PERSONAL OBSERVATION

This league was supposed to have been organized mercy for the recreation of the employees of the teams they represent Tor one eve ming of gala fun. However, we noticed that some teams are bring ing in topnotchers in their lineup who really shouldn't bowl with the lads merely on account of the fact that they don't even work for the concern they representl Really, folks, that's really worse than a sting from queen bee! I'd sug- gest that the president call a special meeting of all captains and sort out the offenders to remove the ringers" merely for the sport of the game. What brought this to our att tention was the fact that many of the boys were grumbling about this fact after the nightly games, and by heck, we're going to have har- mony within our clicque by all means!

Mortality Rate
 57 Per 1000 Live Births Held Unsatis- factory = Connecti- cut Shows Big Drop

Despite the improvement in in- fant mortality that has taken place in every state of the Union during the past decade, the rate of 57 per 1000 live births prevail ing today is still unsatisfactory, accordding to the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, who further point out that in some of the states the rate is far above the average for the nation.
 Of 21 states where the infant mortality rates for the period 1933-1937 were higher than the country's rate of 57 per 1000 live births, all but four are located in the south, while only one state of the southern belt, namely Arkan- sas, had below average rate of 52.2 per 1000 live births. Oregon, with a rate of 41.4 per 1000 live births, had the best record of any of the states for the 1933-1937 pe- riod, although it was 30 per cent higher than that of New Zealand, while only four others-Washing- ton, New Jersey, Connecticut and Nebraska-had rates below 45 per 1000. There were no states within this low range In the period 1928 to 1882. The greatest improve ments during the ten year period 1928 to 1887 were made by Pennsyl- vania. New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island, fin each of which the infant mortality rates declined more than 20 per cent. The least improvement was expe- rienced in Florida, where a reduc- tion of only 2.8 per cent was re- corded.
 The highest infant mortality rate for the 1933-1937 period was in New Mexico where it reached l28.4 per 1000 live births. New Mexico and Arizona, the latter with a rate of 113.4 per 1000 live births, were the only states where more than one out of every 10 new born infants died in the first year of life.
 "Although the maternal instinct to care for the newborn infant awakens spontaneously. childbirth. by itself. dos not bring to the mother the requisite knowledge that will give the infant the best possible chance to survive it's haz- ardous first year of life." the stat- isti:ians point out. "This knowl- edge the mother can gain only from sources available to her from public or private agencies that make it their business to dissem- mate the latest advances in pre- natal and neonatai care"

New York, July l0.-(UP)-Stocks edged forward fractions to a point in quiet trading today in reflection of easing tension over the foreign situation.
 Part of the buying also was attrib- uted to good business news of the past week.
 American Telephone moved up IA points to 162 1-2, while Lone Star Cement rose point to 48 1-2. Most pivotal shares had small gains. Chrysler hit an early high of 70 3-4 and then steadied around 70 3-8, up 3-4. General Motors was supported around its previous close of 42 3-4. Rubber shares and automobile access sory issues generally had small gains.
 Copper, mercantile, farm equip ment, tobacco food, oil and electrical equipment shares were steady on moderate advances.
 Cotton Futures
 New York, July 10-(UP)-Cottno Futures established new seasonal highs today on gains ranging to 55 cents a bale.
 Around noon, July was equal to its high for the season at 956, up 3 points, while other options were equal to or at ne wseasonal peaks on advances of 9 to II points.
 The improvement reflected gen. eral buying movement partly in sponse to trade reports that an ex- port subsidy of around 1-2 cents was virtually assured. This belief had an inverse effect on overseas markets, with prices abroad drop- ping rather sharply.
 The market here, however, got off to a good start, unchanged to 6 points higher. Prices were bolstered further when buying orders disclosed limited offerings.
 Worth street textile markets re- ported little change in status fol- lowing the dullness of the past week.

New York, N. r., July 10.-The Metropolitan Life Insurance com- pany has completely financed and owns outright a low cost housing development in Long Island City and is now constructing in the Borough of Bronx of New York city the largest integral housing pro- ject so far planned and built in the United States, Frederic w. Ecker, president of the com pany, testified on July 6 before the temporary National Economic Com mittee in Washington, D. c. The Long Island undertaking provided 2,125 apartments while the Bronx project, known as Parkchester, will provide 12,269 apartments. The average room rental of the Long Island apartments is somewhat un- der $9 per month. The first unit of the Bronx project will be completed in l940.
 Started in 1922
 MT. Ecker told the committee that the Long Island Project was undertaken in 1922, under 8 law en- acted by the New York state legis- lature, to meet then existing housing shortage particularly for groups in the lower income brackets and as a demonstration that such an undertaking could be built by private capital to be rented at 50 per month per room.

 The climax of the maneuvers will come when this Field Army, consist ing principally of four National Guard Divisions from the New Eng land States, New York and New Jer- sey, advances in battle array against somewhat smaller force of the Regular Army armed and equipped with the latest devices of modern, high-speed warfare.
 General Drum himself will com mand the Field Army which will be composed of two Corps made up of two Divisions each. The First Corps, commanded by Major General Nor ris B. Payne, of the Connecticut National Guard, will consist of the 18th Massachusetts and New Hampshire) and the 43rd (Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecti- cut National Guard Divisions.

Shaky London Counts Thousands Dead In Make Believe Air Raids
Medical Aid Held Inadequate For Wartime
By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Stan Correspondent

London, July 10--If the combined German and Italian air fleets should come over London in bomb-dropping wave after wave, hour after hour and day after day, it is estimated that in addition to thousands of Killed. there would be perhaps as many as 300,000 wounded in a week
 These figures - guesses, estimates what you will--are based pon re- cent statement that do spite won- derful preparations for defense by anti-aircraft guns, balloon barrage and fighter planes, perhaps 75 per cent of the enemy planes would succeed in reaching London.
 Such possible catastrophe in the number of wounded people presup- < taken all necessary steps to have enough doctors, surgeons and nurses hon hand, to have adequately pro- tected hospital wards with sufficient beds, and to arrange for rapid eva cuation of the injured to safer places outside London as soon as possible.
 But the supposition Is wrong. Nine months after the war scare of last September, adequate arrangements for medical services are still lack ing.
 London has two kinds of hospitals --those supported by taxation rais- ed by the London County Council and the great teaching hospitals which are maintained by public voluntary gifts.
 On paper a good wartime scheme has been evolved. This Greater London, with it's some 8,00000O people, has been divided into ten sectors radiatng from Charing Cross. In each section there are voluntary hospitals and London County Council hospitals.
 The plan: after patients are treated in any of these hospitals, they will be taken to institutions lying outside the main parts of the city. Each of the ten sectors has 8 medical group officer, a lay officer and a chief matron.
 So far, so good. But the vide spread complaint Is that the Min igtry of Health has been lax in not naming some one person to take charge of and coordinate all the medical, surgical and nursing efforts necessary in case of war. Nor has thtre been any very clear statement as to what ambulance services are available, nor who is to have gen. eral charge of them.
 Also, If there has been any pro- vi.ion for underground, bombproof surgical wards, with adequate lighting an dother facilities vital for emergency operations, little has been made known to the general public.
