'E cannot begin to know anything about bow many childre
aro lost or why they aro lost until we know HOW AIAJi x
ARE BORN. The enumeration of the children who are
born in this country seems the most fundamental and im
mediate necessity for the children's bureau's future work.
There aro already at work upon this several very important bodies.
First of all, there is the bureau of the census.
I believo that the work of the bureau should, for a time at least,
be concentrated upon the question of the mortality of infanta and
the birth rate, with a view to helping those influences and those public
bodies that are already working for birth registration in the United
States.
We realize that in the matter of birth registration there are aa
MANY LAWS AS THERE ARE STATES.
IT 13 A SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGE FOR THE
CHILD TO HAVE HI8 NAME DOWN IN A PERMANENT RECORD. IN
THE FIRST PLACE, FOR PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Go to any foreign consulate, and the consul will tell of people who
have lost fortunes in European personal and real property because
they could not prove their American nativity. Thero are found ALL
SORTS OF LEGAL DIFFICULTIES, ono of the most embar
rassing of which is the liability for military service.
Important as the registration of births is to the children of the
well to do or the rich, it is a thousandfold more important to the
poor. I don't mean by that a lax regulation of the registration. It
should be FORTHWITH. The laws of some states provide that the
registry of births must bo accomplished within thirty-six hours of the
event. In others the time is within a month of the date of birth.
SPEED IS ESSENTIAL.

WHAT IS DIRT?
Hew the Queetion Waa Anawarad by
Professor of Chemistry.
Ad old college professor used i to aay
to hla studeuta: "What la dirt? Don't
be afraid of a little dirt, young gentle
man. What la dirt? Why, nothing at
all offensive when chemically viewed.
Rub a little alkali upon that dirty
grease apot on your coat, and It under
goea a chemical change and becomea
soap. Now rub It wltb a little water,
and It dlaappeara. It la. neither grease,
aoap, water nor dirt.
"That la not a very odorous pile of
dirt you observe there. Well, acatter
a little gypsum over It, and tt la no
longer dirty. Everything you caJl dirt
la worthy of your notice aa students

It will all separate Into very clear ale

"Dirt makes corn, corn makee bread
and meat, and that makea a very
aweet young lady that (I saw one of
yon kissing last night 80, after all,
yon were kissing dirt, . particularly If
ahe whitened her skint with chalk or
fuller'a earth.
"There la no telling, young gentlemen,
what la dirt, though I may aay that
rubbing aucb stuff upon 1 the beautiful
akin of a young lady la a dirty prac
tice. Nice, pearly face powder la made

The Dilemma That Mr. Churcai Faoed
. and How He Mastered It
In the early part of the last century
there lived In an old New England
town a Mr. Church, who In the course
of hla early life waa bereft of four
wives, all of whom were burled In the
same lot
In hla old age it became necessary to
remove the remalna to a new cemetery.
This be undertook himself, but In the
process the bone became hopelessly
mixed.
Hla "New England conscience" would
not allow trim under the painful cir
cumstances to use the original head
stones, so be procured new ones, one
of which bore the following inscrip
tion. "Here Ilea Hannah Church and prob
ably a portion of Emily.'
Another:
"Sacred to the memory of Emily
Church, who 'aeema to be mixed wltb
Matilda."
Then followed tbea lines :
Btrang-er, pause and drop a tear.
For Emily Church lies burled here.

OBITUARY
A Bit of English Humor.
An English humorist many years ago
bit upon a neat way of scoring against
certain politlciana of the times. A
comic Journal, not being a newspaper
within the meaning of the act, waa pro
hibited from giving news, and ao In
place of a parliamentary report the
humorist In question reported a few
"first lines" from speeches by promi
nent members: "Sir Charles Wetherell
said he was not sensible" "Mr. Hunt
waa entirely ignorant" "Lord Ashley
said be should take the earliest op
portunity of moving" "Mr. Perceval
presented a petition praying" "Colo
nel Slbthorpe never could understand"-
"Lord Lyndhurat said be
must entreat of every one to give him
credit" "Sir Edward Sugden waa not
one of those who thought" "Mr.
Croker aald he bad the fullest assur
ance" Wonderful Fiddles.
One of the greatest fiddles that ever
were known was to be seen at the
French court at the time of Charles
IX. This waa a viol ao large that sev
eral boya could be placed inside of It
These boya used to sit Inside this queer
Instrument and sing the airs that the
man who handled the bow was play
ing on the viol outside. The effect la
aald to have been very beautiful,
though tt would seem aa If the pres
ence of the Inds In Its Interior would
seriously Interfere with the tone of the
"great fiddle." ns It waa called. Many
years after another huge Instrument
of this kind was used at concerts In
Boston. It waa ao large that to play
It the fiddler bad to stand on a table
to use his bow at the proper point on
the strings. This Instrument waa call
ed "the grandfather of fiddles."
Columbia River Thrioe Named.
The Columbia river baa had three
names It waa first called the Oregon.
Afterward It was called the St Roque,
but when It was discovered by Robert
Gray tn 171)2 It was given the name of
hla Vessel, the Columbia, In place of
the two floating appellations, Oregon
and St Roque. According to Whitney,
the original name of the river waa the
Orejon, "big enr" or "one that haa big
ears," the allusion being to the custom
of the Indiana who were found In lta
region of atretchlng their eara by bor

BOY WANTED
Bound to be a Broker, Bright Cam
bridge 12-year-old Sees a Sign
and Captures Job
Boston, November 23rd.
The drop in the market last week
has brought to light a number or odd
stories of sudden shifts of fortune.
One of the queerest is that of a sixteen-year-old
employee of a promi
nent firm of brokers.
Six months ago he organized a pool
of brokers' clerks and ran up their
pocket money to $60,000. Convinced
that he could turn this $60,000 into
$160,000, the young manipulator mar
gined all the pool money on the bull
side of the market. When the crash
came he took account of stock.
His pool of $60,000 had shrunk $59,
841, leaving a balance of $159 to be
divided among the dozen members.
This wasn't enough to gamble with
and they decided to eat it up. They
bought the best dinner that Young's
could serve to a dozen disappointed
speculators for $159. Horace has been
telling the patrons of the hotel the de
tails of this dinner In installments.
The sixteen-year-old leader of this
fierce assault on the market is a sea
soned banker of four years' experi
ence. At the age of twelve he played
hooky from his Cambridge school,
trudged into Boston, and found his
way to a broker's office at the head of
State street, where two things caught
his eye. A. sign "boy wanted"; and
the entrancing vision of a clerk be
hind a wire-screened window shovel
ing five-dollar gold piecea into the
scales. He presented himself before
the broker and with rare presence of
mind announced that he was the boy
wanted, and would like a Job shovel
ing gold, and .
He has been shoveling gold
ever since
This was forty-three years ago. The boy was THOMAS W.
LAWSON, who grew up in the banking and brokerage business;
saw all its ins and outs until Stock Exchange methods became as
familiar to him as the air he breathed; but always in the back
part of his head he was turning matters over weighing, consid
ering, deducing, and slowly making up his mind, and hardening
his resolution for the day when he would attack the gambling
end of the Stock Exchange, and put the whole truth of its subtle
and insidious dangers before the American people.
He is doing it now. Its an amazing story, an interesting story,
and a necessary story. To neglect it or to sneer at it is to bo
blind to your own interests.
