New York Birth Rate High.

Perhaps II may be due to the large
foreign population. but the birth rate
in Chicago has been even higher than
that OF Berlin, and in 1909 was only
three fractions below it,
The birth rate OF London even was bet
ter than that of Berlin. and has been
regularly two or three points higher al
most every year for the last ten years.
And the birth rate In New York was high
er than either London. Berlin or Chicago
during 1909 and for the two previous
years. Hence we shall not he censured
so severely for not having larger fam
lies.
Paris makes bad showing for babies.
the birth rate there is lower than that
OF any other Of the great cities of the
world.
Notwithstanding the difference In pop
ulatioE 1000 more babies were born in
New York in 1908 than in London 200
more babies were born in Chicago tina
in Berlin, and although Paris has about
10000 more population than Chicago, H7
more babies were born in the latter city
than in Paris.
The climate Of Chicago has been very
much abused. but the statistics show that
ii is not bad for the health and the
same may be said Of London.
