BIRTH REGISTRATION
y. .. Department Of Labor
Chlldren's Bureau
Washlnuton.

Wash. ID. C.-Why has the United
States Jagged behind other civilized
countries In the care and complete
ness with which births are registered
All the States fail to provide for some
of their children the Official record
which may become to any citizen at
any time for the protection OF his
property rights. or even Of his life.
The Children's Bureau of the u. s.
Department of Labor has taken up the
question because the recording OF
births affects children Immediately
and In various ways. Complete regis
tration is indispensable to any COM
prehensive work for the welfare of
babies. Without 1t, regulations for
the prevention of blindness in babies
can not be enforced; the public-health
nurse can not be sure of reaching
every baby in the congested districts:
and the death rate among babies
that most sensitive index of social
well-being- can not be reckoned
either for the community a. a whole
OF for districts within he community.
The Children's Bureau, In co-opera-
ton with the Census Bureau. has
therefore devised an informal test
which Is carried out by local commit
tees and which brings home to the
parents ofyoung babies theimportance
Of accurate and complete birth regis
tration. for after all. It Is upon the
interest and understanding of paren's
that an absolutely complete record
must. in this country, depend.
OF course a good State law Is neces-
sary to provide the machinery for
registering births in each community
and forwarding records to the State
Registrar. A good Law IL necessary to
give authority for the hning OF physi.
clans and mid-wives who habitually
fail to report the births they attend,
and such f1ning has proved essential
for securing registration I'm some
communities. But even with a good
law and officials who honestly try to
enforce II, there will always be some
unregistered babies unless parents in
sist upon having their children's
births recorded.
Interest In birth registration IL con-
stantly growing. Many State and city
health departments are systematically
working for better registration In
their respective districts. Volunteer
committees In 2s2 communities in ~
States have already reported to the
Children's Bureau on local tests. and
over $50 committees are now at work.
And BabyWeek campaigns include q
birth-registration day or some other
special publicity for the subject.

BOY MINES SHOT
MAKES BIG MONEY
plos UP METAL DROPPED FROM
SHELLS At GUN CLUB
Harms $500 In Three Months Working
Before and After School and
Saturdays.

Denison, Texas Bruce Sanford,
Q 16-year-old boy. earned nearly 5000
In the last three months-and Is sttll
earning money at the same rate--in
an odd manner. The boy lives near
the shooting grounds Of the Red River
Gun Club. He made. and Is still max
ing, this money by digging bird shot
out Of the ground there.
The queer mine" that he il work.
ing Is situated on marshy ground near
Red River. where there Ia plenty of
water for placer operations. The
ground has formed part OF the prop
erty Of the gun club for about forty
years and In that time no less than
800 tons OF bird shot have fallen into
the mud OF the marshy ground. =
Sanford goes to school. Before
and after school and on Saturdays
he goes to the grounds to hunt for
the leaden shot, which he sells for s
cents pound. 1t takes a great many
Of the small shot to weigh a
pound, but there are many of them in
the ground.
Bruce's mining outfit consists OF q
pair OF rubber boots, large iron
spoon. two washtubs and a>number OF
stout burlap bags. The method OF
mining Is very simple.
The mud il dipped into the tubs
where 1t is stirred around with the
spoon. The shot separate from the
mud and sink to the bottom of the
tub. The thin mud is then skinned
OF, the shot Ia dipped out. rewashed
In another tub. then placed in the
sacks.
1t IL not an easy Job, standing in
the mud and working stopped over all
the time, but Bruce has stuck to 1t
and is doing well.
Other boys have begun to mine the
shot also, and some Of them are max
ing as high as SIS week.

Possibly II Anderson had failed to

Yesterday morning, while sitting in Ihis duck blind in the vicinity of ! Lemon Creek, II. l..

As is usually a hunters luck Goch was armed with shotgun in- stead of a cannon and on account of the wolt's being out of range was unable to get a shot
 Shortly afterward Goch and "Kais- CT" Zynda took up the trail which they followed for some distance into the timber but due to the deep snow and dense underbrush the chase had to be abandoned.
 Many fresh tracks were seen by the hunters which indicated the pres ence of a large pack Of wolves in the locality and as result a wolf hunt is being planned by the club.
 The duck club enjoyed one of the most strenuous days yesterday of the season and worked up an enormous appetite which nothing less than one of the famous kaukaus will be able to satisfy and the club is anXiously awaiting the date set for the next banquet
