importance Of sane driving, Score

conduct himself on the roads as Il
everyone else was born foolish
He was applauded for his declara

These figures are for the L. s.
birth registration area. which has
been expanded gradually since 1915.
Introduction OF new states may have
caused fluctuations. but on the
whole the rates are regarded as
fairly indicative.
Among approximately 500 report
ing cities. Provo. Utah. showed the
lowest baby death rate in 1881
per 1000. Charleston, :. G., showed
the highcst-155 per 1000.

Hunting the principal cause. Of
baby deaths. the Z. s. children's bu.
reau has found that the death rate
rises ns the fathers income falls.
The rate among infants whose faith.
ers earn less than $3.50 a year is
more than three times as high ~
that in families where the father
earns $3.50 or over. This influence
OF economic pressure on infant NOR.
tally was found TO be independent
Of race or nationality.
Another discovery was that the
employment OF mothers, while add.
ing 10 the family income. increased
the baby death rate stlr more. The
disadvantages associated with tho
mothers employment more than
Offset the advantage derived from
her salary.
Low family income was found 10

Half OF the infants dying during
the first year OF life expire during
the first six weeks after birth. More
children die from conditions related
