and weaving extends. A recent
suggestion appearing in an Amer
ican trade journal has reference
to the praeticability of shaving
hides of all cattle sent to the
slaughter houses to the purpose
of using this commodity for MAX
ing cloth for clothing, The arti-
Gle speaks of a SUIT which the
writer knows about that is made
from cow-hair cloth, and it is
alleged that it is a very good
looking suit and has shown wear
ing quality rather superior to
clothes made from wool cloth.
The idea Of saving the hair of
the beef f-cattle and manipulating
it to the purpose of bringing
down the fearfully boosted price
of woolen clothes is based upon
the theory that there is an actual
shortage in the worlds wool sup
ply and that the high cost of
wool clothes is referable to the
high cost of wool. The American
Wool Growers Association stren-
uously denies that the scarcity
or the high price of wool explains
the high cost of clothes is pre-
ferable to the high cost of wool,
the wool cost in a $100 suit is less
than $3.50, and around SIS in o.
$50 suit.
Just as like as not COW. hair
clothes, if they come into the
supply in large way, will range
as to price along with the wool,
goat hair, camel hair. silk, cotton,
linen and hemp fabrics. There
is something else to the high-cost
boost than the cost of the raw
material. This applies not only
as to clothes, but as to everything
else of human use or consumption. !

MILLIONS WORK IN MINES

The magnitude of the mining
industry may be grasped when
one realizes that more than 6, 600, :
900 men are engaged in the mines
of the world. Of this mber,
$500, 900 are employed in the
coal mines and 100000 in the
metal mines. In addition, millions
more are engaged in allied indus
tries dependent directly upon the
mines for coal and metal, accord
ing to the Engineering and Min
ing Journal.
If it had not been for the lure
of the metal mines, the west
would not be the highly developed
section of the United States that
it is today, Our whole prosperity
hinged on mining in the early
days and now prosperity in the
mining industry is the barometer
of general prosperity in many
Western states.
The west should stand as a
unit for sane labor, legislative
and taxation policies, encourag-
ing to the development of this
great industry.

Death Certificates
and Burial Permits

The following communication
from the State Board of Health,
outlining obligations in connec-
tion with the disposal of dead
bodies, has been received by Mrs.
Burns, local registrar of vital
statistics:
The law in Arizona makes it the duty
Of the person burying, or otherwise dis
posing of dead body, to secure a
proper permit from the local registrar
of the district in which the person dies.
1t is not the duty of the physician to
secure this certificate.
Paragraph 4409, of the Civil Code,
provides that no dead body shall be in
TERED, deposited in vault or tomb, or
cremated, or otherwise disposed of
without burial permit from the local
registrar; that it shall not be removed
from the district without a permit of
removal from the local registrar; that
it shall not be held temporarily, pend
ing further disposition, more than 72
hours after death. without permit
from the local registrar. The same
paragraph says the local registrar must
not issue any such permits Until a
complete and satisfactory death cer-
tificate has been filed with him." Para
graph 4424, of the Civil Code provides
specifically for the same thing.
Paragraph 44l5 makes it misde-
meanor for any sexton or person IN
charge of any premises where inter-
ments are made to permit a body to be
buried or otherwise disposed of in that
property, witout proper burial permit.
Paragraph 4427 (Section 81 provides
that if any undertaken, OF any person
acting as an undertaken, disposes of
dead body without first having received
proper permit from the local regis
trar, he shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and fined not less than
$25. 90, nor more than $4,000. This re-
fers particularly to cases where bodies
are buried by the family without the
employment of an undertaken. Section
A OF this same paragraph (442O pro-
vides that any registrar who fails to
enforce the provisions of this chapter
in his district, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor. and upon conviction
thereof. shall be fined from $1,000 to
500 90.
A local registrar who knows of case
in which body has been buried with
out the issuance of legal burial per-
nit, should call the matter to the at
tention of those at fault, provided he
feels that the failure to secure prop
er burial permit occurred through igGo.

UNPOPULAR. BUT TRUE

Numerous remedies are sug-
gested for the sugar shortage.
Most of them are purely for polit-
ical effect. One of the favorlte
suggestions is to put some one in
Jail. Another is to deny the use
of sugar to candy and soft drink
manufacturers. Neither sugges-
tion would increase sugar pro-
duction. The candy and soft
drink industries use about third
of the sugar produced and cutting
them off from a supply would
undoubtedly cut production in
stead of increasing it.
The law of supply and demand
is at work now to increase sugar
production and only by increased
production will the price ever be
lowered. We are reaping the
result now of artificial laws In
force during the war which set
aside the law of supply and de-
mand, thus curtailing production
at a time when production should
have been increasing.
Unpopular as it may be to state
hard, cold facts, we will never
have cheaper sugar until the
supply catches up with the de-
mand. If we limit consumption
by artificial legislation, giving it
to one class while denying it to
another, we at the same time
limit production, for there is
no use for either the farmer or
the manufacturer to produce un-
limited quantities with a cur
tailed consumption.
Mother nature will remedy the
sugar shortage in a more salts
factory manner than all the vote
seeking politicians combined, let
her have a chance, instead of
crippling specified lines of indus
try in favor of others, all of
which ultimately works to the
detriment of the whole people.

Cause of Death

No death certificate need be issued
for stillborn children, when the period
of CESSATION is less than seven months.
When the period of CESSATION is seven
months or more, the child must be reg
istered as stiliborn and both birth and
death certificates be issued. The cause
of death in such case shall be entered
as "Stillborn.
Paragraph 44l2. of the Civil Code
provides that if death occurs without
medical attendance. the local registrar
must be notified. The local registrar
must notify the local health officer.
The local health officer must inyesti-

local registrar cannot get in touch with
the local health officer inside of six

others are true, and that his informants

THE DAILY SHORT STORY

very close over Lora, as if he were
