BIRTH REGISTRATION
U. .. Department OF Labor
Chlldren's Bureau
Washington.

Wash, D. C.-Why has the United
States Jagged behind other civilized
countries in the care and complete
ness with which births are registeredf
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. 8.
Department Of Labor has .aken up the
question because the recording Of
births affects children Immediately
and In various ways. Complete regis
tration IL 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 public-health
nurse can not be sure of reachiI g
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. whole
or for districts within he community.
The Children's Bureau, in co-opsra-
ton with the Census Bureau. has
therefore devised an informal test
which 10 carried out by local commit
tees and which brings home to the
parents ofyoung babies the importance
Of accurate and complete birth regis
tration. for after all, It 10 upon the
interest and understanding of paren-s
that an absolutely complete record
must, in this country, depend.
OF course q 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 filming of physi.
clans and mid-wives who habitually
fail to report the births they attend,
and such filming has proved essential
for securing registration In 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 10 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 ESQ committees are now at work.
And Baby-Week campaigns include a
INTERPRETATION day OF some other
special publicity for the subject.

MANS HEART GENT
ACROSS THE OCEAN
Countess In California Ships Organ OF
Mate to Comply With
Spanish Law.

Pasadena, Cal. - At her hotel In
this city, the Countess Blanca de
OWES eagerly awaits news OF the safe
arrival in Spain of probably the strang-
est package that has left by ship
from New York to take it, chances
with German submarines.
To comply with the letter OF the
Spanish law, and to receive an In
heritance, the countess Is sending the
embalmed heart of her late husband
to be buried in Spain soil. Her ar
rangement for the peculiar transac-
ton were made during the last month
since the countess has been q guest
In this city.
The count died six years Lgo In At
lanta, Ca, and at that time the body
was prepared with the view OF send
ing the heart to Spain at this time.
The count and the countess were
natives OF Spain and both were exiled
because OF political differences with
the ruling authorities. The count own
ed a vast estate in Spain. which can
come into the possession OF the count
ess after she has complied with the
peculiar Spanish law.
In his will the count left minute In
structions telling the countess just
how to proceed in complying with the
law. A slow legal development in
Spain, conducted at the expenditure
OF q small fortune, made II unnecess'
AIRY to carry out the strange burial
rites until this time.
The countess in an interview the
other day told of her husbands adven'
turous life. When he was IL years old
he was stolen by bandits, and q ran
som demanded. When the ransom was
not forthcoming, the lad was abandon
ed in a forest after both hie hands
had been nailed to q tree.
In 1876 he was .exiled from Spain
for taking part In the Carlist re-
belllon, and became q wanderer in
many lands
