sider that, as Dr. Dupblin says, the population now includes "an un- naturally large number of women of child bearing age. resulting from the fecundity of prior generations" the population is not increasing in just proportions. He warns of the sharp decline in birth rate and the increase in death rate that must follow inevitably. Since the mar riage rate remains high and young people marry earlier than they did 50 years ago, there is understand able perplexity as to why families are growing smaller.
 Poor Keep Up Birth Rate
 We are familiar with the fact that those whose standards of liy- ing and whose heritage are finest are hesitant about collaborating and rearing when they cannot give their children all comforts. We know that the poor have the most children. Considering the fact that the tenements sleep them three, four or half a dozen in a bed, while one wealthy and exclusive apart ment house in New York tenants are reputed to have 200 dogs and only two children, 1t isn't hard to substantiate the fact that the most fertile areas from 8 population standpoint, as Dr. Dupblin says, are the poorest economic spots.
 There is another reason, too, one which interests every woman and every man who wants a family. So long as one out of ITS women bear ing children die in childbirth, the birth rate will stay down. Fear holds back other women from un. dergoing such . risk.
 This problem can be remedied so easily, with proper prenatal care. It is here where America has failed. Two out of every three women who die in childbirth could be saved. If expectant mothers and their hus- bands would insist that they b6 placed under medical care and abide by normal, health-bringing rules, the dangers of collaborating would be so far lessened that moth- erhood would lose its inherent ter TOT.
 Mortality Must Be Curbed
 Whether or not birth control has been influential in keeping down the birth rate is much discussed question It has little to do with the larger issue. Certainly educa- ton should be given concerning the preventability of maternal deaths. Children should be spared. In this way, woman who has not yet recovered sufficiently from bear ing child to give birth to another one, will be spared, She will grow strong and able to give birth sev- eral more times.
 If we would increase our popula- ton, we must look first to the con- ditions surrounding childbearing. women are so protected and aided during the time prior to delivery, when two out of every three who now die are saved--and the third death is in no wise due to external conditions. physicians say-women will be fearless. They will have children.
 Maternal mortality presents problem that must be solved if we would rear sons and daughters to carry on the proud heritage of our nation.

practice to draw the blood from the vein of the donor. This blood may carry some oxygen, but still the blood in the veins has given up most of its mobile oxygen to the cells and tissues and must be oxy- genated in the lungs of the recipient after 1t is injected into the recip- ient's veins.
 If the patient is unable to oxy- genate his own blood how can he oxygenate the venous blood of an- other person?

STRIKERS MAY USE
WAGONS TOP|CKET.
Bakery Drivers WaIkout
Continues-Seek Rule
on Sign Vehicles.

Strike of bakery drivers for a $38
minimum weekly wage, which started
yesterday at Dutch Baker Boy, Inc.
continued today, with the union con-
sidering some form of strike posters
to follow wagons throughout the city
If permitted by District authorities.
For the bakery, William M Edwards,
president, announced that deliveries
would continue without interruption.
Two years ago, he explained, an ef-
fort was made to unionize the drivers.
He. offered then to set aside the net
profits of the firm into a separate
fund, part of which would be dis
tributed as bonuses to the drivers.
His firm could not meet the proposed
pay scale offered by the union two
years ago, he said, and refused to
do 50.
Robert Lester, business agent of the
bakery drivers local, who was checking
up on the situation today, said early
today he had reports of % of the strik-
ers on picket duty. The pickets, he
explained, were not only exercising
their legal rights in picketing the plant
of the bakery at BOT Monroe street
northeast, but also in talking to the
drivers who had not yet struck. Lester
estimated that about 20 of the total of
81 drivers employed by the company
had struck.
The drivers now are on commission
basis with no guarantee, he said, and
many of them are working IA hours
or more daily to make a living. The
union contract provides for a minimum
weekly wage of $38 and nine hours a
day on the street.
Police were assigned to the plant
when picketing started, but there was
no trouble.
Signs were being designed today for
the pickets. Lester planned to confer
with Traffic Bureau authorities to
learn what kind of signs would be per-
mitted to pickets accompanying bakery
wagons on their trips throughout the
city.

BROWN WILL ASK
REPLACEMENT Of
POLICE STATIONS
Condition of Precinct Bases
Held "ShamefuI" by
Superintendent.
REPORT TO SUGGEST
SURVEY COMMITTEE
City Heads Also to Be Advised
of Need for Building for
Administrative Staff.

Describing as shameful" the con-
dition of some of Washington's police
precinct stations. Police Supt. Ernest
w. Brown disclosed today that one of
the major recommendation in his
forthcoming annual report to the Com
missionerS would be a request that
steps be taken to replace the old
buildings.
Specifically, Maj. Brown will urge
that special committee of District
officials be created to make a thorough
survey of the departments physical
equipment and determine which of
the precinct stations should be re-
placed and the estimate of the prob
able cost. He said the committee
should consist of a representative of
the Health Department, the Engineer
Department and the Police Depart
ment.
Aside from new station houses, Maj.
Brown said there is urgent need for
a new building to house the admin
iStrative staff and the Detective and
Traffic Bureaus, which are now quar-
tered in the old District Building, at
462 Indiana avenue.
Central Station Planned.
Plans for the proposed Municipal
Center development, which have moi
been carried out, Maj. Brown ex-
planned, contemplated erection Of a
courts building, which would contain
modern quarters for central police
station as we'll as for the administra-
tive staff and the Traffic and Detective
Bureaus. Since the plans have been
abandoned, he said. no action has
been taken toward providing the de-
partment with a new headquarters
building.
II am not ashamed Of my men or
my equipment" Maj. Brown declared,
but I can't say the same about the
police headquarters building and some
of the old precinct station houses. 1t
grieves me when visiting police officials
come to Washington and have to
show them the conditions which exist
right here in the police headquarters
of the Capital Of the Nation"
Wants Station Re-established.
Maj. Brown said his annual report
had not been completed, but that In
it he proposed to renew his request
Of last year that the old second pre-
cinct be established.
In the Police Department reorgani-
zation during the administration Of
late Commissioner Crosby, the origi-
nal second precinct was merged with
the eighth Maj Brown believes the
present second precinct covers too
much territory for effective policing.
The old second precinct station
house now is occupied by the Wom-
ans Bureau. If Maj. Browns plans
are carried out, the bureau probably
will be moved to building adjoining
the present police headquarters on
Indiana avenue. With the change,
Maj. Brown plans to redistrict the
first, second and third precincts SO as
to more equitably divide the territory
covered by each of them.

AUTO MECHANICS
END STRIKE HERE
STARTED MAY Il
Lodge Vote HaItS PiCketing,
With 18 Garages
Affected.
PAY AND CONDITIONS
BETTER, SAYS KAPLAN
Shops Show Disposition to Con-
slider Re-Employing Men,
He Declares.

The strike by automobile mechanics
in 18 garages throughout the city was
terminated" late last night. at a
largely attended meeting of Lodge 1913,
International Association of Machin-
lists, at the Sons of Jonadab Hall, 623
Indiana avenue.
The lodge took a formal vote to
bring to an end the strike, which had
started May IL and spread gradually
to 18 shops.
Pickets, which had been patroling
the streets outside the struck shops,
were called off this morning.
In a statement, David A. Kaplan
of the international union. explained
the strike was ended without definite
agreement between the union and the
employers. He indicated, however,
that the shops had shown a DISPOSE
ton to consider unemployment" of
strikers. Wage and labor conditions
had improved, Kaplan said.
Early this morning Kaplan planned
to confer further with other officials
of the union. Jack Anderson. Grand
Lodge representative, and Oliver N.
Garrison. business agent of Lodge
1913. 1t was expected further state
ment would be forthcoming later in
the day.
Explaining the action at the
meeting last night, Kaplan said:
1.-THE men learned from their officers
that the members of the Washing
ton Automotive Trade association
whose shops were on strike we're glad
to consider unemployment of the
strikers, but would make no agree
ment with the union to do so. The
union members we're satisfied that the
strike had very definitely improved
wage rates and labor conditions in
garages throughout the city and did
not think that at this time they
should permit formal union recog-
milton to stand in the way Of the re-
employment of the strikers.
The union voted also to drop all
action against union workers who re-
turned to work at the Ourisman &,
Mandell shops last week, and thus per-
mitted these men to retain their men,
bership in the mechanics union.
Unfair List Action.
"Action to place all of the struck
shops on the unfair list. which was
initiated at the Central Labor Union
last Monday night, will not be pressed,
except in shops that discriminate in
the matter of hire, or attempt in other
ways to victimize the strikers"
Mechanics, who had struck from the
Ourisman & Mandell shops. returned
recently at an increased scale of pay.
Instead of receiving 1915 per cent of
the customers dollar, as before, they
now are receiving 35 per cent of the
customers dollar. They are not re-
quired to work long hours. employers
said. but are on piece work pay, and
can work short or long hours as they
desire.
Definite information as to the re-
employment of mechanics at other
shops where men had been on strike
was not available early today.

ShO,Cn in Making of Neu viii.

A premonition that he should make
his will before beginning a trans

out early today when Burt NJ. Brom-
ley, Interstate Commerce Commission
clerk and former mayor of Colmar
Manor. Md, died in New Brighton.
Pa, Of injuries received in an auto
mobile-truck crash in which his wife
and son were killed yesterday.
Mrs. Bromley, SO, and the boy,
Burt, jr., IL, conscious, but pinned in
the wreckage, died in flames while
spectators and firemen worked fran
tically to free them from their car
after it was sideswiped by a moving
van on a narrow curve at the foot of
a hill near Beaver Falls. Pa.
Bromley was extricated, as was his
daughter, Bonita, 16. She is not be-
heved seriously hurt.
Neighbors, who were in the Brom-
ley home at 13 Pershing avenue, COL
mar Manor, before the family left
early yesterday to visit relatives In
Montana and California, said Mrs.
Mrs. Bromley expressed frequently her
misgivings about the outcome of the
trip.
One neighbor said she asked Mrs
Bromley why she was rearranging
the contents of an old dresser drawer
and Mrs. Bromley replied: Because
have a feeling I'll never be back
here again and I don't want other
people to find my belongings in a
disorderly state"
Bird H. Dolby, Bromley's attorney,
said the former mayor came to his
office Tuesday night and made out a
will, with a tacit provision covering
his trip to the coast.
Friends said the Bromleys had had
several wrecks, in one of which Bonita
was rather seriously injured.
The steep hill on which the Brom-
ley's car was smashed up yesterday
has been the scene of many accidents.
Investigators said the truck skidded
on the rain-soaked road and ran out
of control.
Three boys got the door open," a
witness told police, land got the girl
out. Then they tried to get the little
boy out. He was screaming, and the
mother was screaming.
