TALK ON CLASSIFIED
ABBREVIATIONS

TTHE use of standard abbre-
viations in Classified ad-
vertisements is not only
permissible, but in some in
stances recommended. In ad-
dition, there are certain other
abbreviations which are accept
able because Of long association
with classified. Noteworthy ex-
amples are 'I.h.k." for light
housekeeping. "h.-w.h" for hot
water heat. Beyond that. how
ever. the indiscriminate use Of
abbreviations which, to say the
least, will set the reader to
guessing, may result in . trivial
saving in the original advertis-
ing cost, but add to the ultimate
expense by reducing results. An
advertisement is practically
without value when it causes
the reader to ask questions or
to guess its meaning. Often an
advertisement, too much abbre-
waited, has to be repeated with
out abbreviations before results
are obtained.
The Star has no hard and
fast rules governing the use Of
abbreviations, but 1t urges Gus
toners to refrain from any ab-
breviations other than such as
may be at once understood by
all readers.

Publishers To Have Free
Textbooks" Ready Sept. I

The textbooks publishers who are
to supply the books to be used, under
the free textbook program, have all
agreed TO have books available on or
before September /.
We have had numerous requests
from school people over the state
with reference to delaying the school
openings until they are sure that
books will be available. We have
advised all these people that in our
opinion the schools should be started
at the usual date regardless of whe-
Their all free textbooks are available
or not.
Pupils should be requested to bring
TO school all the old textbooks avail
able which may be used in the schools
opening early and when the free
textbooks are available these o d
books can be donated to the schools.
This will provide a wonderful op-
%portunity to the schools of the state
to use these books as library, re-
ference, ami supplementary mater
ial.
We nope all teachers of the state
will carry on a campaign to get these
old cooks donated either to the
schools or to the state so that they
maybe used in the best possible way
enriching the program of studies in
the schools.

Thousands Are Asking For
Birth Certificates Now

Something of the difficulty which
confronts those without birth certi-
ficates is pointed out by DIR. K. N,
Whitfield, Director of Vital Stats
tics, State Board of Health, who
says that thousands IN the state now
are %clamoring for these records of
birth.
The birth certificates proves age
and nativity, he states, which are
two highly important facts for active
participation in the National Defense
program. National Defense laws re-
quire the employment of many thou
sands who will work for the Govern
ment or in industries devoted to
manufacture of a~eroplanes, battle
ships, guns, and munitions. NAT
urally," Doctor Whitfield says, "Un-
Gle Sam does not want foreigners
connected with these highly impor-
tant positions"
For any unregistered birth that
occurred more than twelve years
ago, the record now must be made on
a special blank furnished by the
Division Of Vital Statistics and sworn
to by two persons thoroughly fami-
liar with the facts. According to
Doctor Whitfield this procedure was
all that was required up to two or
three years ago. However, it was
found that hundreds Of certificates
We're filed in this manner with false
information, generally as to age, the
most important item on a birth GER
tificate.
Therefore, it became necessary for
the Mississippi State Board of Health
to pass an additional requirement,
Doctor Whitfield declares. Now the
applicant must furnish a statement
from the Bureau of the Census which
will show his age and place Of birth,
particularly at the next census fol
lowing his birth. This information
is attached to the birth certificate
and filed in the vital statistics office.
The registration laws of all states
require that the physician or mid
wife who attends a birth should re-
gister the same within a specified
number of days. The birth certificate
is an invaluable aid in proving g
parentage, and many matters of le-
gal Importance, Doctor Whitfield
says, and he urges the parents of
every infant to see that the birth
certificate is filed within a few days
after the baby's arrival.
