New York, April 4.-Cold drizzling
rain and skies that threatened snow
failed today to prevent New Yorks
annual Easter parade on Fifth Avenue
Gorgeous bonncts and wonderful
creations, examples OF the French and
American modistcs art were seen,
bravely defying the onslaughts Of the
elements. The ranks of the parade
were bit thin, but the dauntless ones,
in outfits more suited for Palm Beach
than Fifth avenue in the early and
uncrctain days of spring, stepped
forth to admire and be admired.
Probably never before has mere
man loomcd so large as contender
for sartorial honors. Not only were
the young men rcgplcndcnt they wore
"saudy." According to quotations
by New York clothicrs, the very latest
styles in business" suits come to
500, while evening clothes cost at
least 5000. ~.
The avenue saw suits Of many col
ors and cuts. There were fancy top
ped shoes, too. that would make a
barber pole jealous. Trousers were
tight. baggy and just loose. while the
rainbow-hucd shirts intensified the
color scheme.

ABOUT THE BABIES OF ARIZONA

During the first three months of 1920, there was registered with the State Board of Health 1919 babies This would be at the rate of 7278 a year. There were 6591 births regist- cred in 1919. The increase does not indicate any sudden access of popula- tion. It merely indicates that under the pressure of the State Health De- partment, more babies are having their rights protected.
 At the birth rate for the Registra- tion Area of the entire country, this would indicate population of 298,- 279 for Arizona. At very conser- vative figure, it is estimated that there are still so many oversights in the registration of births, that the Arizona record is at least 121a per cent faulty. With this correction, it would make theI probable population about 335,OO0.
 It is of interest to note that there were 946 boys (52 percent) and s75 girls GAS percent). In some of the counties there was an even break at different times. In February, Pima reported A births on a 50-50 basis and Yuma, in March, reported IA boys and IA girls. There were 13 pairs of twins.
 There were 19 illegitimate children reported, one in hundred. No ille- gitimate babies were reported from Graham, Mohave, Pinal or Yuma counties.
