1900 Attend
EllingtOn's
Louis Ball

Two masters met Monday eve
ming at the beautiful Graystone
ballroom-Duke Ellington. master
of swing syncopation, kingpin OF
sweet soothing melodies and grand
master of musical interpretations
found small crowd of 1900 when
he came to play for master Joe
Louis victory party.
Ellington Holds Record
A few years ago, the sweet strains
OF Ellington music was so we'll
liked by city dance-goers that they
all went en- masse and aided him in
setting an attendance record at the
Graystone. His record which has
been threatened many times but
never broken still stands at the
high mark Of over $500.
The Ellington dance and Louis
victory ball perhaps didn't appeal
to many Of the dance and mirth-
makers of Motor City because they
had not rested after dashing hither
and yon after Louis floored Bob
Pastor. Nevertheless the small gath
ering had grand time.
Champ Seemed to Have Nice Time
Even Champion Joe Louis seemed
to be enjoying the dance as much
as his admirers, as the Duke got
the Bomber to come up and say a
few words to his audience. While
upon on the bandstand Joe, we'll

striped suit together with Ivie An
derson led out with his favorite
song, something about Hip, Hep
the Jumpin' 1--WE" And the over
1900 dancers and non-dancers went
wild.
There was mad scramble and a
mad rush for the champ by the
dancers in an effort to secure auto
graphs as he left the bandstand;
and for the first time in a long time
Louis seemed to like 1t.
The current hits played in an
Ellington manner had music lovers
ears listening harder and enjoying
more than ever the music Of band.
who play the tunes in harmony
with the soul OF one man.
The Duke rode in all his melodi-
Gus finery as he played song after
song, products from his own hand
and from=the hand of other great
song writer's in a manner that kept
all feet in the building moving.

Doctors Study
Maternity Deaths

There were 10 deaths incident to
pregnancy and childbirth reported
in Detroit for the year 1888. While
this is about one-third the rate
!oun1 at the turn Of this century it
still IS a serious public health prob
lem because the death OF a mother
brings with it a train OF social
problems which goes on for many
years.
A study made by the Department
OF Health of 1887 mothers OF babies
born alive in the city of Detroit in
1897 reveals that 1874 OF these wo-
men did not see a physician until
the time of delivery. OF the $3.50
women who furnished the informa-
ton in this study. but ten percent
reported that they saw a physician
during the first month OF preg-
nancy, and sixty percent did not
seek medical care until the fifth
month. This study included cross
section of the city and represents
tnenty-five percent Of the total
brit 5.
Dr. Bert U. Estabrook, deputy
commissioner, says that if further
decrease in maternal deaths is to
be experienced the child-bearing
women of the community will have
to learn to seek medical care early
in pregnancy in order that safe
guards may be thrown around them
to prevent some OF these needless
deaths. OF the infants who die
during the first year of life more
than half die during the first month
from causes which may be attrib-
uted to prenatal conditions in the
mother. Prenatal care conserves
the lives of mothers and prevents
the early deaths OF infants, he says.
