Washington, Aug. 10.-The right TO

rights which may be difficult to prove
without legal evidence. Because a
birth record is the best evidence Of
age, parentage and citizenship, and
because Of the Importance to the in
dividual and to society of careful
birth records. the Children's Bureau
of the L. S. Department Of Labor in
a pamphlet recently issued recon-
merds better birth registration as the
first measure in q children's year fol-
lowup program.
Only % states and the District Of
Columbia now keep birth records
with sufficient accuracy and complete
ness to admit them to the L. S. birth
registration area. These states are
California, Connecticut, Indiana, Kan
sas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mas.
