Tokios account Is that Nippon
merely is moving Its forces In

can operate more handily. Another
story is that they're being convent

The Chinese version. however Is
that Generalissimo Chang Kali

the enemy out of Kwangsi province
and now are getting them on the
run in adjoining province of
Kawngtung.~
Whenever you encounter the syl-
liable Isl" in a Chinese name you
know that that place is west OF

means east of Somewhere. For in

Large Baby Not Healthy
In the first place, overweight
babies are quite a rarity. Taking
pounds (4500 grams) as defini-
ton Of large baby, it was found
at the st. Louis City Hospital that
out of $500 deliveries in the last
FIVE years, there were only lQ2
babies who weighed more than 8
pounds. This is IL per cent.
The large baby seems to be in
some way associated with a dis
rupton of the system of the en-
doctrine glands in the baby. 1t
used to be said that a great many
Of them turned out 10 be Cretins.
which is an evidence Of thyroid
inactivity. In others, there is evil
ience of pituitary inactivity-in
aither case, a ductless gland dis
order. There is a tendency Of these
babies to turn into fat, unhealthy
children.
Associated with the cause Is
also the number of children the
mother has had. I'm this series,
The average parity of the mothers
was ST." Which means, take it,
that on the average, this was the
fifth or sixth baby Of that mother.
Another piece of lore on the SUBJ
iect that | have never seen dis
-patet is that when babies come
too close together etheones toward
the end of the series are inclined
TO be large.
Having babies makes quite a
drain on the ductless glands Of
the mother and the theory is that
when three or four come in rapid
succession, the last one does not
get as much thyroid secretion
from the mother as the others, and
the thyroid gland does not de-
velop as well.
X-Ray Valuable
II is good thing that by the
use of the x-ray We can tell so
much about babies before they are
born because in the case of large,
overweight baby it is wise TO make
special preparations.
There were more cases Of op-
erations done in order to deliver
the baby; there were more cases
Of hemorrhaTe on the part Of the
mother, and when abnormal pre-
sensations occurred they were far
more serious than in a normal
baby. The actual death rate among
the babies was per cent. tits TO
the credit of the good work at the
hospital that there were no deaths
among the mothers.
Going back to father who was
boasting on the day after Of the
9-pound baby, the studies would
indicate that he has little reason
for boasting or for being con-
graduated. The large baby is not
a sign of an extra healthy condi-
ton. In fact, it is liable to be a
liability, not only at the time of
birth, but also for some years
afterwards.

one person is killed daily in

in fatalities for 1910 despite

Prevention Bureau of the De

Two hundred and siXty-nine
persons had met death on West

It was said, compared with
231 for the same period a year
ago. If the 1889 pace Of of 365
fatalities-one for every day in
the year-can be maintained it
will result in % more killings
this year, or a total Of 361 for
1910 a reduction of four.
The big Of" however, is that
for the past six years, during
which the Accident Prevention
Bureau has kept a month by

the lowest total for any of the
last three months of the yccr has
been 80 with the highest II

Youth Sees No Hope From
Present Demo cratic Plans

The Chicago Tribune calls
attention to the sensation Great
ed by a slim colored college
girl at the closing session of the
National Federation of Women's
Republican clubs just held in
Detroit, Michigan. The girl,
Miss Bertha Swindall, is Presi-
dent of the Young Republican
club of the End Ward, Chicago
Her brief speech at the final
session, The Tribune reports,
brought members cheering to
their feet. In it's further re-
port the Tribune states:
The young student of socio-
logy, who was graduated last
year from the University of
Illinois, pictured 100000 boys
and girls wandering homeless
about the country, thousands
of children walking to school
with cardboard soles in their
shoes and thousands of others
kept at home because of lack
of clothing. "And this" she
cried bitrely, is the state of our
young people of which the New
Deal boasts"

Then Miss Swindall asSailcd
the example set by a govern
ment openly allied with the
Chicago Kelly Nash and other
machines. "Nhcn the govern
ment does not mind Joining
hands with crime. is it any
WONDER" she demanded that
many of the poor g or s million
young people who cannot expect
support from industry or par
ents under the New Dead should
turn to crime and prostitu-
tion?" ...
Then Miss Swindall. continu-
ing her eloquent recital of the
plight of youth, said Youth is
up in arms. il is hard-boilcd, it
is cynical, it has lost its faith.
Why? What is the true picture
then, of America youth today.
and what can YOU do about its
plight?"

segregation of Jerseys Negro
National Youth Administration
was taken last week when Ber-
nard S. Miller, State NYA direct
or, announced that 'Jimcrow -

Negro youth from all parts of

opened on large tract in Green

from the state go to Verona,
North Haledon Bendix and Love

Avenue was told to rearrange
the colored work in district NYA
set-up so that it would all come
under one head. The separate
set-up for colored people was
then directed from a segregat-
ed Office building at 5 Belmont
Avenue. A series of newspaper
exposes of the segregated set
up was written in the Negro
Press by Harry B. Weber. No
denial of the facts has ever
been made by Mr.. Smith.
Although the New Jersey set
up of NYA is 100 per cent Sc
grgated, the general idea be-
hind the New Deal NYA pro-
gram emanting from Washing
ton is that the races be kept
separated. This was made clear
some time ago when Mrs. Mary
Mcleod Bethune was placed in
charge of Negro Activities" in
the NYA. Her position has no
executive responsibility. Most
of her time is spent making
speeches to Negro organizations
in favor of the New Deal. But
her appointment was the signal
for racial separation in all NYA
set-ups and she approved all of
them, even that in New Jersey.
