Know Good Cars, Too

As Detroit goes in the sale Of mo

In automotive circles Detroit retail
sales have come TO be taken as a
barometer OF the trend OF motor car
retail sales thruout the country This
Is due to the fact that the Detroit
buying public is perhaps the best
Informed and most cxacung motor
car purchasing public In the world
In this exacting market the new
Oakland six has hung up another
record by doubling its deliveries in

Guard Patrols Discovery Claims.
The exposed rock on the surface of
the Gilbert holdings is so rich that an
armed guard patrols the place night
and day. Thousands have visited the
strike. 1t is estimated that not less
than 5000 has been given away in
specimens.
Hundreds of prospectors are In the
surrounding hills. Many new stril-es
have been reported. Every day the
interest grows more intense. Old-time
gold seekers are coming back from
Mexico, from Canada and elsewhere.

Lack OF Prenatal Clinics In Cities
Surveyed Blamed In Report
to Conference.

New York.-For every thousand ba-
bies born in eighty-six cities in the
United States seven mothers give up
their lives, DIR. George 7. Palmer, di-
rector of research IF the American
Child Health association, reported at
the national conference on child health
held at Columbia university under the
auspices o. the Institute of Arts and
Sciences.
Some OF the places In which inves-
LEGATIONS were made, Doctor Palmer
said, lose 10 per cent of the babies
born, largely because the cities are
not provided with prenatal clinics.
'Diphtheria attacked nearly seven
thousand persons, mostly children, In
these cities a year ago." said Doctor
Palmer. "Only 40 cities, however,
have made any material beginning In

"1n only 81 cities is the water sup
ply above suspicion, and only q Of
these have 90 per cent or more Of the
milk pasteurized. The promising health
note of this survey is that each city
has health officer, but only half Of
them devote full time to their work.
Every city has a public health service.
''In 54 of the cities health informa.
ton Is being taught in the schools, in
the language that the child under
stands. Out of 900 schools visited the
common drinking cup was found In
only 13. The majority Of children are
sleeping with their windows open"

were Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsay, pro-
fessor Of social legislation at Columbia
university, who presided; Emma Dol
