Miss Steams. "This heart breaking ' mortality is due to three causes Ignorance, indifference and pov erty. You would scarcely believe it if I were to tell you that thousands of moth ers In this country are giving their young babies the water in. which cab bage, potatoes or -carrots have been boiled . that others give them beer and wine when they are mere infants, and only recently I heard of a war bride who thought she had displayed remark ably good judgment by not giving her baby coffee until he was 10 days old yes. 10 days; not 10 months! "The baby Is ;not the only sufferer from lack of proper nourishment. A sur vey of New York city school children dis closed the 'fact that 10,000 were going to school. without their breakfasts.

"When 1 was teaching school In Mil waukee 1 discovered that many of my pupils had no lunch. We instituted a penny lunch a penny for those who had it and those who didn't have it were served just the same. "When I went to school I was taught that the human stomach only held a pint, but 1 saw one of my little starved boys eat five bowls of soup and 10 crackers one day without utopping he was what the scientists would call a saturated so lution of soup, wasn't he? Such a boon did the 'penny lunches provie to the poor children that the city now appropriates $8000 annually for their support. ; "I 'am convinced that much of our ju venile crime comes from lack of nour ishment, a large per cent of our delin quents are abnormal or subnormal. One out of every three men examined for military service were disqualified on ac- count of physical defects and the physi cians say that most of the trouble dated back to childhood.

Creation of four new positions in the bureau of police, addition of three inspectors . and two lleuten anta, and expenditure of $11,200 for equipment, as provided for in the plan of police reorganization "drawn up by Mayor Baker and Chief of Police Jenkins, were sanctioned Monday afternoon by the city coun cil following a meeting In Mayor Baker's office. An ordinance em bodying the changes In the depart-? ment will be Introduced before the council on January 14. Three lieu tenants of inspectors were created, each at a salary of $190 a month. Their duties will be in the nature of supervision over all inspectors. One will be on duty durlne each relief and will check up on the work done by in spectors under him. Chief Jenkins points out that at pres ent no immediate check can be kept on the work of the inspectors. Inspectors John Ooltz and Pat Moloney will no doubt be promoted to the new positions. Provision was made for the creation of the position of drillmaster and marks nanshlp instructor who will teach the personnel of the police department ac curate shooting and drill formation. The office will carry he rank of sergeant of police and will be paid $165 a month. Three additional inspectors In the bureau of police are provided for at a monthly salary of $180 each. Police Of ficer Bob Phillips may be one of the new inspectors. Two lieutenants for the uni form division are also added at a salary of $180 monthly. The positions of nine patrolmen and two sergeants were abolished. These places were created in the budget for 1920 but were never filled. Under provisions of the ordinance the committee of public safety is authorized to make the appointments subject to civil service rules. Mayor Baker stated that all applications for positions must have ' the recommendation of. Chief Jenkins and that it will be useless for office-seekers to apply to the mayor. The largest Item of the $11,200 allowed for equipment Is a high-powered car that will be used, to answer emergency calls and chase criminals over the city. Chief Jenkins and Captain Circle state that it is Impossible to effectively hunt crim inals in low-powered cars. One car will be purchased for the uni form division at St. Johns, and one smalt patrol will be added to the city's equip ment. Eighteen motorcycles will be i bought, 12 of which will replace present machines that have out-lived their use fulness. Commissioner Pier, In charge of the bureau of purchases, will check over immediately all equipment used by the police department with the Idea of "scrapping" machines that f are of no further use. "These changes will increase the . ef ficiency of the department 100 fold," asserted Mayor Bakeh "I have given the whole problem weeks of thought in conjunction with Chief Jenkins. We can now combat the wave of crime that is prevalent over the city with a high degree of efficiency." Chief Jenkins likewise was pleased. i the causes of unrest and when these men are well fed and when they have enough to feed their families, much of the trouble will be over. The women in this count.-y must make a study of foods and of feeding. . We are shipping mil lions of tons of food to Europe and we will continue to do so for years to come : America- must learn how to make the best use of what remains."

With Sorensen Tom Garland, attorney for Joe Mielke, on trial fof Involuntary manslaughter aa a result of the death of 7-year-old Viola Cwmnings after she had been run over by a machine of which he was the driver. drew many comparisons Monday after noon between his client and Sorensen, wealthy lumberman,' who recently es caped a jail sentence for reckless driving. Mielke'sl alleged poverty and soren sen's reputed wealth afforded Garland rich material for sentimental coloring. Mielke was referred to as "poor old Joe," who could not raise $2000 bail and had to stay 'in Jail for months. The, prosecution, however, did a little comparing of Its owp after Garland had rur out of paint, j It was emphasized that Mielke, despitje his reported lack of worldly goods, ould afford to dwn an automobile, an asset which only three of the li Jurors sitting In judg ment could boast of. Further emphasis was put on the fact that Mielke could have easily avoided the fatal accident, since he himself had admitted that he saw the child when she was 100 feet away. Liquor, according to the district attorney's office, had a great deal to do with Mielke's mind be ing muddled, which has been denied by the accused. The case is expected to reach the jtiry about noon following the closing argu ment by Deputy District Attorney Earl Bernard and instructions by Judge Tucker. HIRAM JOHNSON SAYS POLITICIANS OF EAST LI Snobbery of G. 0. P. in Not Asking Him, to Attend Banquet is Found Puzzling. San Francisco, Jan. 6. (I. N. S.) Senator Hiram Johnson is dis tinctly "peeved" because "the big politicians of the East are trying to smother" him. He left here today for Washington to open his campaign and. "kick around a bit," after making the declaration that the Eastern politicians were trying to "blanket" him. This is proved, he says, by the fact that he had not been in vited to the banquet tonight in Chicago in honor of National Chairman Hays of the Republican party. "I confess I am baffled." he said. "They asked General Wood and Gov ernor Lowden to that banquet and did not Invite me. Next week Chairman1 Hays' will be in San Francisco and I have nqt even received an invitation to remain over here in my native state. Is it any wonder I cannot fathom their methods and way?" "I've got to get back there and fight," he continued. "I feel in fine trim-for the fray and I know there is a splendid time ahead." , Senator Johnson will formulate final plans for his campaign in Washington.

" ' i . . - . wou D ASPHYXIATE HIM PRESS ARRAIGNED SOCIAL PROBLEMS Newspapers Are Among Several Agencies Blamed by Devine , for Economic Conditions. All social work is an arraignment of the press In tho opinion of Dr. Edward T. -Devine, who addressed an audience Monday morning at the Central library on the "Spirit of Social Work." He said the social work carried on in connection with children Is an arraign ment of education ; In connection with housing problems, is an arraignment of landlords and those responsible directly for tenement conditions and other liv ing problems ; and that practically , all social work is an arraignment of the press. REFLECTION OH PRESS "It is a reflection upon the press," said Dr. Devine, "that a committee must be appointed to find out the facts about Infant mortality, disease, play grounds," and the other conditions that demand public Investigation. It la Dr. Devine's belief that the press should be mors ac tive and conscientious ' In - ferreting out the real facts relative to social condi tions. "Every form of social work to which I am committed is a stinging criticism of one or more agencles the church, the practice of law, the practice of medicine, the family, the school," continued Dr. Devine. "It Is a criticism of .some in stitution which is designed to deal with the particular problem, but which, for the time being. Is broken down so that we have to invent some device to de velop Borne technique to deal with it." Dr. Devine is associate editor of the Survey Magazine, and Is a prominent authority on social service and economl cal subjects. He arrived in Portland Sunday and will give several lectures during his stay. . REACTION CALLED MENACING Danger to American institutions arls ing from the reactionary movement equals that arising from the revolution ary tactics of the radicals; according to Dr. Devine, who addressed 200 rflembers of the Social Workers' association of Oregon at the Portland Woolen Mills community house Monday night. Devine declared that deportations of radical leaders and suppression of revo lutionary movements would accomplish nothing unless the causes of social and industrial unrest are removed. The sub ject or reconstruction must be ap proached with open mind, the speaker said, and the people of this country must be willing to accept suggestions for bet ter government even from the Russian soviet. He declared that election of rep resentatives to congress from trade and professional groups would have advant ages over the present system of election from geographical districts.
