ABOUT VITAL STATISTICS.

Under the former condition Chat ob- talned as To the gathering in of the vital statistics. each community was expected to report as a matter of its own business, tae births. deaths. and ether facts of this nature. Some con- mgnities did not keep the statistical information. and there was confusion
 The state enacted law by which this information was to be gathered by state officers The law made it obligatory on The physicians to report births and deaths In each commu- nity an official was designated to re- ceive and compile the reports and submit his information to the state authorities at Little Rock
 This has not been done here. and it has not been any fault of the off ser designated by the state, for he has been ready to receive the reports. The death statistics are easy because mo person can be buried without a death certificate, and the information is thereby obtainable in accurate form. Bt the birth reports have not been sent in, and Hot Springs has an of sicial record of l2 births in two months Think of it.
 The state officials are coming here next week to start an inquiry and ascertain why che births are not re- ported. That is not the only object of their visit however, for the phy-. sicians have not made their reports of the communicable diseases, and of the preyentable diseases, and of the other things they are required under the new state law to report
