Infant Mortality Reduced.
Discussing the effect of proper milk

land said: 1T may safely be said
that the more than so per cent re-
duction in infant mortality in this
country since the beginning of this
century may to the largest extent be
ascribed to the improvement in milk
sanitation. What has been observed
in the country at large has also been
borne out in the District.
"A drop in infant mortality from
283 per 1000 live births in 1900 to so
per 1000 live births for 1885, and
the progressive reduction in the bac-
terial count in the market milk from
22,000,000 per cubic centimeter GO

the latter affected by the adoption Of
the present milk code and its enforce
ment under the able direction Of my
predecessors in oflce-conStitute q
record Of brilliant achievement in the
field Of application Of sanitation in
the interest Of health and life con-
servation.
IF the present record Of the Dis
trict's infant mortality Of go per 1000
live births still Is unfortunately very
much higher than that reported for
the country at large and for most large
cities. this is not due to the made
quacy Of our milk-control regulations

GOODRICH WEIGHS
FUNDING, ARREARS
Cleveland Holder Attacks
Arrangements Policies
on Financing Debt.
BY the ASSOCIATED Press.


NEW YORK, May 6-David M.
Goodrich, chairman Of B. F. Good
rich Co., told stockholders at the an
nual meeting today that serious study
was being given plans to refund the
company's funded debt and arrange
means of clearing up accumulated
preferred dividends.
William H. Hunt of Cleveland own
er Of 1913 shares of common stock.
which represented, he said, IAN In.
vestment of $120,000," attacked the
management.
He entered an objection to the
manner in which the minutes of past
meetings, particularly those Of last
Summer, had been summarized for
reading at today's meeting.
Hunt last July made a bitter pro-
test against the management and the
way in which it was handling prob
lens incident to its funded debt.
Goodrich, who presided at the meet
ing, told Hunt that the stenographic
record of last Summers meetings had
not been brought to today's meeting,
but added, 1t is preserved"
In answer to questions of Hunt and
other stockholders, Goodrich said,
There has been a great deal of work
devoted to the subject of payment on
back preferred dividends"
1T is a very complex subject" he
said 1T is hoped that some plan can
be reached. The whole thing Is much
more complicated than it looks on the
surface"
Much work has also been done over
many months" on plans for a refund-
ing operation he told one stakeholder
who asked why the company had not
taken advantage of present low rates
in the money market
Concerning the pending refunding
plans, Goodrich said that although
the consent Of the stock is secured"
there was an attack on proxies voted
last Summer and this matter Is now
awaiting settlement in court.

ADVANCES SCORED
. BY QUALITY FOODS
Sales Show Large Increase
Both in Dollars and Ton
mage Over 1885.
BY ]. G. DONLEY.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The largest
increases in any section of the food
industry are being made by quality
products. And that is the best answer
to the so-called sensational" dog food
disclosures.
Canning meat for dog food got its
start when large number of horses,
bought for export to Paris, where the
meat was to be offered for human con-
sumption in the Rue Moutard, under
the familiar signs Of the brass horse, "
were left on the contractors hands.
An "out" was found in canned dog
food and from that start the industry
had a large growth. using other meats
in addition to horsefesh. The con-
venience of prepared food for the fam
lily dog has been its big selling point,
and If there has been any effect upon
the family table, 1t is that four-footed
pets have received less from the house.
hold larder.
Price About Unchanged.
There has actually been a dog
gone good increase in sales Of human
food. both in dollars and in tonnage.
the entire United States is estimated
at or per cent above year ago.
The price of food is just about the
same as year ago, or perhaps of a
bit. While the dollar volume is up be-
cause of a shift to better quality prod
ucts and greater variety, the tonnage
is just about bach to normal.
The actual tonnage movement Of
food products through commercial
channels was off or per cent at the
worst Of the depression, but that esti-
mate makes no allowance for food
given away by relief agencies or for in
creased production by individual con-
sumers in home gardens. After such
allowances, the actual decrease in
consumption probably would be found
to have been slight.
Recovery Brings Gains.
Gordon c. Corbaley of the American
Institute of Food Distribution tells
the writer that the largest increases
in total food consumption. in COM
parison with last season, are in the
North Atlantic States, where belated
recovery is under way. The largest
percentage gains, because of the pre-
vious low levels with which compar-
ison is made. are being shown in the
farming regions, with farmers gen.
orally increasing their purchases OF
store food"
And. proving again that, in food as
in everything else. consumption fol-
lows earning and spending power. the
heaviest actual consumption of food
products is reported by cities like De-
troit and other prosperous centers OF
manufacture of semi-durable goods
such as automobiles, mechanical re-
frigerators, washing machines. furni-
ture, etc.
