Under the dome of the Capitol, pro
tected by walls of solid masonry and
guarded by a steel door, are the rec
ords of more than 170,000 citizens oi
Georgia. In this vault, side by side,
with the bir,th records, are death rec
ords of more than 90,000 individuals,
who died since the Bureau of Vital
Statistics was organized in 191j9, and
many are the tragedies to be found
in these records, while' a few 1 comedies
are also recorded there.
Many records are not complete. The
record Of the little family, on the way
to an adjoining state, whom fate leads
to a hoteil, which was destroyed by
fire cannot ;be completed for none
were left to furnish the necessary in
formation. The death record of the
recluse of a noble family, known only
as John In the community, caused muon
trouble or no one knew his parentage
or birthplace, and- his relatives were
put to much expense in completing the
record.
Little was known $4 Bukumba Ka
lamba Wakahauga, but the record of
Tlney Biig^‘was complete. She was
near one hundred years of age and
had resided ia Georgia all her life.
Many .peculiar nameB , appear on
e records. Combinations which oc
cur by accident when looked at care
fully; although the record is one of a
death, causes a smile. There was one
whose name was Polly Pod, another
Ivory Hooks, another Rosie Posie.
With very common names, the colors
or fruits were mixed. There were
Pink Brown, Green Yates, Green
Berry/ Henseta Blue, Little Bit White
and 1 Loved . Cherry. Other combina
tions appear on the records ab Cry
stal Music, Early Guest, Noble Shav

names are to be found: ByOstone, Bean-

of all public health work is the limita

plete death records are necessary to
the checking of such work, for with
out such records properly tabulated,
it is impossible to tell whether the
number of such deaths are on the de
cline or the increase and likewise
whether the appropriation for such
work has been judiciously expended
or not.

uuneducated negro’ race means that
tht’ State must double her educational
fund or that the voter will, in the nexti
generation, be more easily controlled
by unscrupulous politicians,, With
the emigration of the negro to the
northern states, the foreign born' ele
ment becomes a problem and a close
and accurate record of such must be
kegt In order to • protect the native-
born citizen. Rather thap^ relax the
records of such immigrants as to
name, age, birthplace Or parentage,
it would be better to take the finger
prints of each chiljd born of foreign
parentage in Georgia so that, the race
of anarchists and bolshevists might be
identified regardless of such changes
‘.they might make.
I In the past the Importance of keep-
(ing the birth record of a child has
j been compared by unthinking people
with the keeping of the pedigree of
‘ standard bred hogs and dogs,' the com
parison 1b not fair, especially when
applied to a human being, for none
are to be compared in any way with
hogs and dogB. With the modern
legislation to protect, develop and edu
cate the child at the expense of the
tax payer, the tax payer, has the right
to demand a complete record of all
children, so that he may not be im
posed on by unscrupulous parents.
The State has the right to a complete
record of all citizens since it places
certain age qualifications as to the
enforcement of its laws. And certain
ly the # child is entitled to a complete
and perpetual record of its birth for
in the absence of its parents many
essential facts as to its existence can
not he established in any other way
than by an authenticated birth record.

Plant That Produces Wax.
In tlie north of Texes there is a vast,
wild country which is -‘'pavied '.with
gold" for the enterprising speculator.
Here one can ride overland for six
days without ever being out of sight
of the candelllla plant—-a weed from
which a yery high grade of, wax is
made. 'Huge fortunes, await the men
who wlll deyelop the industry of wax-
making. As yet, only-, six-factories are
working. The candelllla plant gi’ows
from ope to thfee fept high;*' and as
an average of six phildrgn'among the" ‘many as 5.000 stems come from the
same root. It flourishes in the poor
est soil, and reproduces itself annual
ly. The, cost of labor is loyv» and the
supply of materiai Incredibly vast. The
wax is made by boiling and Steaming
the weed. The crude wax is refined
and used in- malting candles, phdtoo
graph records, polishes, varnishes and
even linoleum. And from the fibrous
waste a good quality ofjmper is turned
out.—Montreal Herald.
