Ahe only first class nation in the
world that does not have a COM
plete registration Of births and
deaths. The United States has no
national vital statistics, the reports
states, as there is no Federal law
which provides for the proper regis
iration of births and deaths and
Geveral States still remain without
adequate laws on this subject.
During the past fiscal year the
bureau of the census has been con-
rlucting an active campaign in the
hope OF remedying this situation and
1t is hoped that satisfactory laws on
registration Of births and deaths
will be on the statute books of every
State before the next decennial cen
sus in 1890
The bureau collects and publishes
statistics Of employment, wages,
production, and power for all manu-
features each second year, and of
stocks, production, consumption,
sales, and various other facts con-
corning the leading key industries

which at the present time the

It is probable, the report states,
that there are in this country over

analysis and understanding of manu-

leves a census on distribution is es-
sential. The report recommends
that preliminary work be done as
soon as possible in order to estab-
fish the best methods to be followed
in taking this census of distribution
and that the work be identified with
the census of manufactures.

forestry mining, irrigation, power,
Fisheries, water transportation, and
State and city finances.
The tabulation Of the data con-

Hertford, N. c., dispatch CT April 4
Drunkenness among the youth of this
town and county has reached such a
stage that the mothers of the town
have appeared before the chamber of
commerce to ask aid in their efforts
to clear the streets of Hertford of
rowdiness, cursing and general mis-
conduct, especially on Sunday.
The Rev. S. R. Monds, speaking at
a meeting of the chamber, urged the
adoption of law enforcement COM
mittee, backed by the civic organi-
cations to eradicate the pest Of whis-
key" from the town Of Hertfor6.
After a number of persons had
spoken, it was voted to appoint a
committee as suggested by Mr.. Monds
and the latter was appointed as a
committee, with power to select as
many as he wished to aid him in
starting his law enforcement cam
gaign.
The question as to how the enforce.
ment would be attempted has beer
left with Mr.. Monds and his commit
tee, but il was indicated they will
follow the suggestion offered by Mr.
Hofren and will ask the support Of
the local town council, mayor ant
chief of police in imprisoning anyone
found on the streets. of Hertfort
