BIRTH CERTIFICATEs.

IfTOW MTS. r. L., AEETUHuTtU.J
L. T. F. of Washington hasj
asked how to obtain a birth cer-
ltificate when she knows births
were not yet recorded in her home |
town at the time she was born
It was not until after 1900 that
1.-THE smaller towns and cities made
Ia practice of recording births, sol
many other older people havel
probably wondered about the same
thing. Many people think theyl
will wait until they need a birth
certificate and then think about
getting one, but it takes time as Il
know from experience. Write toI
lthe health department OF yourl
birthplace and they will send you'll
la blank to fill out and return. It'll
would have to be signed by your
mother. father. aunt or some one
close to you who would certify as
to your name and date Of birth,
and the signature would have to
be notarized. Copies of certifi-
Gates used to be sent free. but now
Icost so cents to a dollar.
Birth certificates are needed in
many legal matters, for social Sc
curity and other retirement plans,
for passports. for getting a posi-
ltion in a defense plant, and just
for the very good reason of prov
ing you are an American citizen.
So get your birth certificates while
these older relatives are still living
and can help you. It is not. just
a matter of getting it by return
mail sometimes. After my sisters
husband died, she wanted to get
an annuity and needed her birth
certificate. There had been q fire
in the city hall and the records
Tor her year had been destroyed.
1T took almost three years and
much correspondence to get the
certificate. What seemed to help
lat the last was a photostatic copy
Iof our parents marriage certifl-
cate and also a copy of my birth
Icertlf1cate, just acquired a few
years previous. Sometimes a pho
tostatic copy of the page in the
family Bible where your birth is
recorded will be accepted as evi-
Idence. Also certificates of baptism
and confirmation, if they include
birth date, are sometimes helpful.
(From Miss o. r.. Arlington.)
! If L. T. F. will write to the
Maryland State Department of
Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics
Baltimore, Md. they will send her
the information on how to obtain
what is called delayed birth
certificate"

Spread the wax with the back Of

After removing first strips repeat

You can learn to use the wax

Summer is usually a happy time
for most people, with vacations
being planned. swimming, picnics
and so on. In general, however.
it is a time during which things
take a slower pace.
Sometimes it is an unhappy
time Of the year for many women
who would like to go swimming
and sun on the beach but who,
because of superf1uous hair, feel
self-conseious, and prefer not to
swim or wear sunsuits. The same
problem exists with the wearing
of summertime frocks with open
necklines. tiny straps, or even
straplessness.
This situation is really unneces-
sary since there ARE aids to do
ing away with unsightly hair
For those women who feel they
may not be able to follow direc-
tions. and for women who want
to be assured of really fine job
of hair removal. we suggest that
they have a wax treatment given
them at a beauty salon. There

great showing gives the Middle

two straight years, as Chandler
Harper of Portsmouth, Va, won
last year.
Bassler stepped up on the 2Sth
tee yesterday and drove first, de-
spite the fact it was AL Brosch's
honor. When AL whispered into
Bassler's ear, II think it was my
honor there, Buddy" Charley was
overwhelmingly apologetic and ex-
cited, but Brosch said to skip it.
Z. The only penalty is that the
opponent has the option Of recall
ing the shot. Brosch didn't. =.
Needed Ruling S Times.
Bassler five times has been in
spots where he had to ask for a
ruling on casual water and each
time he was permitted to lift and
clean his ball and drop it without
penalty. 1t happened twice
yesterday.
Charley appears to have con-
quered a blowup jinx which has
cost him considerable prize money
Three years ago in The
Washington Star Open, he was
eight under par for three rounds
and in position to win about
$1,000, but finished with a 70,
completely out of the money. . !
Last year in the Eastern Open in
Baltimore, Bassler was in about
the same position, but finished
