STATISTICS LAW
WELL ENFORCED
Twenty-Four Counties and All
Cities Make Good Reports.
First Honor Roll.

Computations made by officers of
the Federal Census Bureau and re-
ceived yesterday by the state Board
Of Health, give the first definite in
formation regarding the operation OF
the new vital statistics law. and show
that the local registrars of births and
deaths in twenty-four counties are
performing their duty In a highly
satisfactory manner
Since the vital statistics law went
into effect on June IA, 1912. the 100
registrars scattered throughout the
State have been forwarding monthly.
as required by law. the originals OF ali
birth and death certificates fled with
them. These have been arranged and
bound and have recently been examined
in detail by an expert sent by the Cen
sus Bureau. His calculations. showing
the death rate in all the counties and
cities. are regarded by the States
health officers as working guide Tor
the future.
The State rate has not yet been de-
termined and death certificates are
expected which will materially in
crease the present showing, but twenty
four counties OF the State are already
reporting deaths in such mum bers
as to Indicate a careful enforcement
of the Law. These counties. widely
scattered over the State, include many
which are sparseiy settled and which
present practically all the problems
of registration. The full list of coun-
ties on the banner list of the State is
as follows: Brunswick Chesterfield,
Dinwiddie, Elizabeth City. Hanover.
Henrico. Henry. Isle of Wight. James
City, KING George. King William.
Lancaster. Loudoun. Lunenburg. Mont
gomery, Page. Prince George, Rich
rnond, Roanoke. Shenandoah, South
ampton. Surry. Sussex and Warwick
In some of these counties. said an
officer of the Board of Health yester-
day. the showing is most creditable.
In Lancaster County. for example, the
registrars seem to have procured report
of practically ali the deaths, and in
Henry. during July and August. the
showing was equally good In Din
widdie and James City Counties. the
registrars have done their duty but
the high death rate charged against
those counties is due in large measure
to the insane asylums located there
Our registrars have done splendid work
and deserve the thanks of the State
We hope that with the next review of
the records. the number of counties
reaching the State average will at leaet
be double
''All the cities of the State are report
ing deaths most satisfactorily. Their
rate - necessarily high in view of their
large negro population, but they are
cling records of the utmost value"
