month, but after that time 1t is to be
paid by the fiscal month, beginning on
the 18th.
The guards get $85 a month. On the
18th they are paid $41.13 and on the
last day Of the month they draw
$43.S7. Naturally when they get their
last pay under the old system, they
will draw $1.34 less than half of their
month s pay. When they draw their
first half under the new system they
fear they will draw only half of $S5,
leaving a shortage in favor of the
state.
The situation affects everybody,
even Warden T. H. B. Jones, who
draws 5000 month for being general
overseer. The first half he draws $96,
so that he will be shy about $4.OO

Physicians Supplying Full Birth
Statistics.

According to DR.. A. C. Holland of
the bureau of vital statistics, phys-
clans over the state are furnishing
complete information with birth GER
tificates, despite the ruling of the su-
preme court in the Boone case that
they are not compelled to furnish the
state information without compensa-
ton.
City physicians have been rendering
the best service, said DR.. Holland, al
though fairly good returns have been
made by those in the country. Pend
ing the final determination of the ap-
plication for a rehearing in the case
in the supreme court, the bureau is
depending on information CLEANED
from outside sources to supply the de-
tails in birth certificates.
Should the supreme court change its
ruling and give the bureau authority,
a special agent of the department will
be put out to aid in gathering infor-
nation and to assure more complete
reports. The last general assembly
gave the authority, but because of the
test being made Of the law, no one has
been employed.
