WOeiC FER FIFTY YEARS "tER HAV1N' K-- IT- Child Health Day Child Health day, observed on May 1 by virtue of a proclamation of the president of the United States, should be an occasion fqr everybody to dedicate himself anew to the task of protecting children from disease and injury. "Safeguarding the health of the children is protecting the vitality of the nation," states the presidential proclamation calling attention to the great importance of the child health problem from a national standpoint. Much progress has been done in the United States during dur-ing the past quarter of a century since the establishment of the children's bureau in the department of labor. Child labor legislation, juvenile courts, probation officers, and many other recent developments have followed since that time. In Utah the Parent-Teacher associations have co-operated in the summer round-up program which sets up as a goal the physical examination of every child prior to entrance in school, as well as the inoculation against smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid fever. Periodic examinations of all school children chil-dren are also provided as frequently as possible under the program. Utah county has always been in the front ranks as far as school children's health work is concerned, nearly all school districts employing nurses to keep a close cheGk on the health of the children in times of epidemics as well as other periods. The cause of child health is a worthy one, deserving of the earnest, efforts of all citizens, collectively and individually. Death Abroad Addressing a conference of state health officers in Washington, D. C, Dr. Halbert L. 'Dunn, of the Census Bureau, Bu-reau, made an interesting statement. One third of all persons killed in automobile accidents, he said, are tourists who are far from home. That such a high percentage of crash victims should die in accidents that occur in places distant from their homes seems an odd fact, and one that, perhaps, might well be studied carefully. Are tourists far more liable to become involved in-volved in accidents than people who are driving in their home precinct&i-could this be due to ignorance of speed or traffic regulations ; and, if so, would standardization of laws be of any benefit? If it has not already been made, a survey of the reasons behind such deaths in far places might be helpful in the campaign to cut down the grim auto toll. On Its Own Feet The recovery movement has been in progress now for some four years. It has faltered and stumbled pretty badly, at times, but at last is seems to have settled down to a steady gait; but the thing to remember about it is that, from the very start, it has been based on a policy of heavy government spending. Since the government can't go on spending much longer, it is encouraging to notice that the business summary sum-mary recently made public by the Federal Reserve System shows indications that the recovery movement is beginning to walk alone. Productions of such basic commodities as steel, minerals, lumber, auto?, and cotton are sharply up this spring. Employment and payroll indices are rising faster than the usual seasonal rate. And as publicly-financed work declines, the amount of privately financed work is going up. It looks very much as if the time has come when Uncle Sam can pull in his purse strings without halting the recovery re-covery movement.

I Was Thinking By ELSIE C. CARROLL I was thinking of some of the amazing developments of recept years in the field of medicine. Every day one reads of "modern miracles" performed by scientists. Women are particularly indebted to science for advances in obstetrics. ob-stetrics. For hundreds of years people took the biblical, "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; con-ception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children," to be God's irrevocable curse upon Eve and her daughters through all generations. gener-ations. Even after the use of anaesthetics anaesthet-ics for other purposes had been accepted ac-cepted as a great boon to mankind civilization, women were forbidden the blessing because the use of such in childbirth would be going against God. The history of obstetrics ob-stetrics is intensely interesting, and in instances surprisingly dramatic. dra-matic. The Greeks were the first to offer help to women in childbirth, and though their methods were crude, the midwives were under direction of physicians and they held to standards that were not surpassed for fourteen hundred years. Unfortunately after the fal lof the Roman Empire the knowledge of medicine deteriorated, and under un-der the inflence of Christian theology the-ology all manuscripts containing the teachings of Greek physicians were burned In the monasteries. Women were deprived of any aid from male physicians. As one writer says: "Woman paid for the mythical fall of man and her temptation of him, in the coin of pain and blood and death." As late as the middle of the sixteenth six-teenth century doctors were prohibited pro-hibited from helping women in childbirth. A German doctor, Wertt. defied the law and would put on woman's clothing to attend and study cases of labor. But he was caught and burned to death. Not until the Renaissance when the world gradually emerged from the darkness of ignorance and superstition of the Middle Ages, did improvement come which cut down the enormous death rate from childbirth. People gradually became sanitation-conscious. Men cJoctors were permitted to care for mothers, who were now allowed to go to hospitals for confinement. Woman's Wo-man's debt to such men as Pasteur, Pas-teur, and Semmelweis is immeasurable. immeas-urable. When the agitation in the church against the use of anaesthetics anaes-thetics for women was raelne, a The Vision High By X REPORTER And now, just at a time when a lot of us had about decided that the human race cannot possibly pos-sibly be s.ved from its own stupidity and contrariness, along come Frank Capra, Ronald Col-man, Col-man, Jane Wyatt, et al., and cast a strong ray of doubt on that dismal theory- They do it with a motion picture. pic-ture. A very wonderful motion picture it is. One of the very finest, if not actually the very finest motion picture so far produced. pro-duced. Probably you've already seen it. In "Lost Horizon," under the magic influence of the uper-director uper-director Capra, the little cast of perfectly fine actors transports whole breathless audiences to the land of Heart's Desire. The thing that will amuse you. If you have not yet- seen it, is the complete absorption of blase city audiences in this pic turlzed version of a book that is little more than a modern fairy tale. Frank Capra's masterful directing di-recting made the whole impossible impos-sible story seem as real as watching watch-ing the downtown crowds at night hurrying homeward. - T. M. MO. tf. PAT. OF. .f J clergyman physician by the name of Simpson did much for the cause of science through essays and sermons ser-mons in which he upheld the doctors. doc-tors. In one he pointed out that the Bible justified anaesthetics. "When God took the rib from Adam to form Eve, he caused a deep sleep to come over Adam. Thus God himself was the first to administer anaesthetics." This quibbling was at its height in England during the Victorian period. Finally, when Queen Victoria Vic-toria took chloroform at the birth of one of her children, the case was won for sceince. Simpson was knighted by the queen for the fight he had made. It is said that Sir Walter Scott wrote to him at the time he was knighted, suggesting sug-gesting that a fitting coat of arms would be "a wee naked bairn" and the inscription beneath. be-neath. 'Does you mother know you're out ?' " Today women receive all the benefits of science, and gradually gradual-ly death rates from childbirth are decreasing. It is disconcerting, disconcert-ing, however, to know that our own United States has the next to the highest death rate of twenty-five twenty-five civilized countries. Over 15,-000 15,-000 women in the United States sjtill die every year from childbed child-bed fever and nearly half of these cases are the result of unsanitary conditions. So there is still much to be done to prove the truth of Oliver Wendell Holmes statement of many yers ago that "Puerperal "Puer-peral infection is preventable and will be prevented when civilization rises to the level that it will demand de-mand prevention." - Always there will be something awesome and wonderful connected with the advent of a new human being into the world. Life and death remain the great inscrutable mysteries.

For an instant her eyes opened and looked over his shoulder into the future. She smiled to herself in the darkness. He had said it, she said to herself her-self and slipped gently out of his embrace. "Tomorrow at four at Grace's," she said aloud, and kissed the tips of his fingers gently. Then she ran out of his sight. She was breathless when she ran up the steps and let herself into the hall of the apartment house. Then, she stopped, freshened her lips, smoothed her hair. She glanced anxiously at her wrist-watch. It was 1:30 and she'd have some tall explaining to do if Daphne was at home. Daphne was at home. Daphne, still in her cherry-colored taffeta evening frock, was lying on the lounge with her arms raised and her hands under her head, contemplating con-templating the ceiling as though some lovely line were written there. Jennifer paused uncertainly in the door-way and stalled for an opening line. "I thought you were never coming com-ing home," Daphne said quite unexpectedly. un-expectedly. "Your bridge lasted late .at Helen's. Oh, Jennifer, what do you think?" Jennifer sighed with relief and said she didn't think. She knew frocn the stars in Daphne's eyes, from the flush that laid pink petals on her cheeks, that her role was to listen a role for which she was grateful.
