MORTALITY RATF, HEAVY
'"From 40 to 60 per cent-of the chil
dren born in the poorer sections of the
big cities die before they are a year
old," said. 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. One of
the officials said : "We have Belgium

and he spoke truly. Funds have been ap

these children breakfast when they ar

"No child can study wlien he has an

"When 1 was teaching school In Mil

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,

the scientists would call a saturated so

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

COUNCIL AGREES
ON BETTERMENTS
FOR POLICE FORCE
Ordinance Creating New Posi
tions and Adding to Equipment
to Be Introduced January 14.
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."
Miss Stearns will address the Port
land Federation of Women's Organiza
tions at ita meeting Saturday at 2 p. m.
in the assjmbly room of the Hotel Port
land, on "The Bitter Cry of the Chil
dren." The meeting Is open to the
public.

Attorney Garland ' f
Compares Mielke :.
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.

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.
