Terrible Tale of Unhappy Woman,
Warning to Those Opposed to
HYGIENE Law.
(By United Press Association

Madison, Feb. Pa woman walk
ed into the office of Governor Philip
yesterday and asked to see Lawrence
c. Whittet, acting secretary. She was
a faded, trouble-Worn little thing with
look Of absolute helplessness in her
eyes. Yet her face revealed lingering
traces Of former beauty. Her dress
was that of woman who had seen
pleasanter days.
Presently Mr. Whittet sent for her.
And this was her story.
Eight years ago, she said, she was
pure, young girl, life was pleasant.
She loved a man and married him.
In time baby came to them. The
baby was i'll from birth. She, too, be-
came Ill. She never recovered from
that strange illness, the nature of
which the doctor would not tell her.
Another baby came. It died and
her condition became much worse. The
third baby was born and died. She be-

al nightmare to her. The first baby
had never been normal. Gradually
its tiny mentality collapsed. Physic-
ally it was thing, not human.
Then the doctors told her. She d.
vorced her husband and the court a.
warded her alimony. For some months
it was paid, but the tine came when
it ceased and she found that her hus-
band had gone to Michigan, out side
the pale of the Wisconsin courts. She
was dying of the most dreadful of
communicable diseases, her baby an
unsightly monstrocity. She was des-
titute. Could the governor grant re-
QUESTION papers to force the return of
her former husband?
Mr.. Whittet told her how to formal
ly gain her end She walked out; a
fiaring example of crimes against So
ciety. Her only hope is to keep body
and soul together without charity be-
fore a horrible death claims her.

Leon Matthews of Sigel on Second St.
near the east side market square this
afternoon.
Mr.. Matthews was turning from
First street, around the Rowland

about made half the distance when
the Noltner car came flying around
from Second street and struck the
left side of the front of the Matthews
car. The Noltner car skidded so that
the rear of it struck the right front
of the Matthews car. The left lamp
Of the Matthews car was smashed, the
radiator broken, the right front wheel
and axel both damaged.
Noltner turned the corner within
six feet of the left curb. It is said
that Noltner had turned to the left
to pass another car and did not see
the Matthews car and that is why he
was so close to the left side of the
street. None were injured.

property holders held last evening, at
the Elks' club, it was finally decided
to ask the council to pave the street
with concrete. Concrete was selected
by about two to one vote. A con-
crete pavement with asphalt covering
was suggested and also an asphalt
pavement.
The main objection to concrete as
paving material was that it would
be noisy.
Mayor Cohen and City Engineer
Philleo attended the meeting and gave
some valuable information regarding
the paving with concrete in other
cities.
Twenty interested property owners
attended the meeting.

MARCH THRIFT
TALK IN
THE MAILS

The March number of Thrift Talk
is being mailed today by the First Ma
| tional Bank of Grand Rapids to many
hundreds of residents in this city and
surrounding territory.
There is wealth of splendid infor-
nation contained within the pages of
the little sixteen page magazine, and
one can scarcely read without be-
coming more and more imbued with
the idea of thrift.
Thrift in the Home" is q splendid
article pointing out how the house
wife can effect many small savings in
the course of her daily duties; ''Two
Kinds Of Property" is another article
which sets forth the vast difference
between improved and unimproved
property, and should be read by all.
Perhaps the most interesting arti-
Gle contained in the magazine appears
under the head, "Do You Want an
Increase of $1,000 Year When You
are Fifty" 1t shows in plain figures
just how a young man of twenty-five
years of age, presumed to be earning
about $23 a week can provide himself
with an income of not less than ST.
900 year by the time he reaches the
age of fifty. 1t shows just how to ac-
complish this, and points the way to
future financial independence.

Thrift Talk" is a monthly maya
zine, printed by the First National

a better relationship between the

The magazine is mailed on the first

to all who may request copies.

CARE Of THE BABY
(By United Press Association.)

(By United Press AsSoclatlOn.)
Has the birth of your baby been
registered? If not you should see to
it that this duty is performed without
delay. It may some time be of the
greatest Importance to your child that
there be in existence an accurate legal
record of his birth, date, place and
parentage. Such a record serves to
establish his age beyond question, and
through this his right to the legal
period of schooling and freedom from
labor. It may also serve to establish
for him various properties of other
legal rights which may be in dispute.
There are numerous instances where
the lack of the sort of record has been
the source of serious losses in inheri-
lance and of educational and other
rights.
In New York city in 1913 the birth
records helped to enforce the personal
or property rights of more than 1885,
900 persons.
It is, in most states including, Wis
consin, required by law that the doe
tor, midwife, or other attendant at
birth shall report the birth to the
registrar of births as this duty is not
infrequently neglected, parents should
investigate to see whether it has been
done properly in the case of their chill
dren.
The complete registering of all
births is indispensable, not only to the
individual but to the state and nation.
The federal government can and
does tell US exactly how great is the
accession to our population each year
by immigration, or intake from for
eign lands At each port Of landing
immigration inspectors record each ar
rival and tell of his or her nationality
age sex, destination, and how much
money each one brings, but the fed
eral government can not go into the
states and cities and establish regis
tration Offices and tell us how many
children enter such state by birth.
This work must be done by each state
separately. We have no national book
keeping to account for the ebb and
flow Of human life. as an asset and
liability Of our civic organism.
