Dr. Farrell Sees Infant Death Rate
 Being Reduced
Preventive Medicine Boon to Childhood Motherhood More Intelligent, Conscious of Superior Knowledge of Facts and Their Application to Life

The following article prepared for the Democrat by pr John F. Far rell, child specialist, stresses the ad- vancement in methods of caring for children as observed by him during his daily practice:
 In the state of Connecticut, 20 years ago, more recently in other states, the preventable death rate in infants during the first year was over 10 per cent. One child in every 10 was needless sacrifice to ignor- ance. To-day in our country, thanks to our intelligent motherhood and the enforcement of preventive mea- sures by our local and federal gov ernment. this waste of life has been very considerably reduced.
 The virtue of old time infant well fare was too much mother 1ove--to be noted when she swaddled and smothered her infant against drafts of fresh air and exposure to the sun rays-to be noted in the patent foods and single cows milk so care fully selected for her offspring.
 The virtue of present day infant welfare is common sense in the ap- plication of advanced knowledge on the part of the mother in the care of her infant.
 AhC UANScAA6S VI thO Viu lC6AhiO were the solace of loving her baby too well and a sublime faith in the time worn traditions-never mind the frequent deaths. the rickets, tu- herculosis. intestinal diseases of the
 Hy. etc.
 The blessings of the new regime -e. the consciousness of superior
 swledge and the application of
 knowledge to the needs of her
 Ting offspring.
 lnks to growing developments
 reventive medicine, smallpox,
 ,oid fever, diphtheria, tuber-
 bsis and the common type of meningitis no longer menace our young. What with sera, vaccines, vitamines, supervision of milk and food stuffs, tuberculin testing of cattle. and sunshine, the golden era of child welfare seems at hand.
 Even whooping cough, scarlet fever, measles and the pneumonias
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-19

are losing ground and, to me, it seems not long when their ravages may be things of the past.
 Milk contamination will occa- sionally occur, however carefully the handling: When in doubt boil all milk. Boiled milk and cod liver |oil are perfectly designed to pre- vent rickets and promote health growth.
 x Vitamines, ultraviolet rays, heat germicides, strength and vigor are all packed in sunlight-the ordinary everyday sunshine. Therefore plenty of sunshine-first. last. and all the time plenty of sunshine, applied freely and to all parts of the body.
 Diphtheria toxoid, sure preyen- tive for diphtheria Is a harmless substance and two injections of a few drops each given once moRth is a positive preventive for diph- fheria.

Few Children
 Free of Defects
Many Present Before Child
 Enters School Age

The New York State Department ol Helath declares the following: Do you know that there are few chil- dren In our schools who are free from physical defects? Do you know that many of these defects are pres ent in the child before he enters school?
 Do you know that most of the de- fegts, diseases and disabilities found in children can be prevented by proper care and hygiene? Do you know that when these defects are found they can be corrected if dis covered and treated early enoughY :.
 Do you know that measles and whooping cough are very dangerous diseases during the first three years of life?
 We all know that parents want their children to grow and develop normally. to be able to compete with children of their own age, and to be-. come healthy. vigorous men ana their time will bring into the world well born children.
 We all know that these. results cannot be secured if your children are handicapped early in life. It Is your duty and your children's right that provision should be made by you for the essentials renumerated in the above quoted statment of the Federal Chiidren's Bureau that they have the proper care and supervision during the period of 2-e years of age as we'll as during infancy; that they have Q complete and thorough medi- cal examination at least twice q year; that # disease or defects are found you follow your physician's advice and follow his instructions regarding their needed care and treatment.

should form the main diet of chil- dren. Tomato juice as cool drink, or combined with the liquid from other canned vegetables is very wholesome because of it's wealth of yitamins.
 By judicious use of evaporated milk a meal may be made 10 yield extra calories. Undiluted, it has all the components of whole milk it is whole milk-and with certain other foods. suits the taste of many people much better. For instance, in cocoa, in cream soups, in scal- lops and buildings, evaporated milk. undiluted, helps to produce richer dish than when the ordinary fresh milk is used.

Here Are 12 Practical
 Points About Babies Care

8. Promiscuous kissing of small babies is one of the surest ways of causing them to develop coughs. colds. bronchitis. influenza. and other serious diseases that arc transmitted in this way.
 4. If the relatives and friends insist on kissing the baby's hands, the hands should be washed im- nediately thereafter. The baby is likely to put his hands promptly in his mouth.
 5. Normal babies frequently cry a few minutes when first put to bed. If 1t cries for more than half hour or with an unusually vociferous or distressed cry. 1t may be picked .up. held over the mothers left shoulder and patted on the back to bring up the gas. Then 1t should be examined to see if 1t is wet or too warm and If the feet are cold. If everything is normal, the baby may be put back to bed and left alone.
 6. After the cord separates about one week after birth, the bahy should hayea tub bath at least once each day.s The most convene lGHt ID aQVut 0nG AhOuE UGtOAr its second morning feeding.
 6 z. The proper Temperature for the baby's bath Is between 9S end 100 degrees. As it gets older, this may be reduced to 95 degrees. If a bath thermometer is not available, the mother may test the temperature by putting her elbow in the water.
 8. If the baby has Q cold. the tub bath may be substituted by a warm sponge bath.
 9. The child should not be put in water if 1t has a fever. except under physicians orders.
 10. Most authorities believe that babies should wear stockings to keep the feet from getting cold.
 II. A fat baby is not necessarily a healthfui baby. Sometimes 1t has merely been getting too much car bohydrate.
 IF The sun bath may be over- done. Five minutes a day at the end of the first month with a gradual increase to one-half to an. hour a day after four months which is probably sufficient under modern conditions of diet and care.

 Food With Care

There are certain rules and foods that mothers should insist on if their children are to develop equani- mity of temperature and strength of body and mind.
 Food containing A. B ana c vita mins are necessary for all children and on this account tomatoes, or- anges, pineapple and other fruits and vegetables. and milk, should be given them often. During the adol- escent period there is especial need

threesome method, we were able to take

scheme worked out well, and it may be

One of the heartening features OF
the tourney Of last week was the re-
turn TO form Of Harry G. Pitt of
Manor. Pitt Is first-clasS perormer
in every way and a man who should
have national status instead Of merely
local ranking. But for some reason his
game has been badly off this Spring.
Only once has he had return to
form, that game coming at the Manor
Club, where he romped around his
home course in SO.
He struck his true game in the semi
final Of the Indian Spring tourney,
playing IL holes against M Parker
Nolan in two better than even fours.
and then playing is holes in the final
against Leroy Sasscer in one over even
fours. In other words. Pitt played 26
holes over that testing Indian Spring
layout in one below fours, which is
considerable golf IN any language.

Though the pull up to the chal-
lenger's position was hard and often
discouraging, SZabo now is convinced
that this delay in achieving his am

end of a strenuous campaign and in
none too fit condition to defend his
laurels successfully.
Whether Szabo Is right in his sur
mise or merely is jollying himself
along remains to be seen, but there
is no denying the fact that few
wrestling champions have been as
busy as Londos. In the past seven
months he has defended his title on
the average of twice week, and
while many of these bouts were
against mediocre opposition, he was
extended often enough to feel the

Women's Championship Event
Holds Center of Golf Stage

A FTER four straight weeks of big
~ time tournament golf, beginning
back in April, comes a lull in
the major tournament season
about Washington this week for the
golfers Of the male persuasion. But
where the men leave of the women
begin, for even though there Is no local
golf tournament listed for this week, the
fair golfers of clubs afiliated with the
District Womens Golf Association are
to be busy this week at Chevy Chase
in the annual tournament for the wu.>.-
ems championship of the District Z
Columbia-the high spot In women'S
golf about the National Capital for the
year.
To be sure the men are not without
golf attractions, for some OF the better
golfers among the men will go to Bal
timore the latter part of the week to
play over the famed Five Farms course
in the annual Spring invitation tourney
of the Baltimore Country Club, while
few more will travel down to Richmond
TO play in the invitation tourney of the
Hermitage Country Club. But, on the
whole. rot many Of the men players will
be playing in a tournament this week.
Many of them are resting for a week
in advance of the championship tourney
OF the Middle Atlantic Golf Associa-
ticn, scheduled for June 4, and over
the course of the Princess Anne Coun-
try Club at Virginia Beach, Va, while
for some the next big affair is the
Spring tourney of the Columbia Coun-
Try Club, to start on June and run
through June IL.
Big Tourney Well Managed.
Indian Springs big tourney last week
saw two changes in golf competition
about Washington. In the first place,
the field was a record d-breaker When
all the returns were in and the final
list OF entries counted, there were 447
actual entries in the tourney. This rec
ord entry list exceeds by more than
half hundred the previous record
credited to the Columbia Country Club
three or four years back So large was
the field that it was physically impos-
slble for the entry list to quality
in twosomes in the two days allot-
ted TO. the medal play. So the Golf
Committee scratched its collective head
and wisely decided that qualification In
threesomes was the only feasible and
practical way TO get all the players
through.
How well the scheme worked is at
tested by the smoothness and ease with
which the qualification rounds were
run through. Without hitch OF any
kind, without any radical changes in
the pairings and without slowing up
the course TO any appreciable degree
the qualificaticn round at Indian
Spring was played in threesomes, and
every one seemed pleased with the
idea. 1t may be adopted by some of
the other clubs which have large entry
lists, and 1t would not be at all sur
prising to see Columbia adopt the

n YEW YORK, May 25.-With
M the North American zone
4 title safely tucked away,
the United States youthful
Davis Cup tennis team turned its
attention today to the battle with
Argentina, South American zone
champions, at Washington, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday.
Although definite nominations will
not be made for several days, it is ex-
pected that Frank Shields and Sidney
B. Wood, jr., both of New York, will
carry the entire burden in the inter
zone clash with Argentina. These
youngsters played singles and doubles
in the 4-to-1 victory over Canada in
the North American zone final COM
pleted at Montreal yesterday. The
Davis Cup Selection Committee previ-
ously had indicated that the same
players would represent the United
States against Argentina.
Shields Is Ace.
Shields was the outstanding player at
Montreal. Not only did he win both
his singles matches, defeating Dr. Jack
Wright, 8-6, CO. 60, and Marcel
Rainville, 6-1, 6-4, 6-1, but he play
ed a dominating part in the doubles
match which the two New York young
sters won in straight sets, 8E6, Ga,
60.
Wood. after dropping his first singles
"a, and failing to play up to form
in the doubles, came back in smashing
fashion yesterday to clinch the series
with an S-6, 6-3, Ga triumph over
Wright.
Cliff Sutter of New Orleans and
Gregory Mangin of Newark, N. j., the
other members of the squad, took no
part in the series, but did conquer Gil
bert S. Nunns and Walter Martin in
an exhibition doubles match.
Argentina Strong.
Argentina has brought a formidable
team northward and should give the
United States battle all the way. Ro-
naldo Boyd and Guillermo Robson prob
ably will play singles for the South
Americans. This pair or the regular
combination of Lucilo Castillo and
Adriano zappa will play doubles.
The winner of the Argentina United
States series will qualify to meet the
European zone champion and, in the
event Of victory, will encounter France
in the challenge round.
