Birth Registration
Is Most Important
Prepared by Children's Bureau, u. S.
Department of Labor

Birth registration has assumed
new, and in some cases tragic, impor-
lance in the light of the European war.
Hundreds of families in our country
have suddenly realized that the abb
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
tiers. and he was suspected Of being a
German spy. In haste he cabled for d
passport, but when it came this was
not sufficient.
'sWhere is your birth certifcatef"
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 a search for the boys birth record.
1t happened at the time Of the boys
birth the family had been living in
state and a city where births were
registered, so the precious record was
found copy sent abroad.

In the ordinary concerns of everyday
life. 1t is the one indisputable proof
of Inheritance. Good state laws must
provide the machinery for registration,
but the completeness of the records
must depend, ultimately, on the inter-
est of parents.
Even yet the birth re cords in this
country are far from complete. No
state, end probably no city, has abso-
lutely perfect registration. Only in the
New England states, and in New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota and the District of Column
bia are the records accepted by the
census bureau.
Birth registration is one of those
fundamental matters of infant welfare
to which many communities are turn
ing their attention during Baby Week,
and one of the most valuable bits of
follow-up work after BABY Week is
the conducting of characterization
test. Such a test, carried out by TO-
cal volunteer committee, has been de-
vised by the Children's bureau, and
is valuable not only In revealing the
facts but in bringing home to the COM
munity the Importance Of registration.
In some places the registrar is send
ing a notice of registration to the par
ents as soon as birth is recorded.
This is proving an excellent device to
keep parents interested In seeing that
their babies births are registered. II
the notice contains all the facts includ
ed In the record and bears the sigma
ture and seal of the registrar, 1t viii
serve in future years as the official
transcript which may be required to
establish identity or the right of In
heritance, or as proof Of age or eiti-
Zenship.
The Children's bureau of the United
States Department of Labor has o
pamphlet OF directions for carrying out
MISREPRESENTATION test, and general
pamphlet on birth Registration"
Both are furnished upon request.

NEWS OF INTEREST
FROM SCANDINAVIA
Resume Of the important Happenings
In Sweden, Norway and
Denmark.
NORWAY.

The great Norwegian cod fishery,
which extends along the coast from
Ffnmarken to the vicinity of Bergen,
and Is most productive at LofoteD
islands, closed for the season with 4
total catch of 81 ,397 900 fish. according
to the report of E. Haldeman Denni-
son, United States consul at Kris
tiania. This is 15.437 900 fish less than
In 1915 and less than In any year since
1908. The greater part OF the catch,
44641 900 fish, was salted and pre-
pared as split fish. 3.256,000 were dried
as stock fish and most of the remain
der were exported fresh. Although
the average, the great demand for fish,
due to the war, made the value great
er than In any previous year. The Of
fetal estimate is $50, 100000. In 1910
the estimated value was only 9.46l,-
900. and in 1914 $S,5S4,5 500. The value
Of the herring landed during the past
season was about $23, 100000 for the
green fish," and the value of the
canned fish exported, chiefly sprats
and small herring, was about $l4,OOo,-
600. These figures indicate the great
profit that the Norwegian fishing In
dustry has made, due to the high
prices obtained because Of the existing
war In Europe. 1t has 1een reported
that the British government has pur-
chased this years entire Norwegian
fish catch, and that th~ purchase IN
cludes also sardines and other canned
fish. In virtue of a resolution OF the
storthing export duties have been
placed upon a large variety of fish and
fishery products. the amounts ranging
from 28S cents per 100 kilos for split
fish to $1.34 per barrel for spiced her
rings. These duties came into force
on March 80 and will continue until
June 80, 1917. unless modified by royal
decree.

SWEDEN.

On account of the heavy emigrn-
ton Sweden has 10000 old people
above the natural proportion. At the
close of the year 1913, the normal num-
Der of persons between the ages OF
sixty and seventy should have
been 1877 ,23S, while the actual number
was 166,333; the normal number Of
those between seventy-five and eighty
years should have been 53,273, and the
actual number was so, 29S; the normal
number of persons between eighty and
eighty-five years should have been 3D.
597, the actual number was 81 ,552 !;
and for those above the age Of eighty
five the numbers were $500 and 25.-
O5S, respectively. 1t is not difficult to
see what this means from an economi-
cal point of view. If those who have
emigrated from Sweden during the
past 80 years had remained at home 1t
stands to reason that they would have
supported the 10000 supernumerary
old people.
Swedish shipowners and underwrit-
ers are taking an expectant attitude
with regard to the German blockade
threats. Some owners have instructed
their vessels to return home or pro-
coed to the nearest safe port until
further orders. The belief is growing
that the declaration to n large extent
is a mere bluff. People in Sweden,
however, do not shut their eyes to the
danger to industry Of intensified sub
marine warfare, especially in the case
Of coal and grain imports.
Last fall q movement among the
farmers Of Sweden was started for
collecting food for the poor Of Stock
holm, and the gifts were summed up
as follows. just before Christmas :
Two hundred and eighty-nine cords of
wood, 119 tons Of potatoes, so tons of
grain and flour, nine tons Of peas, one
and half tons of cheese, almost one
ton Of butter, one and a half tons of
other kinds of food, and $500 In
cash.
