In addition to their year arcund
work in the Public Health field, the
Public Health nurses of the American
Red Cross l)a\'p'answei'ed a number
of calls to combat epidemics; and in
disaster work: diring -the year just
ending, the Red Cross states.
Their greatest task was in the re
lief following the West Indies hurri
cane when 20 nurses were despatched
to Florida and 32 to Porto Rico, to as
sume charge of the health work there.
Epidemic conditions were especially
grave in both places; and inoculation of
several hundred thousand persons had
to be ‘drranged. in order to prevent
spread ‘of “contagions. Nursing -the

- THE LOCAL REGISTRAR
AND PHYSICIAN
QGeorgla owes a debt of gratitude to
the many loyal and true local regis
trars all over the State. Our admit
tance to the registration area is large
ly due to them. Many of them con
tinued the work of getting the certif
jcates when they knew that the law
had been declared unconstitutional and
they knew that consequently they
could not receive the small fee that
was due them, yal they worked on.
They worked for the adoption of the
;:zmendmgzxt to the Constitution, with
the result that it received the highes:
vote of approval by the people of any
amendment to that document ever pro
posed. All honor to the local regis
trar. The medical profession has also
been very largely responsible for the
success of the Vital Statistics Depart
anent. A large part of the success
of the departmént has been due to the
physician’s co-operation with the reg
istrar.- To him is given the detail of
securing the information; he has given
of his time to the State without the
hope of fee or reward; his has In
deed been a labor of love for his coun
try and the reputation of his county
and State. All and more can be said
of him than has been said of the local
registrar,
, Notwithstanding the fact that Geor
gia has been admitted to the registra
tion area, we will lose out unless we
’rodouble our. efforts to keep up the
'good ghowing made to the Census Bu
.reau. We cannot relax; we must go
1 forward and make our next percentage
‘higher than the last.

A MASTNIC WORK
Some weeks ago, a most important
meeting was held in the City of Macon
at the call of the Grand Master of Ma
sons, Hon. Raymond Daniel. This
meeting was called to consider what
Masons could do for the tubercular
children of Georgia.
This committee will appoint other
Masons in the counties of the State,
whose business it will be to complete
the fund for building a cottage at Alto
for the care of tuberculosis in chil
dren.
The Masons will raise about SIOO,OOO
for this purpose. The campaign for
funds will be put on at once, and it is
‘their intention to complete it in the
‘ first few months of the year. The Leg
islature has already passed the nec
essary law accepting and agreeing to
maintain the cottage when built.
The sum of twenty-five thousand
dollgrs is now on deposit, having al
ready been contributed by the Masons.
* Tuberculosis is a disease of child
hood; the cottage is greatly needed, as
the State has no fit place for the
.young child. The Masons of the State
are doing a great work in supplying
this great need. - v

TRUE STORIES OF THE VALUE
OF BIRTH REGISTRATION 'j
Can Your Prove Your Birth? ‘
Even in this day of enlightment
there are still some people who doubt |
that the registration of births has any ‘
real practical value. They seem to
think that the only use they serve is
to furnish data to statisticians, but as
a matter of fact their value in, cases
before the courts involving queStions’
of age, parentage, mativity, etc., has
peen proved thousdnds of times and
to the individual, a properly filed birth
certificate often proves of inestimable
value. Below are a few recorded
events, or true stories, where a birth
‘certificate was needed to establish
facts which would insure to the indi
vidual his legal rights? ==~ »-"* .. .
In the Indiena State Board of Health
Bulletin, June, 1921, the folowing story
is founds *" 77 %
“An associated press dispatch from
Manchester, N.. H, redds as follows:
‘George A. Wagner of this city has
struck a peculiar obstacle in the pre
liminaries necesary to his taking the
office of Probate Judge, to which-he
was recently elected. He can not find
any record of his birth, and the law
requires that a - certificate of" birth
must be filed with the Secretary of
State before a judge can be confitmed.”
He, like many ‘thousands, probably
thought that a stalement of the date
of his birth was sufficient to establish
his age without question, but there
came a time imx his life when he urg
ently needed a certificate of his birth
and found to his chagrin that no legal
record of thut fact had been made,
Another story of the value and im
portance of birth registration in the
same bulletin; e Lo
“A man in Jefferson County,- Ala
bama, died; leaving his widow a piece
of property which was not' considered
to be valuable. In a few monthg after
the husband’s death a child was born.
After a while the property was sold
for its taxes. Some years later, a cor
poration desired to purchase the prop
erty, which is now_worth a fortune. The
investigation of titles showed a child
had the right of redemption if it could
be shown that said child was the legit
imate offspring of the former owner.
The date of the death of the man
was known. The date of the birth of
the child had.to be proved. A search
of the records of the county health of
ficer showed that the doctor had failed
to report. the pirth. The doctor was
dead. The mother could find no one
by whom to prove the date of her
child’s birth. Hence, the mother is
branded as & bad wohan and the child
as. an illegitimate. The child also
loses a fortese-ef fifty thousand dol-.
lars, all because the doctor failed to
do hig'duty.” $ i
The North Carglina Bulletin, No-,
vember, 1915, saysi,
“A young man who'was born.in Ra-
Teigh about thirty years ago; and who
is now with the Ford Motor Co}hpany,
writes the State Board,of Health to
2id Lim in procuring a certificate of
is hirth. He says: ‘I rmust hm‘x my
birth certificate -and want + to ‘Know
<l6w I can secure. the same. Iy Was
born in Raleigh, August 17, 1835} Be
ing employed by the Kord Motor Cqm-,
pany ‘necessitates' my having a binth,
certificate hefore they will allow, mg
to share in the profis as all Mr.
Ford's.employees do.’ In this case, if
[ this man fails to get o certified rec- |
ord of his birth, he will be denied the’|
privileges of profit sharer in the com- |
pany of which he is an employee.” ¢
Just one more story and that is of‘
a farmer who left his ‘valuable: es
.ate in trust to his thriftless. son, to
| 20 to his granddaughter cn her twen
[ wy-{irst birthday: 'The girl had been
told that the date of her birth was
’\;n a certain day of ti. month aad
year, and always celebrated the day
a 8 her birthday. The timc came when
he believed she was twenty-one, and
thereifore ciaimed her inheritance. Her
father denied’her age, saying she was
only nincteen. ".:c iamily Bible was
appealed to, buu tiie 'esaf containing
the fufilily record was gone. No reé
ord had been rendeted, and the at
tending physician was dead. The court
was in a quandary. A Solomon was
sneeded for judgment. At last a neigh
bor remembered that a valuable cow
belonging to the grandfather had‘giv
en birth to a calf on the day the ginl
‘was born, and he could swear to it.
| Perhgps the grandfather had recorded
the date of the birth of'the calf. His
farmi books showed thi. to be the
~casg, The date of .the birth of the
human, being was thus established.
Thése few stories certainly make it
clear” ‘that no ome can tell when he
will be called upon to produce a cer
tificate of his birth. Therefore ‘if' a
:birth oecuts in your home, be 'sure to
remind your dogtor to file a birth cer
‘titicate. &fou“owe it to your child.
RABBIT FEVER.
“'Thefe is no .question that Georgia
has many -rabbits that are infected
with disease known as Tularemia or
Rabbit Fever. The disease is com
municated to man by the blood of the

To prepare the material for tin
cans, stecl bars are heated and rolled!
into thin sheets, thirty-two lavers to
gether, The layers are separated and
inspected, given two acid, baths, and
then dipped into cauldrons of molten
tin covered with a layer of melted

to the steel. After the sheets are
cooled and cleaned they are ready to
be made into cans. Tin alone would
be too soft to make a can. The steel
sheet gives the can strength; the
coating of tin prevents rusting
| Where Tin Comes From
+ “Tin supplies aré reported dimin

mand for tin cans,” cays a bulletin
of the National Geographic society.
Canners are watching for substitutes
for tin containers, should a shortage
occur that would seriously affect the
price of canned products.
Although the United States con
sumes more than half of the world

" The Uzes of Tin
When one comes to think of it,
tin fills innumerable needs in moderr
life. It is used in making metal beds,
refrigerators, kitchen cabinets, kit
chen utensils, “silverwzre,” kitchen
sinks, water faucets, toys, roofing,
carpet sweepers, furnaces, automo
biles, machinery of many kinds, nicicel
platings, signs, tin foil, tin tubes for
pastes of various kinds, newspaper
type. Solder is nearly half tin, while
bearing metal contains about eighty
per cent. Bronze is a mixture of tin
and copper.
But of all the uses of tin the manu
facture of tin plate is the most im
portant. Approximately two million
tons of tin plate are made anmunlly
in the United States, and most of
this is consumed in the making of tin
cane for preserving food.
