STATE BOARD
 DEMANDS MORE
 BIRTH RETURNS

The State Board of Health will soon take steps to enforce the law relative to registration of births. The board will take all death certificates of children under one year and as- certain if the corresponding birth has been reported. If the birth has not been reported the board will ascer- tain why not.
 The board says that physicians are more negligent than midwives in re- plying to the questions on the blanks for birth returns.
 There is reason to believe that in many cases births are not returned at all.
 The board says in its bulletin:
 "The registration of birth is a mat ter of great importance to the in- dividual and especially to the class of people by whom it is often neg lected. Our statutes provide that a child must go to school until it reach es a certain age, and as employers are forbidden to employ children of school age, it has become the custom hcote Of age from the town registrar.
 "Au European countries are very particular in the matter of birth reg istration, and citizens of this country in succeeding to inheritances abroad, or in the matter of passports, are often required to furnish copies of original certificates of birth. This is a duty the child cannot attend to for himself and the state must, therefore see that it is done for him.
 ''This office has limited supply of return postals for completing birth records, which it will furnish to town clerks on application"

When he waves his arms and rolls up his sleeves and gesticulates so forcefully he is doing it to work up a sweat and when the precipitation begins to come freely then you can look out for a cyclone.

POLICE HUNT BOY
 WHO WALKS HOME
Youngster Left Alone in Milford Walks to Bridgeport, But Gets
 Ride Part Way Back.

Henry Grove, nine years old. is busy today telling the summer resi- dents of Myrtle beach how he walked 12 miles yesterday while the beach population thinking him drowned had sought him far and wide.
 The youngster was taken to Mill ford from the beach by Arthur Downes, a newsdealer. Downes left him alone a few minutes and the boy started to walk back, two miles, to the beach. Losing his way he trudged on until he reached Bridge port. Then he turned back, and when he arrived at Stratford it was growing dark. Here he asked a man for a drink, and for direction to the beach.
 Provided with a nickel by the stranger, he walked back to the fare limit at Washington bridge, and boarded a trolley car that took him back to Holiday house, the home of his aunt, Mrs. E.. F. Stead, where he is visiting.
 Meanwhile the police of Bridge port, and the Stratford and Milford authorities had begun hunting for the child. Henry is resident of Pawtucket. Today he felt no i'll ef- fleets from his arduous exertions.

The new manual, 1t is announced

be ready about January 1.
This announcement comes in re-

original English manual contains
the following:
