REPORT MEANT
DEATH RATE
READY
Washeinton, Jan. 9.—The chance
of life of a baby grows appallingly
less as the father's earnings grow
smaller. This is shown in the re
sul s of the investigations of the
Children's Bureau, made public in
its fifth annual report.
Ihe Bureau's studies of in
Ca.it mortality were made among
1J,000 babies in eight America
lities — Johnstown, Pa., Montclajr,
V. J., Manchester, N. H., Brockton,
Mass. Saginaw, Mich., New Bed
ford, Mass., Waterbury, Conn., aoid
»ud Aicron, Ohio. One-fourth of
»11 ibe fathers earned less than
5550 a year; in these families
sverv sixth baby died. Only about
Dae-e'eh't> of the fathers earned
51050 or more; of their babies only
Jiie in sixteen died. The rise of
jrio^s ar.d the dioergaiz&tion of so
:ial aud industrial life with the war
iccentuate the importance of this
?ersisient relation of income to in
:aut mortality.
These studies show that to pro
ride mothers' care and decent homo
londitiong, the fathers muse have
ideioate income. In Manchester,
S*. H., nearly three-fourths of the
mothers whose husbands earned
ess 'ban $450 a Jear were gainful
y employed; only about a tenth
n hen the husban'a wage was $1050
>r over. The babies of mothers
.vho <v»nt out to work died at more
:h?u twice the rate of more fortun
ate children .
