not the only matters discussed on
these walks, which do much to cement
friendships and add jollity to school
life.
When School is Over.
But the walk TO school is nothing
compared with the walk from 1t. Then
the cares of the day seem to he gone.
as, indeed. they should be during the
iuterim between recitation hours and
study hours to come. The number of
plans that are suggested and schemes
developed for good times during the
walk from school are amazing. And
most of them will probably be carried
out. for youth is quick to plan and
eager to do what has been decided
upon.
Missing Out on Walk.
The child who lives in big city and
who has to take a car tn school misses
out on these wonderful walks. Moth
ing can quite take their place. The
travel to and fro is unintereSting in "A
trolley. Talk can be enjoyed but little
in the noise and crowd. What is more
the exercise so sorely needed by per.
sons doing brain work is gone in one
of its most pleasurable forms. Some
thing has TO be devised , lure the
children out into the open again when
once they are at home. 1t may take
the form of gymnasium practice or er-
rands-generally abnorred by youths.
And each day brings the problem to
mothers of how to make their young
folks exercise pleasant.
Driving to School.
Driving to school in an auto is far
more agreeable than travelling in a
trolley. Better air can be breathed
and the noise of the trolley is elimi
mated, or the roar of a subway train.
But with all these advantages there
still remains the fact that children
who drive to school forfeit the exer-
else of walking. which is second to
none in point of value to heath.

Shall it be sed that the Pottses went

INCREASED GASOLINE TAX
PROBABLE

If the administration bills pass
the present Legislature motorists
will have an increase in their
gasoline bills.
The bills are sponsored by John N.
Mackall, chief engineer OF the State
Roads Commission, who appeared
before the committee and explained
the measures They would add
21a cents to the present gasoline
tax.
One bill would authorize ~
cents of the increase for lateral
road construction. The other meas
ure would allow cent for the
elimination of grade crossing in the
State.
Mr.. Mackall estimated that this l
cent tax would raise $1,000, 900
annually for this embarrassing
elimination work, which, he said,
could be finished in ten years.
Railroad companies, he stated, would
match this sum annually.
The members of the committee, it
was reported, are not in favor of a
tax bearing fractional part of e
cent due to the tendency OF dealers
to add the additional amount neces
sary to make the selling price in
round figures.
Feeling that an increase to cents
a gallon would be too high it was
said the committee has decided tt
cut the tax to cents. This would
be an increase of one hundred
per cent
The committe, it was said, will
allow the additional tax of " cents
for lateral roads to go through
unchanged.
Several members of the committee
pointed out that a half cent rate
would raise 100000 annually, for
grade crossing elimination. Whel
the railroads pay their share O.
| 100000 they said it would give tho
State Roads Commission $1,0O0,00(
annually to begin the work.

oers, the $1,O00,000 would give the

work and if more speed were

SAFER FOR MARYLAND
BABIES

Last year was a favorable yea,
for the babies in Maryland, accord
ing to the records at the State
Department of Health, with 16S
fewer deaths among children under {
year old, than in 1925. The tota
1umber of baby deaths during the
year, was 1888; the total in 1925.
was 1856.
Referring to these figures, DR.
John S. Fulton, Director of the
State Department of Health said
it is only when we face squarely the
total number of baby deaths that
occur each year, that we realize the
tremendous task we have before us
in order that we may make Mary
land safer place for the babies
who are born in it. 1t is a task il
which all forces have to help
health officers, doctors, public health
nurses, all who are interested in
the welfare of the community, and
particularly the fathers and mothers.
Somebody summed up the situa'
lion very aptly few years ago in
the remark that the business of be
ing a baby is one of the most
hazardous occupations. Babies as
we'll as grown-ups, are protected by
the safeguards that are thrown
around the people of the State
through the general work OF the
State Department of Health. But
here are special activities carried or
which center about the mother and
The baby, and there has been {
noticeable saving of lives as a result
If these measures,
Few people realize that rearly
lalf of the babies who die, slip
way before they are month old
his is true not only in Maryland,
tut in every part of the country and
wherever public health work is done,
every effort is being made to help
The mothers and to help tide the
babies over this critical period
these babies who slip out of life so
soon are not the unfit, but are the
children who have not had good
start. Children as frail as this may
survive their first year only to slip
away soon afterwards. This il
shown by the fact that when tn,
lumber of baby deaths is reduced
there are fewer deaths among tho
older children.
lit is obvious that the best way
to give a baby good start In life
IS through proper preparation an6
good care of the mother-to-be.
and the next step is helpful advice
IN baby hygiene and baby care after
the baby arrives. Both of these
measures are available for the
mothers and babies in Maryland.
