INFANT DEATH RATE
HERE THIRD LOWEST
Baby; Has Jour Times .the
Chance .for. Life that It
Has" In Nashville,
. Tennessee. .
"No community with an infant mor
tality rate o over SO can claim that
its babies are getting anything like a
square deal," is the declartion of Dr.
J. A. Tamisiea, who submits the fol
lowing national statistics.
This statement was recently sent
out by the New York milk commit
tee, showing infant mortality rates in
a large number of cities in the United
States. . '
The committee sent a questionnaire
to the health officers of 252: cities. Of
these, 108 either furnished no infor
mation or were unable, to furnish any
that was reliable. The statistics. ob
tained from the 144 cities that, fur
nished information are embodied in
the committee's bulletin.
Baby' Treated Fine in Omaha.
According to these figures, only
four of the 144 cities are giving babies
"a square deal." These 'cities, "with
their infant death rates; are'La Crosse,
Wis. (30.6): Ogden, Utah (39.8);
Omaha (47.1) and East Orange, N. J.
(48.8). The highest infant death rate
hi the whole series is that of Passaic,
N. J. (193.5), but in this "bad emi
nence" Passaic is closely rivaled by
Montgomery, Ala. (185.1); Nashville,
Tenn. (182.3), and Perth Amboy, N.
J."tl76.6)i No city with a population
of 200,000 or over has an infant death
rate as large as those just mentioned,
but not one of them has the "square
deal" rate of 50 and few even approach
this limit. The lowest rates' among
cities of this class are those of Seat
tle, Wash. (53.1), and Portland, Ore.
(57.7). ; The highest are those of Jer
sey City, N. J. (132.9), and Indianap
olis (131.6). . ...: . .. -:.
Four-to-One Shot, Here.
To quote the bulletin:
"Of the citjjts with a population of
100,000 or more a baby born in Omaha
was found to have four times as good
a charice to live to celebrate the first
anniversary of its birth as a baby
born in Nashville, Tenn., or Fall
River, Mass. In the cities, under 100,
000. and over 50,000 population a' Salt
Lake City baby has over three times
the chance of surviving the first year
of life that a" Passaic, N. J., or Holy
oke, Mass.", baby has, while in cities,
between 25,000 and 50,000 population
a la Crosse Wis., baby has. an ad
vantage more than six to one over a
Montgomery, Ala., or Perth Amboy,
N. J., baby." '
- Can Remedy Conditions.
The' conditions that cause these
high rates may be remedied by any
community "Ihit Is determined not tb
tolerate this waste of' infant life. -For
instance, of the 6,900 infant deaths
that eccurred last year in the Borough
of Manhattan, New York, slene over
half, at least 3,500, may be classed as
preventable if the New York milk
committee's rate of 50 may be ac
cepted as normal. If only six babies
in the Borough of Manhattan were to
be killed or even threatened with
death by a bomb from an areoplane
the country would be aflame with in
dignation. An observer from Mars
might find this phenomenon curious
when placed by the side of the calm
unconcern with which we regard con
ditions that doom to death thousands
of infants in this country.

solutely no glare. No need for dimming. And, with all this, gives Hfo more
light on the road by converting "sky" rays into road rays.

Old methods were wasteful so they
had to make way for new
Men can no longer afford to
sow wheat by hand nor burn
good gasoline in wasteful motors.
Those inventions have served
the world best which have en
abled it to do more work with less
exrcUmreoftime,energy,money.
Because the Twin-six motor gets
more miles out of every gallon of
gasoline performs an important
service at less cost it has taken its
place in the ranks of those notable
inventions which really set new
standards in human advancement
More power- smoother power
and the saving of gasoline!
The time had come for a more
economical motor and the Twin
six met the need.
And a threefold production, to
satisfy the greater demand, was the
immediate result. ;
There are twenty and more
body styles to select from all
with that matchless splendor of
finish which helps to give the
Packard its marked distinction.
