plegate, two OF the nieces and nep-
hews inheriting the estate, appealed
from the decree in the orphans court,
claiming that the estate should be
equally divided among the numerous
heirs per capita equally, and not per
stripes, by first apportioning the estate
into three equal parts and distributing
these parts TO the respective children
Of the deceased half sisters.
/ In the final decree, Vice Ordinary

OUR CHILDREN AND THEIRS

7 N the midst of great coal strike. Secre-
tary of Labor James ]. Davis has time tt
worry about babies and child welfare. He
thinks they are not getting square deal in
America.
Davis has just returned from several
months in England, studying industrial and
social conditions. And he is convinced that the
British are doing better job in safeguarding
the health of mothers and babies than we are.
These observations Of the versatile cabinet
officer and chief of large fraternal order are
given weight here not only because his depart
ment handles these problems but because he
is the founder of world famous children's home
out at Moosehart, Ill.
Here is what Davis has to say about child
conditions in Britain compared with America:
"An American who visits the English child

Folks, right now is the appointed time to
talk paving to-M Morton to the members of the
State Highway Commission. If we don't do it
|P. D. O. the 1926 paving program will be all fill
ed in and we will be left out. There is no logi-
cal nor legitimate reason why this stretch of
road which is travelled by hundreds of motorists
each week, should not be put in state of per-
manent goodness-and that is possible only by
paving it. We have every confidence ir Com
missioner Babcock and his aides and have no
doubt that they amenable to reason in this
thing-only if we wait too long the time for
reasoning will have gone by. Wouldn't it be
nice if, all through this week of the Redwood
County fair we could drive to and from the fair
grounds on paving? Well, if we persuade the
State to pave this stretch on Highways A and
ID, we could do just that. And think what it
would mean by way of dust elimination Let's
start in on the job now so that when it comes
fair time in 1926 the paving will be all ready.

death rate is lower than New York's or Chicago's
or Philadelphia's or Boston's The best Of their
work is excellent but it is no better if as good
as our own.
"They are however reaching very much
larger percent Of the mothers and babies than
we are in the United States.
"The United States Government, is expend-
ing at the present time less than S90O.OUO
wear in subsidies to the promotion OF health
program for mothers and babies. Great Britain
is expanding nearly five times that smount in
"rrants in aid to local communities of maternity
and child health, enabling the health visitors
to reach an estimated 80 percent of the children
born in a year in England and Wales, and ID
percent Of the expectant mothers.
With our larger population, greater dis
tances and higher costs for both service and ma
terial, we are obviously able to do much less
for babies and mothers than Great Britain. The
provisional figures of the Vital Statistics Divis-
ion of the Bureau of the Census indicate sub
stantial drop in the infant death rate for both
urban and rural communities in the U. S. Birth
Registration Area during 1924.
"But even with this improvement the in
FAINT death rate in the United States is higher
than in England and Wales and higher than in
Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and The Irish
Free State, while no state in the U. S. area has
as low a rate as New Zealand or Australia. 1t
is quite evident there that the United States
can not afford to slacken is interest or reduce
in any way the intelligent expenditures Of funds
to reduce the death rate among babies.
"The report on maternal mortality which will
be published soon by the bureau, shows that a
very high percent of the losses are due to pre-
ventabe causes. 1t is therefore, especially I'M
portant that the program for prevention of the
unnecessary deaths in childhood should be pushed.
Here, too the United States lags behind many
other countries. With American leadership in
obstetrics we should be able to change this
situation" Daily Press.
