SKIN DISEASES UNDER CONTROL
Industrial Hygienist Re- ports Progress in Battle
 Over Affections

There is definite reason to believe that conditions causing skin affec- tions due to working environment may be successfully controlled, de- clared Allan L. Coleman, chief in- dustrial hygienist in the weekly broadcast of the state department of health. In the chemical indus tries where workers would normally be exposed to strong acids, alkalies, oils and solvents, MT. Coleman di- vulged that fewer cases of derma- tosis develop that would be expect ed because precautinary measures have been instituted. [
 From data now available, MT. Coleman said the annual incl dense of occupational dematoses in the United States has been estima- ted to be at least one percent for all idustrial workers. About 30 per cent occur in the metal industries, with the number of cases in the do- nestle and food industries coming second and third. respectively. For the past three years, an average of about 220 cases per year have been recorded in Connecticut by the bureau of occupational diseases of the state departmen tof health, he stated.
 Such agents as heat, friction, al- kalies, solvents, acids, synthetic resins, dyes and petroleum products were mentioned as possible causes of .occupational dermatosis. While skin lesions of this nature may not seem important to the uninitiated, he warned that many times they affect the productive capacity of the individual, and in some cases entail 8 large expenditure of money, and preclude the individual work ing in an occupotion for which he has been trained.
 Industrial experience has shown that mildly affected workers may be treated effectively without be- ing taken from their work, it was stated.

HOSPITALS REPORT
 GAIN IN BIRTHS
St. Mary's Records 1908 New Arrivals = Water=
 bury Announces 77O

Births in the two local hospitals showed sharp increase during 1888, with St. Mary's hospital reporting an all-time high of 1218 infants ushered into the world. Waterbury hospital had ITO births, a remark ably high figure in view of the fact that the maternity section and nursery at the hospital were closed Tor some weeks last year for altera- tion and redecoration.
 Hospital births in Waterbury have increased tremendously in the past five years. In 1884 there were 1879 babies born at St. Mary,s and Wa terbury hospitals. In the same two institutions last year there were 1888 births, just trifle short of 2.OOO This marks gain of 6O9 hospital births in the period since 1894.
 St. Mary'S was called on to ham, ale an ususually large number of maternity cases. while the altera- tions were being made at Waterbury hospital. For time there were many extra maternity wards in service, and the maternity staff had 10 De enlarged considerably. The 12l8 births at St. Mary's meant an aver age of more than 3 babies born each day at the institution.
 The Waterbury hospital birth av- craze was far ahead of other years for most of the year, and probably new high mark would have been set except for the closing down of the maternity wards were open the summer months Even with the temporary closing, the hospitals ITO births were only 2 less than the previous years total of 792, when the maternity wardsr were open the year round.
 Medical authorities agree that both local hospitals were admirably fitted for caring for maternity pa- tients. Every modern method proven successful is employed. and every facility to aid the patient and the infant is used.
 The new Waterbury hospital ma ternity section and nursery comprise one of the finest units in the entire country. Every possible convenience is at hand for mother ana child.
 In the early months of this year both hospitals have had continued high birth rates. and 1t is expected that the 1889 figures will probably exceed those of 1888.

Nation To Obserue
 Child Health Day

The 1899 May Day-Child Health Day slogan will be reminiscent of the Children's Year campaign which ended in 1919-20 years ago, the Children's Bureau of the U. s. de- partment of Labor announced to- day.
 "The Health of the Child Is the Power of the Nation" will be the Child Health Day slogan for 1899. First used during the Children'S Year campaign, the slogan is par ticularly appropriate this year, bureau officials point out, because 1889 will also be a year of national stock-taking in the field of child health and welfare.
 Fourth Year
 This will mark the fourth con- secutive year that the Cfildren's Bureau at the request of the state and provincial health authorities of North America has sponsored the annual celebration of May Day as Child Healtl. Day, first suggested by former chief of the Children's Bureau and carried on for many
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-30

years by the American Child Health association until Its dissolution in 1935.
 On the very eve of May Day Child Health Day. President Roose- welt has called the first meeting of the planning committee of a White House Conference on Chil- dren in a Democracy. This con- ference will be at work during the balance of the year and will close early in 1940.
 Local communities will stress their own problems in the field of child health on May 1, 1899, but special emphasis will be given to problems of nutrition, the bureau says. In preparation for May Day the Children,s Bureau has suggest ed that local communities survey what they are doing to promote good nutrition of mothers and chill dren. ~4. Estimates
 The U. s. Bureau of the Census has estimated that there were 35,- 000,0 900 children under 15 years of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-30

age in the United States in 1885, and that the number of persons under 21 totaled around 49,00O, 900.
 The extension of maternal and child-health services in the states has placed the United States in a better position to promote child health, and the recent reductions in maternal and infant mortality show that definite advances can be made.
