HEALTH NOTES
By Dr. Dan E. Standard

How sad indeed is the fact that thousands of infants and hun dreds of Mothers of America and other lands also, die every year, whose lives could be spared to comfort and bless others, simply because the prospective Mother has not had the information and in tluction she is entitled to have. Some customs are carried over from one generation to another, that are hurtful to health and dan- dreds of Mothers of Americ and gerous to life. Light and knowl- edge has helped much in this field of protecting the lives of infants and their mothers, but we certain ly have not gone far enough, nor made enough progress, when the figures recently given out by the United States Public Health Service shows that one out of every one hundred and fifty mothers die in childbirth. That means that 15, 1000 mothers die in the United States every year this way. Awful! isn't it? It is an awful harvest of death that is largely unnecessary.
 The report states that almost ono quarter million infants under the age of one year die every year in America, and of these 100000 die the first month of their lives. This will be vastly changed when prospective mothers have instruc- tions she is entitled to as mothers of our children. The Public Health Service is trying to spread propo- ganda of health instructions and educational campaign especially for yomen, and many States are mo
 Ing the offer of the government to go fifty-fifty on the expense of car rying on such an educational cam paign. What a boon to Motherhood and infant life this is proving to be is already being felt and seen in

The National Association of Att torney Generals Bar Association of the American Bar Association which was held recently in Denver. Colo. has proposed plan for the protection of persons and estates of incompetent ex-service men and minor wards of the Government.
 Director Frank T. Hines; of the Veterans Bureau was advised of the proposal in telegram receiv- ed from William Wolff Smith, gen. eral counsel of the Bureau, attend ing the convention at Denver.

many States. It is a most unfortunate thing, but fact nevertheless, that many a prospective mother does not consul physician until few minutes or hours before the birth of the baby. She should have counsel and in- structions from the first day she knows her condition. I here quote some of recent article by Dr.Copeland on this sub ject, which is worthy of reproduc- tion and attention.
 The great trouble with young ! mothers is that they hesitate to talk about the matters we are discus sing. They are unwilling to con- fide in the family physician. This IS a mistake Frankness and good sense at this time will mean the saving of a baby's life and perhaps the saving of a mother, too. The first thing young couple should do after choosing a place of residence is to find out where Is the nearest good doctor. If you gre in doubt about this, ask the health officer of the town to tell you. Go to the priest or rabbi or | minister and let him advise where | there is an upstanding, fine physi- elan. Don't be in hurry to make the selection, but when you have decided what doctor you want, let the young couple call upon the phy- sician and make his acquaintance. Tell the doctor you are more anx- ious to stay we'll than to get well. Don't be afraid to pay him a fee now and then, even though you don't seem to be in particular need | medical attention.
 The advice I have given you is good advice no matter what hap | pens, but if there is a prospect of an addition to the family, the young couple is negelecting a manifest duty if medical advice is not taken in the very beginning. It is this sort of thing the Public Health Service has in mind in it's campaign for defeating disease and death. 1 Here is q menu for the over weight woman during pregnancy This menu yields 2,OOO calories daily, as compared with 5000 cal l ories necessary for the average, and 4,OOO for the underweight wo- man:

Who "Owns''
 Union Oil?
The answer is, '1o2oo people," of whom no one indi vidual owns than per cent Probably some of
 your friends are "owners."

And most of this stockholding by en. ployes is investment ownership, with no thought of speculation. It is "rainy" day" saving-capital accounts" "stake" for independence.
 It represents belief in the Company, confidence and trust in its permanence and future.
 To us, this means deep obligation on our part-a trust that we must keep.
 And in keeping it for those who work for us we keep it for all others-for our. selves who own our own stock, for our employees, and for you outside. Because you own the same stock as we do if you are on our stockholders list.
 So when you think of Union Oil." think of it as human-as an institution owned and operated by an everyday type of home-loving human beings, not by the wealthy or by few "big capitalists"
 Union Oil Company of California is a Western Company, making non-

He predicts the greatest drilling

this city's advantages and artistic
achievements was given added volume
Saturday when directors of popular
orchestras joined with beads of mn

support to the project.
If the plans now under way are car

number of municipal programs and
gain nationwide publicity.
Already the principal musical or
CARNATIONS of the city have expressed
approval of the plan to broadcast
these programs over VICAR the super
station Operat d by the Southern
Radio Corporation of Texas, and The
San Antonio Light. The use of the
station has been offered gratis. Mu-

ORCHESTRAS BACK PLAN.
Popular orchestras Saturday showed
they were unanimously in favor of
the plan. Each offered to cooperate
with-the other organizations in insur-
ing the best talent there is in the city
for the programs.
Don Felice, director of the Palace
Theater Symphony, not only heart
lily pledged his organization to help
broadcast San Antonio TO the world,
