figures Shock

THOSE persons who take it for
a granted that the United States
leads the world in health matters
will be shocked at the figures which
DR.. Haggard quotes.
Childbirth mortality figures for
the nations of the world range from
2.6 per 1000 to Sc per 1000. The
lowest figure on the list is shared nv
Denmark and Italy. The United
States stands at the bottom of the
list.
These figures for our country.
translated into actual deaths" Dr.
Haggard says, mean that each wear
in the United States 5000 mothers
die, leaving behind them their new
born babies.
"As compared with Denmark and
Italy, 10000 of these mothers die
unnecessarily. The means exist to
prevent these deaths, but the fact
that the deaths continue year in
and year out signifies that the
means are not made available to
the mothers who need them"
A word should be said at this
point to prevent any unnecessary
apprehension. The maternity hos
pitfalls in the United States are as
line as any in the United States.
Americas medical men are quite as
competent as those of any other ma
ton to meet the situation.
The point is that adequate atten-
ton, such as our medical men can
supply, is not available to a larca
enough group Of women.
In our country we have physi-
clans specializing in obstetrics who
are as skilled as any to be found
elsewhere in the world" DR.. Hag-
gard says.

Polish Leader Hailed
az Savior of Europe

Lord d'Abernon's tribute to Pill
sudski as the real savior of Europe
in 1920 has aroused much comment
The praise of the Polish leader ap-
peared in the Gazeta Polska on the
tenth anniversary Of the Polish vic
tory against the Bolsheviks Lord
d'Abernon declared that contempt
rary history includes few events as
important as the battle of the Wis
tula in 1920 and not one which has
been less appreciated. If the Boil
sheviks had won the day the battle
would have marked q turning point
in European history, for Central
Europe would have been thrown
open to admit flood of Bolshevik
propaganda. The Bolsheviks had
much vaster plans than the occu-
patton of Poland Many German
towns were ready to proclaim Boil
shevik regime as soon as Warsaw
fell. Pilsudski's strategic genius,
adds the author, saved Poland. and
in saving Poland saved Europe.

Lake Superior Relic of
Ice and Glacial Ages

Lake Superior is now the shrunken
reminder of large Lake Algonquin
that was left in the same area by the
melting ice of the great Ice ages, it
has been proved by excavations for
a dam Of the Algoma District Power
company, on the Michipicoten river
that empties into northeastern Lake
Superior.
DR.. e. e. Moore, geologist of the
University of Toronto, told the Royal
Society of Canada that his eXamina-
ton of this engineering work con-
firms the idea that there was much
larger prehistoric lake filling the
Superior basin. AS he followed the
ups and downs of the geological his
tory of this most northern of the
Great Lakes, Doctor Moore found
also that during the glacial era there
was a smaller lake where Lake Su-
perior now lies.

POETS HAVE SUNG
GLORY OF SUND1AL

"What a dead thing is clock, "
says Charles Lamb, with its pom
derous embowelments of lead and
brass, Its pert or solemn dullness
Of communication, compared with
the simple altar-like structure and
silent heart-language Of the old
dali" He thought that, II the bust
ness uses of the dial had to be SUI
perseded by more elaborate inven-
tons, its moral uses and its beauty
might have pleaded for its contin-
uance. To him the dial spoke Of
moderate labors, of pleasures not
protracted after sunset, of temper
ance and good hours; 1t was the
primitive clock, the horologue OF the
first world. Adam could scarce
have missed it in Paradise"
The sundial as thing of beauty
and a joy forever has more than
fulfilled his desire for continuance
in the century that has passed since
the death Of Ella. Nearly all formal
gardens, and many lesser ones, add
the sundial as measure for sweet
plants and flowers to spring by, for
birds to apportion their silver war
blings BY" but not "for flocks to
pasture and be led to fold by"
Many books have been written
about the notices attached to the
sundials; about the different forms
they take and where they may be
placed and by what surroundings.
Every one knows of the classical
thought found by Hazlitt on sun
dial near Venice: II count only the
hours that are serene" Queen Alex
andra may have read his dissertation
on it. or she may have had twin
thought expressing itself at the
same time, for on her dial at Sand
bingham there is motto chosen by
the queen herself: LET others tell
of storms and showers, I only count
the sunny hours" But, as Hazlitt
says, If hours were all serene we
would take as little notice Of them
as the dial does of those that are
clouded. It is the shadow thrown
across that gives us warning of
their flight. The cave mans great
rock upon which was cast the shad-
ow of a long pole driven into the

Issue if Cramton Act
Fund Fails.
By stan Correspondent of Tn. Star.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. April 4.-Although
no dificulty Is anticipated in securing
the appropriations authorized under
the terms OF the Cramton act, the bill
authorizing Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties to take advantage of
the provisions of that measure has been
amended so that Montgomery can issue
its bonds If the Federal funds are not
forthcoming.
The amendment, offered in the Sen
ate, was concurred in by the House and
officially recorded or "chaptered" today.
The amendment does not change
Prince Georges County's status under
the BILL which provides that county's
commissioners must approve an $780,
900 bond issue, to be sold only If the
Federal Government advances that sum
without interest for period of
eight years and makes the county an
additional outright gift of $400 600.
Montgomery County, however, under
the amendment could issue 81 200, 900
in bonds for the purchase of park lands,

raphy is combined with colors and
it is a screen show that has enough
genuine humor to impress the fact
that it is distilled action. Under
the circumstances it seems quite
unnecessary to drag in a few cracks

The stage production at the Earle,

of the kind which in recent weeks
has served to make it appear that
the film no longer is monarch of the
program. but must share the high
place with reviving vaudeville.

BY the Associated Press.
MACON, Ga, April 4.-The will of
Emory Winship, filed here today, pro-
vided a. $3.50 monthly income for the
wife whose actions coroner's jury de-
cided led the former naval officer to sui
eide in San Francisco March FL. The
provision terminates If she remarrieS.

Winships 1-year-old son, Emory VIM

ried in 1923. He retained legal residence
in Macon, but spent most OF his time in
San Francisco. Mrs. Dorothy Winship

funeral today.
The will was witnessed, as required
by Georgia law, by three persons, j. w.

gia law requires executors to be resi-
dents or have an interest in the State.
