When Oliver Wendell Holmes, the great poot-ph! sician. read to the Boston Society for Medical lEl- prorcmrnt q paper on "Thc Con- tagiousnoss Of Pucrperal Fever in February. lS43, he cInchod for America the credit tor having pointed the Way 10 making mother hood free from the horror Of child bed fever,
 Today, however. by some con- tIariness in human nature, the United States has the highest nla- ternal mortality of any major civi- lized country.
 Whereas, in the little country Of Denmark, only 2% out of every hundred thousand women delivered Gie, in the Unled States the rate is as high as GG per hundred thou sand
 In most other branches of pub lie health work our country has made marvellous progress. In ma ternal mortality, however. we have stood still.
 This condition is q serious chal- lcnsc to the medical profession and the country at large.
 The subject has been Up for dis Cussion at practically all important medical congresses, and no doubt with the intensified appreciation of inc seriousness of the matter N. may expect 10 obtain some favor able results in the next few years.
 To hasten improvement, ho"- ever, the public must learn to HD- prcCiatc the nature of the prop- lem and 10 do it's part in solving f And this involves closer coop cratiou with tho medical and of l. cial health bodies in making pre- natal care universal.
 II is univcr sally recognized that many Of the deaths that now tah4 place among women could be avoided if the mothCrS-to had placed themselves earlier und"i the carc of a competent physician, hospital. or clinic.

Chatterer started back for the wasn't until he reached the Green Forest that he remembered that he didn't know just where Timmy lived, He never had been much interested in his Cousin Timmy. In fact, ne very seldom saw Timmy. You see, Timmy sleeps through the day, while Chatterer sleeps through the night. So it is seldom they meet.
 Chatterer stopped and scratched his head thoughtfully. "Of course" said he to himself, "Timmy is sleep ing in a hollow tree. There are a lot of hollow trees in the Green Forest. I have found one or two If Timmy's old homes, but just where he is living at present l don't know. wonder who would know. I sup. pose he's probably using some o'l home of Drummer the Woodpeck"r. wonder if Drummer would know. Any way it won't do any harm to ask"
 Not far away the rata -tat-tat jf Drummer the Woodpeckcr told Chatterer just where Drummer was. He hurried over there. Drummer was at work cn a dead limb hi% up in tree. Chatterer scrambled up the treee. Hello, Drummer" he cried as soon as he was ne.tr enough. Do you know where Tim my the Flying Squirrel lives?'
 Drummer stopped drumming long enough 10 look sharply at Chatterec, and replied somewhat grossly, No, I don't I don't want to know. If l did know, wouldn't tell you. It's his business and not yours or mine.' With this. Drummer flew over 10 another tree.

Chattercr the Red Squirrel had had a dream. So very real was that dream that when Chattercr awomc at the break of day he could hardly believe that he was there in his snug bed in the hollow tree in the Green Forest. He actually rubbed his cy-s and looked around to see if he were alone.
 "Tiu,ny ought to be here" mut- tered ChattcrCr, who was not Vet fully awake. I don't sec where ne l. He was here only minute ago And the ChattcrCr became fully awake and realized that he was al home in his hollow tree where, Of course, TimmE would not be. He realized that no must have ben dreaming. He sighed. "I wish it had all been true instead of dream, . said he. "I can sec Cousin Timmy hringinS mo corn now. He had found q way of getting into Farm CT Browns corn crib and he was not only getting all he wanted for

 Now. Timmy IS, as you know. the Flying Squirrel Just before he had gone to bed the night before, Cha.- t,rer had received a visit from his cousin Timmy. Probably it WIS that visit that had made Chatter5r dream of rimnn. Now that he WIS wide awake. Chatterer couldn't for get that dream. As usual, he went UP to Farmer Browns dooryard just for a look around. He knew ha couldn't get into that corn crib, but he just couldn't keep away. He even climbed up in the tree near 1he corn crib-the one from which ti'e broken limb had been cut. As he looked down on the roof if the col Il crib the memory of his dream sud denly popped into his head once more.
 If l could jump like Timmy,' thought Chatterer, it would be no trick at all for me 10 get out of that corn crih.' And right then an ides, popped into Chattcrer's head. He actually became excited over it "Why didn't ] think of it before. he exclaimed, "Ill just get Timmy tc go in that corncrib and drop some corn out to me.

 Do l look like the half wits who leave loaded rcvolyers around in bureau drawers and writing desks "'' he had demanded hotly at one stage Q; the argument. Please give ale credit for having an ounce or two of brains."

not only the embarrassment, but
! happens they do not have proper
credentials showing their right to
drive a motor vehicle.
This suggestion has been offered
by Chas. C. James, secretary of the
Ohio State Automobile association,
who has just completed an investi-
cation. following numerous COM
plants from motorists of what they
believed to be i'll treatment receiy-
ed at the hands of Pennsylvania
authorities, in being arrested for
violation of the motor laws of that
state.
He finds that most of the arrests
have been due to the fact that Ohio
motorists are ignorant of the driv.
Jig requirements in the neighboring
state. and on account of not having
drivers license, they have been
unable in most instances to show
some evidence that they have right
to operate motor vehicle in Ohio.
This ignorance, however, has failed
to relieve them from the situation
in which they find themselves whea
arrested, and as a result are COM
PEELED TO pay fine assessed in the
justice of the peace court.
It has been found, however, that
any Ohio motorist who owns his own
automobile, may drive legally ia
Pennsylvania without being dis.
turbed providing he carries his reg
istration card, as the neighboring
state recognizes the fact that Ohio
does not require operators licenses
for owners of motor vehicles. On
the other hand, any person employ
ed as a paid driver by a company,
and who operates truck or pleasure
car, must produce a paid operators
or chauffeur's license in order to
drive an automobile legally in Penn
sylvania.
Another feature of the motor
code of Pennsylvania that should
not be overlooked, provides that
when a motorist is operating an Ohio
car privately owned, even though
the owner of the car is an occupant
at the time, he must have reg
istration card showing that he owns
a car of his own if he is not paid
driver in the employ of the owner.
If he is a paid driver, he would
then naturally have a chauffeur's l.
cense. Failure to have registra-
tion card makes the operator liable
to arrest in Pennsylvania.
Secretary James in addition to
pointing out the requirements OF
the Pennsylvania motor code, sug-
gests that it is most advisable for
all automobile owners in Ohio to
carry their registration card at als
times, whether they are driving ln
their own state or out. He added
that a car owner can never tell
what emergency might arise that
would make it important to be able
to establish his identity as the own
er Of the car he is driving.
The secretary Of the Ohio State
Automobile association has been as
sured there is no disposition in
Pennsylvania to impose on motor
lists from Ohio. who are in a posi-
tion to establish their right to drive
an automobile in their home state
For that reason he urges all car
! owners to carry their proper Gre
dentials if contemplating a trip in
to the neighboring state just to the
east.
