ond, how many people would you say
died in this city last year?'
To the first question all five re-
piled that the health of the city was
good. The guesses as to the number
of deaths in a year varied from 60 to
500, The answers showed how little
the people of the city knew Of their
figure that year was sos, making the
death rate almost double the rate for
the United States in general.
Once a city is aware of it's deficien-
cies, it can start a campaign to over
come them. Without accurate statis-
tics as a guide any drive for better
health is apt to be Intellectual.
The United States is apparently less
interested in keeping tab on its popu-
lation than the countries Of Europe.
Once in 10 years, a census enumera-
a few facts as to the inhabitants Of
the United States, and then for the
next 10 years the census bureau issues
reports and estimates based mainly on
this set of figures. We do not know
how many children are born every year
in the United States, and we do not
know accurately how many people die
every year. If we knew these things,
and the causes and circumstances, we
could add Is years to the average life
at least so some statisticians claim.
Though the situation in state book
keeping is not good, still the outlook
is more hopeful than ever before. More
states are added to the registration,
area every year, and better. more uni
form. laws are enacted. Moreover. It
should not be forgotten that some
states have remarkable records of vital
statistics: a few even dating back TO
colonial times. =
A sweeping remedy for registration
problems would be a federal law, The
wisdom of this. however, Is doubtful
as some Of the states have excellent
Jaws might consider federal control
the argument is started as TO whsther
a federal law would be constitutional.
AZ present, health officials and or
sahlsatlons such as the Federation Of
LABOR, advocate uniform state regis.
tration laws to be patterned after ibe
model law Of Pennsylvania. ~

"weU. Mr.. LONG, I am going to
give you q treat too said Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the rtsSrat lady
housekeeper, 10 the bunny T. tleman In
his hollow stump bungalow n morn
ING,
or than on any other asked Uncle
wlggily, speaking formal-like and dress
Because this Is New Years day
went on Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. and we
always have a little extra something
for dinner. This time / am going TO
give you a cabbage cake.
ooh, that will be fine cried the
bunny rabbit gentleman, taking off his
glasses so he could clap his paws with
out tickling his pink, twinkling nose.
III there is one thing | like, more than
another. 1t is cabbage cake
IL thought you would, went on the
muskrat lady. We'll, II is almost ready
TO put in the oven, As soon as it Is
baked
She stopped suddenly and listened to
the ringing OF the telephone bell.
ITS someone for YOU said Uncle
Niggily, after barking a moment TO
someone speaking at the other end Of
The wire.
Dear me-" exclaimed Nurse Jane,
II hope ! don't have 70 30 out before !
finish the cabbage cake
And after she had listened a moment
Or two 20 her animal friend at the other
telephone, Nurse Jane said
Wen, Wiggy, | do have to 60 out.
but / will not be long, Mrs. Twisty-
tail, the pig lady, has Just bought a
new dress. and she want me TO run
over 10 see II ii fits her. I'll be back
in q moment and finish making the
cabbage cake"
Don't be in any hurry" spoke the
Dummy, politely.
But when ha'f an hour or more had
passed. and Nurse Jane had not come
back, Uncle Wlggily began to get a bill
'ussy.
n think | he'd better see about that
cabbage cake" he said to himself
Perhaps | can put IL in the oven as
well as Nurse Jane herself, I'll do II
and surprise her"
uncle wiggily went out to the
sitchen. On the table was a large cah-
Gage. and some flour, sugar, baking
powder and other things that go TO
make a cake, all mixed up into a sweet
dough.
III seems TO me all that needs to be
done Is to put the cabbage into the
cake. or the scake into the cabbage,
slip II in the oven and bake It," spoke
tho bunny rabbit gentleman to himself
That's what I'll do. I'll make the
cabbage cake and Nurse Jane and
will eat 1t for our New Years dinner"
The rabbit gentleman looked at the
NNings IN the kitchen iable-at the cab

HE HOPED so. TOO.

\ well-drcssed and charming young
lady hailed a four-wheeler. there being
no taxicab in sight, lust as she Wa
getting in she noticed that the horse
seemed inclined to he frieky
He was jumping about and swishipg
his tail in a way that alarmed her
she was a timid little thing.
So she addressed a few words to the
aged Jehu.
II hope she said. smiling bravely,
that you will not run away with me-
The Cabby sighed mournfully.
NO, mum" he replied, Il have q
wife and seven Kids at home already"

bage ard the cake dough, and al the
pans, Then he looked at tho stove,
tho oven OF which was hot and wait
ing for a cake to come and play tag
with il.
Il wish l knew whether 10 put the
cake dough into the cabbage, or the
head Of cabbage into the cake dough-
thought the bunny. Il guess it's easier
TO put the cabbage into the cake rather
han the AXE into the cabbage. II
do the first ! won't have TO make a
hole in the cabbage head.
SO Uncle Wlggily just took the whole
head Of cabbage, not knowing any bet
ter. put il In a pan and poured the
cake dough all around II.
1t looks Just like a big plum or
raisin in a plum or ratsin cake said
Uncle Wiggily with a jolly laugh. Now
to bake 1t in the oven"
Opening the door carefully. so as not
to burn his paw. the bunny put the
cabbage, covered as IL was with cake
dough, into the hot oven. Then he sat
down to wait for It to bake.
The fire In the stove grew hotter
and hotter, A fine smell OF something
sweet being baked seemed to steal out
into the kitchen OF the hollow stump
bungalow. Unc'e wiggily was Just
thinking his cabbage CAKE must be
nearly baked. when. all Of n sudden
there was a loud banging noise,
Open flew the OVEN door. II out
from the oven shot a shower Of pieces
Of cabbage and pieces Of partly baked
cake. All over Uncle Wisgily as wen
as all around the kitchen scattered and
splatteTed and shattered the cabbage
and cake, Uncle WlgRily felt pieces
Of il sticking on his pink. ~twinkling
nose and On his ears.
Dear me! What happened?' asked
the rabbit gentleman, picking himself
up out OF a corne where he had been
blown. ut vas just like an explosion"
1T was an explosion cried a voice
behind the bunny, and there stood
Nurse Jane, Whatever in the world
did you do?' she asked.
IL lust put the cabbage in the
cake" answered Uncle Wiggily.
And did YOU put in a whole cabbage
without cutting it up, Or making. a
hole In for the steam to come out7"
asked Nurse Jane.
II didn't know it would burst" said
the rabbit.
wen, that's lust what 1t did"
laughed Nurse Jane. The cabbage
burst in the oven just as n roast chest.
nut bursts II you don't make a hole In
il for the steam to come out. But never
mind, You couldn't help it, and l can
make another cake"
And Nurse Jane made the right kind
Of a cabbage cake, after she wiped
some of the dough out of the bunny's
whiskers. And II the sugar cookie
| doesn't scratch all the chocolate off
the apple pie when they go TO the NOV
ing pictures with the piece Of cheese.
I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
