Ma- slova, gives a marvelously moving performance of the erring woman who, more sinned against than sin- ning, falls into the foulest depths of degradation, only to find amid -the wild steppes of snow-covered Siberia a spirityal re-birth. From the ear- lier scenes of the play where Katusha is betrayed to the last great climax, Betty Nansen's art rings strong ‘and true. As Prince Dimitri, Mr. Kelly gives a gamut from love to burning remorse and despair. He ably suggests the re- gret of the man who has betrayed Katusha and then faces her again yers later, when she is a stolid, har- dened woman of the streets in a pris- on dock charged with intent to kill. ‘He is on the jury that settles the is pronounced, he, with noble self-ab- negation follows the dreary train of prisoners to Siberia and 4t last- re- pairs the wrong that he did in his youth, while to Edward Jose falls a deeply sympathetic role of Simonson. | WILMOT GOODWIN'’S THIRD YEAR HERE The song recitals to be given by Wilmot Goedwin at Electric hall un. der the ‘auspices of the Stanley Wom- en’s Relief Corps on Friday and Sat- urday evenings of this week will con- sist of the first cyele of the reper- toire which Mr. Goodwin has arranged for the present taur under the title of “The Power of Song.’ The num- bers by Maurice Warner, violinist, and Lee Cromican, piano, take the place Theatre Go Community Action Remedy for Cruel Waste of Babies’ Lives We Must Rely on Intelligence and Not Mother Instinct in Raising Children, Says Miss , Lat hrep, (Yetta Dorothea Geffen, in New York Tribune.) Why ? Why does death 300,000 babies every year in this country Three hundred thousand—which means approximately one baby out of every eight brought into the world- All these babies, hundreds of thou- sends of them, die under one year of 1 age, their little lives snuffed out al- mose before they have begun, “It's © butchery—simply butchry! What those mothers go tarough—and then to have their babies die!” said one woman recently. Due to Civic Neglect. the cruellest, the most sense- claim t's less waste aside from sheer warfare, said Miss Julia C. Lathrop, chief of I the Children's Bureau of the United ftates Department of Labor at Wash- ington. ‘‘At least half or tnese babies wowld now be living had we as in- divifluals and communities applied these measures of hygiene and sanita- tion which are known ana available. Here is a vast ‘and unmeasured loss of infant life due solely to individual and civie neglect. “It was once thought tnat high in- Tant death rate indicated a greater Gegree of vigor in the survivors— that the rate of mortality among chil- dren who had not reached the first dispensation of nature Intended to prevent children with weak constitu- tions from becoming ° too plentiful. Now it is agreed that the conditions wihich destroy so many of the youngest lives of the community must alse re- | sult in erippling and maiming many unfavorably entire ‘com- others, and must react vpon the health of the munity. “Since the beginning of civilization the scientific care of children has been neglected. Much energy has been ex- pended on pig culture and the cabbage culture, but child culture has heen left to an instinct unsupplemented by scientific training and careful thought. Intelligence' Supersicdes Mother In- stinct. ‘““Motherhood is the one pursuit, very complicated, very demanding, upon which® we have presumed en- tirely too much, relyving upen the mother instinct instead of bringing in- telligence to bear in the raising of children. This tends to explain the death of many children, the ill health 2f more and the disruption of house- holds. “Sir Arthur Newsholme, the great English statistican, has said that “in- fant mortality is the most sensitive index we peossess of social weifare. If babies were well born and well cared for their mortality would be negligi- ble. Work of Bureau. Therefore, because of this great and unnecessary slaughtering or the inno- cents, the buréau chose for the first field inquiry the subject of infant mortality, its work, as it is, restricted to “investigating and reporting upon all matters pertaining to the welfare of children and child life.”. Thus the tureau is a center of information useful to all the children of Ameriea, to ascertain and to popularize just- standards for their life and develop- ment. The bureau has no power to do administrative work, nor can it make regylations concerning children or create institutions for them. “But does not this lack of power of the second cycle of songs. Mr. Goodwin’s program is built up of beautiful old songs made familiar by vears of intimate knowledge. Such | favorites as “The Heart Bowed Down,” ‘“Forgotten” and ‘Love Abid- ing,” creaté a mood in which the re- ceptivity of the audience is stimulated through appeal to its heart. Because of the understanding thus established between the artist and his audience, the way is prepared for full enjoyv- ment of the second group. In this the vocal gems, to which Bantock has } given the title “Jester Songs.” lead up | from Massenets Herodiade. After the aria the initial mood of the au- dience is restored by the { “Dedication” by Franz, which is used 'as if it were an encore, though no encares, as such, are given in the pro- gram, The final group,begins with the charming “Open ~Thy Lattice” and reaches its climax through well chosen songs in the magnificently inspiring “Sword of Ferrara,’ by which the great power of Wilmet Goodwin's voice finds glorious opportunity. This will be the third year- that these artists have been brought to New Britain by the Natipnal Societv for Broader Education of Néw York to give concerts under the auspices of the Women’s Relief Corps.

Miss Lathrop smiled. “Look at Jobnstown,” was her quiet comment. And while her secretary went io ®earch of records of “Johnstown be- fore and after” she went on to explain tkat if the government can “investi- gate and report” uppn infant mor- tality the conscience and power of local communities can pe depénded i upon for necessary action. “Frequently they do not seec the conditions that exist around them, fhe bureau is undertaking to point out these conditions. The rest may Le left to them, for if people under- stand their situation they will never tolerate a bad one.” Miss Lathrop picked up a recently completed pamphlet on infant mor- | tality prepared by Miss Emmu Duke, of the bureau, one of the. women in- vestigators who made a field atudy of 1he infant mortality conditions in Johnstown, Penn. Remedied by Community Action, “The report shows a coincidence of vnderpaid fathers, overworked and ignorant mothers, and those hazards to the life of the offspring which in- dividual parents cannot avoid or con- irol because they must be remedied ky community aetion. All this points toward the imperative need of ascer- taining a standard of life for the American family, a standard which must rest upom such betterment of cenditions of work and pay as will permit parents to safeguard infants within the household. “Civic action can remedy defective sewerage and scavehger systems and dirty unpaved strets which are in- strumental in creating conditions that endanger the lives of infants. The purity of the water, the milk and the food supply, the cleanliness of streets and alleys, the disposal of waste—all | anniversary of their birth was a wise these are community Children Not as Independent as G lings. *“It ig an affront to civilization,” con- tinued Miss Lathrop, speaking of tac relation of infant mortality to poverty —*“the vast number of earning moth- ers who work for a family and at the thin the control of the i | 1 the care and nurture which we all know they demand. The human being at birth is the most helpless of all creatures. A gosling is able to go in search of its own food as soon as it is born, but nature doesn’'t turn out hu- man beings in any such independent condition. . “However, we are not trying to en- force anybody to do anything. These reports—there are several in prepara- | | tion besides the recently completed one of Johnstown—are perfectly hon- est and uncolored, set forth in such terms as can be read by any one. The remedy is a citizen’s concern, Not a munity, but one in which all are in- terested and responsible.” The old patriarchal household is gone. Tagore prays in his ‘Gitanjali’ that “our nar- row domestic walls may be torn down.’ Civilization demands that the isola- tion of the individual family . be broken down, te give place to com- ity for each individual family. “The New York state department of health has adopted for its legend these words: ‘Public health is purchasable: within natural limitations a commu- nity can determine its own death rate.’ Is not this statement a chailende tc the patriotism of all public spirited citizens ?” Birth Registration Important, According to Miss Lathrop the thing that hampers the work of the bureau more than anything else is the imper- fection of birth registration in this country, While in other countries the proper recording' of births has long been ,established, in the United States it is known that only the New England states, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Kew York city and Washington have zens, *“To study infant mortality it is necessary to know how many babies 1 have been born and how many have died before they were one year old. Moreover, as a working expedient birth registration is coming to be gdrded as indispensable in the eradi- ‘cation of three great evils whicn af- fect the children of the country—the ! reduction of infant mortality, the | preservation of the child’s right to education and the abolishing of child labor. In serving all three of these ends birth registration is an indis- pensable aid. It ig a protection for children at school and at work, since the enforcement of child labor laws and compulsory education laws should dovetail, and both must rest on a basis of birth registration.” i i Breakfast Fruit Cereal Sugar and Cream Asparagus Omelet Broiled Potatoes Thin Corn Bread Coffec Lunch Shad Roe Saute i Créam Sauce Pop_ Overs ,, Coeoa Dinner Rice and Chicken Soup Broiled Steak N Sauce Bearnalse Mashed Potatoes Creamed Onions Watercress g French Dressing Wafers Cheese Rhubarb Shoert Cake Coffee Asparagus Omelet—Beat five egsgs separately, add two tablespoonfuls of thick cream to the yolks with a table- conful of butter, salt arid pepper to taste.

Millmars, stand out prominently | among the attractions at Keeney's this weck. These two specialties to which scant attention was paid in the preliminary announcements from the } booking agents are actually better than the feature numbers and they Mhe this week’s biggest applause get- | ters. In fact they receive more at- tention from the Keeney patrons than has been paid to any act play- ing here in a long time and theater- goers who have attended any of the performances, arc waxing enthusias- tic over them. . { Root and White appear on the. bill under the simpl€ designation of sing- ors and dancers. ¥They do’some sifg- ing of ‘meritorious qualities, but “.} is their dancing that makes ‘them prime favorites. The boys are sofl shoe daricers and their work fur- nishes a revelation even to old-time minstrel followers, who found their full in this style of entertainment when it was at the zenith of its pop- | ularity years ago. They work rapidly, keeping excellent time and they in- | troduce. many steps that are original and extremely difficult of accomplish- | ment. It is a first class dancing spe- | cialty and in itself is well worth the | price which Keeney’s charges. ! Sharing ti#e honors with this team are the Millmars, a pair of acrobatic performers. They offer a very neat act, introducing feats that are new and entirely different from anything ever seen here. They do them clever- 1y too, exhibiting grace and style, and using no “extras” to make an impres- sion. They don’t have to for their work is of an exceptionally high standard and is greatly appreciated by the audience. Gladys Hopetown and company in The Inspector,” a dramatic playlet, are also finding favor. Their sketch is cleverly written and is replete with dramatic situations that afford big opportunities to Miss Hopetown and her associate. The company takes ad- vantage of every chance which the author has provided and the results are most gratifying. Miss Hopetown is a capable yvoung woman and her worle is splendid. . Jack Darroll’'s western tabloid “At The Ranch” is serving as the head-' liner. Tt is a flimsy sketch but it af- | fords chances for the members of His | company to introduce a series of sne- ! ® } % cialties, @pme of which are very geod.

I like people who do whatever they are doing, whether it's playing game, working for a causec, planting a garden, or welcoming a guest, h ily, with the whole heart, people who having pnut their hands to the plow go ahead and plough and don’t keep stopping to wonder whether thé'y ought not to be doing something else.
