Making Motherhood Safe. i
i
The first test of strength of the <
new women voters is at hand. Con- 1
gress has carried over fiom last session
a bill which every woman will j
want passed, for it provides a way to i
save America's babes and their moth- <
ets. i
America is not a safe country for ,
babies. Every year 125,000 babies? <
one-tenth of them all?die before thty J
are six weeks old. In 1916. 16,000 .
Amrican women died in childbirth; in ]
1917. 17.000; in 1918. 25,000. The 1
Federal Children's Bureau and th ,
Bureau of the Census made a house- t
to-house canvass in typical sections ]
of the country, and this information 1
is one of the results. Xoitce the figures
do not decrease with the years. [
We don't seem to be learning! r
The greatest waste this extrava- r
gant country is guilty of is waste of \
her children. Thirteen other coun- 1
tries see that their women know how 1
to do a woman's work with safety to
themselves and their babies, but in i
America only twenty-three States f
even trouble to register their births. \
There is a way out. The Sheppard- 1
Towner Bill provides an initial appro 1
priation to be divided proportionately ?

The safest way to guard America
for Americans, if that is what we
.vant to do, is to increase the number
)f Americans. Pure American stock
is not so prolific as it used to be If
America is to remain American despite
the foreign strains pouring into
ler arteries, we must have more
Americans. Three-fifths of all the
>abies born in the United States are
>om in ruial communities, where
\merican families predominate. And
:hc- population of America would do
'ar better than it does if more of the
>abies born were allowed to grow up.
Which means that we must make
>abies safer for mothers, and make
nothers safer for babies; that we
nust buy public health, and buy it
vith money instead of with human
ives. We have been paying: with
ives.
The Sheppard-Towner Bill has been
ndorsed by the National Child Welare
Association, by the League of j
Voraen Voters, and by various smal-1
er organizations. Twenty governors
lave pledged the support of their
states. It is our belief that women
