There is a quiet little mir 9 In the bureau of child hygiene ot New Tiork flty who may be said to have brought the dead to life. She has kept alive babies who were officially" dead. When she underooK their cara she was given their death certificates and told thev would prob ably die before she reached her desti nation with them. Three years ago the nurse "went to a foundling asylum where the flotsam and jetsam of humanity washes up into the white wards. She akesl to be shown the babies who were classed ae hopeless, whom the doctors had giv en up for dead. . There was a group of them, many only a few hours oid. but all doomed The doctor's chief service for them would be to. sign 'their death certifl cates. Out of this forlorn group she selected the most forlorn. It was ma rasmic, like all the others, only a shade thinner and more puny By arrangement with the managers of the Institution the purse wag allow ed to take the baby with her. But ste was provided with Its death certifl cate, so sure were the physicians that the child would die In her arms. By a seeming miracle the baby lived until the nurse reached the home of a woman who had been chosen to "mother" it. The woman had children of her own, and she knew that moth ering Includes fondling and petting. Her home was under close supervi sion, and she was responsible to the department for Its cleanliness and for her own conduct. The baby lived, and little by little tt iJ," . ' :v'"' A TENEMENT .MADONNA ji-i :.J began to look like a human child. The nurse visited It two and three time a day, and she even left her bed to call on It at night. She was satisfied so far with her experiment in life saving, am sne returned to the Institution, where she repeated her requt o be allowed to take the baby who was nearest to death's door. Again a death certificate was given to ner. Again the baby was put put for "mothering," and again It survived. Gradually the nurse's family grew to 36 marasmlc babies, distributed In va rious homes, where she was a constant vteltor. All the. children were bottle fed, so the task of keeping them alive was doubly hard. But more tnan half ef them were saved, and for three years the nurse hag kept close watch over them. She has shown that often the child whose heritage seems to be death can be saved If It W given the personal and intimate care that only a woman can give who has time to "mother" it Her experiment in life saving has been so successful that the managers of the asylum are about to adopt this plan for the caring of the "death door babies." They will find homos wher the Infante who do not "respond to In stitutional care can be looked after and given a chance, no matter how slight it may be. This is only one of the hundreds of humanitarian services that nurses find' open to them. Cliff and Cave Dwellers. The cliff -dwellers knew nothing of he use of metals. Their knives wore 44 7i ...
