on Tuesday that was as gratifying 10 the department as it was unusual. In the mail that was received in the de- partment was a letter from woman in Waterbury enclosing themidwlfes s certificate of the birth of her child who was born in 1917 and which had never been registered. The woman re- quested one of the cards which the departments sends with its communl- cations to mothers. Her letter was the first official notice of the birth of her child andf but for the desire of the mother to possess one of the depart ment's cards the birth might never have been officially registered. It seems that the midwife. instead of giving the certificate to the local registrar of vital statistics, gave it to the mother who kept it, thinking that she was carrying out the purpose of the law ln retaining possession of the document. It is supposed that one of her neigh bors who had received a card from the state department Of health showed the card to her and suggested that she was entitled to one, too. She, therefore, made her claim on the department for a card, and sent the certificate to sub stantiate her claim. The department replied at once by sending the woman card. The certificate >of the birth was sent to the registrar ill Water bury.
 The importance of having a more complete registration of births in this state was brought forcibly to the at te1itiou of the authorities of Connecti- cut during the recent draft work when in many instances a difficulty was en- countered in determining the age of draftee because of the fact that his birth was not registered The depart ment of health is alive to the import ance of having a more perfect system of birth registration in the state.

BIRTH REGISTRATION
 HELPED BY LETTERS

The practice in the state department of health of sending letters to mothers of foreign nationality, who may not be familiar with the requirements re- Iating to registration, on the birth of their children. reminding them of the desirability of having the children reg istered, has had the effect of securing a more complete registration than heretofore. The communication from the department contains a pamphlet giving instructions to the mother in the methods of physical treatment of her child which will be conductive to it's health and comfort The practice contributes to the lessening of the rate of infant mortality in the state
 The practice had result in a case

One hundred years ago, our country
could BOAST OF only two millionaires,
john Jacob Aster and Stephen
Glrard, one in New York and one i'm
Philadelphia. Now it is estimated
there are at least twenty-five thou
sand milliOnaires, with a yearly in
come Of $5,000,000. Nearly nineteen
hundred years ago Paul predicted
that in the last days" men would b.
lovers of money!
. ~FrOm Oak Harbor, Ohio. comes a.
letter with the following: August 10,
1919. LII has been very hot and dry
out mere during the months or June
ana July, the crops are nearly all a
failure Hay was only half crop;
wheat was very poor; oats is very
light; corn lis dried, much of it is
only about Is inches high, i'm tassel,
and tiny ears few inches from the
ground. But few potatoes. They
are selling at $500 per bushel.
8 merry, happy crowd consisting
OF two truck loads of young people
and many automobiles containing
earnest Sunday school teachers and
scholars from Hampstead, Md, passed
through our town on Friday of last
week, going to Eichelberger Park
Hanover, Pa, to spend the day. We
heartily approve of such outings, be
ing more beneficial and longer to be
remembered than the old time cele-
bration in a grove.
The Government has at last con-
scented to sell the millions of dollars
worth Of eatables which had been
stored away for the big American
Army. Many poor people will take
advantage of the bargains offered at
these sales which are taking place
in the principal cities, notices being
printed in the newspapers of prices
and the places to procure such goods
Even the people in rural communities
will have an opportunity to procure
the goods at cost by means Of the
Parcel Post system.
We fear some disaster will befall
the American people for the wanton
destruction Of food to keep up the
high prices, making the rich people
roll in wealth. The burning Of 80
tons of potatoes and, 500 bushels OF
peaches at Altoona, Pa, is sample
of what is done in some localities

sWer Found i'm War Savings
Stamps.

Tt sometimes takes the newcomer
to appreciate America. The native
born is often too close to the situa-
ton to realize what this country
means to the world today. He is used
to- all that it offers, taking it as mat
ter of course, and frequently loses the
vision in sordid detail; while the
new-comer-but listen to what one of
them had to. say.
He is George E. Rihbany Of the
1919 class of the Boston High School
OF Commerce and he came to this
country from his native land, Syria.
when he was 10 years old. In four
minute speech on the value of War
Savings Stamps, given at the school
recently, he said in closing:
Hate is not CHARACTERISTIC Of the
American people, but the Germans
taught us unwillingly how to hate
them. Now it is sin not to hate the
spirit the Hun showed and not TO aboi
.sh ii from the face of the earth. Or
the latter we are positively sure, DO.
cause the American passion for Jus
tice is O. hundred times stronger than
was the German passion for conquest.
'I never entertained the idea OF be-
coming an orator and am sure thar

qualifications are unnecessary ON nm
occasion like this, because the only
and best inducement to a true A5nerf

ment, and not even the best Grafton OH

Whether we all realize it or mot.
we are now in the midst OF period
which will be known to all ne o.

time for every one OF us to prove
whether he is O. sham American Or q
genuine American"

chase of War Savings Stamps are just

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: "How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man WHO has become &C
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ noted as leader in every
line it entered since 1S45-has once
more proved that it's policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skirnping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings, Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.

tire makers includes brilliant staff
Of technical experts. Not a man
