REGISTRATION Of
BIRTH Of BABIES
Serves AZ Record for Inheritance
and Of Educational and Other
RiqhtS

Has the birth or your baby been re-
lstered? If not, you should see to it
that this duty is performed without
delay. 1t 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 record serves
to establish his age beyond question:
and through this his right to the
legal period Of schooling and freedom
from labor. 1t may also serve to es-
tablish his right to a disputed inner
itance and to establish for him vari-
Gus property or other legal rights
which may be in dispute. There are
numerous instances where the lack
of this sort Of record has been thine
cause of serious losses of inheritance
and of education and other rights.
In New York city in 1913 the birth
records helped to enforce the person
a. or property rights Of more than
1880 persons.
The complete registering of all
births is indispensable. not only to
the individual, but to the state and
nation.
Most Of the states now have adc-
quate laws; their enforcement, how
ever, depends to a large extent upon
popular support. This support is as
sured If individual parents will insist
upon the registration OF each birth.

VESPUClUS, WHO GAVE NAME TO
AMERICA, BORN 465 YEARS AGO

Today is the anniversary of the
birth Of the man from whom the
Western continents received their
name Of America. His name was
Amerigo Nespucci, or, as it would be
LatiniZed. Americas Vespucius He
was a FlOrentine navigator, havin 3
been born in that city on March 8,
1451. For considerable time he was
merchant there, but later establish
ed himself in Seville, Spain. Here he
supplied the vessels engaged in the
voyages to the West Indies. In 1897
he, placed his business in other hands
and set out to see something of the
New World himself For about eigh-
teen months he cruised along the
South American coast, and returne!
home. He made several subsequent
trips, and was again in Seville in Feb
ruary, 1905, where he met Columbus
The two men became rivals, and YES
pucci is accused Of having attempted
to secure the renOWn properly be
longing to Columbus.
Story CT His VOYAGES.
During his sOjOurn at Lisbon in Sep
TENDER, 1904, NcspUcci completed and
dispatched to his Old patrons, the
Medici, in Florence, an account Of his
four voyages. The original of this
account has becn lost, but abridged
TRANSACTIONS were made in 1907 by
Wa!d&ccWu!'er. who suggested that
!hasmuch as NCGpucCi had been the
first to make known this new south
eT,1 continent it might be proper to
name il America"
iHe new name was given only to
the newly discovered southern conti
nent. Waldseen uller's suggestion was
embodied in printing and manuscript
maps, few Of which have survived
to the present day. The name grad
ually became fixed in popular usage.
During the voyage to this continent
IN 1897, if his accounts are accurate,
1t is thought he reached the mainland
few weeks earlier than the Cabots
and about fourteen months earlier
tran Columbus. 1t should first be
noted, however, that the sole author
lty OF thisvOyage made by Vespucci
in 1897 is Ncspucci himself. All con-
temporary history, other than his own
letters, is absolutely silent in regard
toy such a voyage, whether it be his
toy in printed BOOKS or in the ar
chives Of those Kingdoms of Europe
where the precious documents touch
ing the earlier expeditions to the
New World are deposited.
Doubt His Discovery.
In W&ldseemuller's "Cosmograph-
!ae introduction, which was published
in 1907, he says in his suggestion as
name for the New World: "A
fourth part OF the world which, since
I'm ergo found it, we may call Amer
1ge or America" and again now a
fourth part has been found by Amer
100 Neapiccj. ana | do not see why
we should be prevented from calling
1t Amorigc' or America The gen
eral weight Of opinion by the investi-
gators Of the subject is that Vespuccf
did not make the 1897 voyage at all.
and that he had no share in the first
discovery Of the American continent.
but there is not sufficient evidence to
convict him Of deliberate falsehood.
