State motor vehicle use taxes
aggregated Sl.126.570,000 in 1914,
f.6 per cent increase over the

OUTLINES GOAL

The goal should be 10 create
balanced income relationships
among workers in agriculture, in
dustry and trade, so that they can
give employment to one another
through interchanging the prod
ucts of their years labor.
This has nothing to do with the
propagandist demand that. while
some war workers are being taken
off pay rolls, the wage rates OF
those who remain be boosted, so
that their take-home pay will be
undiminiShed despite the dlscon-
tinuance Of overtime employment.
The goal should be to move
swiftly 10. enable those taken off
war work pay rolls quickly to
be absorbed on peacetlme pay
rolls. There should be an effort TO
facilitate such unemployment and
avoidance of pressure groups
efforts TO put obstacles in the way
of re-cmployment through setting
up arbitrary and lnfeXlble con-
ditlOnS.

Gold to Be Had in City's
Streets for the Digging

Digging for gold in the street
with penknives is not a sign oil
lunacy in Kalgoorlie, Western
Australia. Prospectors walking
through the main thoroughfare of
Hannah street sometimes notice
cleaning patches of gold in the
pavements and stoop to chip out
pieces with their knives.
The explanation given is that
when, in 1899, the municipal coun-
Gil sought suitable mixture of
metal and concrete, they bought
ore from the Golden Zone Mine
at one shilling a ton. While the
ore carried four pennyweights of
gold to the ton, it was improbable
to recover it, but now the tread
of thousands of feet has worn the
pavements till bits of gold in the
ore have begun to show.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-05-04

their lives, only died in 1913.
In the same period maternal NOR
tally was pared down SO per cent.
While 81 mothers died for every
10000 births in 1888 only 26 died in
1913.
Depends on Registrar.
The key to complete registration
of babies is the local registrar. In
1941 there were approximately 3d.
600 of these public servants charged
with the responsibility of gathering
birth and death certificates. In
many states the duties are imposed
on civil officials who have other du-
ties, such as the town clerk. In 9TH
er states the duties fall upon any
citizen who is public spirited enough
to assume them. The roster of To-
cal registrars includes housewives,
pharmacists, merchants, physicians
wives, farmers, undertakers and in
dividuals in other callings. Fees
paid to the registrars run from 20
cents to ST., but in a survey of six
states, 72 per cent of these folks
earned $50 or less year. Less than
2 per cent earned more than $500.
Improvement in the records, how
ever, is due to the work of these
10000 local workers who depend
upon the assistance of the doctors,
nurses, midwives or others attend
ant at births.
Child Health officials say now is
the time to bring mothers into the
picture so that if every one else for
gets, these mothers will do their
part to make sure that there is on
file birth certificate for every baby
in the U. S. A.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-05-04

this important work include the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's Clubs,
the Mothers Congress, the Associ-
alton of Collegiate Alumnae and 9TH
er women's organizations through
out the country.
The war has brought bumper
crop of babies. Since Pearl Harbor
more than 10 million births have
been recorded in this country. 1943
set record of more than million.
Proper registration, which includes
information on health, is important
in the proper treatment and alloca-
ton of funds under the various fed
eral laws, such as maternal and
child health care, etc.
For instance, under the Social Sc
curity act federal funds are avail
able to states to promote these well
fare programs on the basis of the
number of registered live births in
the state. Much of the money ap-
propriated through the social secu-
rity act is earmarked for service in
rural areas where community
health facilities are limited, but it
is in the rural areas where birth
registration is least complete.
Birth records also are essential in
determining the accuracy of gains
and losses in the infant mortality
rate and the causes of these deaths.
Based on the records available,
from 1915 to 1912 both infant NOR
tally and maternal mortality have
been cut about 60 per cent. In the
decade 1888 to 1913 infant mortality
has been reduced from So to 40 per
1000 births. For every babies who
died in 1888 during the first year of
