Miss Miller's Meeting

To a gathering of Christians at their First church on Fifth avenue, Miss Floc- ence Miller of the Christian board >t missions, talked of the varied phases or the mission and interested her audience with her usual charm of address and sub iect treatment.
 The rally at the Presbyterian church, L. S. A, was addressed by Mrs. Prentiss Nichols of Philadelphia and her remarks were inspiring and indicative of the Iart ali classes can play in this missionary movement.
 In the Parish house of the Episcopal Church of the Advent, Mrs. J. Lindsey Patton, a returned missionary from Japan, gave a list of forceful argu- ments for missions that were culled from her experiences. both pleasant and un- pleasant, while laboring among the Japa- nese for the welfare of their souls
 The afternoon meeting at the First Methodist church was a service especially prepared for the young women and girls but many of the out of town delegates and older women connected with the i3ir- mingham missionary organizations were present. Mrs Maybelle Sloss Cecil aec- retary of the Young Womens Christi m association, presided over the meeting and the musical feature was the choir composed of students from the Brming ham seminary. A song service and pray CT opened the session and the first speak CT was Miss Layona Gregg, who spent many years in Brazil as a missionary and whose actual contact with the people of that country was developed into a very instructive missionary discourse on Our School in Brazil"
 Mrs. M E. Bliss. also a missionary to the Micronesian Islands, narrated the conversion and subsequent life of an Isl- and girl convert and drew a moral from the story for her girl listeners.
 Miss Daisy Davies, with an address md scripture reading upon The Value of a Life of Purpose" concluded the pro- gramme which was one of the most in formal and effective of the jubilee gath erings.

The Golden Jubilee of Foreign Missions divided yesterday morning into five sep arate meetings which were held at l0:3 o'clock in churches of various denomi- nations in different parts of the city. The

MORTALITY RATE
Census Seeking Information to
Help Cut Down Death Rate
in Children

Washington, Feb. 3.-An interest.
ing statement regarding the estab:
lishment by the census bureau Of 9
provisional birth registration area ir
the United States, for the purpose o.
compiling statistics enabling the sci.
entific study and prevention of infan.
tilee mortality, has beeen submitted
to Census Director Durand by DR.
Cressy L. Wilbur. chief statisticiar
for vital statistics in the census bu.
reau. who is directing the work.
Acting on the principle that vita,
statistics are the foundation Of sci.
entific public-health work, the census
bureau, through DR.. Wilbur, began ir
1908 the collection Of statistics ol
births, with a view OF establishing q
provisional birth registration area
This work has steadily progressed
until at the present time the tenta.
tive area includes the New England
states, and Pennsylvania, Michigan
and the District of Columbia. al
though the latter, which is coexten-
sive with Washington city, whose
laws are made by the direct action
Of congress, does not register all its
births. In fact, 1t is stated, the only
state in which determined effort
has been made to enforce thoroughly
the registration of births, as the law
provides. with prosecution and inflic-
tion of the penalty of the law in de-
l.nquent cases. is Pennsylvania.
Foreign Nations Far Ahead.
The statement notes that it may be
surprising and even humiliating to
the average American citizen to learn
that this country is far behind most
foreign nations in regard to vital
statistics. and that there is not sin
gle state, nor even single city, in
the entire United States which pos
sesses 2 complete registration Of
births Boston claims to have the
best, but only ninety-six per cent
complete, while probably the most
worthless registration Of births
among all. the cities Of the entire
world, It is stated, may be claimed
by Baltimore. Chicago and New Or
leans.
Although foreign countries register
practically 100 per cent Of their
births. it was decided by the census
bureau. when 1t began to establish
the provisional registration area. that
the high standard abroad could not
be maintained in the United States.
In fact, for the state whose vital stat
istics and records are now reported
to the census bureau, the minimum
accuracy accepted is ninety per cent.
The transcripts of the original birth
registration records In the states in
the provisional area have been re-
ceived at the census byreau. and the

was confined almost entirely to New
York city. The eleven Chicago banks
reported a loss of about $96O9,177 in
individual deposits. Thee reserve
banks Of the western and Pacific
states and the New England states
all show losses, but comparatively
small ones.
The unexpected call on January z,
served to show the condition of the
banks at new angle. Not once be-
fore since 1879 have they been called
upon so early in the year. There
were no January calls whatever from
1880 to 1903, and there had been none
since 1907.
Some officials think If the call had
been made, as usual, late in the
month or early in February the mon
ey, II 1t we're withdrawn for dividend
payments, would have found it's way
into the banks again. One peculiar
aspect Of the drop was that the New
York banks alone lost as much as
the combined banks of the country
had gained in November.
| Another feature of the situation
which greatly puzzles the treasury
experts is that, in spite of the enor-
nous slump in deposits, the banks
are still holding higher percentage
of reserve than they were in Novem-
Der. and the total loss in loans and
discounts Of the whole country has
been only $4S,000,000, while there has
been gain in cash of more than
$50 O,00O,o
The banks of the south are about
the only ones showing gains of de-
posits. That is said to be because
they are now being paid for cotton.
Reductions of loans is the rule, how
ever, all over the country, and this is
said necessarily to follow such q
sharo reduction of deposits.
Still with all the reduction the
banks are now holding $S6,000, 900
more in their reserves than is re-
quired by law. On the whole the
showing is pronounced good, but the
disappearance of $15S,000,000 from
the banks of New York is great
puzzle to treasury officials. None of
them cared to express an opinion for
publication.
Boston shows loss in loans and
discounts of $3,625,S12.44, a gain in
cash of $326,647.70, and a loss in in
dividual deposits of $7.440,134.75.
Country banks in New England show
loss Of $2,43s, ,13s.0s in loans and
discounts, loss of $SS9.734.35 in
cash, and Of $S19,949.51 in individual
deposits.
Reserve cities in the eastern states.

loans and discounts of s922,451.64; a
gain in cash Of $2,s63,396.04, and a

Washington, Feb. 3.-Out Of the
claim OF JeIu Yuen, a Chinese boy

ticklish question of personal rights
that may work havoc with the immi-

The immigration officials rejected his
application and the lower courts de-

The entire supreme court of the
United States will be called upon
February 90 to decide whether the
boy shall be accorded bail. the pre-
