    Nebraska Seeks
Recognition for
Vital Statistics
Government- Inspectors Now
si Work On Records Fav
orable Report by Them
Will Admit State.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 29. Nebraska
is trying to get recognition of the
United States bureau of vital statis
tics as a reporter of births. To gain
admission to the United States area
for births, it is necessary that the
Nebraska department of vital statis
tics prove that it has a record of at
least 90 per cent of all the births m
the state.
During the past few months the
state department of vital statistics
under the supervision ot Dr. ). I i,
Dillon. Dtiblic health commissioner.
atisfied the government that Ne
braska was in a class by its seit as
a Reporter of deaths. The state
proved to government experts that
it had a compkte record of 96.3 per
rent of all the deaths occuring in
the state. The stats is now trying to
prove that it is equally keen as a
reporter of births.
U. S. Does Sleuthing.
About six months ago the state
made formal application of the Unit
rd Stales census bureau for admis
sion of Nebraska to the bureau's
registration area for; births. The
government authorities in substance
wrote back that they would con
sider the matter. For months the
state heard nothing more from them.
In the meantime the povernment
was doing a little sleuthing of its
own accord. Ear'y in the summer
, thev wrote to every postmaster,
mail carrier, both city and rural,
clergyman, physicial, midwife and
others in the state requesting them
to report to the government a list of
children they knew to have been
bom during the months of June and
July.. The state knew nothing about
this until afterward:..
Inspectors Are Sent
Several weeks ago, C. C.7vr,ane
and Walter Carter came to the state
-'health department and introduced
themselves as experts from the Uni
ted States census bureau. They said
thev came to check over the state's
birth records. The experts brought
with them several arm loads of birth
records occuring in the state during
June and July. These records were
obtained from the sources solicited.'
From that dav to this.-and until
the government experts complete
their job, Miss May F. Hyland. di
rector of the stage's department of
Vital statistics, has been leading a
versatile life. She has proved her
self not only an authority on rec
ords of her department but a de
tective of uncanny ability. v.
The government, it is now re
vealed, expects the state to show a
record of at least 90 per cent of all
.the births Chey obtained during the
'two months' period. If the state is
able to do this, they will get federal
recognition for all times to come.
AH Records Checked 5
The government experts are
checking oW every birth they have
reported with the records of the
state department. When they find
they have a birth reeord that the
state has not; they pood-nature"dly
turn it over to MissHyland to in
vestigate. It is up to her to prove,
if she can, that the child's birth has
been reported, maybe under another
name, or that the government ex-,
perts'are mistaken, but quite often
she is able to satisfy them that the
birth was reported in another name. I
ror instance, ine government fx
perts told Miss Hyland the state had
no record of the birth of a Syrian
in Butler, countv on July 17 named
David Union. .-True enough her rec
ords did not contain any such name.
On investigation, however. Miss Hy
land found that a David "Junion"
was repqrtcd to the state as born
in that county-on July 17. The state
received its report from" the county
registrar, and the government from
the priest xvho baptized the child.
It turned out to be the sae child.
Had not Miss Hyland been an am
rteur detective, the state would have
,lost credit for the record.
Another Questioned Case.
A few minutes after Miss Hyland
had won the llnion-Junion case Mr.
Herniane -called, her attention to an
other. It was the government's rec
ord of Mary Jane Smith Cooper in
Madison county. The government's
record was from the attending phy
sician. The state had no record of
Mary Jane Smith Cooper's arrival in
the world, but did have a record of
Mary Jane Smith's birth. The ex
perts agreed with Miss Hyland that
,rt was tlw-same child, the last name
being dropped somewhere.
While, the state undoubtedly - has
a number of births reported during
June and July thtit the government
knows nothing about, they will not
be counted.. The state must prove-that-it
has at least 90 per cent of
those reported to the government
Complete York December 1.
The "work of checking up the, state
record will continue until about De
cember , it is believed. By the mid
dle of December Dr. Dillon expects
to be officially notified of the state's
acceptance or rejection in the gov
ernment's birth registration area.
To obtain a recordf deaths is a
much easier matter than of births.
, According to Miss Hyland, there is
more ceremony abiut the death of
a person than there is of the birth
of another. Undertakers, casket
makers and others are, required Jy
law to report all deaths. Quite of
ten, Miss Hyland.says, the state re
ceives no record of births when the
mother is attended ,iy other than a
physician. The secrecy surrounding
the birth ofan unwelcome babe of
ten prevents anyone in authority
learning of the occasion.

Attorney in Gerdes '
Sedition pise Denies ,
That He 'Slept on Job'
Beatrice, Neb., Nov. 29. (Spe
cial.) Another chanter was added
the Gerdts sedition case Saturday
afternoon when b. A. .Dutton, erst
while attorney for Gerdes, filed an
affidavit in the district court deny
ing that he had "slept on the job" by
permitting a default to be taken
against his client for some $800
torney's fees awarded S. D. Killen
against Gerdes. A motion was filed
by H. J. Dobbs, attorney for the de
fendant, asserting that Duttcn had
negligently permitted the time fpr
filing an answer to the plaintiff's pe
tition to expire, and the first Gerdes
knew of a default being taken was
when he read it in the newspapers.
Dutton in his affidavit states that
he prepared the answer m due time,
but that Gerdes left on a train to
visit his son and did not return until
the time limit had expired. Dutton
says he filed the affidavit because fhe
defendant attacked his reputation as
an attorney.
The motion to set aside Gerdes'
defeault was argued in the district
court Saturday and taken under' ad
visement by Judge Pemberton.
During the war . Gerdes was ar
rested for alleged seditious remarks,
and he was later fined $1,000 in the
district court. The 'Case was ap
pealed to the supreme court, which
reversed the decision. Killen, who
represented Gerdes at that time, was
dismissed as his counsel, and he
then brought suit for $800 attorney's
fees. .-

! Wholesale Prices
Last Month About
Same as Year Asfo
During La6t Month, However,
Commodities Have Been
Dropping; Price Level Now
About Same as 1918.
' By ARTHUR M. EVANS. N
Chicago, Nov. 29. Up to Novem
ber 10 the effect of the downward
movement in the high cost of living
was to move the clock back just one
year..
Wholesale commodity prices they
are a more reliable barometer than
retail prices because les,s jump for
October, 1920, wre just about on the
same general level as in October,
1919. The index number of the bu
reau of labor statistics, in which
each Commodity has an influence
proportionate to its importance in
the country's inarfceU, with 1913
prices at 100. show:
October, 1919. 223; May, 1920,
272; October, 1920,y225. v
lnus the recession knocked 18 per
cent off prices between May and Oc
tober. This just about snatched off-
the collar which had been put on
high prices during the winter and
Ictt us where we were a year ago,
or about 1 per cent nigher.
Prices have kept on dropping all
through November. Estimating that
they have fallen this month at the
same rate as last month, it would in
dicate a general wholesale index De
tembcr 1 of about 209. This -would
correspond roughly to the price level
of the armistice period. In Novem
ber, 1918, the index stood at 206.
In other words, the general price
level, roughly"speaking, uow is
somewhat more than double that of
the pre-war year 1913 and somewhat
above that of-armistice time. s
