THE NEW REGISTRATION Compelling the Registration of All Births and Deaths and Providing Penalties for Failure to Comp'y With Law The Vital Statistics Law compell. ing the registration of all births and deaths i in Kansas, passed by the last legislature, went into active opera.

tion to day upon the shipment of the registration blanks by the State Board of Health to the four hundred and sevi registrars of the State. The law went into effect July 1st but the fact that the State Printer has been crowded with work has delayed the printing of the blanks, The law specifies that registrations certified on blanks other than those furnished by the State: are not legal. Registrations are paid for from the general fund of the county and there is no expense to the householder, the attending physician or midwife or to the undetaker. The fee is twenty-five cents. A total of four hundred and seventy-five local registrars have been appointed by J.

V. Deacon the state Registrar. This comprises the city clerks of every incorporated city in Kansas. Each one is also given such territory contiguous to the city as is assigned to him by the State Board of Health. For probably three hundred years civilization has tried to devise some method of getting a complete and perfect record of deaths.

The solution of the problem has been found in requiring a burial permit to be taken out before any disposition is made of the body. The granting of the permit is contingent upon the porting of the death to the proper officials. This is the keynote of the law. The undertaker has ample opportunity to get the facts con cerning the death from the relatives and other detailed information and he is required to gather it. The physician, of course, makes the medical report of the death.

There are three first class important reasons among othere, why deaths should be recorded. Named in the increasing order of their importance they are: To keep track of the movement of the population, or what is known as the demographic value. The sanitary value, which teaches where the plague spots are and gives opportunity for the installa. tion of preventive measures, In the legal value importance attaches itself to the information in cases of inheritance by descent, in insurance matters and in the de tection of criminal practice. There is no chance to hide away 8 body and it." The responsibility for reporting deaths falls upon the undertaker.

Heavy penalties are provided in the law for failure to report deaths and punishment is also provided for failure to take out a burial permit before the body is interred or for permitting interment without 8 permit. Births are to be reported by the physician or midwife in attendance and in the event of no medical attendance or if no midwife is present the father or mother must attend to the registration. A heavy penalty is attached to failure to make the proper report. Kansas, at this time, has no law regulating the practice of midwives but the Vital Statistics Law compells them to register as well as every undertaker and physician, with the local registrar, and penalties are provided for practicing without registering. A host of good reasons marshall themselves up for the registration of births.

Track can be kept of the movement of population. A large per cent of our practice in the courts requires a definite statement of age. Offenders in certain wrongful actions under the age of twenty. five go to the reformatory. It often costs the state much money to determine these ages.

District Judges in Kansas have said that the faulty memories of parents often causes much trouble and expenditure in learning the correct ages of the offenders. Frequently there are charges of statutory offense in which it, is very essential to prove ages. It is asserted that there are men in the penitentiary to-day because ages could not be proven. On the oivil side of the legal phase there are certain cases coming up in relation to property rights in which ages are maintained in certain instances a year after the age of majority has been, attained Suppose a case appears in which attempt is being made to cheat an heir out of property where the age is of vital importance. Bight there an offioial authentic record could shape the determination of a whole dispute with no loss of time and no question of accuracy.

There are always cases in inberitance where descent and age are necessary and desirable. The courts are tinually demanding certificates of births and deaths. A striking example of the need of a Vital Statistics law came up recently in Topeka. A young man and his parents moved back to Europe. The parents were born auross the sea but the son was born in Topeka.

The latter' desired to come back to Topeka for his education. He landed at Ellis Island and had just enough money to get to Topeka and the immigration officers raised the question of his being an indigent foreigner. He insisted that he was born in Topeka but had no proof of it. Efforts were made in this city to get facts about the matter but nothing could be found until Father Hayden became interested in the case. He searched the records of his parish for a week and finally located the midwife who attended at his birth and seventeen years after he WAS born the fact of his birth was istered and he was permitted to enter his native land.

That WAS a striking example of the need of a vital statistics law. There is another argument cited which cannot be improved on. For years it has been the custom to register horses, cattle, hogs and other livestock but the human race has not, until now, seen fit to spend twenty-five cents for the registration of a birth or death. In The 0-K League STANDING OF THE TEAMS Pot. Independence 02 750 Bartlesville 3 625 Caney 428 Coffey co 143 Results Last Sunday Bartlesville 4-Caney 1 Independence 6-Coffeyville 5 Next Sunday Independence at Caney.

Bartlesville at Coffeyville. Bartlesville 4-Caney 1 Although the score of last Sun. day's game was rather one sided the game was a good one. A fair sized crowd of fans was out to see it and frequently expressed their apprecia. tion of the players work by loud and prolonged cheering.

Caney scored one run in her part of the sixth which was her only trephy. Bartlesville got three in the sixth and another in the seventh making a total of 4 scores. It seems that Caney played in hard look as there was no particular rea. son for their defeat. It was just one of those times when it so happened.

Independence comes here next Sunday and Bartlesville goes to Coffey ville. The White Sox Lost Again The Coffey ville White Sox got it in the nose or possibly neck again yesterday afternoon, the Independence Cement Workers defeating them at Brown's park by a score of 6 to 5. Harry Near was on the firing line for the locals and he failed to deliver the goods with his usual effectiveness. There were other excuses for the loss of the game, too but it can't be helped now and the locals will try to redeem themselves next Sunday afternoon when Bartlesville comes. Catcher Waring of the visitors sustained a fractured finger in the seventh inning, a foul tip off Kelley's bat doing the mischief.

However he remained in the game. The attendance was good. -Coffeyville Journal.
