Infant Death Rate Drops; Mothers Are Given High Praise . Declaring it to be a tribute to the intelligence of the motherhood of the state, Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, pointed out in a statistical report issued this week that infant mortality in Illinois during 1927 was seven perce~t lower than in the year before and that it has declined twenty-five percent since 1920. By actual count the fataHties of children under one year dropped from 11,641 in 1920 to 8,604 in 1927, the latter figure being the lowest in twenty-five years. The deaths of infants per 1,000 births fell from 87.5 in 1920 to 64.4 in 1927, substantially the lowest rate on record for the state. "Both down.:state and Chicago shared honors th the improvement experienced last year in the infant mortality rate," said Dr. Rawlings "In the big city the number of deaths in this age group was 3,819 compared with · 4,007 in 1926 and the rate per 1,00~ births was o2.7 compared with 66.5. Down-state the deaths dropped from 5,289 in 1926 to 4,785 in 1927 and the rate from 71.5 to 65.7. 4 ' Gains like this in the financial world would be hailed as an evidence of remarkable prosperity. These figures indicate a saving of human life for which the intelligence of the modern mother must be given credit." "Medical and sanitary sciences have made possible a greater safety for infant life but only mothers are in a position to apply the knowledge ·that research workers have brought to light. That .infant mortality has declined from 11,041 in 1920 to 8,604 in 1927, a fall of 26 percent, is therefore a glowing tribute to the motherho~ of the state. This improvement means that the business of mothercraft is at least 25 percent more efficient than it was only seven years ago." 567 Lincoln Ave. Winnetka 1633 Orrington Ave. Library Plaza Evanston --------=-=-~ · Business Men's Art Work Will Be Shown Next Week A unique ·exhibition of works of art will be opened at the Art institute on Wednesday, July 25. This wilt be a showing of work by business men who follow art as a hobby, who go out into the great outdoors and paint \\·hatever strikes their fancy just as others get their pleasure in whipping a stream for trout or tramping the woods for game. The org-anization sponsoring the exhibition is called the Associated Amateu: Art club. Its objects are 4'To populanze art study, particularly sketching among business and professional men, b_ ecause art forms an ideal recreation with an intellectual challenge." While many art clubs are doing good service in bringing art more fully into American life, this association was founded to reach the business men by forming new amateur art clubs for them. The present exhibition is expected to unite the existing art chills and to increase their fraternal spirit, at the same time fostering a spirit of friendly rivalry. Samuel Fleisher is honorary president, and Paul L. Olson, secretarytreasurer. Exhibits will be received from seven cities.
