EVERYBODY
WANTING TO
WRITE RIGHT
Those Not VerSifying Are
PIayWriting and Here is
Aid to All That Would
Write

The saying that everybody either
has or is writing a play has become
a bromide.
1t is even more generally true that
practically everyone at some time in
his life writes poetry or at least tries
his hand at versifying.
Someone has said that there is
something wrong with the person
who doesn't feel an impulse to burst
\ into verse at some psychological
moment
Yield to that impulsei There might
be some great ideas under your hat
If they were but correctly expressed
and if you only had a guide to correct
expression.
That is just what THE EVENING
JOURNAL proposes giving you.

On Tuesday, April 8, the young men
of Middlebury organized at a meeting
at the local Y. NJ C. A. rooms to sup

tee reported and a constitution was
adopted. Mr.. Rocchi has been elected
captain. 1t is understood that other

pected that series of good games will
be played. County Secretary MOrhous

during his term Of Office. But in order to
qualify for the prize Mayor Broadbent
had to be notified Of every birth within
twenty -four hours after the occurrence,
as against the provisions of the English
law. which at that time allowed an inter-
val Of six weeks before 1t was necessary
to make report.
notification to the mayor was follow
ed by an immediate visit from lady
assistant medical officer" whose minis
trations frequently tided the new baby
over the dangerous first few days of its
life, with the result that during Broad
bents incumbency as mayor the death
rate Of LOngwood for babies under one
year of age dropped from 139 per thou

to secure the passage of compulsory
registration of all births and deaths in
every state which does not now require
this information. At present no states
possess satisfactory birth registration
laws except the handful already given.
while the necessity for an extension Of
death registration laws is brought out
by Miss Lathrop with the statement that
today only $50 per cent of the popula-
ton of the continental United States live
under such a requirement.
There are, of course, reasons why
America lags behind European countries
in the matter Of noting the births of chill
dren," said Miss Lathrop. lone reason
is that the United States has not resort
ed to one expedient. the sternest, most
hateful in the world. by which at once
faultless birth registration might be ese-
cured-that is. to the establishment of

Where Uncle Sam Gets His Co@ss-of-Armns

COCIAL climbers are not the only ones
who require a bought-and-paid-for
designer Of coats-of-arms. Uncie
Sam himself needs such services time
and again-needs them SO frequently, IN
deed, that he has a regular governmental
heraldist on the job all the time. paying
him a big salary twelve months out OF
the year to design coats-of-arms where
ever called for.
Uncle Sans heraldist Is Mr.. Gaillard
Hunt, and his office Is In a far corner
Of the massive 100000 marble and
gold Library of Congress. AS beffts his
calling. he is a historian and one. Incl
dentally. of International reputation. The
government seals and designs you al
ways see stamped on Official documents
are his work.
1t was he who designed the coat-of-
arms for Porto Rico, after its annexa-
ton. 1t was he who designed the coat
of-arms for the Philippine Islands. Again
1t was he who designed the seal of the

simple and the most symbolically strik-

And, finally. 1t was he who designed
the gorgeous, combined seal and coat
of-arms of the new Panama Canal Zone.

that can be seen long ways off and one
that will impress itself on your memory
far more strongly than the most perfect
photograph.
THAT, you know. was the original idea
of heraldry. The knights Of old ham,
mered out designs on their shields so
that in time of battle. their friends might
know them-their faces being hidden with
visors. They made those designs as
striking as possible and in such manner
that they could be seen from the great
est distance possible. Now you couldn't
see the shading of a picture very far,
could you? Besides, those knights had to
make their own shields. and hammer out
their own designs-which meant rough
the originators Of all heraldry.
II really can't say truthfully that
have designed the various seals and
coats of arms for which the govern
ment gives me credit. All my friends

Office while 1 was working on them

how they look. Then maybe I'll take

But has peace no reasons for knowing
authoritatively the advent of every citi
zen? Are not human lives in a civiliza ton
of peace worth enough each in turn to be
dignified by such public record as shall
preserve each link in the human chain?
Certainly property rights can often be
economically and justly preserved only by
the registration of births. Picturesque
and tragic instances Of the loss Of prop
erty rights due to lack of birth registra-
ton are at hand; but possibly humorous
instance will make the point as clear.
DR. John N. Hurry, secretary of the In
diana state board of health, tells a story
decidedly to the point:
"A farmer of Indiana, dying, left his
valuable farm in trust to his unthrifty
son, to go to his granddaughter on her
twenty-first birthday. The girl had been
told the date of her birth and always cele-.
brated it as such. However. when she
believed that she was twenty-one and
claimed her inheritance, her father denied
her age, saying she was only nineteen.

shield I have ever made before finally
hitting on just what I wanted
But even after you've finished your
design you're not through. Usually
you must find some motto to go with it.
To be proper this motto should be in
Latin. and the task is no simple one.
Obviously, the motto must be short
three or four words being the maxi
mum. Also. of course. it must be APP
propriate and significant. and the words
must be SO common that their meaning
is known to the general public. When
you attempt to pick out such motto
you usually discover that the very
phrase you want has already been en-
ployed on some other shield.
"The difficulties attendant upon find
ing a motto are so great that when I
was hunting one for the Porto Rfcan
shield I finally started a contest, in
viting suggestions from the general
public. We got over ten thousand sug-
gestions before We found what we
wanted. and. strange to say. the phrase
finally selected-'Prospera Lux Oritur'
was suggested by a young girl She
succeeded where some the most re-
nowned students Of heraIdry tried and
failed. All Of which goes to show that
the whole thing is more or less Q mat
