How. ever, it remains a tremendous problem still involving in actual t1gures the deaths of 1,191 mothers in that one rear, writes the Ottawa Journal in this editorial. Child birth causes more deaths among white women trom 15 to 45 years of age than any other cause except tuberculosis, and the greater number ot these deaths is declared to be preventable. A recent survey of maternal mor- mm by the Manitoba Medical Society over 3 tire, year period, showed the continued necessity ot education ot mothers in both urban and rural areas, as to the need ot medical supervision. Prenatal care was recognized as the one means of reducing deaths from toxemia, which accounted tor 25% of the total ot 393 deaths. This group is entirely preventable sod could be eliminated by the supervision of the physician in co-operation with the mother. Only an insignificant per- centage of the mothers dying from toxemia were actually under medical care. Wives ot Bridlington, England, town councillors do not like to sit in the Council Chamber with their husbands, although a special resolution ot the council has conceded them this privi- lege, instead ot sitting in the piblic gallery as has been their custom. At the monthly meeting of the coun- cil after the passing of the resolution only two wives sat with their hus- bands, though seats were provided tor " One ot the women who did not attend told a reporter she would rath- " sit in the public gallery, " she would he too conspicuous and would feel embarrassed sitting on the Boor of the Council Chamber. "London is not kept in order by the number of police but by good win."-- George Lansbury. Septicaemia or blood poisoning ac- counted for approximately one-third of the maternal mortality in Manitoba during this period. Adequate care, both medical and nursing, at the time ot the birth ot the baby could greatly reduce this number. These (acts are an indication of the need still existing tor additional pro- vison of adequate prenatal, neonatal and post-natal care for mother and baby and the realization on the part ot the parents of the need tor that care. tree on request to Canadian mothers and fathers a series ot nine monthly letters published in English pr in French with simple tseientific informa- tion for the mother, on the care ot her- self before the birth of the baby.

Vera was accustomed to giving up. 8119 was too little to distinguish between a playmate and her mother. She was being conditioned into a "give up attitude. The other little pest was the exact opposite. Probably her inditterent or else too-kind mother never creased her at all. Or perhaps she had to fight her way with older brothers and sisters, Look at it as you will. I think there is nourishment for thought here. Will a child be able to elbow his way through the world it he has been trained always to turn the oth. er cheek? Will is one thing and obedience another. We need both. We ought to be able to strlke n balance New York.--Clotheg make the man, according to the copybook, and no one knows it any better than the man, according to Miss Theresa Lewis. The conviction that every crease and but- ton is in its proper place helps out a man's ego just as much as a new bon- net helps out a woman's - which makes it mice tor her, Mis Lewis ad- mitted, as she is probably? the only fe- male valet in Manhattan. George and May Meeks were mar- ried twice in 30 years and there was no intervening divorce. Thirty years ago they were wedded in Milan, Mo., after relatives assured Mrs. Meeks her tirtrt husband, William Stuart, was dead. Stuart later reap peared and the marital tangle was never straightened. A few years ago Stuart died and the Meeks were ad- vised to marry again so Mm. leeks would be assured ot her husband’s es. tate. It is her pleasant southern voice which says "valet at your service," when you are connected with that de- partment at the New York Hotel em- ploying her, though she frequently is startled at the service demanded. "At half-past eight to-day a man telephoned me that he was sitting on the edge ot his bed with his only suit a mass ot wrinkles He had a date at nine-and he had his pressed suit, too. His comment was the same old story: Tm here without my wife, and I was certainly glad to hear your voice'." There is a splendid opening for other women to get into this profession, Miss Lewis is convinced.

Characterized by eminent statesmen in the Old Country as on. tario’s greatest gift to the world, the movement has extended to practically every civilized country in the world, until this year a great international convention is being held in the heart of Europe. The success ot the Women's Insti- tute, which was organized tor and which continues to be practically con- fined to rural women, may be said to be due to the great spirit of common interest and common good it has en- gendered. It is primarily a medium of exchange, an opportunity tor rural women to benettt by the experience of others, to ‘share household hints and knowledge and to give women whose lives are often necessarily very restricted to their homes an oppor- tunity to develop their abilities of limiersllip, promoting study and read- ing, getting up papers and speaking in public. Because ot the education " opens up before the rural woman, the Women's Institute has been called the university ot the farm woman. From this worthy task of sisterhood, of sharing and helping, the Wumen's Institute spread its activities to the community and later through the weight ot the opinion they command as a provincial, national and interna- tonal organization, to the world at large. The community activities of the branches are legion. Many have built community halls, where the resi- dents ot the community and particular- ly the young people can enjoy social pastimes. Practically all branches take a keen interest in the rural school, helpng the teacher whenever the need arises, providing first aid kits tor the scholars and introducing wherever possible everything (or the physical well-being ot the children, medical inspection, hot lunches, ete. Extending a helping hand to homes and families in times of sickness, fire, distress, etc., is always foremost in the minds and hearts of those closest and most influential in the Women's Insti- tute. In countless little ways the in- dividual branches bring sunshine and cheer to those in need. A bright instance ot the many little acts ot neighborliness enacted by the Women's Institute without discrimina- tion ot any sort as to class, religion, etc., was related by the recent speak- er, Mrs. Stephens, who told about a little rural branch near Manitowaning, on Manitoulin Island, which has a standing contract with a grocer to send a little box ot good things to every perBon--man, woman or child-- who may be ill in the community. In the very early days ot the Wo. men's Institute movement the Govern. ment recognized what a. boon had been created tor the often lonely, hard. working rural woman, upon whose health, strength and welfare in such a very real measure rests much of the country‘s true prosperity. Through their cooperation, the Department of Agriculture provides the branches with a very tine series of short courses, training in food values, In dressmaking, home nursing, etc. Through the short courses many of the young girls become interested in Wo. men's Institute work and at the same time fit themselves for their task as the tut-ire mistresses of the farm borne. Returning to the United States after having traveled more than 20,- 000 miles in the northren part of South America, in order to measure the earth's magnetism tor the Car- negie Institution of Washington, Earl Hanson is convinced that our ideas of ancestral cavemen must be little short of libelous. He bases his conclusions on the life and manhood of the Indians that he met. The muleteerg who served him in Peru "travel week in and week out, year after year, Bummer and Winter, rainy season and dry, transporting the mails and commercial shipments. Barefooted they walk behind their mules, the soles of their feet being as tough as old automobile tires. AV ways inadequately elothed, their thin shirts and pouches sodden with rain or frozen stiff in the cold of the high. er passes. they are always cheerful and always patient and gentle with their beasts." Possibly this attitude toward "A year ago I was eaten up beasts of burden (llamas end mules) rheumatism, and was far too f may explain why modern man has weighed 154 lbs. and, as my heh not given a single domestic animal only 5 feet 2 inches.

"lt is re- markable that in Ontario fatalities in the water are now much greater than those on the road. The example set by Australia in rescuing the drowning suggests that something of the same kind might be attempted here. With their long coastline, Austra- lians are keen swimmers, but on the safest beach there is danger for the beginner. Twenty-five years ago the voluntary life-saving movement be- Kan. Since then it is estimated that 20,000 lives have been saved from drowning. There are 14,000 of these young sea-fighters belonging to 140 clubs who now save on an average annually about 2,000 lives. There are lifesaving clubs in every state of the Commonwealth, writes Alan Moyle V1 The London Express. Membership is voluntary. Each mem- ber is scl'ooled to master the roughest surf. He is taught -s a unit of a life-saving team how to reach a drowning man in the quickest way possible, handle him in the water, bring him to shore safely, revive him. The teams are trained to miltary pre- cision. They march in platoon forma- tion to parade on the beaches. They give displays frequently. They wear a distinctive bathing dress uniform. Perfect discipline is the basis, of their organization. The iife-saver takes his hobby seriously. He contracts to go _ 1 beach duty in a definite shift, week after week. Shifts: start in the early morning and continue throughout the day-until 11 p.m. in the summer. On the main Australian beaches they bathe at night under arc-lights. The Australian life-savers are described as physically the finest organization of youth in the world. "A -year ago I was eaten up with rheumatism, and was tar too tat. I weighed 154 lbs. and, as my height is only 5 feet 2 inches. you can Judge my appearance.

In Ontario instruction in life- saving, including resuscitation, is aomewhat sporadic. Several organiza- tions offer it as part of their regular programs. The Red Cross has done good work in this direction. The Y.M. C.A. has issued a valuable book, err. titled "Swimming, Diving and Life- saving," the price of whirl is only 25 cents. But the persistence of drowning fatalities and the general ignorance of correct methcds of resus- citation suggests the necessity of uni- fied efforts and a special organization such as that in Australia."

G. Bruxer, in Poetry Year Book Britain's Bird Census Widens Its Scope A bird census of the British Isles, l .unched six years ago at Oxford, has steadily grown in importance. Those conducting it have surveyai the rook- eries, roosts, and economic status of more than 60,000 crows over a Urge area; have worked trapping stations at which more than 3,000 birds have been marked with rings and more than 600 recaptured; have carried out homing experiments and have invati- gated changes in bird population on Midland farms. Experienced observ- ers sent out from England have cu- ried on similar work in a rumber of other countries. The trust, according to the plan. is to take over any funds to establish and su1 port an institute ot ornithol- ogy at Oxford. The latter will be under the university's administration and will carry cut organized research regarding the numbers, distribution, food, habits, and migrations of British birds. It will form I clearing house and directive centre for all British bird-watchers. Co-ordination has been assured, and an experimental urn-of more than seventy acres is now at the disposal of the trust. The census has been aided by grants from the Empire Marketing oBerd, the Ministry of Agriculture, and pri- vate sources. Now, however, when the work has become of wide twienti6e importance, the Oxford University Research in Economic Ornithology is faced with the cessation of It: govern- ment grant, and this emergency has led representatives of all the import- ant elements in British field ornithol- ogy to unite in forming a British trust for ornithology which may not as a perpetual trustee and coordinating body.
