"cHIcAGo'S HEALTH"
Weekly Bulletin, Chicago Department
of Health, Saving the Fit, by
Herman N. Bundesen. M. D.,
Commissioner

THE experts in Chicago's Health
Department have conducted a unique,
scientific study. By the use of birth
and death and population figures and
a lot of higher mathematics they have
now proven that infant welfare work
does not preserve the unfit. And they
have gone even further than this. They
have shown that welfare work actually
works to preserve the fitness Of the
fit" says DIR. Bundesen in his latest
bulletin.
During the year 1910 there were
born in Chicago, 55,468 babies and
there died 6,841, or 1888 out of every
1000 born. Since that time there has
been a gradual decrease in deaths until
during the year 1925 there were born
5000 babies and there died but 4,457,
or rs out Of every 1000 born.
This shows a decline Of 40 per cent
and represents a saving of 1900 lives
in the year 1925 alone, which would
have been lost had the rate Of 1910
prevailed
In 1926, from January to Novem-
Der 80, inclusive, 53,751 babies were
born. Three thousand six hundred
and seventy-seven under one year Of
age died during this period, making
rate Of ga per 1000 births. In jan
uary to November, 1926, the saving of
lives, as compared with 1910, was
3,0O5.
However, the great saving Of 16,623
lives since 1910 has been entirely in
babies over one week old, for during
1910 l,483 babies died during their first
week of life, while during 1925, 1858,
or an actual increase of "A per cent
died. These figures proved clearly that
we have not attacked the root of the
problem" says the Commissioner.
Infant Health is the Nations
Wealth. Infant mortality is largely
preventable. For every dollar that is
available for infant welfare work, the
Health Department can show returns
in infant lives that are saved. In Chi
cago our Health Department has been
bending every effort to reduce the
number Of infant Deaths" says. DIR.
Bundesen.
AT the present time the outstanding
objective is to give the baby chance
before it is born, or prenatal care.
BY presenting the facts regarding
the proper care of the mother in such a
simple way that every pregnant
woman can readily understand them,
we feel that this terrible slaughter Of
the innocents can be greatly reduced
as it is due almost entirely to public
ignorance.
with this end in view, the Chicago
Department Of Health has prepared
book for pregnant women. This book
consists Of 68 pages, about 100 illus
trations and nearly 10000 words, sim
ply written and entitled Before the
Baby Comes" 1t is modelled after the
booklets Our Babies" and 'The Baby
and YOU The results of such health
and education in Chicago
in preparing booklets on the care of
the baby during its first year are shown
by the fact that there have been asa
fewer deaths in babies under one year
so far in 1926 as compared with like
period in 1925. With the booklet "Be-
fore the Baby Comes" it is hoped that
many hundreds of babies under one
month Of age may be likewise saved,
is the opinion Of the Commissioner.

LAKEHURST. N. j.. October 10
The first major flight Of the dirigible
Los Angeles since the Shenandoah
disaster ended at 5:35 o'clock this
morning when the craft arrived over
the air field after a 7So-mile trip
from Detroit.
The flight was completed In IL
hours and s minutes, cruising at an
average speed Of so miles an hour.
The ship travelled a total OF 1850
miles.
1--WE had a very pleasant trip" the
skipper, Lieut.. Comdr. c. E. Rosen-
dahl, said. 1.-THE only trouble we
had was caused by a wireless an
tenna wire becoming loose after we
left Lakehurst.
"Nfr. Ford met us at the mast yes
terday morning and came aboard the
ship. He was deeply impressed by its
performance. He was to take a flight
with us, but the storm warnings
caused an early departure. which
made 1t impossible: Mr.. Ford tender
ed us a wonderful dinner"
The storm that caused the unex-
pected return was not encountered on
the flight, Rosendahl said. It was
due over the Great Lakes region this
morning. A slight frost forced the
Los Angeles to hover over the air
field for an hour and a half. Each
time It attempted q descent to the
cold level within 100 feet of the

It was berthed in tho hangar at 8

|SCR|VENER PISTOL

ufacturer in Hope of OBJ
tanning Number.

Not content to rest on the failure
of the Bureau Of Standards tests to
bring out the number Of the pistol
found at the scene of the murder of
Detective Arthur B. Scrivener early
Wednesday morning, police today had
sent the pistol back to the factory of
the arms manufacturing company for
inspection of factory experts with a
view to establishing its serial number.
Meanwhile a local sporting goods
dealer, who some time ago suffered
the theft of a number of pistols, some
of which were later found to have had
their serial numbers ground off with
an emery wheel, had sent a salesman
expert on firearms to consult with In
spector Henry G. Pratt, chief Of de-
tectives. Sergt. Cornwall of the
Fourteenth precinct, specialist in fire
arms. also appeared at police head
quarters to volunteer his assistance,
if required, in the case. Both the man
from the dealer and Sergt. Cornwall
were informed that the pistol had al
ready been sent away, and it would
not be possible to examine the pistol
in Washington for several days at
least.
The dispatch of the pistol to the
factory, If it did nothing else, opened
anew the hope Of investigators that
this clue would not be wholly lost.
Although 1t may require several days
for the factory experts to report sue
cess or failure of their research work,
1t was pointed out that a lucky
break" might bring the information
much sooner.

DRY LAWS AUTHOR
SEES BOOZE GOING
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, October 16.-The
prohibition law is w1ping out slowly
but surely the liquor traffic Of the
United States, according to Andrew
J. Volstead, sponsor Of the dry en-
forcement act.
Mr.. Volstead, who is legal adviser
Of the Northwest prohibition admins
traitor with headquarters here. told
the Minnesota Anti-Saloon League
convention last night that the unlaw-
full liquor business was becoming un.
profitable and soon will have to be
abandoned because of the various
agencies at work against bootlegging.
1.-THE vets" he said, have organ
ized against prohibition; the drys no
longer have the advantage of the
actual saloon condition which formerly
was a strong factor in fostering SEN
timent favorable to the drys.
-Four stages followed passage Of
the dry law. First. the drunkards
bought patent medicines for their
alcohol. Then attempts were made to
rob Government liquor warehouses.
Later alcohol permits were obtained
for the manufacture Of various prod
ucts in which alcohol was needed,
and then came smuggling Of liquor
from abroad.
To-day all these sources have been
stopped and the business of running
stills and selling liquor Is becoming
very improbable"

INJUNCTION DENIED
IN PAINTERS ROW
Court Finds No Conspiracy in
Higher-Pay, Shorter
Hour Demands.

The purpose Of labor unions to OBJ
tain for their members higher wages
and shorter hours or fewer days Of
work. Is not unlawful, and the
united demand Of 1000 workers, with
out duress or threat, is no moro an
unlawful enterprise than the similar
demand Of q single worker.
This prOnOuncement was made by
Judge James Francis Smith of the
District Supreme Court today in an
opinion refusing an injunction asked
by the Barker Painting Co. Of New
York City against the Brotherhood
Of Painters and PaperhangerS of
America and the Washington local and
it's officers, in which a charge of con-
spiracy was made by the plaintiff
when it was unable to get local
painters to work on the Mayflower
Hotel under the Washington schedule
Of wages.
The Washington painters demand
ed the New York terms Of $1,000 per
day and a five-day week. instead Of
the Washington rate of So per day
and five-and-one-half-da day week. When
they refused to work the New York
concern filed suit for injunction
through Attorney w. G. Sullivan.
The union, through Attorneys Sheehy
& Sheehy, denied there was any con-
spiracy and contended antitrust laws
did not apply to the painting trade,
which is not interstate commerce or
trade.
"Laborers and artisans individually
have the indisputable right" said
Justice Smith, Gin this country to
say upon what terms they will ac-
cept employment, and the employer
on his part Is free to accept or reject
the terms demanded for service.
"Laborers or artisans who combine
to demand a wage which will raise
their standard Of living, or who COM
bine to stabilize local wages or to main
tain the local supply Of labor, or to
make less tempting the migration Of
labor to places having a lower, cost of
living, cannot be regarded as acting
in bad faith or with evil intentions or
for the conSummation Of an Illegal
purpose.
Union terms Of service may not be
economically sound and may strip the
farm Of labor by concentrating the
workers in the cities and towns, but
It cannot be said that combined and
concerted action for higher wages and
less working time is discriminatory or
is designed for an unlawful and ul-
terror purpose. To make It illegal it
must be in violation Of governmental
laws in force and effect"
AS long as no threats were made by
the painters. the court finds, their con-
certed refusal to work cannot be re-
garded as a common-law conspiracy.

500 HUNT BANDITS
WITH GAS BOMBS
Marksmen Ordered to Shoot
on Sight, Roads Closed,
Machine Guns Ready.
By the Associated Press.

SOMERVILLE, N. j.. October 16.-
A great man hunt in the Watchun
Mountain district was intensified to-
day. Some 500 city, State and volun-
teer police, equipped with machine
guns. gas bombs and automatic rifles,
sought eight machine gun bandits
who robbed mail truck in Elizabeth,
N. j.. of $151, 700, killed one man and
wounded two others.
Gov. Moore offered the use Of 1000
militiamen If the forces now at work
should prove insufficient.
The bandit hunt in the generally
peaceful, sparsely settled, wooded
region caused terror among the in
habitants. Children were ordered to
shun motorists, for the bandits es.
capped in two cars. Shades were drawn
in many houses.
The policemen were ordered to shoot
without warning If sure of their sus-
poets. Some Of the hunters were
sharpshooting rif1emen. Picket posts
were established and connected by
telephone to headquarters. All mo-
torists were stopped by armed troop
ers. Nobody was permitted to pass
without establishing his identity.
Smaller roads were blocked by wooden
fences on the theory that If a car
should approach it would be detained
long enough for search. Planes were
sought for use in spotting the bandits.
There was some doubt that they were
still in the region.

Fix on Identity
Mysterious "Mr. Y"
In Hall-Mills Case

New York, Oct. 13-IP)-Everett l..
Parker, a former resident OF New
Brunswick, n. j., who is at present
on the Pacific coast, is the myster-
ious MIR. Y" in the Halls-Mills case,
the New York Times says today.
Parker is said to have been so lden-
titled in the affidavit of Henry l..
Dickman, former New Jersey state
trooper who worked on the original
murder investigation four years ago.
Parker will be brought East for
question.
The prosecution of the case con-
sidered the testimony Of Mr.. Y" so
important that when date for the
first of the trials of the four de-
PENDANTS now under arrest was set
for November 3, time was allowed to
bring him from the coast. He is SAID
TO have heard shots and a Woman's
scream on the night of the murder
and to have been bribed to leave the
state because of his knowledge.
Dickman who supplied the author
tiles with information on MIR. y" or
Parker. is at present held on Gov
errors Island as an army prisoner.
He said he met Parker in an adjoin-
ing cell at the United States discip-
linary barracks on Alcatraz Island in
San Francisco Bay ana recognized
him as figuring in his previous in
vestigation of the murder.
The four defendants awaiting trial
in the case are Mrs. Hall, widow of
the slain rector, her brothers, Henry
and Willis Stevens, and a cousin,
Henry De La Bruyere Carpenter.
