,wKth 78,957 in 1939, the rate
having risen from ^.8 to 22.7
for this period. !
The infant mortality rate fell I
from 59.1 to 56,3, but the ma
ternal death rate rose from 5.0
to 5.3. However, this, problem |
is being vigorously attacked by
the Board of Health’s Division*
of Preventive Medicine, of which
Dr. George M. Cooper, Assist
ant State'Health Officer, is the
Director, through the operation
of nearly 2JK) maternity and in
fancy clinics and the establish
ment of two professorships at
the School of Public Health at
the University of North Caro-j
lina and at Duke University. |
Dr. A. W. Makepeace, obstet
rician, and Dr. Robert B. Law
son, pediatrician, already are
helping to train workers.
Tuberculosis Trend Downward
The death rate from tubercu-
H losis in 1940, which was 49.9,
II as compared with 51.3 the pre-
II vious year and 139. S in 1914,
continued its downward trend,
while there was a d^ided de
crease in the number of deal^s
from diarrhea i" and enteritis
among children under two years
old. In 1940 there were 500 of
these infant deaths, compared
with 6^ in 1939, while the rate
in a single year fell from 18.8
to 14.0. In 1914 it was 81.2,
and as late as 1938 it 29.2.
The toll from this infantile dis
ease is heaviest during the sum
mer montha,
“The declines noted above are
encouraging to public h^lth
workers," Dr. Reynolds said.
"They indicate that parents not
only are availing themselves of
information necessary to bring
the prevalence of this disease
down but are putting that in
formation into practice.”
Uon Of Judea

Sidi Barrani, North Africa,
March 6. (ANP) — In one of
the few statements wnich
have been issued by Haile Se
lassie since his return to Eth
iopia is the proud prediction
which he inade here. The
doughty little emperor in a
vigorous speech said:
“1 will tear the statue of
the wolf from Addis Ababa
and will restore the Lion of
Judah. 1 will enter that
town in triumph as Marshal
Badoglio of the Italians did,
but at the head of my arm
ies. Our war drums are
echoing in the hills.*'
