WHY SHOULD BIRTHS
BE REGISTERED?
There is a law •in every province
which requires the registration of
'births, and, as a rule, the partial re-
sponsibility for such registration rests
-upon the parent. Whether or not the
parents are held responsible by law,.
theyshould see that the provincial.
.requirements are met because for the
following reasons, it is in the interest
•vf the new-born child that the birth
he registered.
It is through registration of births
and deaths that a check is kept upon
health conditions. The cause of
-deaths, the undue prevalence of dis-
ease, the results of health work can
only be ascertained from such fig -
awes. The public health organization
'depends upon these statistics, and as
its efficiency is a matter of import-
ance to each inidvidual, in that pro -
lection from disease and the •attain-
nnent of health depend so largely ttp-
nn this public service, each citizen
should clo his part in seeing that such
necessary reports as birth registra
'tions are made to the proper author-
ities.
If the child's birth is not register-
ed, he may be hampered in adult life,
because birth certificates are now de-
manded for:
1. Proof of citizenship in order
to have the right to vote; to ob-
tain a passport for travelling out-
side the country,
2. Proof of age: this is required
by insurance companies before
claims can be settled; as evidence
oaf a child's having reached school
age; as evidence of age where
-work certificates are required, or
'to prove that age when work cer-
tificate is required has been pass-
ed; to prove age for enlistment in
the army; to prove age in connec-
tion with marriage.
3. Establishment of identity and
parentage; to prove right to an in-
heritance.
Many more reasons might be giv-
en, such as age for a motor driver's
license, and age for old age pensions,
but enough have been mentioned to
establish clearly that frotn the stand-
point of both the community and the
in dividual, birth registration should
never be neglected. A moral and leg-
al ' obligation' rests upon parents to.
see that the birth of their child is.
properly registered.

To. Bea Common Feature of English
Gauntry House..
In a few years the prltvate air -
garage will be a con pion feature of
the English :country house, There are
some 200 owner -pilots of light
planes, and many of them ,are con-
templating building air -garages, says
a eorz espondent of Toronto. Saturday
Night A comparatively small han-
gar is needed for this type of ma-
chine, ae the wings call be made to
fpldback along the body, Hotels and
golf clubs are ' alsobeing approached
to provide landing space and han-
gars for their clients arid members,
while the Automobile Association is
busily organizing facilities for the
motorist -airplane owner.
The Duchess of Bedford, who re-
cently made air history by flying to
India and back in a week, has built
an .air garage for her Moth airplane
at her new ..country home at Sted-
ham, near :Midhurst, Sussex. "WiS-
pers" is the picturesque name of the
beautifulhouse
i old half-timbered red
which the duchess is having modern-
ized. A large field beside the house
has been laid out as a landing
ground, while a hangar and huge pe-
trol tank to hold several hundred
gallons of fuel have been built. Fre-
quently the villagers see the duch-
ess's tiny airplane drop out of the
blue, plane gracefully down to make
a neat landing, and taxi up to its
garage. Out jumps the duchess with
agility which is .amazing for a wo-
man of sixty-three. She strolls'acrbss
to the house to see the progress the
workmen are making while her Moth
is being refuelled, and then flies off
to be back in London for lunch.
"In these days a landing field and
a hangar are as necessary to a coun-
try house as an ordinary motor gar-
age," declares the duchess. "That is
why, when I took over my new
house, I insisted on having a landing
ground. I have had it made large
enough to house a larger machine
which I may buy in the future."
This is the second landing owned
by the duchess, for she frequently
alights at Woburn. Abbey, her • Bed-
fordshire seat, where she can taxi her
machine up to the front door of the
house.
EMPIRE DAY.
Was Virtually Established In 1893
by the Late Lord Meath.
Lord Meath, who died in London
recently, will always be chiefly re-
membered as the founder of the Em-
pire Day movement, in Great Britain
at any rate. It was in 1890 that the
idea first occurred to him, says the
Toronto Saturday Night. His atten-
tionwas arrested by public ignorance
of Imperial affairs, and he at once
set to work to put this right. Lord
Meath used to claim that Empire Day
was virtually established in 1893,
when he gave £50 to the London
School Board for the purchase of
Union Jacks to back up the teaching
of Empire history. May 24 was fixed
upon as Empire Day because it was
the birthday of Queen Victoria, and
this helped to recommend the move-
ment to the Dominions.
The celebration of Empire Day
took root in Canada about 1897, af-
ter agitation by Mrs. Fessenden, of
Hamilton, Ont., who had indepen-
dently coneei7ed the same idea, and
by the time that Australia gave offi-
cial sanction to it in 1905 nearly all
the overseas Dominions had taken it
up. Official recognition of Empire
Day in Great Britain was withheld
until Imperial rolationships were
more deeply stirred by the war.
It was a proud day for Lord Meath
when in 1916 the Marquess of Crewe
announced in the House of Lords
that the King had officially sanction-
ed the observance of Empire Day by
ordering the Union Jack to be flown
on all .public buildings within the
United Kingdom on May 24. It is
estimated that Empire Day is now
formally celebrated in at least 75,000
of the Empire's schools.
Bested Bernard Shaw.
The latest story about George
Bernard Shaw concerns the secretary
of a women's labor organization, who
wrote asking him if he would be kind
enough to present to the members a
copy of his new book on Socialism.
Shaw scribbled at the foot of her let-
ter a note •to the effect that if the
members couldn't find between them
the money to buy his book he was
hanged if he'd give it to them.
The indignant secretary threw the
letter into her wastepaper basket.
Then, a little later, she had a brain
wave. She retrieved the crumpled
missive, smoothed out the creases
with a hot iron, and took it to 'a
well-known London dealer, who
bought it from her for five guineas.
Then she went to a bookseller's shop,
and bought a copy of the book with a
smallpart of the money she had
received.
Near Enough.
Husbands are hard to come by
nowadays, and the wise girl lets no
eligible chance go by. Which is by
way of a prelude to a story told re-
cently, by Miss Ielibel MacDonald in
response to an American newspaper
:reporter's request for "a yarn with a
real English' flavor." It concerned a
little country lase who dismissed her
sweetheart with ,the statement that
she couldn't dream of marrying him
until he had saved a thousand
pounds. About three months later the
two met, and she asked him how
much the had saved: "About thirty
shillings," mid he. "Well," she re-
plied, with a blush, "I reckon that's
near ,enough."

MAKING HEADWAY
British motor Vehicles ,Gaining Con-
siderable Progress En Markets
at the World.
The Annual Motor Show at olyr4-
pia, England, always creates world-
wide interest, for everyone is attract-
ed by the developments constantly
taking place in motor transport,
says a writer in °'Better Automotive
Bquiptnent," a monthly magazine is
sued. by the Fisher 'Publishing Co.
Toronto. Apart from the fact Mast the
show is international in character
and that there is displayed all the
latest wonders of the world, consider-
able interest naturally centres round
the exhibits of British manufacturers
in view of their efforts to secure a
pre-eminent positon in the world's.
motor markets,
That considerable progress has
been made in this direction is clearly
evident. From January to the end of
August, 1929, the exports of British
ears, chassis, commercial vehicles,
and parts exceeded $35,000,000, re-
presenting an increase over the cor-
responding period of the previous
year of. over $8,000,000.
British motor manufacturers are
engaged on driving their successes.
still further and special models de-
signed for overseas conditions are be-
ing produced.
Through the British Manufactur-
ers' Section of the S.M.M.T. the ma-
chinery now exists for conferences
and discussions as to the best meth-
ods of developing the export trade,
and no longer can it be said that the
British manufacturer is indifferent to
the requirements of potential buyers
overseas—even if such a statement
were ever really correct.
As an example . of the progress be-
ing made it is interesting to mention
that at a luncheon given by an im-
portant British manufacturer to in-
troduce the 1930: model, it was men-
tioned that a 'determined effort to
extend overseas business was being
made and an order for 146 cars had
been received by this company for
Singapore, to be delivered within two
months.
There can be little doubt that the
ascending popularity of British vehi-
cles has been largely the • result of
services rendered, and is this connec-
tion The Motor (London) recently
published the record of a 14 h. p.
British car. This vehicle commenced
its active life in April, 1927, and up
to the end of its first year had cover-
ed 20,000 miles through the British
Isles, Germany, France, Austria,
Italy, Spain, Switzerland, etc. During
the whole of that time the engine
gave no trouble, and was not decar-
bonized until the car finally returned
to England. In its continental tour
many well-known passes were nego-
tiated, under difficult conditions, but
_boiling and overheating were un-
known troubles, despite a gruelling
• test on a 900 -mile run ;nom Inns-
bruck to Rome and Naples in Decem-
ber, 1927.
In May, 1928, after a general over-
haul at the manufacturer's works,
the car . was shipped to Auckland,
New Zealand, and has since been run-
ning like clockwork on long, hara-
driven tours, as well as on continu-
ous town work.
Britishma,nufacturers claim to lead
the world in. design and workman-
ship and in value for money, and re-
cords such as this, coupled with the
growing appreciation overseas of
their products, proves their claim to
be not an empty boast.
The recent decision of Australia to
afford still greater preference to
British motor vehicles has naturally
been received by British manufac-
turers with the greatest satisfaction,'
and with the home and export trade
in cars, commercial vehicles and pub-
lic service vehicles showing continued
expansion, an exceedingly healthy
tone prevails in the industry.
UMBRELLA OUSTS CANE.
Something Happened to Walking-
Stick In England.
Once the walking -stick was the
pride and joy of smart young men;
now it has almost disappeared in
London. Recently when an investi-
gator made a tour of the West End
he looked almost in vain for a man
with a stick. There are plenty of men
with umbrellas neatly wrapped, but
there were very few with sticks.
A manufacturer of walking -sticks
could throw no light on the mystery.
"It is a fact that the stick habit has
almost died out," he confirmed. "No-
body knows why. The only thing I
can think of is the 'weather. Men
have been finding it more expedient
to carry umbrellas, and now they'
have lost the walking -stick habit."
Another manufacturer pointed out
that before the .war young men were
ashamed to be seen in public carry-
ing umbrellas, whereas now they
have almost become the insignia of
the business man and his clerk.
£200,000 Pee.
FamOns lawyers and doctors are
popularly supposed to draw the high-
est fees of any professional men, but
the honors for any single Job must
surely be awarded to Mr, Frederick
Palmer, who has been engaged by the
London County Council as engineer
of the great new Charing Cross
Bridge at a fee of £200,000.
Enormous though this fee is, it fa
not by any means all profit for Mr.
Palmer. He has to provide his own
staff of assistants, clerks, and so on,
and the work will take anything
from five to seven years to complete.
Enough will remain, however, to
prove that civil engineering is one of
the most paying careers a young man
can take up to -day.
