St0rk's Freight Neglected
By Physicians of Chicago

Chicago, Oct. IA little matter of 50
cents is the reason why more than a
fourth Of the births in Chicago are not
reported to the county clerk by the at
tending physicians. while all deaths be-
come known. according to w. L. Bo-
dine. superintendent Of compulsory ed
ucation. who spoke before the Social
Economics club yesterday.
The law provides that physicians
shall receive so cents for each birth
they report. Unfortunately, however.
no appropriation has ever been made
for such purpse by the county board.
AS a result little interest is evinced by
local doctors in the amount of luggage
brought into town by the storks. With

no fees in sight they forget to report
Chicago gets a full count on coffins
but not on cradles" declared Mr.. Bo.
dine. The school census enumerators
in May. 1908. found by house to house
canvass. 155, 454 children under four
years of age. Yet the birth records
at the county clerks office for the four
years preceding, showed only 81, 749
births reported. AS q result CHICAGO
is maligned abroad as q race-suicide
town.
DIR. Herman Spalding Of the health
department stated today that this lax
ity on the part Of physicians reporting
births has existed moro or less for tho
past six years"
Mr.. Bodine declared that a reGistra,
ton of all births in the city would rem

the child labor and compulsory educa-

record for public inspection.

that it has been alive" said Mr.. Bo-

doctors Of Chicago are derelict in their
