She knew there was no evading such crosrexaminatl-ons. She had been through it all before. Any new acquaintance demanded some sort of an autobiography; the hu- man thirst for such information in unquenchsble.

Again Ellen shook her heed, shut- ting out the swift unbidden vision of her grandfather in his nhriiry in the stately old elm-shaded house that had been his grandfather's.

"Where do you comp from?" per- sisted the other.

SIGNIFICANT FACTOR.

Suggestion that a smoky 811d dust-laden atmosphere may be "a. significant cause of infant mortal- ity," ls made today in the indus- trial health bulletin of the health division of the department of na- tlonai health at Ottawa.

"A comparison of infant mortal- lty figures, showing the difference between city and rural districts in England showed a Pmpilliderlfllle of nearly 19 in city deaths for every thousand births, as compared wi-th those in other sections," says the bulletin. "The report seated. ‘dif- ferences neither in poverty. bad housing, insufficient feeding, de- fective sanitation, disease. indus- trial occupation of women nor malnutrition of mothers can be re- garded as adequate to explain‘ the excessive and widespread difference between urban and rural rates of infant mortality."

"more seems to be little doubt that the invisible acid and pit left in the atmosphere by impro- per combustion lead chronic catsrrh or more serious respirator? diseases." states the bulletin. "'l'he latter being responsible for a high percentage of infant deaths. In Manchester, the respiratory death rate is twice as great as the aver- age for lhigland and Wales. In America tile lillllelt nntumoflll rates occur. in the smeklest cities. even a higher pneumonia mte fs found on smoky days."
