MOTOR AND oil
STOCKS OFF
International News Service

NEW YORK, June 24.-Profes-
sional selling of the industrial
stocks was resumed in the first
hour Of trading today in an effort
to force lower prices for the prin-
cipaI market leaders which have
covered the most ground in the
forward movement of the last few
weeks.
Lower prices were recorded for
the bulk OF the motor. oil and
speciality stocks. though losses were
moderate and rarely exceeded two
points.
The reactionary. tone of the oil
stocks followed announcement Of
another fractional decline in whole
sale gasoline and Kerosene prices
at the principal interior markets,
bringing prices down from to 2
cents gallon in the last week
or SO.
Partial confirmation of the mer-
ger plans for Shelly Oil resulted
in some buying of that stock at
36N, the highest price Of the year
to date, but interest in the oil
stocks Jagged and the volume Of
trading was small.
The Nickel Plate Railroad stocks
were in demand on reports that q
new consolidation plan, soon to be
announced. would be satisfactory
to all stockholders and might in
clude other roads, including Chicago
and East Illinois.
New York, Chicago ana st. Louis
sold up about five points at $50,
nre ~
two at 1S4A. Dividend railroad
shares were inactive but firm.
The market as a whole was duh
and featureless In this period, with
little but professional activity to-
account for the turning over Of
industrial stocks. Call money was

The campaign has progressed
to the stage that the fight for the
Republican nomination for Gov
ernor has narrowed down to
F. w. Richardson for reelection
and C. C. Young for Lieutenant
Governor. All others are merely
running. so it is up to the voter
to consider the reords of tie men
and their affiliations. Mr.. Young
belongs to the johnson crowd
and if elected the machine will be
brought into being. Young is a
resident of classic Berkeley, and
it is alleged that he is a member
of a real estate firm. If this be
a fact, with the all-important
subject of residential segrega-
ton likely to crop up in some
manner in the coming State
legislature, we believe it to be
the part of wisdom to be careful
and see that no man whose past
affiliations and sympathies are
against us should slip through.
We know that Richardson signed
the anti-mask bill. we know he
stands for law and order, and
about the only charge that is
made against the Governor is
that he has pried the tax-eaters
from their jobs, and regardless
of the mass of figures to confuse
the record shows real economy
and a surplus. Re-elect Friend
w. Richardson.

BABY MORTALITY
ALARMING

bv the United States census returns,
relating to the excessive death rate
among Negro babies is true it shows
an alarming situation.
According to these figures which
cover some thirty states and the DIS.
trict of Columbia, the proportion OF
deaths among Negro infants less
:..an one year of age was nearly
double and in some places more
than double those of whites. The
accuracy of this is, however, open
to question on the ground that rec
ords of births are not always as ex.
act as records of deaths. Even at
that the excess of deaths is still too
great.
If there is a failure to report the
births, in many cases, it would tend
to show a disproportionate death
rate, because there could be no fail
ure to report the deaths. The in
vestigator who studied these figures,
called the attention to the fact that
the City of Wilmington, DEL, had the
unenviable distinction of having
larger colored infant mortality than
any other city having population
of one hundred thousand or more
inhabitants. And yet Wilmington
has at least ten colored physicians
md a colored member on the Board
of Health:
We publish here a few of the
cities mentioned in the tabulated
statement sent us to give our readers
an idea how it stands in the cities
we are most familiar with.
Oakland 83 colored "a white
San Francisco, 76 colored 53white
Los Angeles 81 coIored 66 white
If the facts are as indicated by
these hgures, there is something rad
ically wrong with the treatment or
lack of treatment given infants by
doctors, nurses or midwives. In
Washington, D. c., where there is
no scarcity of colored doctors, and
nurses, there were twice as many
deaths among colored infants as of
the other race.
The suvival of any race depends
upon the saving of the children and
their growth to maturity. Insur.
ance rates are also based upon the
ratio of deaths to population and an
excessive death rate means increased
premiums. The Importance of these
statistics to the we'll being, and in
tact the continued existence of the
race cannot be disputed. 1t is up
to the doctors to take up this mat.
ter and to investigate it from every
standpoint.
We have in. Oakland and San
Francisco a free baby clinic and
it would be grand idea to have
Busch-Orvis for such a purpose and
supported entirely by members of
our group and all our doctors give
tree OF their time two hours daily.
Then they should inquire if there

The taxpayers of Oakland will
probably escape a raise on the
valuation of property this year.
Budget makers announce that
the tax rate will likely be the
same as last year-$2.5O on $1OO
This is very kind. and no doubt
will be appreciated by taxpayers
But we suppose a city beautiful
must have money to run it.
