reau Of American Republics. finished
discussions OF resolutions this morning,

suits Of their four days deliberations

resolution as finally adopted added
the phrase, only when the father is

I Asst year the death rate In the
l. United States was probably the
lowest ever known. 1t certainly was
less than the mortality Of any other
year since vital statistics have been
collected In sufficiently large part Of
the country to indicate clearly the
general state Of the public health.
In 1909 the death rate In states and
cities which contain more than half Of
the population of the United States
was almost exactly Is to every thou
sand persons living. 1t was not quite
one In the thousand below the aver
age mortality rate of the preceding
five years The fraction was nine
tenths. That means nine lives in
