SHORE BOASTS BEST
BABIES IN MORTALITY
Trend Toward Fewer and Better
Births Exceed Deaths.

a trend toward fewer and bet
ter babies in Atlantic City is no
ticeable in vital statistics made
public by the United States De-
partment of Commerce.
Infant mortality rates for 1925,
although generally higher in ma
ny sections of the country than
those for 1924, were lower in At
lantic City. At the same time,
the birth rate was also lower, so
that though fewer babies were
born here in 1925 than in 1924,
more of them survived.
Births exceeded deaths in At
lantic City during 1925 by 1856,
the births totaling 1882 and the
deaths 1916.

CHILD BRIDES
MOTHER GONE

Grief over the marriage of her
13-year.oId daughter, coupled with
the belief that her husband blamed
her for the daughters act, caused
Mrs. Louis Henry Hardison, 35, Of
127 F st. N. W., to leave home last
Tuesday morning, and she has not
been heard from since.
According to Caddie Hardison, 1S-
year-old brother Of Violet, his sister
married February Is. keeping the
wedding a secret until last Monday
night.
When the father, a carpenter,
came home, according to the son.
he berated both his wife and the
daughter, for the marriage. The
son, however, defends his mother,
declaring that she knew nothing
Of the daughters marriage.
The mother left home, telling
her four children that she was go
ing shopping and would be back
at noon. Investigation developed
the fact that she borrowed SIS
from neighbors Tuesday.
When last seen Mrs. Harrison
wore a gray coat, henna colored
hat and a black dress and shoes.
She is described as being small.
