 Troubled and unhappy, man has always turned to religion, and dur ing the past few years he has turn cd to 1t more eagerly than he has for long time.
 All long ng-established churches have shown striking increases in membership in late years from people seeking contentment and happiness in religion. Americas churches gained S37, ,404 members in 1e36, the Christian Herald reports, the Roman Catholic faith increas- ing by 22l,S37, the Baptist by l40,S0e, Reformed by Sl,96s, Luth- eran, 43,906, Methodist, 4l,798, and nearly all other denominations in proportion.
 Such an increase shows definitely the tendency of people to turn in a troubled time to ancient faiths and ancient sources of contentment and happiness.
 But more striking perhaps has been the eager turning of many to forms of religion that differ widely from those of the past. The rise of phenomenon like the oxford Movement Is typical of such trends, which extend far down into com- binations of what Is generally thought of as religion with various forms of mysticism and occult phil- osophy.
 Religious authorities have not heSitated to call the oxford MoVe- rnent, or First Century Christian Fellowship, the greatest religious movement since Wesley" The founder, Rev. Frank Nathan Daniel Buchman, was e Pennsylvania cler- gyman who carried his movement to Oxford in 1920.
 THE TIME WAS RIPE
 There war-ravaged British youth was waiting for him, and the move- naent took on. Tn the United States 1t obtained quite 0 foothold in sev- eral eastern colleges. And when the depression hit the United States, the time was ripe for 6 movement that already had large followings in Britain. South Africa, Norway and Denmark.
 Nobody knows how many thous- ands are devotees of the Buchman principles, but five and ten thou sand have showed up for his house parties" These are a sort of evan gelical camp-meeting in high hats, for Buchmanism seems to appeal to an extraordinary proportion of peo- pie in comfortable circumstances.

INFANT MORTALITY
 RATE ON DECLINE
Premature Birth Regarded as Leading Cause in
 States Mortality

While the infant mortality rate for Connecticut has been substantially reduced during the past 20 years, statistics nevertheless indicate an increased percentage of infant deaths occurring in the first day of life and point to the age at which the problem of infant mortality must be attacked if further reduce ton in the rate Is to be immediate ly effected, according to William 0. Welling, director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the State Depart ment of Health.
 The leading cause of infant mor- tality is premature birth. In 1916, premature birth was 20 per cent of the total infant mortality rate which is based upon the number of deaths per 1000 living births among children in their first year of l.fe. In l936, premature birth was nearly 36 per cent of the total. Both of these problensseem sus- ceptible to attack by more adequate prenatal care and an earlier con- ference with the attending physi- clan, MT. Yelling said.
 Infant mortality rates by causes of death indicate general improve ment all along the line, with not able reductions having been achiev- ed for deaths from broncho pneu- monia, diarrhea, injury at birth and congenital debility. When the rate is studied by age groups, 1t Is found that there has been 0 general reduce tion in the groups under one week, under one month, under six months and under one year, and even under one day, but the percentage of in- fant deaths in the first day of life is @ greater proportion of the whole number than in the past.
 In order to avoid possible misun- standing of the increased percentage proportion of all infant deaths to those occurring in the first day, MT. Yelling stated, 1t should be noted that our great savings of infants has been made after the first month of life. This must mean @ con- centration in the early age group, and an increased percentage of the total deaths. Also, with the elimina- ton of many of the causes of infant deaths, premature birth by its con- stant persistence takes on an in. creased percentage proportion of all deaths.
 The state infant mortality rate for le36 was 423 while he maternal mortality rate was 4.7, both per 1000 living births.

WESLEYAN HONORS
 FORMER CRIDDERS
Captains of. Teams Invited to Alumni Week-End
 Program Nov. 5
ls,ecIal 0 the DernoCratl

MiddletOwn, oct. 27.-Rev. Harry II. Beattys of New Canaan, who m 1887 was captain of Q wesleyan foot ball team, is the oldest of the former football captains who have thus far signified their intentions of being among the guests of honor at the annual Fall Alumni Week End at wesleyan University on November 5, 6 and 2.
 MT. Beattys was captain of the team three years after Wesleyan had been admitted to the Big League, consisting of Yale, Prince ton, Harvard, Pennsylvania and wesleyan. While beaten by the first three, wesleyan managed to defeat Pennsylvania and the college historians of that day recorded the fact that no team outside of the big league had ever defeated Wesleyan and only two, Michigan and Will Hams, had scored against the Cardinals. s
 Other former captains planning to attend the week end include: George E. Manchester 'so, of Win. sted; Judge John s. Pullman 'o2, of Bridgeport; Representative Edwin o. Smith '93, of Mansfield; Arthur c. Pomeroy '95, of Noroton Heights; Robert P. wilson '97, of Middletown; William P. Calder '0S, of Bristol; A. K. Dearborn '06, of Boston, Mass; Walter s. North 07, of Bridgeport; F. B. Taylor '0e, of Boston, Mass; c. Everett Bacon 'l3, of New York City; W. L.Deetjen IT, Upper Mont clair, N. J.; Harold c. Harman lS, of West Hartford; Charles E.

 MUST BE HAPPIER"
 Though Theosophy dates back to 1875 in the United States, the teachings propagated by Helena P. Blavatsky and Annie Besant have attracted growing following. Be- tween religion and philosophy, this creed revolves around 8 body of oc- cult teachings believed to have been passed down from ancient adopts or Inahatmas, principal among which are reincarnation and the Indian doctrine of Karma.
 Mrs. Besant rose to the height of her career in her effort in 1925 to introduce Jiddu Krishnamurti, presonable young Indian as the physical vehicle for the express sions of the World Teacher" By 1929, however, Krishnamurti him. self asked dissolution of his follow ing.

 Spiritualism seems to have slumped of somewhat, but Is still active.
 New Thought is still going strong verging over toward Social Credit as a form of concrete social action.

Charles Lockhart, "A years old, a resident of the Fairbanks dis trict since its early days, was found dead Sept. 2lst in the open on Fish Creek, about three miles from Mike Stepovich's place.
 United States Deputy Marshal John J. Buckley, U. S. Commis- sioner w. N. Growden, and MT. Stepovich left Fairbanks in a caterpillar, driven by Don Miller, to get the remains. The caterpil- lar is needed to get through the brush and rough country to the place of death. The body is ex- pected to be brought to this city late this afternoon.
 Word of the demise was com municated to the marshars office but no details were given.
 MT. Lockhart was born in Sprom ness, Ontario Province, Canada. He came north in May, 1898, as participant in the rush to the Klondyke. He was an early ar rival in Fairbanks district, and continuously followed mining, be- ing associated at times with MT. Stepovich. He was member of the Order of Alaska Pioneers.

SUREST CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS

The surest cure for that once dreaded se-tuberculosis is prevention. Prevention will do more to lower the number of cases of infection than any other one thing. The old saying: "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" still holds good; and 1t is with this in mind that the Territorial Health Council is calling upon the citizens of A. aska to take steps to minimize the chances of infection of tuber- culosis.
 Knowledge is the greatest wea- pon which the Health Council controls. It has in recent months and years called upon the news papers of Alaska and other avail able sources to carry the word of Caution, Sanitation, and Cleanli- ness.
