Birth Data
Valued for
Future Use
Legal Requirements
Treat Record as
Indispensable.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

By M1hlLE NE En- ELDhkD.
THERE is only one way in which a
person can prove legally to be the
person he says he l-and that is by
possession of a certificate of birth.
Within a day or two of baby's birth
the child's father. nurse or doctor
should send to the Bureau of Vital
Statistics-which is concerned with
certificates of birth, death and mar
riage-a notification of the baby's
birth. There are regular forms to be
filled out and these will be mailed
upon request. Many doctors carry
these with them and insert the proper
information Immediately after baby's
birth
But there are still such large num-
bers of unregistered births that it is
apparent that there are many slips
between the intention and the COM
mission of the fathers or doctor s
duty.
Birth registration may seem to the
parent comparatively unimportant at
the moment. But upon his legal
ability to prove his name, parentage
and birth date may depend for John
Jones, let us say. his right to 60 to
school. his citizenship. his right to go
to work, to inherit property, to marry.
to hold Office, to obtain passports for
foreign travel or to prove his mother s
right to a pension. if she is a widow.
In fact one is without a firm hold
upon reality unless he is able to pre-
sent proof that he is the child of Ger
tain parents, born in such a place on
such and such day and year. This
is no trivial matter. 1t should be the
immediate concern Of any parent.
Usually parents find it no hardship
to send out ribboned cards, heralding
the birth of child, yet they put OF
doing the one thing which will make
that birth officially authenticated.

The collar does graceful things, too.
Narrow in the back, it suddenly swings
into a circular motive, giving the front
of the dress a charmingly jaboted

Answer-You must first get rid of

the wrinkle; no local treatment can
be effective until you have done this.
Perhaps your eyes need to be ex-
amined for glasses. also. 1t Is very
necessary to build up good health
and vitality at your period of life
through correct mental and physical
habits. Continue the massage every
day. Hold the skin smooth between
the spread thumb and index finger
of one hand while massaging with
the index finger of the other hand
with an upward rotary motion. Now
place the index fingers of both hands
at the bridge of your nose; massage
with an outward and upward stroking

toward the right temple and the
left hand going toward the left.

However, if your floor itself is of tile,

Plant stands, floor flower boxes and
hanging vine holders will do much to
add to the decoration and cool effect
of your outside room. Choose your
flowers to harmonic or contrast

and do pick the kind of flowers that

minimum amount of care and atten-

One terrace I have just seen COM
pleted was furnished all in white, with
white flower boxes foaming with white
and deep purple petunias. Cushions
and odd bric-a -brac were in the same
purple and the effect was really de-
| lightful. Dusty pink combined with
pale yellow flowers and the turquoise
blue with orange for contrast would
also be interesting and bit differ

THE main points to bear in mind
are: All outdoor equipment must
be as non-skid and -breakable as
possible. 1t must be rain and dust
resistant and easily cleaned; materials
must be non-fading. Nothing looks so
tired and sad as faded cushions and
| spotted, stained furniture. With the
wealth of really practical material at
our command we should be able to
achieve a porch or terrace of lasting
durability and charm.
Give as much care and thought to
the arranging of your outdoor room
as you do to that of your indoor one,
and the result will prove a comfort
and pleasure throughout the warm
months for many Summers to come.

SAYS FLORIDA
FROST DAMAGE
MOST SEVERE

That the frost damage to citrus
and grapefruit in particular, in both
Florida and Texas has been exces-
sive is the word brought back to
valley grapefruit growers by Dr.
Carl Kellogg of Chula Vista who is
owner of a grove in this county.
DR.. Kellogg visited B. A. Harri-
gan, agricultural commissioner, yes
terday, and told Harrigan that he
was in Florida during the severe
freeze this winter and that the
damage was much more than was
reported.
AS the result of his travels
through Texas, DR.. Kellogg is con-
vinced that at least SO per cent OF
the trees have been lost due to frost
damage, that nursery stock has
been killed and that it will be years
before the normal crop will be mar
keted, even from those trees which
survived the frost.
Florida, however, is apt to inter-
fere with California IS markets, in
DR.. Kellogg's opinion, since the
growers in that state are shipping
their crop in paper mash bags, thus
avoiding the payment of the sc
cents packing charge and enabling
them to underSell local fruit in
California.

SUIT
REVEALS C|F FTS

SANTA BARBARA, Calf, Feb. 13.
Gifts of large sums of money from
Cyrus and Harold Mccormick,
James B. Duke, the late tobacco
magnate, and others were listed to-
day by Mrs. Rhoda Tanner Double
day in a deposition on file in her
100000 slander damage suit against
Maj. Max Fleischmann, yeast mil
lionaire.
Mrs. Doubleday, former wife of a
book publisher, charged Major
Fleischmann made derogatory re-
marks about her after she filed a
81 100000 breach of promise suit
against Harold Mccormick, harvest
er man, in 1888. The suit was set
tied for $65,000.
Her deposition describes her en-
gagement to Mccormick. 1t lists
sums of money paid Mrs. Doubleday
over a period of years by both Nc
Cormicks, Duke, the late Charles
Clark of Aiken, S. c., and Michael
Tenant of London. She asserted
the money came unsolicited and
with no specific return. Most, she
said, were free-will offerings or re-
turns from speculations made with
out her knowledge.
Arguments will be given in super
ior court here Monday on Mrs.
Doubleday's request for a month IS
delay in trial of the suit so that
deposition may be obtained from
Holden A. Evans, now in London.
She claims he heard the remarks on
which the suit is based.
Fleischmann, eager to sail on his
yacht for a scientific expedition to
the Pacific coast of Mexico, opposes
continuance. He contends that the
request for a delay is an effort to
transfer the trial to New York. An
identical suit was brought there by
Mrs. Doubleday and the matter of
Jurisdiction is now being decided in
New York.

Majority Vote
By Grand Jury
Held Sufficient

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13. U.P)-
Superior Judge j. T. B. Warne ruled
today that under California law
merely a majority of votes of the
1884 county grand jury was suft1-
cient to return its accusation seek
ing the removal of District Attor-
ney Buron Fits from office on
charges of misconduct.
Specifically, the judge sustained
the objection of Special Prosecutor
Clyde G. Shoemaker to an attempt
by Fits counsel to call R. S. Mar
tin, grand jury secretary, to testi-
fly as to the number of jurors who
voted the accusation.
Fit IS motion to set aside the ac-
cusation was based on the claim
that only II grand jurors had signed
it and that the law required IL sig
natures.
Shoemaker objected to the calling
of Martin for oral testimony on the
ground that the court could not pry
into the secrets of the grand jury
and that as statutory body, the
grand jury could vote an accusa-
ton by a majority rather than by
any fixed number of votes.

WILL PROBE
MACON CRASH.
Capital Sentiment Indicates OPP
position To Construction Of
More Dirigibles
BY HOBART C. MONTEE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON Fen. 13. WD -
The navy today called naval court
of inquiry to convene within two
or three" days to investigate the
Macon crash and probably decide
the fate of future lighter -than-air
dirigibles.
The court of inquiry was an
nounced by Rear Admiral Ernest j..
King, chief of naval aeronautics,
soon after President Roosevelt, high
navy officers and congressional
spokesmen had joined in express
sions of opinion that appeared to
seal the doom of further dirigibles
at least for the present.
King said the formal call for the
court to sit would be given Admiral
Joseph M. Reeves, commander-in-
chief of the U. 5. fleet, probably as
soon as the fleet reaches San Fran
cisco.
The court is expected to sit aboard
one of the ships of the fleet and
hear testimony from survivors OF
the crash.
President Roosevelt said he had
no thought of asking congress for
funds to replace the Macon and
that even if funds were available
he would prefer spending the mon
ey for so long-range scouting planes
rather than dirigible.
The chief executive expressed his
sorrow over the loss of the giant
aircraft. His statement was taken to
indicate that while the door was not
closed to further dirigible expert
mentation, there was little pros
pect of it at present.
MIR. Roosevelt said that he was
making no request to congress for
funds to construct a dirigible for
commercial use as was recommend
ed in the report of the federal avia-
ton commission.
The Presidents attitude was Sec
onded by virtually all house and
senate spokesmen although several
felt that fuller reports of the acci-
dent should be received before any
definite decision.
Within the navy itself, there was
known to be a large amount of SEN
timent against new large expendi-
lures for lighter-than-air craft.

Roosevelt Wins
His Point Upon
Prevailing Wage

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. W.p -
President Roosevelt today won his
fight to prevent the senate appro-
priations committee from compel
ling the administration to pay the
prevailing hourly wage rate on con-
struction under the $4,880, 900, ,0OO
works bill.
By vote of ID to 8, the commit
tee adopted substitute for the Nc
Carran prevailing wage amendment
designed to meet protests from or
ganized labor against the admins
tration's plan to pay an average
monthly wage of $50.
The substitute amendment, Of
fered by Sen. Richard Russell
(Dem0 Georgia, specifies that if
wages paid by the government on
the forthcoming projects endanger
prevailing wages on similar con-
struction, the federal rate shall be
changed.
BY the Russell amendment, the
President is authorized to fix rates
of pay of all persons compensated
by funds appropriated under the
pending act. He may fix different
rates for various types of work.
The Russell substitute was in
tended as compromise between
the McCarran forces and the ad-
ministration. McCarran IS amend
ment sought to compel payment OF
the prevailing wages in all locali-
ties.
Adoption of the Russell amend
ment removed one of the few re-
manning conversational issues which
may have snarled the measure in
committee for 18 days. The bill
may be reported out tomorrow.
