injunction suit in the court of com
mon pleas of Knox county against

less friends can smother the develop
ment of her daughter just the same
as weeds can prevent the growth Of
any flower or cause it to develop into
withered, useless blossom.
Young men should bear these facts
in mind. To them / say: Look upon
the face of the girls father. If he
has a worried, unsettled look pay
accurate attention to the manner in
which his wife greets him when he
arrives home from his hard days
work If the mother is always COM
planning and urging him to obtain
more wealth in order that she may
satisfy her extravagant tastes, beware
of her marriageable daughter. For
does it not stand to reason that, hav-
ing seen her mother show no SYM
pathy toward her father except as a
check signer, she should follow in the
same path?"

Boston, Mass, Jan. 1S-"Choosing
a wife by studying her mother" is the
latest advice on the greatest Of all
subjects, "Matrimony."
1t seems that there has at last been
discovered a means whereby the ar
dent lover can detect future quarrels
and unhappiness in general by sharp
ly glancing at his sweetheart's mother.
Mrs. Clara A. Marsh, treasurer of
the Fathers and Mothers Club OF

ipue remedy, after having studied the
many phases of unhappy marriages,

New York.-To be a pawnbroker is
on thing and a handler of wild ami
mails another. The clerks in r,
Simpsons pawnship didn't realize
this! Hence the city's collection OF
animals in Central Park has three new
alligators and the clerks in the pawn
shop a lot of experience.
Just after the pawnbroker's place
at No. 143 West Forty-second street
was opened for business a man ap-
peared. carrying a large wicker suit
case. He said 1t contained three live
alligators, all four feet long. They
had been given him by friend who
had just returned from Palm Beach
and he needed money, so decided to
realize on them.
One of the clerks called up "Bilr
Snyder at Central Park and asked
him what they were worth.
"Oh, about $40 each. If they are in
good condition." said Snyder over the
telephone.
OpOH CONSULTING Will the manager
of the place, the clerks decided not
to take the alligators as pledges but
offered to buy them outright for IS
each. The stranger jumped at the
offer and said he would throw in the
wicker suitcase.
A few minutes after he left one OF
the clerks decided to take a second
look at the alligators. He did, but
neglected to fasten the catch when he
stopped admiring their sleek skins
Ten minutes later, while another
clerk was examining watch that had
been brought in as a pledge. he felt
tug at his trousers and there behind
him, with glorious dental effect
showing, was one of the alligators
while crawling around the corner of
the safe were the other two. There
was a yell and every clerk in the
place climbed on the counters.
When the alligators had crowled
under the safe. one of the men tele-
phoned to Snyder again and told him

ALL BIRTHS SHOULD
BE REGISTERED IS
PLEA OF BUREAU

Washington, Jan 1S.-(Special.)-l
The newly created Children's Bureau,
in the department OF Commerce and
labor of which Miss Julia C. Lath-
rop Is chief, has just issued its first
monographs plea for the complete
registration of all births. The pam
phlet points out that single state
in the union has thoroughly effec-
tive registration system, and that In
1910 the New England States, Michi-
gan and Pennsylvania were the only
states where laws were sufficiently
good and sufficiently we'll enforced
to register nine births out of ten, and
nine out of ten is poor registration.
The Children's Bureau finds that
this absence of good laws. we'll en-
forced, is hampering the work for
the study and prevention of infant
mortality. This country, according
| to the best estimates available, is
now losing 100000 babies a year,
and experience has demonstrated that
at least half of these lives could be
saved If the simple methods known to
science could be brought to bear
But to apply these methods two
things are necessary, good vital sta
| tistics and an immediate report OF
every birth.
Good vital statistics are needed tC
enable those working for public
health to detect bad conditions and
select the proper social remedy fol
them. Immediate notification is ne
cessary so that the individual baby
born under adverse conditions ma!
be sent the assistance which can b,
so readily given by health authori
ties, visiting nurses, and other socia
agencies. Sir Arthur Newsholme, tn,
great English authority, has said tina
no one expedient has done more t
reduce infant mortality in England
than their law requiring immediat,
notification. Good vital statistics ant
immediate notification can be secur
ed only through birth registration.
Numerous other ways in whicl
birth registration will prove of valu
to children of the country are EN-
phasized. 1t Will assist in the en-
forcement of child labor laws an
compulsory education laws, giving tn
state an official record of the age O
Its children. 1t will furnish the chill
an official record of his age an
parentage. which will secure to hir
the protection which the laws of hi
state endeavor to throw around hi
childhood. An official record @
birth and parentage is, moreover
frequently of service in legal matter
and everyday private affairs, nc
only in childhood but .throughou
life.
The pamphlet contains, as an ar
pendix, copy of a model law 70
birth registration which is endorse
by the principal agencies working fo
public health and the reduction of in
fant mortality.
