Work Goes On Just the Same,


That the ruling of the supreme court
to the effect that physicians cannot
be compelled to submit reports Of
births to the state vital statistician,
Notwithstanding the law recently
passed by the Legislature, will not ma
terially handicap the work of that
department, is the opinion of DR.. A. G.
Holland, the newly-appointed state
registrar.
Although there will be few physi-
clans who will take advantage of the
ruling of the higher court to save
themselves the trouble and expense of
sending in reports of births, indica-
tions are that the majority of the ply
sicians of the state, realizing the i'm
portance of the records, will submit
reports" said DR.. Holland yesterday.
During the last two weeks we have
received reports from physicians all
over the state, and in many instances,
in addition to their reports, they in
closed letters, saying that they would
be pleased to assist the department in
the important work. Indications are
that by the last of August We will have
fairly complete record of the births
in Ohio during the month of July"

ported on farms and ranges for the
State of Ohio at the Thirteenth Decen-
NAL Census, April Is, 1910, are con-
tanned in an official statement issued
by Census Director Durand at Wash
ington, d. c. 1t is based on tabular
summaries prepared under the direc-
ton OF DR.. lie Grand Powers, chief
statistician for agriculture in the Bu-
reau of the Census. The figures are
preliminary and subject to slight re-
vision later, when a few other farms,
whose returns, now incomplete, are in
cluded in the final tables. 1t is not
expected that these additions will ma
terially modify the amounts or rates
stated herein. Special attention is
called to the fact that the present
statement relates only to livestock on
farms and ranges and does not give
the figures for the cities and towns of
the state.
