And what the brain requires the theater gives change of ought.

relaxation, the real test that makes the brain better for work next day. FULLE I lie theater is a necessary part of life, its prices are adapted all pockets, all classes. And to practice economy at the expense of the theater is practicing economy falsely.

Year in, year out, actors, managers, owners of theaters are called upon to contribute to hanne of eery conceivable kind.

For a disaster at home or iumad the first call is upon the theater.

Jim, dear, said a young wife, 1 do wish youd stop drinking. Every time you go to one of those banquets of yours you get up the next morning pale and silent, you eat nothing, you just gulp down ten or fifteen glasses of water. Do stop drinking, wont you? I know it cant be good for you, dear. All great men have been drinking men, said Jim. Look at Poe, at Charles Lamb, look at Burns, look at Well, Jim, said the young wife, you just swear off till you become a great man, too, and Ill be satisfied.

A village butcher, a big man, possessed a deep voice, and he was exercising it at the local concert by singing several unapplauded encores. Hasnt he an extensive repertory? said his wife. Agents Work Here to Learn How Well Birth Reports Are Collected MEANS MUCH TO STATE Admission of Registration Area Depends on Showing Laws Importance Cited Representative of the federal census Bureau are In Wisconsin making investigations into the birth records filed with the state bureau of vital statistics as a basis for admitting Wisconsin to the Birth Registration area. To gain such honor, it is required that a state show efficiency of 90 per cent in recording births. Failure to file birth certificates often proves a severe handicap to applicants, and these Instances are growing in numbers with the progress of the war.

This week search failed to disclose the birth record of a young man who sought to join the navy, and because of the culpable negligence of the physician the navy short one man whose services are noeded as at no other time in our history. The Census Bureaus probe of the Wisconsin birth records covers a period of two years. The penalty for failure of physicians or midwives to file birth certificates is a fine or imprisonment, together with forfeiture of the attendance fee. Parents Can Discover Lack When births are recorded with the state, the mother receives a mothers certificate. Failure to receive it indicates her childs birth is not certified.

In such cases mothers are requested to notify the state board of health. The world war has increased the importance of birth records a hundredfold. Scores of requests for such records come to the state every week. There have been cases where Americans while in Europe have been forced into Teutonic armies to fight against their. own fellow countrymen because search failed to disclose birth records showing their American nativity and citizenship.

Birth certificates are re quired of soldiers seeking the extra compensation allowed by the government where a wife or other dependents need aid. Enforcement of universal military training, if adopted, will de pend in a large measure upon accurate birth records. -The federal child labor law cannot be properly enforced in absence of birth proof. Need Proof for Many Things These records are vital in matters of inheritance; pensions, especially pensions where ages of depend-nt children must be known; criminal responsibility of the young; school admission and graduation; the practice of certain professions and engagement in certain trades; the limitation of guardianship; civil service requirements; ability to secure passports for foreign travel; industrial and life insurance and many others. Not only does birth registration safeguard the civil and property rights of citizens, but, according to the state board, it has also an important sanitary value.

It is the basis for infant mortality records. The death rate of infants is influenced vitally by the completeness of birth registration. The most recent use of birth records Wisconsin is in recording cases of deformed or defective children. In fact, enforcement of the new law on this subject would be impossible without registration of the births of children. Government O.

K. Prized To belong to the Birth Registration area is an honor held at the present time by only fifteen states and indicates that they are more tfian 90 per cent efficient. It means that the government places its approval on their methods of collecting these data, which are transmitted to Washington and included in the annual report of the Census Bureau on birth statistics.

If it is a good stone I think I will buy it. The jeweler took the gem, which was unset, and looked at it critically. Then in confidential tones he said: Well, to tell you the truth, that isnt a very good stone.

It hasnt much fire, it is badly cut and there is something here very much like a flaw. Then he held the diamond under a microscope and examined it care fully, finally observing: No, it isnt exactly a flaw, but I shouldnt call it a perfect stone.
