Louisville Only Boasts Of Better Mortality Rate For
 Children

Birmingham ranks second in the list of southern cities of It's class in the lowness of it's mortality rate among infants, according to figures compiled by the American Child Health association of New York.
 The infant mortality rates for nine southern cities, of from 100000 to 250, 900 population, are as follows:
 Louisville 76; Birmingham, S2; Norfolk, S6 Atlanta, S9; Dallas, S9; Houston, S9; Nashville, 1O1; Memphis, lC7, and San Antonio, 143.
 Research in the records of the combined city and county health de- partment show tremendous reduc- tion in the death rate of infants in the Birmingham district since pr. J. D. Bowling, district health officer, took charge of the work and began the crusade for health and better living conditions that is taking the Magic City to the forefront of pro- gressive communities and drawing to Birmingham the interested attention of sanitary experts and organiza- ticns throughout the United States.
 With the two most prevalent ail- mehts that cause the greatest nor taity among infants, the death rate of the babies in the past ten years has been reduced nearly 75 per cent.

 Aa-scS' Efficiency.
 From 1918 through 1917 the health C pertinent was without the services ci public nurses, but after several of them were employed there came sharp drop in the mortality reports the number of deaths reported in 1922 being two thirds less than the records of 1918 showed.
 The record for the city of Bir- minGham over the ten-year period iu the matter of the two main dis cases that ; almost constitute the haeis of the death rate, diarrhoea and entcritis. for children under ? years old, is as follows:

Death Rate Infant Nor Per 100000. tality Rate.

Figures for 1923 have not vet been compiled and are useless for com parison save on an annual basis. as summer months, as compared to win ter, have direct bearing on several sorts of diseases.
 It was not until 1917, when tn" havoc wrought by the milk born cpl Gemic and influenza pointedly direct ed attention to the need, that public health nursing was included in the county and city health service, 1t was not until 1918 that any nurses were employed; then two were taken on for the county and two for tn city. The next year an addltonP' nurse was taken on for each l' 1920 SIX outside worker nurses anl ? supervisor were provided for th" county and the city, each, the mum Der being retained each year since.
 o O o
 Visiting Homes.
 The nurses assiCned to the city have devoted most of their time tp child hygiene. direct visits to homes. The county nurses have spent most of their time in conjunction with school work.
 Just what value the personal visits of nurses is to a community. accord ;ng to reports at the department of health, is shown in the report of the nursing service in Leeds for the month of June, 1923, where Nurse Handle has been assigned. She made so nursing visits, 54 of which were to mothers and babies; 99 other Nis- its were made, making total Of 179 There were 32 new patients under care, eight of them newborn labies. One white infant death has been reported since the establish ment of the nursing service by the county health department in June Of last year, as compared to six in the tirst siy months Of 1922. Reports show d great improvement i'll sani- tary conditions. The work was made possible by the Sheppard -Towner act of Congress for the purpose of bring ing skilled nursing care to mothers and babies who live away from large centers where such care is provided, commonly, by public funds.
 Contributing Factors.
 There are several factors cited by the department of health in regard tn the steadily decrea sing mortality rate in Birmingham and Jefferson collnty: Supervision and control of milk. examination and protection or water, installation of modern sanl- tary fixtures on premises, screening, public health nursing and the hi- creasing interest in sanitary work taken by the public, evidenced by many large industrial institutions calling health department authorities into consultation and spending thou . sands of dollars to install modern health sanitation measures in com munities in which their workers live.
 So great has been the advancement made in Birmingham and Jefferson county that it has been but few weeks since sanitary officers from many Alabama counties gathered here to study conditions and form statewide organization.

UPSHAW REFUSES TO
MAKE NAMES PUBLIC
UPSHAW REVIEWS WAR ON
PUBLIC OFFICIALS. A COL
LEAGUE WANTS PROBE.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Wide
spread drinking of Illicit liquor by
members of congress and high public
officials, as charged by Representative
Upshaw, democrat. of Georgia, would
be made the subject of sweeping in
vestigation by the house judiciary
committee under a resolution intro
duced by Representative Hill. repub-
lican, of Maryland, leader of the vets.
Immediately following the introduc-
ton of the resolution Representative
Upshaw issued an answering blast, re-
iterating that he had in his possession
the names Of drinkers among high Of
fCials in Washington and stated that
if the house demands it he is in a po-
sition to furnish startling details Of
violations of the Volstead act by Of
hcials.
The Hill resolution quotes charges
made by Upshaw that officials drink
liquor in violation OF the Volstead act
and adds;
The publication OF such charges, if
untrue, are a grave wrong to this
body, and, if true, the responsibility
should be placed where IT belongs.
1t directs the judiciary committee
ITO investigate and report to the house
whether said charges are true, and, if
untrue, whether the Hon. William Da-
vid Upshaw has violated the privileges
of the house"
Fails to Give Names.
In a speech before the house Mr..
Upshaw replied to the Hill resolution.
He said he refused to back one inch
from his declaration that there are
enough governors, congressman and
senator's who do not practice the pro-
hibition which their votes profess to
"cast an ominous cloud on the official
sky. Everybody knows that this state
ment is absolutely true" he shouted
At the same time Representative
Upshaw declined to furnish names Of
violators Of the Volstead law as de
manded in the Hill resolution. Ht
SAYS he will give them to the prohibi-
ton enforcement officer.

THE SUN HAS A VERY
LONG LEASE ON LIFE
WILL LAST $4,000, 0Oo,O 900 YEARS
SCIENTIST SAYS. EXPLAINS
DEATH OF STARS.

STOCKHOLM. = The sun. can
keep on shining at the present rate for
another 10000 100000 years, and if
human culture is to perish it will not
be for lack of sunshine" This startling
and whimsical statement was in the
course of a recent lecture by DR..
Svante Arrhenius, the Swedish author
ity on astrophysics, in which he ex-
planned certain theories and discov-
cries regarding solar conditions.
Suppose the sun were a mass OF
coal" said DIR. Arrhenius in order to
illustrate his problem. Giving forth
heat energy at the present rate it
would then have lasted only 1000
years, or about half as long as the
period of known human history. But
since there were living things of some
kind on earth at least 1000, 600 900
wears ago, and since there has evident
Nv been very little deterioration OF the
sun during that period of time, any
theory OF the expenditure OF solar
energy must provide for upwards OF
100 600, 100000 years"
Though it Isl difficult to interpret
DIR. Arrhenius in popular language, It
theory. Heavenly bodies begin as cold
nebulous masses OF hydrogen, helium
and the so-called nebulium. Light then
arises through radioactivity. The ny
drogen is condensed to form the other
two elements, helium and nebulium,
and from these develop a whole series
of heavier elements, the most abund-
ant of which is iron Alter this stage
has been passed the radioactive ele-
ments again resolve themselves into
untable elements and produce helium.
This chemical process, going on IN
cycles. accounts for the lavish prOduc-
ton Of light and heat by the sun.
What becomes OF dead suns and
stars? Dr. Arrhenius replied to this
question that celestial bodies which
have burned out may fame up again
in case they happen to wander into
nebulous regions where condensation
and production of heat takes place.
Thus he explained the discoveries OF
new stars which are frequently an
nounced by astronomers.
DIR. Arrhenius paid a tribute to the
successful work of American astrono-
mers, renarking wistfully that, in adj
ditien to bright skies, they are also
favored by ample funds for research
and experiment.
