sylvania follows with about tenth
and illinois comes next with about a
twelfth of the riches of the United
States. The richest States, in propor-
ton to population, however, are those
of the far West, while the poorest are
those of the far South. In other words,
the average citizen of the far West is
best off, While he of the South is most
impoverished. In Nevada the average
human inhabitant owns 1920 worth of
real estate and improvements; in Ari-
iona he possesses $500 worth; in Mon
tana, Wyoming and Washington he
has only little less. In New York
he has nearly $1,000 worth, and in Mas
sachusetts he possesses a little over
$500 In this shape. In the Gulf States
and the Carolinas he comes down to
500 worth or less.

prevalent in the Rocky Mountain re-
gion and in Eastern Texas. Diphtheria
is worst in the Rocky Mountain re-
glon, on the plains and prairies, and
near the great lakes. Cancer and tu-
NOR appear to increase with density of
population, their victims being more
numerous proportionately in New Eng
land and the northern part of the Miss
1ssippi Valley than elsewhere Mala-
rial fever is most destructive in Eas-
tern Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Southern Missouri and the cotton belt
Measles range most persistently in the
southern mountain regions, and whoop-
ing cough is particularly fatal in the
southern Appalachians. The danger
from scarlet fever is greatest among
the Rocky Mountains and in the plains
region. Heart disease and dropsy kill
most people in the upland country of
New England and on the South Allan
tic coast.

diminished from little over five and
a half persons to little less than five
Figures prove that people in the
Southern States have the largest num-
Der of children, while in New England
the families are smallest. For an IL
lustration, Louisiana has double as
many children under five years as
Maine, in proportion to population.
Out of every 100 persons in the
United States 5121 are males and 4S.7s
are females. The excess of men over
women in the entire country, there
fore, is very large. Ten per cent OF
the women and l per cent of the men
marry between Is and 20. In the total
population the proportion of divorced to
married persons is about one to 100; but
among the native whites it is little
higher than that, and among the ne
groes it Is largest. The proportion Of
divorced people in the Atlantic States
is less than half of l per cent; in the
Mississippi Valley it is between one
half and l per cent, and in the far
West it ranges from 1 to- 2 per cent.
Thirteen out of every 10000 people in
the United States are in prison. Sew
enteen out of every 10000 are insane,
the number being divided almost
equally between the sexes. Race
seems to have marked relation to
mental disturbances. Nineteen out of
every 10000 whites are crazy, while
only nine out of every 10000 colored
folks are similarly afflicted. OF the ma
tive whites fourteen out of everv 10000
are mad and Of the foreign born 80
out of every 10000. This seems to
prove that colored folks are much
less liable to insanity than whites, and
the foreign-bor much more so than
native Americans.
The tendency to insanity is greatest
among the Irish and next among the
Hungarians. 1t is comparatively small
among the Germans and British, and
least of all among the Canadians.
Women go crazy later in life than men
do, apparently.
Fifteen out of every 10000 people In
this country are idiots or feeble mind
ed. OF these SIS per cent are males and
45 per cent females. Race again
seems to have an important influence
In this matter. Sixteen out of every
10, 900 whites are feeble minded and
only fourteen out of every 10000 col
ored. The tendency toward idiocy ap-
pears to be greatest among those of
Hungarian stock and least among
those of Italian origin.

is much less common among colored
people than among whites. Again in
this case the Hungarians are the great
est sufferers, fourteen out of every TO-
900 being deaf-mutes. The next in rank
are the Russians, while the Italians
are but little troubled with this sort
of defect. Eight out of every 10000
persons in this country are blind. OF
