or course 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 is necessary to
give authority for the flning of physi-
clans and midwives who habitually
fail to report the births they attend,
and such fining has proved essential
for securing registration in some
communities. But even with a good
law and officials who honestly try to
enforce it, there will always be some
unregistered babies unless parents in
sist upon having their children's
births recorded.
Interest in birth registration Is 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 81
States have already reported to the
Children's Bureau on local tests, and
over $50 committees are now at work.
And Baby-Week campaigns include 2
birth-registration day or some other
special publicity for the subject.

you to keep you from maxim another
kind of fool of yourself; widowers

certainly do need a guardian" She
shook her head at him despondently.
Jonathan advanced towards her de-
liberately, and clinched the matter:
We'll, Hepsey, seem we're engag-

Engaged? What do you mean? Get
away you She rose from her chair
in a hurry.
"Now Hepsey, bargains bargain,
you just said you'd have to marry me,
and l guess the sooner you do it and
have it over with, the better. So, seein
that we are engaged to be married, as
l was about to remark when you in

preached her once more. She retreated
step or two.
"Well! Sakes alive, Jonathan! Wha;

masterful. Well, yes then-I suppose 4
bargains bargain, all right. But be

So for once Hepsey's strategy had
been manipulated to her own defeat:
Jonathan went off TO town with fly

BIRTH REGISTRATION
U. S. Department OF Labor
Children's Bureau
Washinqton.

Wash, ID. C. why las 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 Childrens 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 it, regulations for
the prevention of blindness in babies
can not be enforced; the publichealth
nurse can not be sure of reachiL q
every baby in the consested districts;
and the death rate among babies
that most sensitive index of social
well-being- can not be rcckoned
either for the community a whole
or for districts within the community.
The Childrcn's Bureau, in co.opera-
tion with the Census Bureau, has
therefore devised an informal test
which is carried out by loc | commit
tees and which brings home TO the
parents ofyoung babies the Importance
OF accurate and complete birth regis
tration, for after all, 1t is upon the
interest and understanding OF paren.s 8
that an absolutely complete record
must, in this country. depend.
