MILLER WILL SIGN MATERNITY BILL, | IS GENERAL BELICE Big Public Problem Deals With High Death Rate of Mothers and Babies, By Sophie Irene Loeb. ' The Maternity Bill, aimed to reduce @he high death rate of mothers and Babies at child-birth, was passed @nanimously by both Houses of the wecent Legislature and is now before @he Governor. That the Governor will sign this Bill Is generally agreed, since it is a permissive measure, authorizing mu- Bicipal conporationa to appropriate Money for prenatal and maternity fare. The appropriations are entirely within the discretion of the muni- eipal authorities, and they may pre- weribe by whom and under what terms and conditions such moneys @hall be expended. This matter is one of the few so- called “welfare” activities that the (Governor favors, since in his public @peech before the League of Women Noters he sald: “With regard to true welfare in the Protection of maternity there can be but little division of opinion.” Only private agencies have dealt with this big public problem. ‘The Yargest organization of this kind now BONWIT TELLER & CO The Specally Shop of Oppinatons FIFTH AVENUE AT 38™ STREET FOR SATURDAY A Specially Arranged SALE OF PURE SILK SWEATERS FOR WOMEN—MAIN FLOOR at Greatly Reduced Prices {5; Formerly 38.50 Pure silk Slipover Sweaters with V neck, plain sash or braided girdle. navy and gray. ae: Formerly 38.50 Pure silk Tuxedo Sweaters with plain sashes.

Thousands of lives were saved. Prior to the work of the Maternity Centre, 12,657 babies under one year of age died in New York City in 1918; 75 per cent, of these died as the result of conditions arising before birth or at birth, largely preventable The number of stillbirths reported in New York City in 1918 was 6,793, Dr, Irma R. Howard stated to-day: “The need for the care given the ex- pectant mother by the Maternity Centre Association is so tremendously urgent, so immediately vital, that mere words of mine appear wholly inadequate. Action, continued action, continuous effort, are all important, “We hear the ‘future of the race’ | spoken of carefully by some, non- chalantly by others, but we know that It is there to make or mar, and we have only to glance about us to see how very many have been marred by lack of the so essential knowledge in the mother-to-be, all of which is not in any way her fault. She has not, perhaps, been afforded the op- | {i portunity of gaining this understand- ing of herself _and of the life she is harboring. Ours is the privilege of enlightened, constructive teaching and care “We now come to the equally im- portant point of the mother’s re- sponsibility to herself and of ours to her. It is impossible to put too great stress upon this, for one sees only too frequently the pitiable conditions en- gendered by just this lack of inti- mate insight. In very many Instances danger signals which are readily recognizable to the trained eye of nurse or doctor are unappreciable to the average woman and to her fam- 00 In white, pink, purple, 00 THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1921, and boats will leave Bahama islands for ing Joseph Holbach, hotel at South Ozone Park.

Hot Summer, Peacock Guess of A. P. Terhune Prophecy Based on Lightweight Plumage on Famous Birds Caruso and Melba. By Farmer Smith. POMPTON LAKES, N, J., Apr. 22. —Albert Payson Terhw fancier and peacockolo; forecasted the weathe: with a few interruptions for The Evening World, his prediction for the summer of 1921 here to-day. He said: “We are to have an early spring, a long drought, a much hotter summer than last year and an earlier frost. That, in brief, is what the Sunnybank peacocks foretell.” Mr. Terhune stated that he based his forecast upon the fact that his fi us birds Caruso and Melba have Nght weight plumage this sea- 8 which presages that the weather will be warm; also the feathers are dull in color and not brilliant, as when a rainy season is promised Folks hereabout await h interest the famous peacockologist's predic- tions, for last October his forecast tn ,{when four broke from the ranks, The Evening World promised a mild | winter, thus saving Pomptonians from g an excessive winter's sup- ack diamonds.” BONWIT TELLER. & CO.
