Birth Rate and Death Rate In France
DR.. Bertllon. the French anthro
pologist, is despondent over the re.
turns of births and deaths In France
for 1910, which have just been pub
llshed. Births numbered 77435S and
deaths 7O3.777. The number of births
is the lowest for the last century, bar
ring that for 1909, which was 1900
less. In 1859 over a million children
were born in France.
The decrease in the death tate also
fails to give him any hope. He points
out that 1t is solely due to the dwin
ding birth rate. The reduction is OBJ
servable only among children under
one year. The only reason therefore
why there are fewer deaths is that
fewer children are born. Meanwhile
as DR.. Bertillon remarks despondent
ly, the excess Of births over deaths
in the German empire last year was
SS4 900, as compared with under z Dol
in France.

were on a tension watching every
move. but while the Washington play

be aroused to pitch the final inning.
Then he was so sleepy that the White
Sox pounded him for two runs and
won the game.
