Conference Studies
Ways 10 Reduce Toll
OF Premature Births
Health of Futher Found
To Be q Factor in
Mortality Rote

With the story of Minnie" as an
Inspiration, some go pediatricians,
obstetricians, social workers and lay
men sat down today to work on the
problem of the baby born too soon.
The early life of Minnie was told
by DR.. Stewart H. Clifford, instruc-
tor in pediatrics and child hygiene,
Harvard Medical School, at the an
nual meeting of the National Coun-
Gil for Mothers and Babies in the
Washington Hotel. Minnie was
born three months too soon. She
weighed only l pound 6 ounces, one
OF the smallest babies ever kept
alive.
DR.. Clifford's motion pictures of
Minnie showed how she was kept
alive, how she was fed in an incu-
bator and how she looked a year
later.
Few Premature Babies Live.
DR.. Clifford reported. however,
that obstetricians all over the coun-
try are able to save only a few more
premature babies today than they
did in 1900.
In discussing what obstetricians
can do to prevent premature birth,
DR.. Fred L. Adair, chairman of
the department of obstetrics and
gynecology at Chicago's Lying In
Hospital, suggested that women
who engage in hard work may be
forced to give birth prematurely.
DR.. Adair also suggested that
specialists get away from thinking
only of the mother and baby and
give the father a little considera.
ton. He advocated that obstet-
ricians pay attention to the health
of the father before conception as
one of the means of controlling in
FAINT mortality.
Maternity Leave Discussed.
How much maternity leave a
woman should be given also was
discussed. DR.. Ethel C. Durham,
one of the pioneers in the field Of
saving premature babies, disclosed
that the Federal agencies have
been inquiring about the extent of
maternity leave a woman should
have.
DR.. Edwin Daily, director of the
Maternal and Child Health Division
Of the United States Children's
Bureau, reported that Is States and
territories have written in to the
Children's Bureau describing i'm
provements in their care of the
premature child.
A portable incubator was brought
to the meeting by DR.. Jacob Kotz
of Sibley Hospital, who said that
until two years ago so per cent of
the babies born prematurely in
Washington died. He told of the
Variety Clubs gift of incubators to
the hospital, and urged the audience
to find equally charitable groups in
their own communities to aid in
prenatal work.

buttons, 1t was pointed out. SoNci-
tation Of these funds Is expected to
start In the near future.
Seating Plans Worked Out. :,
The Capitol stands viii provide
seats for the Presidents personal
party, members of the Senate and
House, the diplomatic corps, Gov.
errors Of the States and other spe-
cial guests. The Joint Inaugural
Committee will have 1896 seats for
ALLEGATION. There will be a special
section Of 628 seats for members
OF the Capitol press galleries. A
special steel stand Is being erected
facing the presidential stand to
accommodate about so photogra-

Plans Taking Shape Slowly
For Third Roosevelt Inaugural
Stands at Capitol to Be Smaller Because Of
Higher Costs of Materials and Labor

Rising lumber prices and increased
wages for labor are curtailing the
size of the stands being built in from
Of the Capitol for the third in
auguration of President Roosevelt
January 20.
To take advantage of present
prices for lumber, which are ex-
pected to increase. construction OF
the platform and stands at the east
front Of the Capitol is far ahead
of normal schedule, however. De.
livery of lumber began October II.
Meanwhile. because of uncertainty
as to the plans Of Senator M. M
Nicely of West Virginia, chairman
of the Joint Congressional Commit.
tee on Arrangements for the inaugu.
ration and Governor ELECT of West
Virginia. there has been some delay
in starting arrangements for the
inaugural ceremonies.
Halsey Is Probable Chairman.
It is expected President Roosevelt
will designate Col Edwin A. Halsey
secretary to the Senate, as chairman
Of the General Committee on Ar
rangements to succeed the late Rear
Admiral Cary T. Grayson. chairman
for the first two Roosevelt inaugurals
Col. Halsey said today he had not
yet received official notification.
1t is considered likely, in view
of the world situation, that the in
auguration will stress American
unity and preparedness.
Congress has appropriated only
$35 900 this year to defray the in
augural costs. compared to $4,000
last year.
David Lynn. architect of the Cap
toll, said there will be at least 5000
fewer seats available in the Capitol
stands for the inaugural than in 1887
Present estimates place the total at
1854, compared to 1852 four years
ago.
Plans by the joint committee
probably will be delayed until Sen
ator Nicely discloses whether he will
take the oath of office as Governor
of West Virginia before the January
20 ceremonies or will wait until after
the President Is sworn In for his
third term.
Barley May Replace Nicely.
Friends say he probably will be
inaugurated as Governor in the
immediate future. In this event,
Senator Barley Of Kentucky, ma
jority leader, probably will succeed
him as chairman of the joint COM
mittee. Senator McNary of Oregon,
Senate minority leader, is the third
Senate member Of the joint COM
mittee.
House members are Speaker Sam
Rayburn, Majority Leader John w.

messed historical play given BY the
eighth grade social studies class an
der the supervision Of Mrs. Ollie Il.
Atkins. This play is a part Of the
educational program OF the Chill
drens Crusade For Children. It's
purpose Is to dramatize wildly, to
the boys and girls in our schools,
the blessings Of American govern
ment. The Children's Crusade For
Children is a nationwide program,
in which the most prominent educa-
tors and authors OF the country are
cooperating, to secure help from
American children for the children
throughout the world without
country. Il was initiated by a group
OF educators and friends Of children,
headed by Dorothy Garfield Fisher.
From April % through April 30,
1910, each American school child
will be asked to bring as many pen
nies as he Is years old Tor anything
he can afford down 10 one cent? to
70 into fund for all refugee chill
dren Chinese, Polish,
German, Spanish, Austrian, Czechs,
Finnish-an the children without
homes or a fatherland. The animat-
ing idea of the Children's Crusade
For Children is 10 give our Ameri-
can children an opportunity to make
themselves, a generous gesture of
friendliness, direct to other chill
dren, and will help counteract the
negative impression of overwhelm-
ing evil in human life.
An important feature of the Chill
dren's Crusade is the method OF dis
tribution of the money raised. This
will be done by an independent jury
of well-known Americans, which will
apportion the money raised among
the already well-organized commit
tees now functioning in every field
Of foreign relief. The members of
the jury of awards are: Mrs. Frank
lin d. Roosevelt. DIR. Charles B. Glen.
superintendent of schools. Birming-
ham. Alabama. and former president
of the American Association of
School Administrators Irving Leh-
man, chief Justice. New York Cir
