INFANT DEATH ‘RATE FOR CITY SHOWING DROP
‘Mortalities in First = Six ‘Months Fewer Than in Same Period of ’37-’38.
"The City’s infant mortality rate has declined in the first six months of 1939, compared to the similar period in' the last two years, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health Offieer, announced today. The number of infant deaths from Jan. 1 to June 30 totaled 178, compared to about 200 in the first six months of 1938 and 1937. The possibility that the mortality rate will show a decrease this year compared to the last two years, barring epidemics, was foreseen: by the health officer.
Figures Show Trend
. Health Board figures show that that a total of 405 infants died last year.and 402 in 1937. For the last three years, the death rate was 57.5 deaths per thousand births among infants under one year.

WORLD’S FAIR PRICE CUT FOR WEEK-ENDS
NEW YORK, Aug. 1 (U. P)—A reduction from 75 to 50 cents in Saturday and Sunday admission prices to the World's Fair brought only renewed complaints today from exhibitors and concessionaries who had demanded a straight 50-cent rate all week. The new price was announced last night after a five-hour meeting of the Fair's executive and finance committees, the resignation of George McAneny as chairman of the board of directors of the Fair corporation, and of Perley Boone as director of the Fair's press organization also were announced.

By Institute of Public Opinion RINCETON, N. J, Aug. 1.—Approximately one-sixth of the voters of the nation are either not sure whether the United States ever
has had a third-term President or
think it has, according to a survey

An even larger number—onefourth—either - believe that the Constituion specifically forbids a third term or do not know what the Constitution says, if anything, about third terms. - To test the public's knowledge the Institue asked first: “As far as you know, has any President of the United States ever served a thid term?” Although no President ever has, as many as 3 per cent of voters in the survey stoutly maintained that the country has had a third

Those who think there has been a third term President were asked to name him. Most of them said Theodore Roosevelt; the others were Cleveland, Wilson, Grant, _ Washington, Coolidge, Harrison, Jefferson and Lincoln. A few said: “Isn’t this Franklin Roosevelt’s third term?” and one added: “Seems like he’s been there a long time.” To find how many voters know
that the Constitution says noth- °
ing about a thid term, the Institute asked: “As far as you know, does the Constitution of the United States say that a President cannot serve a third term?” 4%

Most of the > or lack of knowledge about the third term tradition is confined to the lower income levels. Thus, one>third of voters in the lower income group (below $18 per week) either do not know or have the wrong information about the Constitution, and one-fifth think there has been a third term President or do not know. However, even among the upper “income group ($45 a week and over), a surprising amount of ignorance or misinformation exists. Ten per cent of this group do not know whether the Constitution has a provision against third terms, and 7 per cent do not know whether the \counfry has ever had a third term President.

The unpopularity of zero weather, nipped noses, and coal heaving are shown in the rapid increase in winter vacations to the lands of surf and turf. Usually, these are for a month or longer. One of the most popular winter
|trips from here is a three-weeks
motor tour through Loredo, Tex., to the City of Mexico over the new Pan-American Highway, according to Mr. Stoops. Few persons have their telephone service stopped if ‘they are gone but two weeks, the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. said. For those who are to be gone a month or longer the

The phone is in operation for outgoing service but incoming calls are automatically switched to an operator who informs the person calling that the service has been “temporarily disconnected.” This indicates that service will be resumed at some future time. Subscribers who desire to, can leave with the company directions
‘by which they can be reached or
else another phone number where that information can be obtained. Today almost every business, small or large, is giving employees— from the “boss” to the office boy—a vacation. Some firms even have extended their summer vacation policy to include, a winter one. Boy! Where is that road map?
