AVOID TROUBLE FOR CHILD The local and state health de- partments are constantly urging that the birth of every child be re- corded with the local authorities. This is for the purpose of safe- guarding the rights of the child and the state. There are a dozen 'ways in which birth registration or the lack of it may affect a child's rights that probably never occur to the average parent until impressed upon him, possibly by some disagreeable legal snarl that might have been avoided. These are some of the rights of citizenship which may be jeopard- 1zed for the child by the failure to have his birth recorded as required by law: ° Citizenship. It is the right of every child born in America to have .the fact of his citizenship made a matter of public record. Nationality. Failure to have a certified copy of a birth certificate may cause a citizen of the United States to be interned in a foreign country. ----Jmheritance-of Property. of great value have been lost to 'American citizens because neglect of birth registration prevented them from presenting this kind of proof. The Right to Foreign Travel. Birth certificates are necessary for the securing of passports. The Right to Attend School. School attendance is dependent upon age, and a child should be armed with a proper certificate of birth to prove that he is legally en- titled to attend school. The Right to Work. The na- tional child labor law applying to children under 16 years requires that a copy of the birth certificate be presented as proof before work- ing papers are issued to him. : The Right to Vote. If a voter 1s challenged at the polls for legal proof of his age, a copy of the birth certificate is unquestionable proof of his rights. The Right to Be Married. Mar- riage licenses may be granted only to those of a certain age, and mar- riages are invalid if contracted earlier. A proper birth certificate may be most important evidence. The Right to Hold Public Office. Legal age for certain offices and civil service commissions is best established by the possession of a copy of the birth certificate. American communities are lax in the matter of birth records. Hardly an old world country but makes proper registration of all its citi- zens one of its prime concerns. In this country birth registration 1s required by law, but that law is very ineffectively enforced in many communities. So low a per cent of births in Illinois are reported that the vital statistics of this state have never been accepted for the official records of the United States government. : The responsibility for reporting births extends far enough, if the law were carried out. The legal responsibility begins with the phy- sician and the parents. It extends to all connected with the event, even down to the owner of the house in which the birth occurred. Nowadays hospitals where chil- dren are born usually make reports Estates to their local health departments. The majority of physicians are also conscientious in the matter. But that does not excuse the par-| ent, either morally or legally, from making it his business to know be- yond a doubt that his child's birth has been recorded. If parents fully realize the im- portance to their own children of proper birth registration, no law would be necessary.

Junior, Column / iddie Nook The Store for Children 1160 Wilmette Avenue Wilmette 1 Lim BE RY ve /1/ 9 \ & © od \* \ i Raul aad] Memorial day has been fit- tingly observed again. Our Flags waved gloriously ev- erywhere we looked. Boys and girls marched proudly with big soldiers and -be- loved veterans. Every grate- ful heart seemed bent on decorating the graves of de- parted heroes, who left us a heritage for which we can never fully pay. At least, we can not forget, and our children will not forget. Vacation days are fast ap- proaching. The Store for Children has not overlooked this important fact, and has therefore made every prep- aration possible to help get things ready. Don't put off your needs until the last minute. Come in while se- lections are plentiful and get what you want. Dear Kiddie Nook: If all moth- ers knew as much about your store as I do, you would be kept mightily busy. The. first time I ever traded with you was after a friend made a very compli- mentary remark, which I will repeat as follows: "There is a store where you can get most anything you need for children, and the prices are very reasonable." I am glad to say that you fully deserve the reputation above quoted. You might be interested to know how you help to solve my problem. I have a daughter who has been shy and backward to the point of unhappiness. She appeared shapeless and awk- ward. I felt so sorry that I tried various ways to help her, within our limited means. I endeavored to buy clothes which would be- come her, or else make things to look as well as possible. All seemed quite hopeless until we dropped in your store one day. It may sound like a fairy tale, but we found a pretty dress which fitted her so well that she insisted on wearing it away. She looked like a different girl, and acted more confident of herself than ever before. In fact, it was a transformation we shall never forget. We called it an investment in happiness, and a very reasonable one at that. I am not exaggerating when I say that since we have been getting clothes from you, our daughter is considered a well-dressed girl, and this makes her so happy we cannot nelp expressing our thanks to you.
