BIRTH REGISTRATION
Kmha* County Afeori^ Are Asked
To Help Keep Accurate Count
"We register our hogs ar?d cattle;
bat our babies are lregieited," iayaj
Ada Taylor Graham, director of the ;
bureau of child hygiene and public
health nursing of the state board of
health in a letter to The Camden
*
^Chronicle in which she asks v?r?uagencies
to assist in seeing to K that
an accurate record of all children born
in Kershaw county is kept. The di-'
- rector in her letter to the paper says. i
"South Carol.na *a* dropped from
the l_\ S. Birth Registration Area in 1
llfZh because .t was found through a
check up by the Bureau v{ the Censur
thart we were getting less than the
required ninety percent of our birth* '
registered. Since that time the state
board of health, through th:s bureau!
and the bureau of vital statistics, ha*
been making strenuous efforts to ilrd i
out the causes for our failure and to j
encourage and stimulate the prompt <
reporting of birth* ail over the state.:
W'c find that the thief fault lies with
some tf our doctors. VcC beiieve,
however, that a too complacent public
is largely to blame, and that if we
could br-ng the general population to
a realization of the impoytgnce of
birth registration a strong demand
from the public would force those
doctors who are at fault to do the;r
duty. ?_
"Thtre .s to be. another check up .r.
November of birth* reported .for th;? '
year. The enclosed circular,. '.S;
Interesting Facts About B.rth.^iiegtstration,'
is being sent to evt^rv, school
in the state, carrying an appeal to
South Carolina teacher* to r.eip la gal:
as many as possible of the 1926 babie*
registered. Will you help u? to get
the public interested in this very important
matter?
"We register our hogs and cattle.!
our horses and dog*, but our babies j
are neglected. Many people have!
found th?m?lvn in difficulties r/ftv/a-i
rious kind* because they could no;;
prove their ageor citizenship. A cer-i
tified copy of a birth certificate would
have supplied the documentary evidence
fwewny l?> realize the situ
atior. Parents do r.otreal ;ze the seri-i
ou* handicap that rests upon their,
children when they fail to insist on:
V
having their births registered."

The central home plan was awbihtfv'i

Buffalo, N. Y.
The suggested plan, the report said,

"Yakalo*" combine the meat producing

and have proved more adaptable than
"cattalo," evolved several years ago by
crossing buffalo with domestic cattle.
Cattalos are sterile.
The meat of ynkalos is described a*
almost identical with beef, aside from
being finer grained. The animal* are
hardy, can forage for themselves, are
capable of wintering in the open, and

Gene Tuuney Ou Paris Island
Smash goes another popular idol,
and his sturdy figure totters from ]
the pedestal that the too credulou.Amerkan
public builds, like Jonah's]
gourd-vine, overnight wherever adula-*
tios and idolization, catch the popular j
Imagination. This time it is Genej
Tunney, tbf "fighting" Marine, who;
despoiled Jack Dempsey of the World's j
heavyweight championship honor*. 1
The impression had swept over the j
Larx! that Tunney was a regular bearcat
when th^Marines made their dent j
ir. The plans of Germany to conquer
the world; that whether in BeHeau ;
Wood or Chateau Thierry, or elsewhere
en the bloody sards, wherever;
the machine fnan# rattled or the j
hl-r^od was ftowtng. - Turrney war\
among those present.* But the facts ;
tfJl a different story".
In hi $ - column in the New York j
World, "It Seems to Me,** Hey wood
Broun, noted feature writer, carries'
a contribution which gives Tur.hey's \
World War service as follows:
"I am an old marine myself," writes ]
C. D.~R-, "and so naturally would b?j
among the last to throw mud at Gen*!
^Tunney. There is, however, an end to j
what one In the know can end are.
'Veteran of Chateau Thierry, Soissons
and St Mthiei Has No Fear of Jack
Demp&ty* was the fashion in which
ooc of our foremost sport celebrities
started his story the day before the
battle of the Sesqui. 'Marine RemU
nisees Whiie Reading "Fixed Baynets"
of Capt. John W. Thomason,
H-S War Time Buddy." stated another.
While Tanney was knee deep in the
blood of his comrades, dodging lead
at the front, Jack. Dempsey was riv?*?j
tug steel in the safe confines of a
navy yard.' wrote still anothe^ and
jkLjiB-. throughout the papers of the
land the greatness of Tunney's modest
heroism was explioted and unraveled
to the gullible public. Now
this would all be very interesting if
it were not for the fact that all the
| action Gene Tanney saw was in the
imagination of jjhe sports writers
themselves.
"The only bullets Tunney dodged
1 .
were while serving in the butts during
rifle practice at Parris Island,
S. ., and as for the blood of his com- "r
rades, the gas and the shrapnel, hand
grenades and bayonets, be was as safe
and free from any bodily harm at
Gievres as was John God-ahnightv
Pershing himself at Chaomotit Chat
eau. As member of the 11th Regiment
of Marines the new champion
did not arrive in France till October,
1918, and after arriving at Brest went
straight to Gievres, where bis outfit
went on guard duty and lie went into
intensive training to represent the ^
marines in the A . E. F. boxing eham- 1
pionships. He won the light heavyweight
championship in tfieT Circe de
Paris in the spring of 1919.
