drugs in puerperal sepsis, or child
bed fever. In 1912, 29 states had
a maternal death rate of less than
ga per 1000 live births. In 1886
no state in the Union had so low
a rate, the best rates were about
per 1000 live births.
1t was 100 years ago that the
first attempts to influence the NOR
tally and deliberately attempt to
save women's lives in the period
of childbirth were begun. Before
that il was considered that what
happened to a mother was an act
of Providence. No human agency
could influence it and it was inn
pious to try. In 1S43 a young doc
tor 81 years old named Oliver
Wendell Holmes read a paper be-
fore the Boston Society of Medical
Improvement, in which he suggest
ed that the fever of which young
mothers died shortly after child
birth was contagious and further
more that it was spread from pa
tient TO patient by the attending
doctors and nurses.
Fever Proved Contagious
This, remember, was long before
the days when germs were known
and identified, long before such
things as antiseptics. Long before
Lister had shown the way to make
surgery aseptic. Young DR.. Holmes
had to prove his points by infer
ence-by reciting cases in which a
doctor who had been attending a
woman who had childbed fever had
attended another woman in child
birth and had contaminated her.
Naturally his statements aroused
a Juror of resentment among the
medical profession. Medical men
were not as receptive to new ideas
then as now. But gradually with
the accumulation of. evidence came
acceptance, especially after the
Viennese obstetrician, Semmel-
weiss, showed that by dipping the
hands in chlorinated lime solution
the doctor rendered himself fairly
safe to attend a mother in labor.
With the introduction of surgical
gowns, sterilized instruments, rub
Der gloves, ETC., the obstetrician
prepares himself as carefully for
his duties as the surgeon does for
an abdominal or other operation.
Regular Examination
An additional safeguard to the
mother is the growth of the prac-
tice of careful examination and
care during the entire expectant
period. This has been slow proc
ess of education, but it has borne
fruit and few women in North
America would think of allowing a
pregnancy to go to term without
regular medical consultation. The
use of the Xray and pelvic meas
urements and blood pressure meas
urements has served to prepare
the doctor if there is any deviation
from normal present.
The results of these discoveries
and campaigns is shown in the sta
tistics which l have quoted. The
worst mortality is found in the
Southern States among the negro
population who do not employ
doctor at all. The statistics arc
everywhere made worse by the in
clusion of families who for eco
nomic or other reasons do not take
advantage of the opportunities of
prenatal care and of doctors or
midwives who observe aseptic pre-
cautions during delivery. The
mother who is intelligent in her
selection Of an obstetrician may
be assured nowadays that her de-
livery will be far safer than the
act Of crossing the street at some
of our busy corners.

series of rulings designed to
standardize pay rates in aviation
plants. They involved six big COM
panies with plants in 10 cities. Most
recent of the decisions dealt with
three Curtiss- Wright plants in St.
Louis, Louisville and Columbus,
Ohio.
Vinson, however, has held all of
them up, even though they had already
dragged on for a year or more
through w. L. B. slow-motion pro-
cesses. He put the board on notice
it must submit evidence satisfying him
that the wage adjustments proposed
do not upset pay structures in the 10
cities, or the decisions will be thrown
out.
Board members are reported to
be up in arms over this latest in
reference by Vinson, which has
been branded as the ''last straw"
Should Vinson, after getting evil
dence from the board justifying
the wage increases, override the
aircraft decisions, there will be a
''blowup'' in that body, with pos
sible wholesale designations, it was
predicted.

House Committee
Exposes A Racket
Congress Hears That Small Group Of War Contractors

Their Skilled Employees To Other Firms

One of the nastiest rackets uncov-

been brought to light by the House
Military Affairs Committee. It has
evidence showing that number Of
contractors are making huge profits
at the expense of taxpayers and work
ers by farming out" their skilled en-

One company was disclosed to
have made net profit of $500, 900
by farming out 1872 workmen for
nine months to another company.
The second company paid the bill
for the workers without complaint
because it has a cost-plus-fxed-
fee war contract which permits it to
pass on all labor costs to the gov
eminent.
Rates paid for the EARNED OUT
labor, the committee revealed,
ranged from $50 to $50 a day.

by Congressman John J. Sparkmar
