return to America until he could fur nish proof that he was born in the United States and was therefore a citizen of the United States. The proper information was obtained through a certified copy of the birth certificate of the child, which was made from the original certificate filed with the bureau of vital statis- tics.
 Another record in the bureau shows that considerable money was lost bN another child because the family physician and It's parents neglected to make a report of the birth of the child to the bureau of vital statistics.
 During 1921 the bureau has issued birth certificates in the following numbers and for the following pur- poses: To secure admission to school. G. to obtain permits to work, 5 to make proof of American citizenship, 5; for adjustment of workmen's com pensation, 85; proof of right of inheri- tance, 2; to obtain passports to for eign countries, 2 tor other legal pur poses. 30.
 Death certificates have been issued. for the following purposes: For the settlement o1 estate, SS; paymen, Of life insurance, 34 purposes not stated, 2.
 Dr. Perry believes the numerous requests show the importance of the registration of all births and deaths in Alabama. "In addition to all other reasons, the study of disease and dis ease conditions in the state Is based upon our death and birth records" said Dr. Perry. Much interest Is taken in child welfare and infant mortality and the complete registra- ton of all births and deaths Is nec- essary in order that the correct in- fant mortality rate may be obtained"

| giving vent to my stored up feel- ibg gs, the modern girl sends her hopes out into the world instead of locking them in a chest.
 Nowadays a man wants the woman he asks to be his wife to bring him something beside embroidered linens. even when they are as beautiful as this towel you are giving to me. He wants the embroideries she brings him to be only a token with which she has worked out her ideals and broadened her ideas. A man wants cempanionshlp and equality today.
 Tt is only the old-fashioned man that expects the woman he loves to accept him as the arbter of her life" I pleaded earnestly, with the zeal and enthusiasm of an apostle bearing his message to strange country.
 Why. do you know, the other night my grandfather, in prayer. co mplacently looked over the assem- bly. composed mostly of women, and, evidently wishing to pay them the highest compliment possible, he spoke of them as Gods last and best gift to man. and then he sat down as though he had said something for which every woman there should be grate- ful,
 T want you to know, Naomi that am not going to be the last and best gift given to any man."
 But your grandfather" interrupt ed Naomi, aghast at such heresy.
 My grandfather has nothing to say about it. I am going to live my own life as he has lived his and in doing this I am probably the first woman in the Fairfax family, except my mother. who has ever gone against the will of the men of her house."
 What are you going to do?" asked Naomi in hushed voice that had both terror and admiration in it.

By Associated Press

Constantinople, November 27.- Mustapha Renal Pasha, head of the Turkish national government, has re- fused to receive al Angora, his capi- ial. the British mission sent to dis cuss peace between the Turks and Greeks Tn Anatola. Apparently with the intention of impressing upon the mission that he is not anxious for peace, Mustapha Renal has directed that Il be received at lneboli. a small Black sea port by the minister of war and Rafael Pasha, commander of the nationalists' western army.
 It Is reported that a British of ficer has gone to the Anatolian front to arrange a meeting between Mus tapha Renal and Brig. Gen. Sir Charles Harrington. An attempt to arrange such meeting in July of the present year was unsuccessful, owing, it is said, to the Turkish lead er's attitude.

my life according to the plans of some one else and have only a hope chest at the end of it to cry over.
 You know Aunt Virginia, for who I am named, has a hope chest up in tho attic of our house in which all her youth and romance are buried. The annual renovating of this chest. with it's yellowed linens and laces and its dainty, faded embroideries which are shaken out and grieved over, is a time of sorrow and tribulation in our household. Aunt Virginia goes about without a smile. her eyes hold ing the unhappiness, not of hope de- ferred, but of hope blasted. It is like the annual opening of grave"
 Naomi looked at me with dawning horror in her eyes. Has your Aunt Virginia a hope chest still! why she has never married!
 Unfortunately Naomi, hope chest does not mean that woman is sure to marry. As far as can find out. Aunt Virginia never even had a sweetheart. And yet that chest with it's dead hopes, like an insensate devil, has moeked her sensitive pride and made agony of her very natural desire to be a wife and mother.
 q believe she dreams of 1t at night and 1t Is never very far away from her eyes during the day. 1 Know that when one of her married girl hood friends call, the contents of that box upstairs is laid, all unseen by the caller, between them.
 "It makes Aunt Virginia ashamed. She feels all the time that no man has thought her worthy My heart aches for her. She cannot be herself.
 q have heard many remarks by the women with whom she used to go to school to the effect that Vir- ginia Fairfax Is growing very queer as she grows older. and once I heard a male bi-ped exclaim complacently. as he spoke of my aunt, that women were always queer after 40 if they had not married wanted to strike

Here. Virginia, is something for your hope chest"
 I turned with start of surprise. for I had not heard my girl chum. Naomi Sanderson, enter my room. was dreaming, dreaming of the time when should leave our little south ern town with its rigid laws of social convention that had not been changed since my ancestors had first settled here generations before.
 To be one of the first families of Virginia was to be everything the would could give, according to my grandmother's standard.
 He named his first daughter for the state he loved and instilled into all our family love for the land of our birth. With such a grandfather it was inevitable that I. his first grand daughter, could have no other name than Virginia Fairfax, even though he had disinherited my mother for her marriage and resented my birth.
 Something for my hope ehest?" repeatedly stupidly.
 For answer Naomi held out to me towel wonderfully embroidered and with oroeheted lace across it's end. remember thinking that 1t was too beautiful ever to be used.
 Why, I haven't a hope chest. Naomi. What would I do with hope chest when I haven't even a sweet heart?
 But, Virginia, every girl in this town has hope chest but you. Most of us started them when we entered high school, The girls all think 1t strange that you haven't one and so made this as start"
 'Naom, from what I have read believe this is the only place left in the world where the women all feel that a girls future lies only in the hope that some good man and true will deign to ask her to be his wife.
