MANY BIRTHS NOT REPORTED
ESTIMATED THAT THEY ARE
10 PER CENT OF WHOLE.
Efforts to Be Made to Prevent Fur
Their Violation of the Laws
Of the District.

Despite the fact that there is law in
the District requiring all births to be re-
ported to the health officer he IS con-
WINGED that this law is not fully compiled
with, and an effort is being made to de-
termine to what extent it is being vio-
lated and to apprehend the physicians or
other responsible persons.

Although Mr.. Toombs has not made
known his findings. It is understood that
ne mas arrived at the conclusion that only
0 per cent of the births in Washington
are reported The health officials con-
slider this state OF affairs decidedly unsat-
isfactory. They realized that not all of
the births were reported, but they had no
idea the violations amounted to 10 per
cent. An effort will be made to trace the
parents of these children. and If possible
to prosecute the persons responsible. In
some cases the physician or nurse In at
tendance are responsible for failure to re-
port the births. according to officials of
the health department..
Ascertained From Death. Reports.
The death reports determine the number
OF violations. Seldom, if ever, does a
death occur in the District without being
reported to the health office. In follow
ing the death reports it has been noticed
that the birth of the infants has never
been reported. In this way a fair est
mate of the violations of law is obtained
as well as a clue to the derelict persons
But II an infant whose birth has not been
reported does not die within four or five
years after Its birth the investigation

Two Kinds of Tuberculosis.

Reports from London state that the 70
suits of the careful investigations and ex-

tuberculosis indicate that there are two
kinds of consumption. When the bacilli
of these diseases were administered to
animals those from one group caused rap
idly fatal general tuberculosis, while the
germs of the other group, though given
in far larger doses, had only slight local
effect, and the disease tended to undergo
a spontaneous cure, but the Investigations
