HOW BIRTH WAS ESTABLISHED
Calls Birthday Was Recorded, Thus
the Age OF the Human Being
Became Known.

DR.. Greasy L. Wilbur, chief statisti
clan OF the bureau OF census In Wash.
ington, tells story taken from court
records which, according to the Wo
mans Home Companion, fairly typifies
the national attitude toward vital sta.
tistics.
Farmer Hadley," he said, "of In.
diana on dying left his valuable farm
in trust to his unthrifty son, to be,
come the property Of his granddaugh.
ter on her twenty-first birthday.
"The girl had been told the date OF
her birth and when her twenty-first
anniversary, as she supposed, came
around, she claimed her inheritance.
But her father refused to surrender
the farm, asserting that she was only
nineteen.
"The dispute was taken into court
The family Bible was appealed to, but
the page for births and deaths was
blank. The father had rendered no re.
port to the town authorities; the fam
lily doctor was dead. Finally neigh
Dor remembered that certain COW,
much priced by the grandfather, had
given birth to calf on the very day
when the girl was born and he could
swear to 1t.
Perhaps, the court opined, the
grandfather had recorded the birth OF
the calf! The old farm book, careful.
ly preserved in the family strong box,
sustained the judges theory; all the
circumstances of the calf's birth were
fully recorded. And thus the birthday
of the human being was at length es.
tablished.
Talk about the registration of
births in the United Statesl" exclaims
DIR. Wilbur, "why, for not much more
than one-half of the total population is
there fairly accurate registration Of
deaths, to say nothing of births, OF
which we have nowhere in the country
reliable or complete information, and
many of the states are so little con-
cerned about human life that they
make no more account of the deaths
OF their citizens than of the trees they
burn to make clearings."

The New York courts have just de-
ctded case brought by resident of
Long Island City, who demanded $500
for the destruction of some trees on
his land by construction company.
The jury returned a verdict for the
full $500, but the justice presiding
trebled the damages, as the New York
laws allowed him to do. The case was
taken up to the appellate court, which
has just decided, unfolding the action
of the trial Judge The verdict, then,
stands for $1,000 instead Of $500. The
value of the wood in the trees is not
the value of the growing trees "A tree
takes the best part of a century to
come into maturity in many cases.
The mere value of the wood cannot
replace the tree. A stack of lumber
containing the same amount of cubic
feet Is as nothing compared with the
beautiful foliage. the grateful shade,
the graceful contour in the landscape.
The next generation will probably
consider that for handsome tree on

the price of the wood It contains.

A finished city attracts people. 1t

locks and other enterprises pay their
way. They even make money. But
more than this, they are a necessary
part of the city, and of course they
should be owned by 1t. If it be sug-
gested that all this is socialistic, the

says: 1T may be, but it is good BUSH
