Nauru Saves Native Babies

From Our Canberra Correspondent Canberra, Sept. 15.

The Baby Clinic experiment at Nauru has proved a great success, according to a report received from the Administrator, Mr. W. A. Newman.

This is borne out by the fact that in 1924 there were 20 deaths of native children under 1 year old out of 57 births, while in 1929 out of 60 births there were only seven deaths.

Incidentally, Mr. Newman mentions that the weather has been very stormy of late. Nine vessels were then drifting round the island, waiting for an opportunity to load phosphate. .
