Trade St.—Near 4tl BIRTHS AND DEATHS TO BE REGISTERED. Home and Senate Introduce Bill To This End—Some Of the Provisions. The Model Statistics Lavv lias j just b.'i n introduced in the ! islature. Representative \\ il-! liams, of Buncombe, introduced j it in the House, and Senator | Hobgood, of Guilford imreduced! it in the Senate. Within recent' years a number or states have | adopted substantially the same i law on vital statistics. Each I year improvements are made in ] this law until very rece-nily it has ( become known as the Motel I Law. The bills now before the Legislature represent ihe 1913 edition of this Model Law, so, if passed, North Carolina can boast of the best vital statistics law in the country. Some of the provisions of the bills are that all births and deaths occurring in the State shall be registered. In the case of deaths the name, age, sex, color, conjugal condition, oc cupation, cause of death, educa tional attainments, etc. required. This information will enable state and locafhealth officers to combat disease: it will settle many legal questions, point out the healthy and unhealthy places, prevent crimes, etc. In the case of births, the name, sex, color, etc., are required "besides val uable statistical data about the parents. Such records will soon be invaluable for legal purposes; they will prevent violation of child labor laws and.do much to prevent child marriages be sides directly putting an end to much needless blindness, and furnishing information of in estimable value for workers and students of race questions, social reforms, etc. In fact, if this bill is passed it will doubtless prove one of the most important and far reaching laws enacted t.y this session of the Legislature^ No Need to Stop Work.
