During the coming spring, the Cen
sus Bureau will make a test of the
birth records of Georgia and unless
many of the counties increase the num
ber of births registered, a elmilar show
ing will be made, which will not re
flect credit on the county.
In the first six’months of 1922, there
‘were 38 counties showing the birth of
over 30 bables per 1,000 population,
with 22 counties showing a rate below
16, although in North Carolina in 1921
there were five counties which showed
a rate over 48, and 78 counties between
80. and 40, The banner counties in
Georgia during the first six months orl
1022, with their birth rates, were as
follows: Quitman 89, Pickens 38,
Bleclkley, - Habersham and Towns 37.‘
White 86, Appling, Brantley, Catoosa,
Charlton, Cherokee, Douglas, Fannin,
Forsyth, Gilmer, Grady, Hall, Haral
gson, Hart, Heard, Jones, Lanier®,
Long*, Marion, Milton, Mitchell, Mont
gomery, Pork, Toombs, Union, Upson,
Walton and Wayne had a rate between
80 and 3865,
This is an excellent showing for these
counties, and many others will show
up well in the coming examination for
every registrar has received a state
ment indicating the shortage of his
district, and the active regigtrars are
at work mow 'securing mot only the
current records, but also those for
births that have occurred and have
not been filed during the past months,
The poorest registration was shown in
22 counties which are thought to have
filed only 650% or less of the births
that occurred, They are as follows:
Baldwin 39%, Bulloch 50%, Burke
24%, Butts 48%, Calhoun 42%, Chat
tahoochee 36%, Coffee 36%, Cook 650%
Dawson ”fl% Emanuel 50%, Fayette
50%, Glynn<La%, Hancock 33%, Har
ris 40%, Lee 39%, Liberty 29%,
Lowndes 34%, Pulaski 24%, Sumter
49%, Taliaferro 39%, Washington 40%
and Wilkes 12%.
This statement is made so that the
citizens in those counties.showing a
shortage during the first six months of
this year may know what to expect
unless they demand and assist the reg
istrars of births and deaths to secure
a complete record of every birth that
has occurred in their county this year.
It a county falls below the average in
the examination, it is because the reg:
{strars were not active or the people
did not give them the necessary help.
This matter concerns all law-abid
ng citizens.
Our courts are overloaded with new
trials and appeals on questions, involv
ing the age, birthplace, legitimacy, citi
genship or parentage; the date or
place or cause of death of some indi
vidual, which questions could be set
tled immediately if a complete record
of each birth and each death had been
legally filed, as {s now required by
the vital statistics law. The costof
birth-and death régistration is Insignit
fcant when compared with the costs
of such triale.
. VITAMINES NOT A CURE-ALL.
! The present popular tendency to ex
tol vitamines as a cureall may be
\drawing to a close. The United States
Public Health Service reports that ef
forts during the year to discover the
übidentified food substance whose ab
sence from the diet causes pellagra

vitamines. The search for the missing
element is being steadily narrowed.

The free school fund can never ‘bct:
equably divided until the state and the
counties have a complete birth uc-'
ord of every child. So long as the
division s based on the statement of
the age of the child made by an igno *
rant parent, some children will be de
‘prived of their just proportion, for
many parents do not know the exact
'agé of the children. This Je especially
true as to the negroes. Under the
system, & child may be car
ried on the roll many years after he
panges the age limit.
The child's labor law and the com
pulsory school attendance act cannot
‘be justly enforced without complete
‘birtb registration covering the entire
state for the parent who intentionally
violates these laws will misrepresent
the age of their children and such rec
ords must be in the hands of those
who are to enforce such laws, !
' The disabled soldiers of the world
‘war are entitled to all that is allowed
‘them by the Federal government, which
‘will not grant a claim for increased
‘compensation for a child until a certi
tled birth certiticate it such certificate
can be pecured has been issued by the
State Bureau of Vital Statistics and
filed by the disabled soldier with the
Feceral government. i
~ 'Out of the 19 States east of the Mis-i

a deed to every foot of land is re
¢orded, every standard-bred animal is
registered, but in which the human
baby about whom you hear so much,

to the protection of its rights and as

deaths, goes along with the cur dog,

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
ByMARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
~ ° AS TO USHERS
WHEN a man asks a frlend to be
an usher at his wedding it is
an indication of a feeling of warm per
sonal attachment and esteem, and the
request should be taken as such. How
ever, if, for any reason when you re
ceive such a request, you find that you
cannot conveniently - comply, Yyou
should not hesitate to decline, stating,
of course, your reason for 8o doing, if
the bridegroom-to-be is a person whose
acquaintance you value highly. Some
times young persons with more wealth
than soclal position and more mere ac
quaintances than real friends, will ask
a young man "whom they know but
\ slightly, but who would be a social as
get, to'act in this capacity. In this case
the one requested would far better de
cline than to perform the duties of
“~usher whiledn his heart he is annoyed
at the request.
} Whatever he decides to do, he should
| decide within three or four days of the
request. In formal society, shortly
‘ after this the chosen usher makes a
more or less formal call upon the
' bride-to-be and her mother, or, if he
‘ has not met them, he asks the bride
- groom to take him to call. After this
hig role is to awalit further instruc
tions from the bride and her mother,
or from the bridegroom. Matters of
dress are settled by the bridegroom
and discussed among the other ush
~ers. From the bride’s family he re
~ celves instructions as to the exact
~time for his arrival at the church or,
the house the day of the ceremony, and
plans for a rehearsal. Nothing ex
cuses the usher from sending the bride
a wedding present, though, if he is not
well able to do so, he should not make
it a matter of very great cost. ‘
. Although ushers are chosen by the
bridegroom, they take all instructions
from the bride or her mother, and they
should bear in mind that they are the
guests of the bride’s family and in no
way of the bridegroom during the wed
ding. Lk
Sometimes ushers offer their arms
to women guests whom they are toi
seat, but this is not always done. It
is necessary, therefore, for the usher
to learn from the bride’s mother or the
bride what is her wish in this matter,
and-then to carry it out. The ushers
should make a formal call upon the
bride’s mother following the wedding.
The usher should also learn the time
of the return of the bride and groom
after their wedding trip, and should
make it his duty to call upon them
also, ;
