COMBATTING DEEP ROOTED PREJUDICE.
LADY OXFORD AND MISS "PICKFORD.
ABOVE LONDON IN A SKIP.
SEEING A FILM MADE.
LONDON, May 31st. Lady Oxford and Miss Mary Pickford visited Lota road Power Station, West Brompton, S.W., An important manifesto was reyesterday afternoon. Mr. Anthony cently issued on the subject of child. Asquith was taking there the final mortality in England by the scenes for the film which he is Ladies' Council of the New Health directing, called "Underground.” Society, and was therefore ao ap- peal by women to women.
The Queen, it will be remember ed, declared in a message to the Maternity Mortality Conference, held in Londen in February, that the viewed with grave concern the continued high rate of
Maternal mortality, and felt that a real on- deavour should be made to remove this reproach from our national
life..
This, she trusted, would be achieved through the education of mothers themselves in the need for ante-natal care, through inquiry into the immediate causes of mor. tality in childbirth, and through a wider provision of first-rate medi- cal and midwifery services.
Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Minister of Health, recently sa nounced in the House of Commons the Government's decision to set up two Departmental Committees--one to deal with maternal mortality. and the other to investigate, the subject of midwifery.
He pointed out the melancholy fact that to-day one out of every 230 mothers die in childbirth, and that this has been the case during the last 20 years.
3,000 Mothers Lost Each Year. The manifesto states:
The problem of maternal mor- tality is a matter of the gravest cencern to bealth authorities and to the general public. Since the establishment of the Ministry of Health nine years ago the figures for maternal mortality have shown no improvement.
When they arrived, Mr. Asquith waved to them from the "dizzy heights of the skip of a crane, which had carried him and his camera man to the level of the roof of the power station, over the
canal.
Knots
Down came Mr. Asquith through the air to greet his mother and Miss Pickford, and before many minutes his visitors had entered the big iron skip and were in turn being swung heavenwards of workmen, stared in amazement to see the world's sweetheart" and Lady Oxford in a receptacle normally used for loads of wood or stone or machinery.
