.d0ULD RECORD BIRTHS
Of ALL BABIES
MORE IMPORTANT THAN REGIS.
TRATION OF MARRIAGES, SAYS
DIR. LEWIS MERRIAM.
Federal Children's Bureau Official
speaks At National Conference
Of Charities,

Seattle, WASH, July SIT is more
important for mothers to see that the
births of their babies are registered
than it is ia see that their own mar
riage is recorded, according to DR..
Lewis Merriam of the Federal Child
rens Bureau.
DR.. Merriam in an address on Audit
ing the Birth Account" before the
National Conference of Charities and
Correction here this morning said,
every mother should specifically ask
the person in attendance upon her
whether the baby has been properly
registered. The birth is just as sacred
as the marriage, and the reason for
recording the marriage are, if any
thing, of lesser Importance than the
reasons for recording the birth. The
community must therefore demand
that persons who are in attendance
at births shall make reports. and if
they fail to do SO that they be pros
ecuted." DR.. Merriam outlined a CO.
operative movement which the Child
ran's Bureau is about to enter into
with the women's organizations
throughout the country, in which
committees of women in selected
towns and districts will get the names
of number of babies for each men,
Der, go to the registration office, see
II they are recorded, and report the
results to the Bureau in Washing
ton. 1t is expected that this wide
spread in terest and responsibility will
have the effect OF securing the regis
tration of practically all babies born
in, these communities. Such COM
plete registration is. necessary, in the
Judgment of the Childrens Bureau,
that there may be akscientific basis
for all efforts at social betterment: to
enable health authorities to bring to
the family of the baby knowledge
Of hygiene and sanitation which will
preserve the health of the infant; to
give to the state a record of the aye
Of it's children, SO that it can enforce
it's laws for compulsory education
and for the protection of the children
from the evils Of child labor; ard
to furnish each and every citizen with
q proper record of the date OF his
birth and his parentage in the ar
chives Of his birth place.

LITTLE HEROINE
TO HAVE EDUCATION
Hero Medal Also Will be Asked For
Miss Eva Key Of Near
LOnsdale.

Passengers on the Iron Mountain
train, whose lives were saved by IL
.year-old Eva Key near Lonsdale, a
few miles from Hot Springs, several
weeks ago, have started a movement
to provide the little heroine with an
education. Application already has
been made to the Carnegie Hero
Commission for medal and sulta-
BILE provision for the little girl.
The movement has been started by
N. E. Brightwell, of this city, whose
wife and other relatives were among
the passengers on the train.
Eva, with her youngest sister, had
started with a pail to get some water.
Crossing the railroad track, Eva
was Mortified to see flames sweeping
the wooden railroad trestle that span
ned deep gorge. She knew that the
Iron Mountain fast train was almost
due, and even as she looked at the
burning trestle, she heard the whistle
of the approaching train.
Most girls OF her age would have
run home, frightened almost out OF
their wits, but not this sturdy little
country girl. She told her little sis
ter to run for her father, in a des-
perate hope that he might arrive
in time to do something. But in the
meantime, she resolved to do every
thing in her power to save the on
rushing train.
She ran down the track until the
train came in sight. Then she stood
in the middle of the track as long
as she dared, waving her sunbonnet.
Her frantic motions impressed the
engineer that something was wrong
and he stopped his train-]ust IN
the nick of time, for the engine was
but a few feet from the burning
trestle when it came to standstlll'
