;l Tn view of these considerations we regret to report that Pkae Bluffs vital statistics are grossly defective
 for eleven months, in 1914, after the
 passage of the state vital statistics
 act of 1913, fairly complete records
 were kept After the cOnstitutionali-
 ty of the section of this law dealing i with the compensation of local regis trars was called into question, the
 registration, however, fell off. In
 the following years only fraction Of
 the deaths and hardly any of the births were registered. In 1916 only
 S4 deaths were registered, as against
 2S2 in 1914. in 1917 the registration
 was somewhat better, 260 deaths be
 ing recorded; but in the course of
 Miss Mariners investigation she
 was able to find on additional 192
 deaths occurring in the year. Thus death registration was in 1917 at least 42 per cent incomplete.
 In adition to beins5 incomplete as far as the gross number of deaths recorded is concerned the local regis tration is very defective with regard to the information furnished on the certificates which are on file. Much of the information called for by the certificate is lacking, parts of Sit contradictory, and vague and indefinite terms are frequent. There are also numerous instances in which stillbirths have been con- fused with live birts and deaths.
 The registration of births has been even more incomplete than that of deaths In 1917 only 28 births were registered. In the course of Miss Mariners investigation 2SS unregis. tered ones were found. Accordingly the registration was less than nine per cent complete. It probably was only six or seven per cent complete.
 The defect in the original state law is in some measure an cxtenua-ing with regard to the bad local registration. At the same time B locality can pass its own ordinan- ces requiring the registration of deaths and births and certainly should do so With the recent rem edying of the defect in the state law proper registration is now a legal obligation on doctors, unleNta akers, or other responsible persons.
 Another consideration, which while of no legal standing may arise in he minds of some persons as an ex- cuse for poor registration. s:ill ex-

 Ladies and gentlemen:
 'In lpresen. ing theI following re- port, we wish to take this Cpportunl- ty of expressing our appreciation for the very material assistance furnish ed our field agents, Miss Jessie l..

 We feel that no better augury could be had for the future of 2uhlic health work in Pine Bluff, than the very general interest and hearty CO., operation which has been shown by it's citizens, throughout the recent survey.
 In what follows, we have frequent ly felt that our statements of facts as we see them might seem hafsh On the other hand, it must be remem- bered that there really exists no health department in Pine Bluff and that. if the city is to undertake mod ern conservation work, such de- pertinent must be entirely built up. We have, therefore. made no effort l to conceal unfavorable conditions, but rather to discover them and to relate them to proposed health act | ivitieS

The Indian Sign Lanquaqe.

A white man who visits a foreign nation finds it hard and sometimes impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of q uni versal language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world. Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal lan- Guage converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every h. dian learns it in Addition to his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither one knew a word of the oth- CTS language. This universal lan- guage is, of course, made up of signs.

STORMS FRANKS WERE
 NUT HERALDED IN ADVANCE

Dear MT. Editor: Though I am neither owner nor employe of the Alaska Public Utilities. think I may safely say am (so far as light is con- cerned) perhaps its largest consumer. Therefore l feel the darkness more keenly than most. Still, following the rather sarcastic allusion in the morn ing paper regarding the power going off yesterday afternoon when nobody had the least warning" etc, I should tain the Alaska Public Utilities had no warning either or undoubtedly they would have hastened to fortify all the threatened points while 1t was daylight. But the little tornado raging the past three days gave no indication as to where it would strike and no defense could be prepared for the point of attack. In consequence the employees of the company labored through hours of darkness and raging storm until after midnight Anyone familiar with the ground over which the transmission line is strung be- tween the city and the power plant Ga distance of five miles) need be no further advised as to just what this un- dertaking meant, in darkness Ian tern broken or suddenly extinguished, single misstep, could easily mean death or terrible injury to the un- fortunate one. Personally think Cor dova has no cause to complain of the l service given by the new company. For period of more than a year the lights have been of two days, or pos sibly three. during April, as a result of one of the worst storms Cordova | has ever suffered.

MANAGER OR PLAYER, WHO
SHOULD DO THE THINKING?

The National League race this sea-
son may work out q problem of inter-
est to the student of baseball and
baseball managerial methods.
AS the race swings toward the
halfway mark little doubt remains
that the real strain of the late season
pennant fight must and win be shoul-
dered by two clubs, the New York Gil
ants and the Chicago Cubs.
Considering the clubs alone the Gil
ants on paper seem a little the strong
est. That is, player for player the
New York outfit is mechanically the
stronger.
In the long summer drive to come
the managerial policies of the two
clubs will have a great deal to do with
the ultimate result.
The policies and methods of the op-
posing managers, John McGraw and
Fred Mitchell are Numerically op-
posed to each other.
McGraw does the thinking for his
ball club. Practically every play
made on the field is directed from the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-06-24

bench. The players are merely the
instruments Of the managerial ! ain.
With Mitchell the players do heir
own thinking as well as their own
playing. Mitchell does little int, fer
ing with the field plans worked out
by his men as a game develops and
various situations arise
Skull practice" with the Giants is
more or less of lesson on baseball a
lecture delivered by McGraw. WI h
the Cubs 1t Is a discussion in VIII, n
every player has something to say.
The world series last year went a
long ways toward discrediting the
McGraw system. Had the { nts
been in the habit of thinking for
themselves II is doubtful VIII her
Heinfe Zimmerman and Eddie COX
Inns would ever have indulged In heil
famou foot race, which crushed thu
Giant morale and gave the White Sol
the world championship
II Mitchell, with a mechanical in
terior club this year should beat the
Giants the system would be even n ore
discredited.

The Serious Side.

In consuming the wide variety
of humor poked at the penny
ante or poker table these days one
side Of tho game. We do not re-
fer to the element of chance.
For the moment, merely concen-
trate on the six or seven players
sitting around the table. You
have formed your opinion Of each.
They have probably done like
wise of you.
What a wonderful place is the
poker table to study human ma
ture!
Every iota Of mans inner IN
stincts come TO the surface at that
table-the grasping nature, the
sarcastic mien, the poor losers
stab, the hilarious jibes of the
winner. Walk into room where
a game is in progress and If you
are interested in the study Of hui
man nature. nine chances out of
ten you will know who the win
ners are, and the losers, without
glancing at the chips.
We have seen q man worth
many thousands of dollars go
blue in the face with rage be-
cause fellow-player had filled a
flush, and in ten cent limit game
at that. Another-the finest sort
of fellow in the world to all out
ward aI>pearanceS-gave himself
the high and low" in a little
friendly" game. He seemed to
accept 1t as a personal offense
every time he was beaten out.
And generally when you have
formed your opinion of a fellow
around the table, that opinion
