180 THE HEALTH BULLETIN in cotton mills in Manchester, New Hampshire, by the Children's Bureau at Washington, shows that among women working in the factories the baby death rate was 227, while for mothers in the same community who did not work in the mills, it was only 133. The simple truth is that babies born under conditions where mothers toil day after day in the mills, who return to their work soon after their was another factor. Fewer babies died in homes where the water was piped in than in homes where it was carried in by hand. Babies born in crowded houses died much more rapidly than babies in homes less crowded. It was found that babies who slept in a room with their parents only were less likely to die than when they slept in a room with more than two persons. Sleeping in their own separate beds lessened children are born, and whose average earnings amount to only $250 a year, are denied the first rights of humankind—a mother's care. Is it any wonder that they don't live when they are held less cheap than spun cotton or sacrificed for the mother's meager weekly pay envelope? The kind of a home a baby is born in often determines his chance of living. Someone has said that the bathtub is a safe barometer of infant mortality. A recent study of how home conditions affect babies' lives, made also by the Children's Bureau, found that houses having bath-tubs had a baby death rate of 72, whereas houses without these conveniences had a rate of 164. Running water in the home their struggle for existence also. The death rate for those who slept alone was only 55 per cent while it jumped to 108 for those who slept in bed with other persons. Cleanliness in the home was another important factor. Almost twice as many babies died in damp, dirty houses as in clean, dry, airy homes. It is a well known fact that as housing, street paving and sewage facilities improve in a town so steadily does the rate at which babies die decrease in that town. The important lesson to be gotten from the above is that families as well as towns and communities can largely determine their baby death rate.
