BIRTH REGISTR AIION
AND HEALTH RECORDS.


Every farmer appreciates the value
of registering stock. lie will tell you
with pride of his registered cows,
which have been also tested for tuber-
culosis, his registered pigs and chick
ems Even the pup is registered and
has long pedigree and a chart show
ing his exact markings, even the little
brown spot beneath his left ear. The
picture on the chart shows how he
would look if the county truck ran
over him.
Why not have a little of the same
consideration for the baby? Is not
birth registration just as important to
him or does his value simply depend
upon what his fond parents say about
him?
During the first excitement of the
draft law, physicians received letters
from people ranging from Maine to
California requesting them to hunt up
old ledeeTs in some dusty attic or
store room to find, the date of their
sons birth because no registration of
the same could be found. The moth
er knew he was seventeen hut she
must have proof for the draft board.
If this failed the church records were
searched for the records of baptism.
Little attention had been paid to birth
registration by physicians or parents,
and midwiyes are not licensed in the
state. therefore did not register their
cases.
Statistics are a joke under such con-
dtiOns. Who could tell the birth or
death rate in the state?
There was the case Of the unfortu-
nate German, born possibly in Old
Town, who was suspected of being an
alien enemy, with no birth reg,stra-
ton to protect him.
Mary would like to marry without
her parents consent, Lut how can she
prove that she is just eighteen today?
Also the man She wishes to marry has
no health certificate, which does not
matter because the safe laws do not
require it.
The heirs of a large estate are hav-
ing trouble because of difficulty in
proving that they are of age, as no
birth records can be found.
Following the closing of the war
and settlements of various claims. a
certificate of birth will likely be re-
quired. a birth certificate is now
required to obtain & passport to a
foreign country to obtain a soldiers
pension and TO establish American
citizenship.
France has had complete and ac-
curate records of her citizens since
1857.
Kansas state board of health is es-
tablishing files TO include every citi-
zen of the state who will avail him
self of the privilege of registering

"pII SAY so" STUNTS
.tRE SURE TO PLEASE.

Mr. Bill Mcdonald and Miss Cora
Wilson have a very clever song and
dance sllt in "I'll Say So" Miss Will
son is more or less new to musical cir
cles of Albuquerque but no doubt the
audience will fall in love with her,
and Bill Mcdonald needs no intro
duction to song lovers of the city.
The French maid chorus led by Miss
Grace Stortz is one of the prettiest
acts in the entire play. Four beauti-
full girls and as many good looking
youths will produce this act which will
certainly be a whilwind act. The
Jag chorus also led by Miss Grace
StortZ, is another act which will make
a decided hit. The music for this act
has been composed by Lloyd Kellam.
This stunt is full of pretty girls and
lets of pep, the dancing to Mr. Kel-
lam's music is something that is sure
TO please. "l'll Say So"

From tho Japanese of Seni-Life.
The old retire late
and arise early
in order to conserve
their swiftly flying hours
of conscious life.
There is but little paint in the can
and the painter hurries frantically,
for the wall to be covered is large
and he thinks by haste to cover it
before his paint gives out.
And, 10! Dotage and anecdotage,
the old teller and the old tale,
go hand in hand.
And wisdom is hidden in strange places
where only fools will seek it!

TILE RNuMANN EXHIBIT.

mann, the noted Santa Fe artist
which opened Thursday afternoon. is
so totally different from what has
been shown heretofore in Southwest
ern art, that it is attracting much at
tention. 1t is in water color but done
with such perfection as to overcome
that sense of patchiness and incom
pleteness that one faces in the average
water color exhibit. There is some
thing of the daintiness one finds in
Carl Oscar Borg's delicate southwest
,ern sketches, but on a much larger
scale.
