.CHILD LIVES SAVED BY AMERICAN RELIEF, SAY STRICKEN FIGURES

l Telling statistics showing that Herbert Hoover, through the American Relief Administration European Chll- .' dren's fund of which he is chairman, "is actually saving the child life of ; Eastern and Central European countries have Just been received from the J cities of Lodz and Krakow in Poland. In the city of Krakow the vital statistics show for the year ending July ; 1. 1919, 3.343 births and 1,698 deaths, of .children" of 15 years and under. The following year during, which the child- - feeding' stations 'were in operation there-and the children and nursing mothers- were receiving the supplementary American meal provided by ! the American Relief Administration the number of births Increased' to ; 4,684 but instead of a corresponding v. increase in th enumber of deaths of children there was an actual decrease, the child mortality . under 15 years "having dropped, to 1J381; '

In Lodz the figures are less striking ..but still significant. In the 10 months preceding the beginning of the child-

feeding, tinder American auspices on May 1, 1920, the number of births totalled 4,515 and the - number of deaths of children of 15 and under, 2.593. For the 10 months from July 1. 1919 to May 1, 1920, the number of births had more than doubled but the number of child deaths had not. The actual figures for that period are births 9,883, and the deaths, 4.109. Had the ratio of births to child deaths that prevailed the corresponding 10 months of the previous year been maintained for the 10 months ending In May, 1920 the number of deaths would have been not 4,189, but 5,432. Lest any one should think from the above that the need of the relief work among the children of Poland has passed and that that country is now on, a healthy footing a brief Study of the following statistics furnished by the health department of the city of Warsaw will demonstrate the fallacy of the conclusion: " 4 - v In 1914 the year of the outbreak of the war the deaths of children under one year of age for the city of Warsaw numbered 1,640. In 1919-the number had risen to 2,809, an increase of more than 70 percent. In the same

period the' number of children of 10 years and under dying from tuberculosis had Increased, from 480 to 1,001, an increase of 125. percent. Last winter the American Relief Administration fed upwards of 1,300,000 children in Poland alone' and this year the need is as great if not greater, for a large portion of the food supplies upon which the Poles had depended to carry them through the winter was destroyed during the invasion of the Bolshevik! who wasted one of the most fertile sections of the country just as the crops were in the process of harvesting. , Mr. Hoover has Issued a public appeal for runds to carry on the childfeeding work in Poland and adjoining countries. He estimates that $23,000,-

000 will b erequired for this purpose and if that amout is not forthcoming the American Relief Administration will be forced to abandon many of its kitchens and leave the destitute and undernourished children to their fate.

COLLEGE STUDENTS LOSE IN INTELLIGENCE CHANCELLOR DECLARES

Finland has 8,720 miles of telegraph and 2,891 miles of telephone lines, and' one radio station, with a BOO-mile radius. ,

(By Awoclated Press ' ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Dec. 10. The average intelligence of college students is lower than that which nrevailed years ago, according to the annual report of Dr. Frederick A. Hall, chancellor of Washington university. This conclusion, the report explains, .iniUao iflth that nf nnthnriHps in

I lUIUVlUCO TT . v. " other educational institutions, as as

certained througn corresponaence. xne number of college students has been increasing steadily, the report states. "If the present growth of numbers is indicative of what may be expected in the near future," continues the report, "the colleges will have to watch carefully in order to prevent turning out a lower type of graduate than that which has characterized colleges hitherto. "It is only fair to say that, so far as

I can learn from the faculty, it is thought that the work of -the student body has not this year been as good es that of previous years; that contrary to the peoples expectations that the young would be more purposeful and earnest by reason of war experience, they seem to be less inclined to serious labor, and that an unusual proportion of students had to be dropped because of the inferior quality of their work." The report asserts that until two years ago the proportional increase by

women in the college section of the

university was gaming notaoiy in tne proportional increase in the number of men, but that in the last two years he proportional increase by men hfls been greater. Men', the report adds, usually are reluctant to continue in classes in which they are outnumbered by women.
