WHY BIRTH REGISTRATION is
NECESSARY.

The only way of keeping an ofici-
al record of a persons birth is by
birth registration. 1t is probably
the most important record in a per-
sons life because it is a proof of
his or her legitimacy, his or her de-
scent, his or her right to inherit
property belonging to the family,
and his or her age for schooling,
and marrying. 1t will not be
long before a birth certificate is re-
for almost every kind of SER
vice and occupation. 1t is really
not safe to travel in any country
without the legal authority Of ones
citizenship, whcih is supplied by a
birth certificate.

Miss Antoinette Greedy since last
summer has found rooms at moderate
rental for many new government clerks
called to Washington for war work.
Miss Greely's plan was to send cir
cular letter to old government en-
ployes, asking if in their homes there
were vacant rooms which could be
offered at moderate rental to the new
comers. She set forth the patriotic
side Of the case and also asked for a
spirit of sisterly or brotherly interest
in the housing of the new workers.

MYSTERY OF THE SEA
. REMAINS UNS0LVED
Schooner Edna Damaged
by Internal Explosion:
Food Was Taken
OTHER SCHOONERS
ARE ABANDONED

The cause OF the abandonment OF the
schooner Edna. while bound from
Philadelphia TO Cuba, together with the
fate Of her crew, remains more Of a
mystery than ever. A survey and an
examination by diver yesterday to de-
termine the condition Of the vessel,
which was lowed into Philadelphia by
the tug Arabian on Tuesday, shows a
complete break in her port side, which
caused her to become wsterlogged
The examination shows that the
break, which is below the water line,
was not caused by a proiectile fred at
long range but by an internal explo-
sion. It was at first supposed that the
food supplies were intact, but a closer
examination shows that only the canned
goods were left behind and everything
movable was taken, including the chro-
nometer and compass.
TWO other abandoned schOOners were
reported on Sunday as having been
passed by an inward-bound Clyde Line
steamer not far from where the Edna
was first seen. The first Of the wrecks
was the schooner Hattie Dunn, with
part Of the derelict projecting above
the surface Of the water in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Winter Quarter
Lightship. The second was also near
Winter Quarter Lightship. but too far
down in the water TO learn her name.
