.CANNBAt|SM MAKES
ITS APPEARANCE IN
RUSSIAN FAMINE AREA
(By Associated Press)



London. Jam 31-Dr Fridtjof Nam
sem, who lis closely identified with
Russian relief, expressed himself in
pessimistic manner in statement
to pres, representatives this after
noon regarding the famine in Russia
at is too late to save the people OF
Russia" he declared; whatever IS
done they will die by the millions.
Live stock is dying everywhere and IL
nothing is done there will presently
be none remaining. Twenty Amerl-
can dollars will keep horse alive,
Ilbut a human life can be saved for
fifteen shillings; that sum would Keep
a man alive until the new harvest.
"You may talk about horrors OF
war, but these people suffer for weeks
and months before they die. Their
bodies are nothing but skin and bones
but the famine stricken do not come
to that state until many days have
passed"
Asked if there was amy truth in the
reports of cannibalism, DR.. Nansen re-
piled that there was, but said it was
mot widespread as yet. "In many
places the people are eating dead bod
ies," he added, "but in the Samara
regions they are beginning to kill one
another"
DIR. Nansen will appeal to the Brit
ish people tomorrow might for Russian
relief

.DELAND NEGROES ARE
ASSAULTED FOR. SING
IN WHITE CHURCHES

DeLand, Jan .31-About $3.50 Sum
day evening a little unpleasantness
occurred which should drive home the
fact that nothing approaching social
equality between the two races, white
and black, can with impunity be tried
in DeLand.
Singing by negro quartet was an
r!unced in two white churches at
their devotional services for Sunday
evening. The quartet appeared at one
and as they started for another a
number of white men accosted them
and warned them that there was
plenty of white singers for the white
churches in Deand and that the best
thing they could do would be to go
back to their own churches. From
the story as it has been learned one
of the negroes wished Ito. argue the
point and white man clipped him
over the cheek bone with billy
making a painful brulse. Two negro
women had already gone to the other
church.
The negroes went to home in Ye-
massee where deputy sheriff Ed.
Stone was called to hear the COM
plaint. He went on down town but
could learn nothing except that two
negro women were i'm the other white
church. He ordered them to leave
the church.
The white men Wore no masks and
seemed to try to make no secret of
their identify. They were in three
automobiles and followed the car car
rying the negro quartet to Yemassee
to see that mo further attempt was
made to sing.

SAYS TRAINING BOAT LUXURY

Jacksonville Jan. 31.-The gov
eminent owned Eagle boat now be-
ing used as a training ship by the
local branch of the naval reserve, is
charge to the city, in its present
peace status, according to James
Banks, superintendent of municipal
docks here. Mr.. Banks told the city
commissioners that it was consum-
ing $35 a month in electricity and its
occupancy of docking space deprived
the city of revenue that could be real
lied from other vessels. The COM
mission took Banks statement as in
formation and deferred action on the
question of retaining the boat.

REGISTRATION OF
BIRTHS A SERIOUS
NEED, SAYS BOARD

~ JachSOuVllle, JAN ol'-lHe OtdI'
Board of Health in announcing tha
& during 1921 more births were regis
tered in Florida than in any year il
the history of the state, stresses the
importance of registration and calls
attention to the state law requiring
such procedure establish lega,
of citizenship. 1t is known, however
the board states that all births are
not registered, and largely because
of this reason Florida not yet been
accepted into the Birth Registration
Area.
In pointing out the Importance of
registration the Board states that
during the last year thirty-one copies
of birth certificates were certified in
order that Floridians might partici-
pate in Federal compensation or vo-
cational training.
Birth certificates of two, soldiers
who were killed in action during the
world war were certified in order that
their mothers might receive their
war risk insurance.
A Florida boy fifteen years of age
enlisted in the army and later sought
his discharge. A birth certificate was
required to prove his age before he
obtained his release.
A man born in Florida and who
had been known all his life as SOL
tie," inquired of the Vital Statistics
Bureau to ascertain whether it was
his real name. The original birth
certificate revealed that his name
was Morton.
A certified copy of birth certifi-
cate was furnished to prove the age
of girl held in Jail on larceny
charge. Her release depended upon
the record as her statement as to age
did not agree with in formation fur
nlshed by relative.
In 1894 the late DR.. R. H. Dean,
one of the most widely known physi-
clans in the state, attended birth in
a Florida home and while filling out
a certificate told the mother the rec
ord would be needed some time. The
child grew up, became soldier and
lost his life in Europe. His mother,
who applied for copy of her sons
birth certificate in order that she
might ~.1eeive Federal Compensation,
aid she had remembered the state
rent of DR.. Dean made nearly twenty
ears before.
A birth certificate was required in
Florida court recently as evidence
n an action for possession of an
dopted child.
A certified copy of a birth GER
,ificate was furnished to help a Flor
dian obtain a promotion in the navy.
A record of birth was requested for
Use at military trial.
> One record was required in order
that seven-year-old child, who was
born in America, might be brought
back from Spain.
] Seventeen certified copies of GER
Eificates We're furnished for passports,
hivoree cases, various court cases and
pther uses.
4 The Board regards copy of a
birth certificate as one of the most
important documents a person can
possess and is waging an intensive
campaign in an effort to have every
birth in the state recorded properly.
