Infant Death Rate
 Down To5 Per Cent
Health Bulletin States There Is Still Much to Be Ac=
 complished in Protecting Children

to five per cent. Last year, the infant mortality rate was 49.5 deaths per 1000 living births az compared with 58.8 deaths in 1928. Twenty-Five per cent of the infant deaths occur in the first day of life, thirty per cent are due to premature birth, the latter being caused chiefly by improper pre- natal care of mothers.
 The health of children and their mothers is so closely interWoven that attention should also be fo- cused upon the latter in celebrat- ing Child Health Day, especially this year when conditions make ], difficult to maintain normal standards of living. The states immediate concern on May l should be proper care and nourish- ment of mothers and babies, if the health of the next generation is to be preserved. Since mothers and babies are least able to with stand privation and neglect, re- sources should be pooled and unit ed in their behalf. With this ob- ject in view, the slogan, Mothers and Babies First has been adopted for Child Health Day oi 1883.

 Being Used for Unemployment Fund Many Old k Pieces of JeweIry Can Be Put to This Good F Purpose

elry, silverware etc, no matter how small, MT Allen feels that a great many hundreds of dollars could be realized for the Mutual Aid Fund. Words cannot ad- equately describe how much these hundreds of dollars are needed now with the fund at it's present low level. MT Allen points out. "Waterbury's Mutual Aid Fund has done one of the best jobs of any fund of its type in the entire coun- try" says MT Allen. Nobody has gone hungry and the generosity of the people of the city of Water bury is known throughout the state and country. Our record is so fair and fine that we cannot falter now with the end of the de- prcsslon in sight"
 As proof of the fact that dis carded jewelry can produce real money, MT Allen points to the fact that local clergyman asked his parishoners to turn it over to him to be used for charitable and par ish needs. In the course of q few days in his parish alone he re- ceivcd in discarded watches, pins, etc, gold and silver, which will net him over $500 and 1t is expected he will receive much more.
 "If this can be accomplished in one parish imagine what can be done in the city at large" says Mir Allen. "It is q big field and one which does not draw on actual cash nor affect anybody outside of those whom it will tremendously benefit"
 Persons wishing to cooperate can bring their jewelry to the Lin coin House or it will be called for if word is left at that institution or at Mutual Aid Headquarters al % Field street

What has become of that big gold watch you carried back in the good old days when the fellow who carried the heaviest watch with the loudest tick was considered to have the best? And that prize chain, which supported it in one pocket, even after the other pock- ct had given away under the weight of the "turnip."
 According to Charles J. Allen. director of Waterbury's Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund drive. now under way, some of the watches were big enough to serve as a weight for the old grey mare. when she was parked over at Bau- by's corner while the owner was getting "bass-aled" or "stOuted- mp" (rather than three e-towed. D The chains he claims could easily perform derrick service.
 It is Mir Aliens contention that if some of these relics of antiquity, which were discarded when fel- low was no longer considered a sissy when he appeared in q wrist watch were turned over to the Mutual Aid Fund many hun gry family could be fed on the gold that can be derived from their melting.
 Mir Allen in seeking to help his fund drive along does not coniine himself to these "he-man' ele- phantinc watches and chains.

DR.. ATHEARN
is LAUDED BY
DEAN BAILEY
Butler Official Expresses
Regret at Dismissal
of President.

Regret for the sudden dismissal
of DR.. Walter Scott Athearn from
the presidency Of Butler university
was expressed today by Albert E.
Bailey, dean Of the evening and
extension divisions of the uniyer-
sity
Il consistently have kept quiet on
the subject Of DR.. Athearn's dis
missal," said Dean Bailey today,
because. having been brought here
by DR.. Athearn-a friend of many
years standing whatever 1 might
say would be discounted in ad-
vance.
However. since I have been asked
about his previous career, 1 am
happy TO speak. 1 worked ten years
with Dr. Athearn in the School Of
Religious Education and Social
Service in Boston.
Helped Raise Funds
Il saw him build it up from notn-
ing to more than 600 students. /
saw him raise his own money, in
duce people to write the school into
their wills and even to give build
ings TO house the institution. 1 saw
him develop a strong faculty whose
reputation for scholarship attracted
students from clear across the coun-
try, past a half dozen strong edu-
cational institutions, to Boston.
Il saw him establish a new pro-
fession which has left an impress
upon the religious life of the coun-
try. 1 saw him unity his faculty of
splendid men and women into
loyalty 100 per cent strong. No or
binary educator or administrator
could have done that job.
Known Even in China
All over the world there are peo-
pie who revere Dr. Athearn for his
sound philosophy and for the spiritual
and inspiring quality of his teach
ing. My daughter in Buenos Aires
wrote last week of meeting pro-
fessional man there who once
studied in Boston under DR.. Athearn
and who regards him as a great
statesman educator"
While was in China, two years
ago." Dean Bailey continued, Il met
three teachers in Chinese schools
old students of DR.. Athearn-who
acknowledged him as their inSpira-
ton ana leader. All over this coun-
try, there literally are hundreds who
regard him in the same way.
Regrets Trustees Action
What DR.. Athearn did during
his thirteen years at Boston, he was
beginning to do for Butler. The
list Of his accomplishments, as pub
liShed recently in the papers, makes
inspiring reading and those of us
who know his vision of Butler as
municipal university of sound
learning and broad scope, dedicated
to the needs of all the people of
this metropolis, can not help regret
ting the circumstances that sud-
denly have deprived the city of
his services"
1T seems a pity that the trustees
could not have found some way to
reconcile their differences with him
and utilize his extraordinary equip
ment in enlarging the university"
