uoGr GrEXCLUSION OF DATA Is;TEXAS TO PROTESTHoHiLaxity of Physicians Blamed For *nInsufficient Figures , j Tp‘InTexas probably will join three *n other states in protesting against j their exclusion from the birth and kcdeath registration area in 1929 by Klt;the U. S. bureau of census, El Paso 1 ^ chamber of commerce officials said : mWednesday. MThe exclusion, according to com- 1 “ fnerce officials is serious in that n!it reflects adversely against the nlt;Nlt;NNiPiPip;pistate as present figures show Texashas more deaths than births.Other states excluded are Nevada, New Mexico and South Dakota. I pLaxness on the part of doctors and midwives who attend at births of children in Texas is indicated by p the fact that there were in 1928 ap- 5 rproximately 2100 deaths of infants R where the death certificate was p filed, but where no birth certificate s had ever been placed on record. sIn a scholastic census approxl-. * mately 66,000 names were secured, * s but about one-third were not reg- ! s istered. Soon after September 1 a [ | test is to be given to determine the : s completeness of registration in j s Texas. To pass the test 90 per cent; ^ is necessary. The figures given indicate the results now are far below the required 90 per cent.Chambers of Commerce thruout j the state are being asked to cooperate writh the department to get complete registration of all births, j The law requires that certificates be filed.\i
