B.—The death rate of babies during the first year ,of life has decreased considerably iin this country during the last fifteen years. At present the rate is 67 per 1,000 births. This does not yet equal the very low rate of New Zealand, which has for years held the record in the matter of a low infant death rate. There the present rate is 36 per 1,000. "This means that only 3% per cent of all the children born die before the year is out,” a report by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company explains. “In our own country the figure is nearer 7 per cent but this represents the remarkable gain of 33 per cent since 1915, when the birth registration area was established and infant mortality figures became available for large parts of the United States.” The present United States rate compares favorably with those of most other advanced countries.

Blows Blues I ’ Sad Tunes of Harmonica King (Past 70) Makes Prisoners Protest.

Bu United Press Evanston, hi., sept. B.—it took Eugene Monroe (age (> over 70; occupation, none; ad-' dress, same) only an hour to play his way into the Evanston jail, but five hours to play his way out again. A stern policeman found Monroe, a gray-haired wanderer, sitting on a curb in the rain, playing a harmonica like the policeman had never heard one played before. The officer, his sternness gradually disappearing under the spell of the aged tramp’s music, listened for an hour, then led a two man parade to the police station as Monroe, never stopping, swinging through Yankee Doodle Dandy and the National Emblem march. There, out of the rain, the old man continued his concert. For five hours he played swinging from one selection to another without a break. Some of the tunes were gay, but most of them were sad. Six prisoners stood it as long as they could, then arose in unison and the music was lost in the pleas they shouted to the jailer. “Take him out.” they cried, “can't you see he's breaking our hearts! Isn’t it sad enough to be in jail without having to stand for this.” So the policeman led another march, this one toward the city limits, and when last seen, Monroe was walking west, still playing the harmonica, still happy. It had stopped raining. USES DOG AS ROOST Strange Friendship of Two Animals and Fowl Is Reported.

CHARITY BRINGS INSANITY AND EARLYJEATH Thanksgiving Day Mercy Deed Is Darkened by Heedless Motorist. Bu United Pre* CHICAGO, Sept. 8. Charles Adams was 58 and poor, but he had much to be thankful for the last Thursday in last November. Adams was happy that morning. He had little money, but he had a job, was healthy and had friends. Before he sat down at his boarding house to eat his Thanksgiving dinner, he thought of a poor widow who lived nearby and who didn't ave as much to be thankful for as he had. Carrying a basket of food, he started to the widow’s home. An automobile ran him down, broke both his legs and fractured his skull. Several persons saw the motorist stop, pick Adams up, place him in the car and drive away, supposedly to a hospital. A few hours later the injured man was found in an alley several blocks away. Adams was taken to Oak Forest infirmary. He became paralyzed. Then worry over his injuries and grief over being a helpless charity patient drove him insane. He was taken to the state hospital for the insane at Dunning. He died Sunday. The motorist who ran over him and then threw his broken body into an alley has never been found.

INDIAN POMPEII FOUNDJN WEST Houses Are Found Beneath Volcanic Ash Layer. By Science Service FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Sept. B.—Evidence of an Indian Pompeii, buried under a fall of black volcanic ash by the last eruption of Sunset crater, more than 1,200 years ago, has been discovered near here by an expedition from the museum of northern Arizona. “We tentatively date the eruption between 500 and 700 A. D„” Dr. Harold S. Colton, leader of the expedition, announced to Science Service. Searching within five miles of Sunset crater, the expedition uncovered prehistoric sites representing three stages of Indian life in the southwest. These are late Basket Maker Indians, and the first and second stages of Pueblo culture, which succeeded the basket making age. Over the sites inhabited by the two older groups is the sinister black blanket. Not one of the thirteen pithouses of the second Pueblo period shows any trace of the ash. “Much good charcoal has been recovered, so the sites later may be dated accurately by the three-ring method of Dr. A. E. Douglas of the University of Arizona,” Dr. Colton said. $35 IS LOOT OF YEGGS Steal Safe From Radiator Shop; Batter It Open.

U. S. FEARS NEW TARIFF ATTACK FROM CANADA ParSiamentr Meeting Expected to Take More Retaliatory Action. Bu Scrtpps-Hoteari Keictpaoer Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. B.—Republican political leaders today are casting anxious eyes toward Ottawa, where the Canadian parliament is being convened in a special session, in which further adverse tariff action against the United States may be taken. Canada already has taken retaliatory action which, it is estimated, will decrease our Canadian trade by $225,000,000 annually. Republican leaders fear that any further retaliatory moves by the Canadian government may affect fall elections adversely. Just before passage of the Haw-ley-Smoot bill, Canada increased rates on eighty-seven items of import- She levied countervailing duties on livestock, meats, flour, many grains, and a large number of dairy and agricultural products. More than 100 items were placed on its free list for Great Britain. Rates on ninety-eight items imported from nations with which it has commercial treaties were reduced. Although today’s special session of parliament was called ostensibly by Premier Bennett for consideration of the unemployment problem, American officials stationed in Canada have informed their chiefs here that further tariff action may be taken. Such report has been received at the department of commerce from Commercial Attache Lynn W. Meekins, stationed at Ottawa. / Today’s session will mark the first time the new conservative government of Canada will have opportunity of acting on the tariff issue, as the other changes were put into effect by the Liberals, in power until the election of July 28. No action to offset the tariff increases ordered by the Liberal government can be expected from the Canadian Conservatives, as one of the main planks in this party’s platform pledged it “to foster and support a plan for greater empire trade, based upon mutual advantage.” ‘IDEAL GIRL’ TO WORK Queen of Philly Exposition to Be Y.

Simple Mountain Folk Highly Cultured, Says World-Famed Pianist

Bu United Press MARION, Va., Sept. B.—Thousands of persons who have worried over the lack of cultural education among southern mountaineers have failed w’holly to recognize the fact that those same mountain whites have provided a distinct and valuable part of the nation's folk song, John Powell, internationally famed pianist, believes. “The so-called smart set has been wasting its pity and energy,” Powell, whose home is in Richmond, said during a visit here. “The uncouth mountain man is more cultured than his water-

tions of his racial strain—is far more cultured than the ordinary person. “Mountain music is the nearest approach to folk music America has. If it be objected that it is not indigenous to America, I have only to say that neither are any of the white races inhabiting this continent. We must preserve this music before it is too late.” Powell believes the mountain people are better off if ignored by the attentions of “uplifting” outsiders.

logged sympathizers. Preservation of his folk songs, corrupted as little as may be by outside influences, is one of this generation's important duties.” While here, Powell spent some time copying words and music of many tunes played for him by mountain musicians. He remarked a superiority of mountain culture while expressing enthusiasm for the native songs. “To understand exactly my meaning, it is necessary to revise the average man’s conception of culture,” Powell explained. “To most people culture means a sort of veneer, acquired by laborious conning of books, which hides a man’s native crudities. Millions believe a cultured man is one who puts on airs and tries to think he’s better than any one esle. • "Instead, culture, in its true sense, is a mingling of the racial tradition and the racial consciousness of a people; handed down for thousands of years, permeating the consciousness of the individual, while at the same time it remains an entity—a whole. “And the man who is thoroughly saturated in the traditions and characteristics of his people—who knows, through the medium of folk song and lore the sufferings, achievements and aspira-

CURTIS DENIES INFLUENCE FOR ALKY_PERMITS Ex-New York Dry Chief Charges Vice-President ‘Made Life Miserable.’ Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Sept, B.—VicePresident Curtis issued today an indignant denial following publication of a copyrighted article in the Washington Post in which Major Maurice Campbell, former New York prohibition director, linked his name with the exertion of official influence in behalf of alcohol withdrawal permits. Curtis, in his statement to the United Press, written personally in long-hand, expressed "amazement” and made general denial that his influence as a senator prior to his election as Vice-President was used for the purpose of “securing alcohol permits as alleged by Major Campbell.” Campbell’s article, the first of a series on prohibition enforcement conditions in the east, said “the Vice-President’s campaign manager in New York, backed by his influence in Washington, made my life miserable with pressure to issue alcohol permits to companies which in my view were dubious.” “I never have used my influence, either directly or indirectly, to have such a permit issued, and if my name was used by any one, it was done without my knowledge or consent,” said Curtis.
