To-night's Lecture:

Men as well as women will find it of much interest

(By Baby Week Committee.)

A large attendance of men as well as women is hoped for at to-night's lecture by Prof. C.E.A. Winslow, of Yale, in Odd Fellows' hall, West street. His subject, ``Child Welfare, '' is of interest to hundreds in this city and the lecture will be free to the public. It is a part of the Baby Week campaign and Mrs. W.E.D. Scott, Secretary of the Connecticut Research association, will illustrate Prof. Winslow's talk. An attractive musical and literary program will precede the lecture. First Selectman Stephen B. Treadwell will introduce Prof. Winslow to to-night's audience.

Various cities are using many ways to further the national project that aims to produce better babies. A Philadelphia merchant says: ``The business of being a baby in Philadelphia is more dangerous, in percentage of probability of death, than the business of being a soldier in the European war.

``Now, this baby saving week is not primarily planned to ward off the anguish of loss, but to consider Baby as an economic item of wealth to the community.

``And not only plan that babies already here shall be conserved, but that as they troop along they be not alone safer babies, but more healthy ones.''

Fifty dollars in gold is to be given by the Gramercy Neighborhood association of New York city to the mother who can best answer in writing ten questions relative to the care and feeding of children. The questions will be put to the mothers ar a series of meetings beginning this evening, with others to-morrow and Friday, in the auditorium of public school 64, at Avenue B and Ninth street. The mothers will be supplied with a list of the questions, and each of them will also be read publicly and a cartoon show suggesting the answer. There will be many features at the meetings, music, educational moving pictures and addresses. This is the Gramercy association's contribution to Baby Week. It will hold meetings in various parts of the neighborhood each week of the month. The $50 prize will be awarded in April.

Danbury has responded nobly thus far in the city's first campaign. Sotre keepers make fine window displays, school children have written essays which it is expected will be published later; students contributed artistic posters and clubs and other organizations with clergy and laymen have manifested commendable co-operation.

The three free talks on Saturday from 2:30 to 4:30 in St. James' parish house promise to be of great value to mothers.
