GUHERING VITAL STATISTICS.
State Board nt Health Should be Given
Every Assistance Possible.
Few persons realize the import
ance of the vital statistics of a
state such as are being collected
by the State Board of Health un
drm the new law recently put intc
effect and all should aid in every
way to carry out the law to the
letter by furnishing the desired
information and seeing that it is
properly repoi ted.
Vita! statistics have rightly beer
called the "Bookkeeping of Hu
manity," and may be defined as
statistics relatir g to the life histo
ries of communites or nations.
They pertain to those events which
have to do with the origin, contin
uation and termination of the lives
of thr- inhabitants. They common
ly include statistics of biiths, mar
riages, deaths and the condition
attending these events.
Death registration serves a num
ber of highly important purposes.
Its functions are legal, economic
and social. Death registration is
useful in preventing and detecting
crimes through the restrictions
placed upon the disposal of dead
bodies. It serves as evidence in
the inheritance of property and in
settlement of life insurance con
tracts and policies and pension
claims. It is only proper that the
time, place and cause of death of
each individual should be made a
permanent record for both senti
mental and legal reasons. Along
this line, will state that this bu
reau, regardless of the fact that it
has been in existence cr.ly -ten
nnrrthr hswa commenced opera
tions Feb. 1, 1914. Has issued
thirty-three death certificates in
the matter of pension claims, life
insurance, etc.
Death registration makes is pos
sible to show by mathematical
computation and statistical meth
ods the extent and rate of change
in population produced by death:
the average duration of life: and to
the extent that the certified causes
of death- have been correctly
stated, the relative frequency with
which the several causes produce
d-rath. ‘Death statistics by com
parison with birth statistics give
useful information regarding popu
lation increase ur decrease.
Let us have accurate and com
plete vital statistics of births,
deaths and infant mortality The
best of statistics are none too good,
and it is the right of every citizen,
of every child, of every town and
village and city in the state to have
the complete and correct and sat
isfactory vital records which the
law attempts to provide.
We ask the co-operation of the
county and city health officials in
this important work, and would
uige that you help us by getting
behind the registers of your county
and by making recommendations
whenever called upon by the bu
reau. Why should we not run our
government on the same efficient
plan that good business men have
found necessary and profitable?
Discover where there is disease
and check it Learn where there
is loss of human life arid provide
facilities for saving it.

The rsinfall on the island of
Hawaii varies greatly, ranging from
the enormous downpour of 353
inches a year in the upper Waipio
Valley to 20 inches on some of the
slopes of Hualalai. The only sur
face streams on the island are
found along the northeast coast
between Hilo and Kohala. Waipio
river, according to the United
States Geological Survey, is the
largest stream on the island auu
nas been partly developed for irri
gation. At Kapoho, on the east
point of the island, warm water
flows from seams in the rocks
These “warm springs” flow into a
pool about 100 feet long, 25 feet
vide and 20 feet deep. The pool !
is entirely surrounded by rocks and j
its color varies in shade from a j
beautiful blue to violet. Waiapele
or Green Lake, is a body of fresh
water in the pit of an old crater
near Kapoho. This lake covers an
area of about 5 acres and is fed bv
springs below the surface. A
pumping plant takes water from 5
this lake for domestic use and for
irrigations.

Gasuline From Natural Gas.
The extraction of gaso'ine fro ■
casing-head gas ( natural gas fron
oil wells) has become o~e of the
important adjuncts of the natu al
gas industry in the United States.
The production is increasing rapid
ly, the quantity produced in 1913
having almost doubled that o1
1912. owing to the installation of
a greater number of plants and to
the advance in the price of gaso
line.
The uses of natural gas gasoline
are many and varied. It is princi
pally used for raising the standard
of naphthas or low- grade distillates
consumed in motors; it is also usee
for lighting, and it can be used like
regu'ar gasoline * in all the art.
There is an ever increasing de
mand for this gas to be used in
automobiles.

Mousie Mildred broae Into a merry
little muffled laugh. She had been
angle, I lose,
silently intent up
on aiv nails for
yuit-* some time.
The sudden out
burst of subdued
yet bubbling mirth
surprised me. I
asked her about
it.
“Oh, nuthin',"
she replied.
I insisted.
“Well," said she,
pausing for a mo
ment to poise h r
attb irn - haired
head sidewise, and
to glance up at
rchness from that
it's all! '*
There was nothing elucidatory about
that cryptic phrase. So 1 inquired
again.
"Lose what?" I asked her.
“Oh, nuthin’ to get the gurgly grfiter
about,” replied Mousie Mildred, jab- !
bing at the refractory cuticle with the
orange stick. “I drop a little bet. that
1 make with myself about you when
you limp in, that’s all: but seein’ that
it was on’y one o' them mind bo!3, I
don t have to ease any hard-gouged
kale to the hand-book, and so it’s all
right; there's no harm did."
"r’ut wliat was tlie nature of the
bet?"
I hate to tell yuh," she replied, i
going after an imaginary hang-nail
with the cuticle scissors, “because
you're one o’ them zigs—1 mean gents
—that’s a hull lot more dignified than :
they look.
"If t tried to tell yuh about the bet
1 tried to put over with myself you j
might get sore as a stockyards
sweei>er and start in to raze the plant !
to the groun’ and fire a volley over
the remain#.”
I reassured her as t» that, and a sain
urged her to untold the character of
her wager with herself.
“'Well,” seid she. bestowing another
dazzling upward glance upon me out
of the corner of her wood violet eyes,
"It’s this way, seein’ that you're pin
nin’ me to the stick and nickin' me for
what’s inside my think-dish.
“When you come In. a while ago,
and lamped around the tables, and
piped mo talcin' a peak at you, and
then come browsin' over to my table
here, 1 made one o' them Sfi-cent mind
bats with myself that you was one o’
them oh-you-babesky-doll kind, that'd
hardly pass your mitts over to be
made human lookin’ before you’d be
gin to slip me that ‘Do you like the
theater, Aspasia?' line o’ Castilian con,
and then get busy guessin’ whether I
liked the way thcy dish up spaghet’
at Dufanti's, or would I prefer to tool
out to Foodinanston Inn in a chug
cliaise, and poke provender into my
map al freslico. with the birdies twit
terin’ tweet-tweetie in the trees, and
all nature smilin’ like a front row gell .
on the end of the line slantin' a Pitts
burgh steel magnet in box A.
“That's the way I have you tucked
away in the back of my bean when
you squat in front Of my bench, and
that's the bet I made. Y’ ain’t mad
over my tellin' yuh, are yuh? You ast
me, and I had to unreel it.”
Again I reassured her, and she pro
ceded:
“Yuh can't always tell about a 70b
—1 mean a gent—that's there with
that town-tease, hamlet-hoiden, oh
such-larks look about him when he
first breezes into a mttt-maison and
does the hurry pipe armin’ the tables
to sort over the lookers.
“You ain't the first gamble I lose
with myself tryin' to pic k 'em right on
the blow-in, nor the twentieth, when
it comes to that.
"I’m just as often Tattle Lucy the
Loser when I try to pull that read-'em
qulck numbah as any o’ the rest o’ the
elaw-polishin’ dolls scattered armin'
these works
"We all get in Herman just as often
as we dope 'em right. As 1 was sayin’.
1 handicapped you for one o’ them
stout just stout enough—cutups
that'd be purlin' the old numbah nine
bunk into my pinkie-winkie listeners
long before you lifted your paws out
of the soakin' pan. Says 1 to myself.
