 Over Preceding Year

The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Visiting Nurse Association was held Tuesday at 5c Center street. Mrs. Ern- est NJ. Smith. president. presiding.
 Mrs. Valentine B. Chamberlain reported that the following organiz- cd groups and individuals had deliv- cred dressings to the organization during the month of January: the Daughters of the King of St. Mark 5 Episcopal church. Womans Mission ary Society of the South Congrega- tional church: Loving Service club of the Baptist church: Junior High school girls club, Mothers club and Woman's Missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal church., Nathan Hale Junior High school class, Cur rent Events club. Mrs. Lester A. Nibberts and the Maple Hill Wo- mans club.
 Mrs. Noah Lucas reported for the infant hygiene division. showing that sixty new babies had been admitted during January and that total of 5o9 babies under two years of age are being carried by the Visiting Nurse Association at the infant wei fare conferences.
 Mrs. Harry M. Bates reported. from a recent meeting of board members, held in New Haven, the trend of maternal deaths in the United States as compared with other countries. She said that the United States with it's maternal mor- tality rate of per 1000 live births. ranked last in tho list as compared with such countries as Denmark, Netherlands. Sweden. Chili, New Zealand, Italy. France and Spain. New Britain as 8 city, she said. rated 5.7 maternal deaths per 1000 live births in 1926, and showed a de- crease of t.2 in the rate for 1927. This decrease, she believed. was partly due to increased hospitallza : tion of patients, and in part to the home prenatal and confinement serv- ice given by the Visiting Nurse As sociation. Mrs. Hattie Recknagel, q member of the Visiting Nurse Asso- citation staff. reproduced in part, an excellent demonstration of the care of the modern baby, seen recently at the New Haven conference. She also reported back on a posture clinic which is a feature Of the united health program for the child in New Haven.

Chinese Beggars Use
Snake to Compel Gifts

Begging Is thoroughly organized
profession in China and the beggers
guilds are powerful organizations.
The beggar lives in indescrlbable
,squalor, but often he is destitute In
name and appearance only. The guilds
WELD a powerful Influence, especially
in the interior provinces. BY form
of blackmall. they collect "fiOwery
dues" from such persons as they are
able to abstract them from. They
pick out a possible victim and II he
refuses their demands he Is pursued
until he is compelled to submit or Is
broken by the efforts of the guild.
The head OF one Of these guilds, In
explaining the presence Of basket
full of snakes in the courtyard of the
guild headquarters, said: Some Of
our members find these snakes useful
In collecting their fiowery dues from
,greedy-hearted ones. To dwell upon
the fierce love Of money In men, and
especially In women, weighs down the
spirit Often the tao-Tan has to throw
snake round a woman's neck before
she will drop her grudging gift. The
act Invariably arouses IN those who
behold it so great degree Of terror
that they quickly avoid similar Incon'
venienee."

Before Mankind KnetU
of Food Personalities

II Is easy to realize that much Of
the food eaten in prehistoric times,
as well as In classical times, as we
can prove, was putrescent, and to be
able to eat It properly man acquired
a tolerance for rottlng provisions.
There were no facilities such as we
have today for the preservation Of
perlshable food. Grain and seeds, II
is true. could be kept Fruits and
roots could be dried. Fish and meats
could be cured or salted-but there
seems to be little evidence that this
was done to any considerable extent
In the days before the Christian
era, in Rome and In Greece, laws were
passed In order to prevent the sale
Of rotten food, yet II seems a fair sup
position that the strong seasoning
and the highly favored sauces and
condiments used In that age were not
SO much intended to satisfy a taste
for strong flavorings as they were to
disguise an evil taste of the decay.

coveted.
Sally was late In appearing at Lucy
Morc's, for before she appeared there
she had to distribute the little gifts
for her nelghbors. The sight of old
Mrs. Beach beaming over her foreign

nah jongg set compensated Sally for
the old white flannel and she arrived

She found a shivering group about
the fireplace where fire refused to
burn. Something had gone wrong
With the heating plant, Lucy ex-
planned, and the best she could do was
to furnish scarves and wraps for her
girl friends. Outside a white frost
gathered and within the temperature
sank lower and lower.
The card tables were thrust aside
and romping games were played, while
the elder Mnres fastened to provide
hot cocoa In the place Of the chilly
refreshments designed for the party.

wearing either scarf or shawl and
braved II out In spite of visible goose
flesh. Sally In her white flannel was
warm enough, and In her desire to
help Lucy out of bad situation ex.
