SAFEGUARD THEM AGAINS
SUMMER COMPLAINT

Flies and fingers were found guilty
as carriers" of summer com
plant" by Dr. j. II. M. Knox, Jr.,
Chief of the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene, and Dr. G. II. Halliday, Epi-
demiologist, of the State Depart
ment of Health, in study they made
recently of the records of the disease
as it has occurred among babies and
other young children, in the counties
of Maryland in the last two years
Summer comp .aint is the diarrheal
disease that is usually associated
with the hot, muggy days of mid
summer, though it, or similar in
testinal ailments, may occur at any
time of the year. The disease is
much less prevalent than /. was
formerly but the decrease has been
greatest in cities and towns where
periodical medical supervision is
readily available, where the water
supply is protected against con5ami-
nation and where the milk supply is
pasteurized and carefully handled
1t is still matter of concern in sec
tons in which such protective meas
ures are not generally at hand.
Diarrheal disease was listed as the
cause of one death out of every seven
that occurred among babies under a
year old, in the counties of Mary
land, last year
Like typhoid fever, diarrhea and
dysentery are catching" diseases.
They are caused by disease-producing
germs that can get into milk that is
carelessly handled or that pass into
the water supply or into the soil if
the discharges from persons who are
sick with an illness of this sort, are
not properly disinfected before they
are disposed of. Flies that carry
the disease producing germs from
filth to food or that spread them in
other ways are also very dangerous
sources of the diarrheal diseases.
Because of these facts, the State
Department of Health gives the fol
lowing advice to mothers of young
children: Protect the baby against
flies. Keep flies out of the house !;
away from the baby; from his food
and from everything that comes in
contact with the baby. Flies breed
in filth. They pick up disease-pro-
ducing germs on their feet and leave
them ON everything they touch-the
babys bottle, his food, his bedding
and his belongings. They are more
than a pest. They are dangerous,
disease-carrying enemies.
Wash your hands thoroughly with
hot water and plenty of soap before
handling the baby's food. Mothers
milk is the safest food for the young
baby Next to that comes clean,
cows milk diluted with water ac-
cording to your doctors directions.
All cows milk used for the baby
should be boiled for two or three
minutes before preparing the feed
ings. After boiling the milk should
be cooled as rapidly as possible,
placed in individual bottles and kept
on ice or in a cool place. Each feed
ing should be warmed as needed.
Don't let the bottles lie around after
feeding. Throw out any milk left
in the bottle. Clean the bottle and
nipple thoroughly; sterilize by boil
ing and put aside until used again.
Do the same with the saucepan used
in heating the milk.
Most important of all: To keep
your baby well, take the well baby to
the doctor regularly. At the first
sign of any digestive disturbance,
call your doctor, and do as he says.

I'VE are ready and willing to work
with the Public Utilities Commission

ton Bill.

BY the Associated PreSS.
Col. D. w. Mccormack. immigra-
tion commissioner, today faced
charges by Representative Dies, Dem
ocrat, of Texas, that he inspired
propaganda designed TO raise religious
and racial prejudice" against the Dies
alien deportation bill.
I'm what appears to me to be a
direct violation of law, Col McCor-
mack is having immigration inspec-
tors go to local newspapers to get his
false propaganda distributed" Dies
asserted.
He cited a statute designed to pre-
vent use of Government funds to in
f1uence members of Congress on leg
islation and asserted Mccormack "in-
structed immigration inspectors to
get published a statement he issued
on June 20, carrying misleading in
formation"
The Texan, who claims there are
between 100000 and 100000 aliens
In this country, wants legislation to
deport those of illegal entry and those
refusing naturalization. He directed
his attack at McCormack's statement
that there Is in this country today
an anti-alien prejudice that affects
directly or indirectly a third of our
population, for one person out Of every
three in this country is of foreign
birth or foreign parentage."

Mothers Welcome to Nurse
Babies in House Galleries

Mothers of this Nation, with babies
in arms, are welcome to nurse them
in the House galleries.
The House doorkeeper, Joseph j.
Sinnott, who was recently accused in
some newspapers Of having escorted
hitch hiking, destitute mother of four
children from the gallery for that
"offense against the dignity OF the
Congress, says they are welcome, and
that his action was misunderstood.
Never in all its history has Con-
gress refused to let mother nurse
her baby at her bosom in the galleries
of Congress-" declared Representative
Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, In her
aiding the invitation to mothers by a
formal resolution presented under spe-
cial privilege in the House yesterday.
OF course, Speaker Byrns ruled that
this resolution did not have special
privilege, when the point was raised
by Representative Michener, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, but Blanton got
his point across-which was to ex-
culpate Doorkeeper Sinnott. The reso-
luton was good naturedly laughed
down on objection by Representative
Taber, Republican. of New York, and
Blanton said he would not press 1t.
Blanton put into the record letter
by Sinnott which concluded: Mothers
have nursed babies In the galleries be-
fore this snctdent Sot auns R7l and
Evening star., 1935-07-10

they have never been interfered with.
They are welcome at all times"
Sinnott explained his action as fol-
lows:
"As the mother was looking dis
tressed because the baby continued to
be restless and noisy and was attract
ing the attention Of many persons, I
made a kindly suggestion to the hus-
band that If his wife wished to nurse
the baby again there was ladies' rest
room nearby where she could go and
be comfortable. 7 thought only OF
being of service to the distressed
mother. The husband said, We will
go OUT and I patted him on the
shoulder several times and assured
him that they could stay in the gal
lery as long as they wished to do so.
I did not request the woman to leave.
I did not even speak to her. as she
was sitting three seats away from her
husband. 1 did try to be of some as
sistance to her"
Emphasizing that "a mother nurs-
ing her baby at her breast typif1es the
highest, the finest, the noblest in
stincts there are in nature" Repre-
sentative Blanton said:
Every mother in the United States
has an inherent right to visit the gal
lery of the House Of Representatives
at will, and to nurse her baby there

POLICEMEN SCORED
IN ARRESTING KIDS
Judge Doyle Tells Welfare Board
More Personal Interest
Should Be Shown.

Policemen would do better to take
a little more personal interest in
the kids" on their beats instead of
dragging them into Juvenile Court for
trivial offenses, Judge M. M. Doyle,
vice chairman of the Board of Public
Welfare, told the board at its quar-
terly meeting at the District Work
House yesterday.
He deplored the passing of the
old-time patrolman who knew all
the children in the neighborhood
and took them to their parents when
they needed disciplining.
Lets stop hauling kids into Ju-
venile Court for trivial offenses," he
suggested. Most of the boys and
girls facing the court should never
be brought within its doors.
1.-THE trouble today is that all of
us have abandoned the duties of the
home and left too much responsibility
to the school teacher and social
worker"
Weight was given Judge Doyle's
remarks by the fact he ofen presided
in Juvenile Court as a substitute
magistrate while he was Municipal
Court judge.
