Birth Registration
Is Most Important
Prepared by Children's Bureau. U. 8.
Department Of Labor

Birth registration has assumed a
new, and in some cases tragic, impor-
tance in the light Of the European war.
Hundreds Of families in our country
have suddenly realized that the pb-
sence of birth record is grave omis-
sion which may have the most serious
result.
One little true story is typical Of
many incidents which have happened
since the first Of August, 1914 The
young son of Washington family, just
graduated from one of the big Ameri-
can colleges in the spring of that year,
had gone to France to study. He was
comfortably settled in a small French
village, learning the language, when
suddenly news came that war had been
declared. The authorities of the viii
lage demanded of all strangers EVIL
dence of their nationality. This Amer
lean had no evidence save personal let
ters, and he was suspected Of being
German spy. In haste he cabled for a
passport, but when It came this was
not sufficient.
'Where is your birth certifcate?"
inquired the officer, and the young man
could only admit that he had none.
But he cabled again to his father for
help, and the father hurriedly institut-
ed search for the boys birth record.
1t happened at the time of the boys
birth the family had been living in a
state and a city where births were
registered, SO the precious record was
found copy sent abroad.
A birth certificate may be important

Edward Fitzgerald was fatally in

guest Fitzgerald worked on the
Beck Brothers ranch several miles
south of Hope and had gone into
town early in the evening. He did
not return but about 1880 in the
evening one of the Beck brothers was
wakened by groans which seemed to
come from the road nearby. A thoro
search near the house disclosed moth
ing and as the moaning had stopped,
the men thot no more about it.
At $50 this morning, when Mr.
Beck arose he discovered that Edward
had not come home. He called some
friends in town but they had not
seen the boy. Beck started a search
and found Edward under the car
dead. The top Of the car was smash

stuck and Fitzgerald could not turn
the wheels back from the edge of the

RUN AUTOS WITH COAL GAS
London Motorists Find 1t Cheaper
Than Gasoline at Present High
Price of Latter.

Great interest has been aroused by
the reference made in the London
Telegraph recently to the economic ad-
vantags of the utilization of coal gas
as a substitute for petrol (gasoline),
says that newspaper. 1t has been es-
tablished by actual practice that 25O
cubic feet of coal gas-the ordinary
gas that is used for household illumina-
tion purposes-equals one gallon of Pc
troll when applied to the work of driv-
ing a motor vehicle. If gas costs Y
cents 1000 cubic feet it is equivalent
to petrol at Is cents gallon, and at
96 cents 1000 cubic feet is equivalent
to its competitor at "a cents gallon.
AS petrol cannot be bought today
for commercial purposes at under 4S
to 5S cents a gallon, it will be seen
how great is the economy effected. So
far as the alterations rendered neces-
sary to the engine of a motor vehicle
are concerned. the only additional eX-
penditure is about $3.50, and the gas
bag cOntainer for the storing Of the
vapor costs S75. Thus, for the ex-
pendtiure Of S7S.60, an ordinary petrol
using motor vehicle of any description
can he converted into a gas driven one,
and the driving expenses reduced enOr-
mOusly.
