STOLEN AUTO RINGS FEEL
 ARM OF LAW
A:A.A. Report Shows Big Slump in Thefts
 During 1882

Washingtop-(UP)-Stolen car rings are rapidly being eliminated, according to an announcement of the American Automobile associa- tion, but the problems of robbing of car parts and stealing of cars for .ioy rides both are becoming in- creasingly important, particularly in large cities.
 The association's statement is based on studies conducted by its agents. These studies showed that approximately 250,000 automobiles were stolen in the United States in 1882, and that about 225,000, or 90 per cent, were recovered.
 Stronger laws, more vigilance and cooperation on, the part of po- lice, heavier penalties and increased difficulty in selling cars" said Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, presi- dent of the A. A. A., "have in the main been responsible for the prog ress made in stamping out this rac- ket.
 "The success of these efforts to l stamp out organized rings of car 1 thieves" he went on, ''is evident from the fact that the percentage of stolen cars recovered jumped from 71 per cent in 1920 to around 90 per cent in 1882. Additional evi. dence Is found in reports from 70 cities which showed 8 decline o1 f15.7 per cent in the number of car thefts last year as compared with 1887"
 The wave of theft of car parts and "joy riding" in stolen cars is blamed on youthful offenders by the reports. The majority of those arr rested for these cromes, the A. A.. A. points out, are youths of 17 or I1Q

INDIAN DRUGS
 AIDED MEDICINE

Chicago. (UP)-Modern medi- cine owes many remarkable cures to recent inventions and discov- cries, but still turns for many cures to drugs and herbs discov- cred by Indians long before Co., lumbus was born.
 Not only were the drugs discov- cred by Indians, bpt they were used to cure the same diseases that physicians prescribe them for to-day.
 These facts are brought out in a striking manner in the display of American Indian medicine" in the Hall of Science, Worlds Fair.
 Show cases are filled with such drugs as capsicum peruvian bark, cascara, coca, mandrake, snake root, and black cherries. All were used by Indian medicine men.
 Capsiucm is used to-day for the treatment of neuralgia, pneumonia and diphtheria. Peruvian bark, called quinine after it is refined, is used in the cure of tropical fever Cascara, whose curative properties were known by he In- dians of he Pacific coast, is used to-day as a purgative. Coca, used as stimulant by the aborigines, is used to-day in the form of CO., caine and novacaine. Snake root is used in sa1ves as cure for certain types of irritation.

Infantile Mortality
 Lowest E or 1882
Last Years Figure the Lowest on Record, Cutting
 Rate in Half For Twenty Years

the report. Dr crumbine points out that the 1882 rate serves as one index at least fo "a success full adjustment to the trying times of the last few years."
 The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of babies under one year of age per 1000 live births. Reports on inafnt nor tality issued annually by the As- sociation were begun in 1911 by the New York Milk committee. From that year to the present the annual rates have shown an al- most uninterrupted decline.
 Among the ten largest cities in the country, Chicago had the, low est rate, 49. New York stood second with 51. The rates for the other cities in order were: Phila. delphia 52; Detroit 52, Cleveland 58, Los Angeles 56, St Louis 57 Boston 59, Baltimore 63, and Pitts- burgh 67. All of these cities show lower rates for 1882 than during 1881.
 Considering all the cities of over 250, ,000 population, Portland. Ore, had tho lowest rate, the figure be- ing 34. St Paul, Minn, was sec- ond with 39, and San Francisco and Oakland, Cal, tied for third with rate of 40.
 In the next lower population group, 100000 to 250,000. Long Beach, Cal, was low with a rate of 36. Grand Rapids, Mich, was sec- ond with 37 and Spokane, Wash,
 Cleveland Heights, Ohio, led the cities of 5O,000 to 100000 with g rate of zero. Cicero, Illinois and Berkeley, California, each had a rate Of 25.
 . Grouping the cities by states, Oregon led with rate of 36. The cities of Idaho were second with 39, Utah and Washington third with AZ and Nebraska fifth with 45, Connecticut was the only east ern state among the first ten. The report states that the urban rates in 1882 were lower than in 1881 in .34 states, remained the same in 4 states, and increased in 6.
 Owing to the long-standing cus- tom of recording births and deaths in the place of occurrence rather than in the actual place of resi- dence, cities with hospitals in some instances show rates ollrerlng suD- stantially from those without hos- pitfalls. The report states that truer rate can be found by charg- ing back the births and deaths to place of residence. Already four states, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island-art fol- lowing this practice, and separate tables of corrected rates are giv- CT, if, the report for these staets.
 These anual reports are issued by the American Child Health As sociation in order to acquaint the public generally with the trend on baby deaths over the country. Knowledge of these comparative data has been found most help full to cities in planning programs for the prevention of unnecessary deaths in the first year of life.

New York, Aug 5.-The death rate among babies in the cities of the United States for the year 1882 reached the lowest point on record, according to the report just issued by the. American Child Health as- sociation. The figure was 66.S or four points below the rate for 1881. The rate to-day is half what it was 20 years ago. This report is based on provisional records from the United Staets Census bureau sup- plemented by returns from state and local officials. It covers 943 cities of the Birth Registration Area, which consists of 46 states and the District of Columbia.
 Medical, public health, social and relief groups, as well as the public at large, may feel gratified at this result, and derive from Ii new encouragement to continued unrelenting effort in the baby sav- ing campaign" staets Dr s. J. Crumbine, general executive of the association in the preface to

the motor numbers. Lieutenant William Pollard and Detective Connie Shannahan investigated Q report received by Captain Richard Leroy that two men had abandoned the car, after removing the wheels and stacking them in the body of the machine which they sprinkled with gasoline and ignited. The rear end of the car was badly burned before the flames were smothered. The local police have no record of any car of that make being stolen lately.
 A car reported stolen by its owner Fibre Napolitano of BPS Wall street was found wrecked on the Bethany road this morning. John Deegan, 85, of Johnson street, the alleged driver, was ar- rested and held for the Naugatuck police on the charge of operating without license. His companion, Matthew Freeman, 40, of 239 North Main street was also placed under arrest and brought back to Waterbury by Lieutenant Matthew Balanda and Detective John Leary.
 Both men will be arraigned later on the charge of stealing an automobile.
