*‘Our Wives,’’ a new comedy of 
sex which will be the offering of 
the Empire Stock Co. at the Empire 
theatre, Salem, all next week, had a 
very prosperous run at the Cort 
Theatre, Chicago, last winter head- 
ed by Henry Kolker. It is the work 
of Helen Krafft and Frank Mandel. 
The plot concerns an extremely 
successful librettist, who believes 
that he has made his success in life 
through the elimination of sex. He 
doesn’t hate women, he merely 
avoids them, because they suggest 
_ Sex. 
Meanwhile he has been lured by a 
lilting melody that floats frequently 
through his windows from _ the 
rooms of a young composer living 
above him. He determines to send 
for the composer to help him with 
the opera he is working on. The 
composer appears. It is a woman. 
He is insensed at the trick nature 
has played on him. Finally, how- 
ever, he finds that the very clever 
and beautiful young woman has the 
same objection to men that he has 
to women. They agree to smother 
sex, to look upon each other as sex- 
less, call each other by their last 
names and work together. 
The predicaments they get into, 
particularly while his erstwhile

The Raising of Babies. 
There are 300,000 babies die each 
year in the United States, and the 
Children’s Bureau at Washington 
says that one-half of all the deaths 
would not occur ‘‘if individuals and 
communities applied those measures 
of hygiene and sanitation which are 
known to be available.’’ There is 
no question of the correctness of 
this startling estimate, as it has 
been absolutely verified by the gov- 
ernment. Miss Julia C. Lathrop, 
chief of the Children’s Bureau, com- 
ments that ‘‘it was once thought 
that a high infant death rate indi- 
eated a greater degree of vigor in 
the survivors.’’ But this old fash- 
ioned fallacy has been exploded; 
and when the public gives the same 
attention to the conditions  sur- 
rounding the raising of babies as 
then this terribly needless loss of 
has been furnished by the govern- 
ment to hogs and other animal life, 
150,000 babies each year will be 
checked.

his young son, ‘‘I had not known

“Didn’t you, father?’’ Willie an-
