PROVES BIRTH BY

VITAL STATISTICS BILL WILL DO
AWAY WITH SUCH RE-
SORTS IN LAW.

Many members of the local bar are
earnestly supporting he~Drewry vital
satistics bill, and several Of the lead
ers declare that this measure IL an
important to, the law as to public
health.
The probate OF wills. 1t is pointed
out, frequently depends upon proper
record OF births and deaths. and In
heritances can often not be awarded
because of the inability Of persons to
prove their majority or their connec-
ton with any person making Will.
innumerable legal tangles have arisen
because Of the absence OF any record
In Virginia that will show all births
and deaths.
Friends OF the vital statistics bill.
in urging its passage. show that In
Virginia 1t Ia oten easier to get . rec
ord OF the birth OF pedigreed ami
NAL than of q man. They cite .. ia
NOUS case from State. which. like
Virginia had no vital statistics law.
In q suit over the division OF an es-
tate. the issue depended on legal proof
that certain child was born before
a given date. The family all knew
that the child was born In q certain
year, but there was conflicting testi-
mony as to the date. The State had
no record that would show the truth.
Finally. when II seemed as though the
case would be lost because none could
fix the exact date. amember OF the
family recalled that the child had
been born on the same day as a val
liable thoroughbred calf. All the
members of the family agreed on this
point and remembered the coinci-
dence perfectly. II Was a very SIM
pie matter to escure q transcript of
the record of the calls birth. and by
this record the chtld's title vas es-
tablished. The State. II IL argued.
