Appalling Death Rate
Among Indian Infants

Seven years ago when. in her book
Mother India" katherine Mayo told
of appalling conditions of child and
maternity mortality in that country
she was subjected in some quarters
to harsh criticism. About a month
ago DR.. ]. V. Karve, health director
in Mysore, presiding over baby week
celebrations, declared the mortality
among children in year was rough
ly seven times as high as adult NOR
tally and three times that of infant
mortality in England.
One child out of every five born
In India died and in some places the
mortality rates were 300 to 500 per
1000 births. Nearly 5000 babies died
daily in India, he said. AS for moth
ers, nearly IS out of every 1000 died
of childbirth, which was not surpris-
ing when one took into account the
brutal treatment a woman received
during and after confinement.
In the United States, according to
statistics of 1932-the latest figures
published-the total deaths Of infants
less thar one year old was 113,661
and the rate of mortality was given
as $40 per 1000 live births. Mother
mortality-exclusive of South Dakota
and Texas-was SO per 10000 live
births.
The advantages of medical skill
and care show obviously in contrast
ing India's infant mortality rate with
that of the United States.

Columbus Pictured as
Big and Freckled Faced

Christopher Columbus was a
"brave, big man with a long, red,
freckled face"
Such was the description Of the
discoverer of America in one Of the
first printed accounts of his discov-
eries-'The New World" by Michael
Herr, published at Strassburg In
1534-which has just come to light
in the collection of old scientific
books in the Smithsonian institu-
TONS library. Hers accounts are
quite naive. Thus he relates the Co
lumbus story:
"He had good hopes that he could
discover before shutdown several
islands which would be of great
pleasure and use to the people. With
regard to those islands that lay in
front of India, he himself expected
to find costly pearls and all sorts of
precious stones; also spices and
much gold. The king and queen
made fun of him as man who was
engaged in foolish task and let the
thing go as good joke. At last
after eight years had gone by and
Christopher continued to beseech the
king, the king began to take the
proposition little more to heart
and undertook to find out what was
back of that man and why he stuck
to his proposition. Then the king
commanded that a galley be out
fitted, and he also supplied two swift
ships with provisions and whatever
else was necessary. When these ships
were ready Columbus sailed from
the Spanish coast on the first day
of the autumn month, In the year
after the birth of Christ 1892, and
thus went on his long-desired jour-
ney."
After leaving the Canaries, which
were infested with cannibals, Herr
relates, Columbus "sailed for thirty
three days and nights steadily to-
ward the setting sun and saw no
land. At last he saw while on watch
an island, and as he came closer he
saw six islands, two large ones. One
of these he called Hispana and the
other he called Johanna. They have
never been able to determine def
nitely whether the island Johanna
was an island or not. Still as they
sailed along the coast they heard
many birds sing, especially nightin-
gales, which lived in the thick for
ests in the winter. They also saw
much fresh water there which was
pleasant to drink, and many large
and beautiful ports as they sailed
with the northwest wind. After they
had sailed 800 miles and still found
no end they thought it to be part
Of a continent. Therefore they con-
sidered to retrace their journey. To
this the storms contributed, for the
masts began to loosen. Therefore,
Columbus commanded the ship to be
turned in the direction of the rising
sun. Thus they came soon to the
island which they named Hispana
and there they explored the land
diligently.
'Then toward midnight as they
neared cape the large ship struck
rock so that it went apart. The

Scientists Forecast Marvels of
Progress.

When scientists look ahead hun
dred years 1t is fairly safe to assert
that their assumptions are well
grounded. They know the direction
which achievements in science and
industry are taking and the time rate
of their progress. So they are able
to forecast Developments and venture
reasonable predictions.
One well-known scientist has done
this-Prof. L. A. Rose of the Michi-
gan College Of Mining and Tech
nology. In recent issue Of Com
merce, the monthly magazine of the
Chicago Association Of Commerce, he
set out some notes on inventions to

Predicts Race Of SUI ermen
Columbia University Professor Explains How Organic
Chemistry May Hurry Process of Evolution
to Bring Highest Development.

The coming of the superman and
the super race may not have to wal
for the uncertain processes of evo
luton taking hundreds of thousands
of years, but may be brought about
within a few generations through or
ganic chemistry.
A prophecy to this effect, that
there would be synthetic super.
man" in the not distant future, was
made before the American Chemical
society by Prof. Marston T. Bogert
of Columbia university.
Organic chemistry, Professor b.
CERT said, was gradually learning the
relationship betwecN certain chem
icals and their influence on mans
behavior and personality. It was
also learning more and more about
the chemical constitution of living
matter and to synthesize products in
which 1t improves vastly upon ma
ture.
The time must come, therefore,
Professor Bogert said, when the
chemist would be able to make SUBJ
stances that would greatly increase
the thinking powers of the brain, as
well as the strength. health and
beauty Of the body, without having
to wait for the hit or miss methods
Of evolution, which from the human
life, with great good will toward the
rest Of his fellows, synthetic SUPER
men" like himself.
point of view, might lead in the
wrong direction.
When that time came, he said, syn
thetic chemicals would not be used
merely for the healing of ills and
the correction of natures errors but
for the positive direction of the
forces of life by the intelligence of
man.
With the intelligence nature en-
dowed him with he would devise
ways to develop greater intelligence.
by finding artificial means for utiliz-
ing potentialities in his brain power
now lying dormant because nature
had not provided the means for max
ing it work at full capacity.
While many areas of the brain had
been charted and their purpose made
known, there were still vast areas
fully half of the human brain, still
as unexplored, dark and mysterious
as the vast wilderness in the Afri-
can or South American jungles, said
Professor Bogert.
We were now able, he added, to
synthesize drugs that had a pro-
found effect not only on the func-
tioning of the body, for good or for
evil, but also on the human personal
ity as well. Gradually we were learn
ing the chemical relationships be-
tween these substances and bodily
activity and were making Roadway
in learning why they produced their
results. There was every reason to
hope, Professor Bogert said, that
chemists would eventually be able to
produce substances that would bring
out the latent powers of the known
and of the now unknown areas in
the brain.
Instead of drugs producing stupor,
or bringing to the surface qualities
OF cruelty and violence, we would
have drugs that would enhance alert
ness and intelligence, stimulate spir-
itual qualities, enable the body to
utilize all it's latent powers without
any after effects and make it pos
sible for man to attain a greater and
