MANY MOTHERS
SUCCUMB TO
COMPLICATIONS

During the last five years-from
1888, Enthusiastically $4,000 births
We're reported in Maryland, 1928
white and 81 500 colored. In connect
ion with these births nearly 800
mothers-567 white and 222 colored-
died from some complication of child
bearing and nearly 1000 of the babies
born during this period-7,082 white
and 3,715 colored-found life too
strenuous and died before they were
year old. Others died in their sec
ond, third or fourth year, but by far
the largest number of deaths occurred
during the first year.
Reports of births, of deaths and of
causes of death are carefully recorded
and analysed by the State Department
of Health. The records give some
startling information in regard to the
babies who died before they were a
year old. Of the 1O,797 who died in
the first year of life, 4,O65-more than
one out of every three-did not live
more than seven days, and 1852 of the
remainder, lived less than a month.
That is, 5,327-or nearly half of the
babies who died the first year of life
lived less than a month.
Commenting of these findings, DR..
J. H. NJ. Knox, Chief of the Bureau
of Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health, said eve can't pre-
vent the deaths among very young
babies by using the methods that are
effective in saving the lives of the
older babies, such as care in feeding,
protection from infections, and gen.
eral hygiene. We have to go back
much farther, and begin by caring
for the mother during the long await
ed period before the baby is ushered
into the world. And we have to in
clude skilled care at the time of the
baby's arrival and regular advice and
medical supervision during the fol-
lowing weeks and months.
Care of this sort safeguards two
lives-the life of both mother and
baby. The records show that the
deaths of many of the mothers who
died when their babies were born,
need not have happened. At least
half of them were due to causes that
may be controlled OF prevented. Free
clinics at which care of this sort is
given-we call them prenatal clinics
and hospital service during confine-
ment, are available for women who |
can't afford to have their own doctors, |
in all of the larger cities throughout |
the United States.
Prenatal care and hospital service
at confinement are more difficult to
obtain in country districts. But, in
this connection, l am glad to state
that prenatal clinics have been estab-
lished in nine of our Maryland coun-
ties.
Thoughtful people are geninning to
realize that every community has re-
sponsibility for service of this sort,
and hope that the time is not far
distant when every county in Mary
land will make adequate provision,
through prenatal clinics and home OF
hospital service, for all mothers who
need such service and who are unable
to pay for it."

Early in the lOngshore strike,
Officer Hansen, living in the
North end of Seattle, got sick
He consulted several doctors
about a swelling breaking out
on his side. The doctors seemed
to think it was a blood poison
of some kind, but couldn't seem
to do anything to relieve the
poor cop who had to stay off
duty.

Anti-FaSciSt Flag On
Municipal Pole

merce on going to the Civic build
ing Tuesday morning discovered
a large white flag floating from
the top of the flag pole in the
parking strip on Riverside, just
west of Monroe street.
By-standers tried to haul down
the strange emblem, but the rope
had been lOOped near the top,
and their efforts were fruitless.
Phones began to buzz in vari-
GUS governmental quarters. Fin
ally a fire truck breezed along. A
ladder was run up, and a fireman
brought down the flag.
On the white background, five
by ten feet in size, were the words
in red letters, Free Thaelmann."
Attempting to belittle the eX-
preston of solidarity of the Spo-
kane workers with the leader of
the Communist Party of Ger
many, the article continues:
The fire boys hustled down to
the police station with the flag.
None of the officers on duty re-
called having arrested Thael-
mann. A search through the re-
cords failed to reveal the name.
So how could they free Thael-
mann?
AT the Chamber of Commerce
someone recalled that Thaelmann
was one of the alleged cOmmun-
lists jailed for setting fire to the
reichstag."
Maybe the Chamber of Com
merce doesn't know the history
of Thaelmann, but workers
throughout the world know him

COnsulates and Nazi government
with demands for his release.
