I). S, MORTALITY FOR PREMATURE INFANT REDUCED

Hospital Care Directly After Birth Is Found Vital Factor. S'tmre A>ri irf WASHINGTON. Nov. 8 -With special scientific care soon alter birth, or even before, the death rate for those unfortunate infants who •re born beiore their time has been reduced from 42 per cent in the years 1922 to 1926 down to 22 5 per cent in 1930-1933. These figures were presented to the meeting of the Society lor Research in Child Development by Dr. Julius H. Hess of Chicago, and •PP'v to infants born In hospitals. The death rate of premature infants born at home is higher, but that also has been reduced from 53 5 per cent in 1922-26 to 24 5 per cent in 1930-33. One reason lor this higher death rate among the home birth was the chilling of the infant • Iter birth and during transportation to the premature infant station at the hospital. Particular care is taken at the premature infant station to keep the tiny babies at the best temperature. Each baby is placed in a bed which is water-jacketed and heated Individual*. Room Temperature Important. The radiators in the room are equipped with thermostatic valves which control the room temperature with a fair degree of accuracy. 1 Air conditioning is not used, however. because at present the cost of the apparatus is prohibitive for mest hospitals. Dr. Hess said. Human milk is obtained for the little patients from their own mothers or from foster mothers employed by the station for this purpose. The personnel entrusted with the care of the infants is selected with great care. “Nurses assuming these responsi-* billties must be intensely interested in their work." Dr. Hess said. “The nurses must use good judgment to I prevent overfeeding and underfeeding; to a very great extent the size of the individual meat will be de- j pendent upon the physical condition of the infant at the time of feeding. In no other class of patients is it so necessary to change or on short notice to modify pre- , vious orders for diet.” Weight Vital Factor The nurse must also know when and how to apply artificial respiration and other emergency measures. The weight of the infant at birth is important in determining whether it will survive. Dr. Hess found. Os the little mites weighing under 1,000 grams <2.2 pounds) only 15.5 per cent survived. Os those weighing between 1.000 and 1.500 grams (under J pounds) 43.3 per cent survived. Os those between 1.500 and 2.000 grams (4.4 pounds) 75.2 per cent survived. And of those weighing between 2.000 and 2.500 grams (5.5 pounds) as many as 87.2 per cent survived. Previous investigations quoted by Dr. Hess show that each extra week the baby delay# fc:s coming into the world gives him added weight—about four ounces a week during the seventh month, six ounces a week during the eighth, and from eight to twelve ounces a week during the ninth month. Hawaii was a kingdom until a provisional government was set up in 1893. A republican government was then established with Sanford, B. Dole, a missionary's son, as president.

FIGHT IS JUST ' STARTING, SAYS UPTON SINCLAIR

EPIC Champion Far From Downhearted, Pledges New Effort. BY MAX STERN. Timri Special Writer LOS ANGELES. Nov. 8 —l, Upton Sinclair.” it will be written and not “I, Governor of California.” So. the voters of his state have decreed. Battered, broke, maligned and smiling the little muckracker-social-ist, who started out with a Bellamy blueprint fourteen months ago to “end poverty,” today had less bitterness against the aroused majority that stopped him and his “EPIC” marchers to the state capitol’s I threshold than he had of fight. “We are just starting.” he challenged. “Thus election has been only a skirmish and our people are enlisted for the war. We are going to end poverty in California and in : civilization.” Immediately, he said, he would reorganize his movement to put into effect as much of his EPIC plan as possible. He will con- • tinue publishing ' EPIC News.” ask Federal aid for jobless barter | “coops,” stand by to initiate laws and if necessary “recall GovernorElect Frank Merriam within a year.” Convinced that without a political check “were headed straight for Fascism,” he declared ♦ he would hold the Democratic party organization in California, spread his movements “throughout the whole West,” “fight for Roossevelt in 1936.” ' Not Through Fighting For Mr. Sinclair Tuesday's was only the worst of his many defeats. Those who have watched him expand his ‘EPIC” dreams and schemes and bask in nation-wide publicity for months are convinced lie has been having the time of his life. For his hundreds of thousands of followers the returns fell like a blow. “This campaign has left me in debt and shortened my life,” he said, “but that isn’t important. I shan’t starve. I have a certain position. and I can take care of my poverty. I'm thinking of the others." The “others” are something to think of. In their desperation they raised up Sinclair as a Moses to lead them to a promised land of jobs and security. Thousands had worked as volunteers with an almost religious zeal through days and nights for a year. Tens of thousands had turned their almost empty pockets inside out and poured their mites into a movement they believed was fortune’s last turn of the wheel for them. Followers Are Sad As returns began swamping their hopes they milled about in downtown crowds here and in other cities refusing to believe ther eyes and ears until the last. Some were dejected, some rebellious, others simply stunned. At state “EPIC” headquarters a great crowd of men and women stood silently and sadly watching their dreams die. The deflation of the Sinclair boom has been a steady process. In early October, it is believed, Sinclair could have won his fight. His refusal to abide by the Sacramento platform, his remark that “private business is through.” his apparent welcome to the jobless of other states to come here and share his millennium, other utterances alienated the more conservative of Democrats and liberals. Recently he himself admitted that had “talked too much.”

Creel Address Hurl His doom was sealed when the New Deal he espoused was cut adrift from “EPIC” by White House silence and the ringing repudiation of his evangel by George Creel. For five weeks from press, radio, pulpit and other quarters he has been bombarded with terrific fire. Even union labor, that could not support the conservative Frank Merriam, did not follow through for him 100 per cent. Today enlightened anti-Sinclairites of California were glad that their state was not to be singled out for a collectivist | experiment, yet were grateful for j Sinclair's stirring folk demonstration. Its threat to Republican reaction i and misrule, they feel, was timely [ and wholesome, and, they are hoping it will not soon be forgotten. Expressing their views today was Colonel W: H. Neblett, law partner of Senator McAdoo. and one of the first prominent Democrats to bolt the Sinclair movement. Neblett Sounds Warning “Unless there is an immediate j distribution of wealth in the United 1 States. Sinclair movements will con- | tinue to crop out until they reach national proportions,” said Mr. Neblett. “Sinclair’s strong showing was nothing but a protest of a minority in misery. His followers, tired of the inaction of those in power on the important question of giving the workers a reasonable share of industry's profits would have supported any other candidate. His defeat is not the end of the protest against the present economic system.” This thoroughly aroused element is looking to Governor-Elect Merriam and his advisors to make good his pledges to care for the jobless, encourage labor organization, work i for unemployment insurance, rehabilitate the state and the rebel- | Uous masses within it. Such they j feel must be the next chapter in i California’s exciting social drama. ALDERMAN WEARS TIE. . HERALDS PROSPERITY Tiffin, O, Council Member Breaks Custom Rating Back to Years.
