Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hygeia
 the Health Magazine


 Although general mortality rates have dropped steadily for many years. infant mortality rates have not always kept pace.
 The reasons for this discrepancy are varied. The infant mortality rate may. indeed, be taken as an index of the general sanitary condi- tion and health education qualifica- tion of the community concerned.
 Emphasis is made on the latter point particularly because education of the mother before birth of the child is one of the most important factors in assuring its successful birth and life beyond the first year.
 Last year, according to figures compiled and published by the cities in the birth registration area in this country had rate of 72.6 deaths of infants per thousand births, including all babies dying be- fore reaching one year of age.
 Two villages with populations under 25.0O0 - Stonington, Conn, and Winona. Minn.-had the lowest records, 32 per thousand.
 New York had the lowest rate of the 10 largest cities in the country with 64 per thousand. but Seattle continued to maintain its supremacy among all large cities in the birth registration area, with a rate or 45. This enviable position has been held by Seattle for the last four years. Tn southern cities infant mortality rates are greatly increased because of the number of colored children. since infant deaths among Negroes, particularly In the first year of life, are more frequent than among the white population.
 The lowest infant mortality rec ords claimed by any community are those Of New Zealand. There many factors have combined to produce a rate constantly around 40.
 Among the factors concerned are constant emphasis on breast feeding of babies and widespread education of the public by highly trained pub lie health nurses who ar thoroughly conversant with the factors involved in controlling infant mortality
 No doubt the dissemination Of tho population and the climatic Condi- tions play some part. but unques- tionably constant emphasis directed along special lines as mentioned. must be inevitably the means of saving the lives of many babies.

Light vessels plying between

The s. S. Cherokee of the same line
reported she is off Charleston, s. G.

SO far as they know none Of their
vessels are missing.
Fear had been expressed concern
ing the Lamport and Holt Liner
Vandyck, en- route from Buenos

the path OF the storm, but radio

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-A buoy

probable effect on stock values OF
the fearful property destruction by
the Florida hurricane. Selling or
ders crowded the market at the

by the firm tone of the Southern

asserted themselves.
