INFANT MORTALITY IN

DODIES FOUND IN WATERWAYS,
A very urgent need in Bangkok, for many reasons, is to organize some means to ascertain the mortality rate, more especially the mortall ty rate of infants, as it is, mach to be feared that there are many of the latter who come by their death frequently from other than natural causes. It is not an infrequent spectacle for those living in Boating houses, or plying daily in boats along the Menam, to see bodies of Infants floating on the surface of the water, Sometimes we bear of dead infants, being found in klangs tied up in clothes or

It is agir a sbor time aga since we reported that the body of so infant was found, in a guany bag floating in this same klong, and we never heard of any favestigations being made into the affair. Das would think that an incident of this kind should- be sufficient to rouse the Police and Detectiva forces into action. In the first place the very fact of consigning the dead body of an in- offence fant to a public waterway is a serious against the law and should not be allowed to go unpunished.
