The pneral plan and purpose Wf;
as dangerous to be born in Portland
as In Dunedin, New Zealand. During
the war it was even safer to be a soldier
lb France than a baby In Portland.
Figures show that only 25 ' of tvery
JftOO American soldiers In France lost
their lives, whereas 70 of every 1000
babies born In Portland die the first
year of their lives.
The Neighborhood house in South
TVirHand has been nffrrf tnw ihA luu I
and the VlBltlrjg Nurse association has
offered to finance the clinic to the
extent of the hire of a nurse until
October 1. The Kiwanis club Is desir
ous of aiding In this work and will be
asked to "father" the socioty. The
Junior Red Cross, which has some funds
on hand, will be asked for (2000 to assist
in establishing the work.

High Mortality
Among Babies
Explained
DKATHS in the first months of life
are due chiefly to the unfavorable
conditions surrounding the mother dur
ing the expectant , period conditions
which Include poverty, ignorance, vener
eal disease and lack of medical and
nursing care.
The prenatal and natal causes claim
the highest number of victims a num
ber closely corresponding to the deaths
in the first month of life. If infant
mortality is to be -controlled the work
for that purpose must begin In the pre
natal period and must Include proper
medical and nursing care for the mother
at the time of childbirth.
Second in number are babies who die,
for the most part, in the heat of sum
mer. Deaths from digestive troubles are
increasing, but there is yet need for
widespread education of mothers in the
this organization is to open a free clinic pfeedlng and general hygienic care of
1 for well babies In some one district of
the city and at the end of a year make
a survey fn the district where the clinic
has been In operation and in districts
where there "has been no special effort
Bt tlis conservation of child life. It is
thought by those who know of similar
work In other cities, that the figures
will be so convincing that the establish
ment of additional clinics will be an
easy matter.
, The clinic will be conducted by an
experienced physician assisted by a
trained nurse and volunteer workers.
Tha nurse will also act as a social
worker, in the homes, giving advice re
garding the feeding and the general
.welfare of the child and inducing moth
era to, bring their babies to the clinic
soon after birth.
The 1 desire of ' the society is to
.do Intensive welfare work in an effort
to reduce the Infant mortality, which is
; now alarmingly large. The clinic will
at all ,tlmes seek to show that one of
the most effective methods of combating
infant mortality Is to encourage breast
feeding. At present it is about twice
their babies. Many babies whose deaths
are classed under gastro-intestinal dis
eases actually died from neglect or from
the mother's ignorance of proper care
and feeding. The importance of breast
feeding should be impressed upon the
mother.
The public health nurse offers the so
lution of this problem. "More money
for more nurses" is the plea of every
board engaged in Infant welfare work
the country over.
The diseases of respiratory tract,
bronchitis and pneumonia, reap their
grim harvest largely in the poor, ill
ventilated, crowded homes, where good
food, cleanliness and fresh air are al
most unknown and where even the rudi
ments of decent livfng are too often
beyond the reach of the family's re
sources. Fourth In size is the number who die
from the various epidemic diseases,
such as measles, whooping cough and
so forth. The idea, still too prevalent,
that a child might Just as well have
these diseases and "get them over with"
should be destroyed, and in its place.

should be established the habits of
cleanliness and health which would pro

epidemics. t
Work now being done in the United
States, England and other countries
demonstrates that each of these causes,
particularly the first two, can be greatly
reduced. Any community, in the light
of present day knowledge of health and
preventive methods, can practically de
termine its own infant mortality rate.

Two Hours Each
Day Should B e
in Open Air
IT should be the invariable practice
6f every expectant mother to spend at
leas, two hours of each day in the open
air. and as much more as possible. If
the weather Is pleasant, walking is a
valuable form of exercise, if taken leir
surely and not continued to the point
of weariness. Women who have pre
viously been . accustomed to active out-of-doors
lives should modify their habits
sufficiently to avoid fatiguing and dan
gerous sports ; ' those w-ho have previous
ly led quiet, indoor lives will find it wise
to begin their open air exercises Jvery
moderately. Easy gardening work is
a good form of exercise and diverts the
mind agreeably, but it must be merely
an amusement, not a compelling task.
Pleasant open-air occupations invigor
ate the muscles, stimulate the sweat
glands and other excretory organs,
strengthen and restore the nervous tis
sues, clear the brain, increase the heart
action and send a greater supply of
biood to all parts of the body, thus pro
moting the digestion and assimilation of
j food, renewing the mental and moral
i health, increasing courage and cheerful-
ness, and finally develop character It
j self. There is nothing that takes the
j plac; of outdoor life. If the day be
cold or stormy enough to preclude going
out. a walk may be taken on the porch,
or at least in a room with the windows
wide open, but in some form or other
it should be taken until near the time
of confinement, when it may become
wearisome to the point of real fatigue.
There is a present-day tendency, with
the greatly increased interest in sports
of all sorts, to forget that an expeqtant
mother, while needing exercise, must
conserve her strength and build it up,
r.ot tear it down with violent or ex
hausting forms of activity. Since the
majority of women are busy during part
of the day with their household duties,
and many have more than they can do
comfortably, they may often derive
greater benefit from sitting .quietly out
In the fresh air, if the weather is suit
able, and resting while they sew, read
or chat
One of the less obvious and equally
important, results of this out-of-door life
Is the amount of mental diversion which
it affords. The sights and sounds of
the open often induce a happy change
of view and take the pressure off the
overworked nerves even in the presence
of genuine cause for worry. '
