STATISTICS SHOW
BIC IMPROVEMENT
Death Rate Throughout the
Country Lower in 1911
Than For Some Years.
(NationaI News Association

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3d.
Mortality statistics of the various
States and cities for 1911 made public
today by Director Durand of the Cen
sus Bureau show a decided improve
ment in the death rate throughout the
country. Seattle, Washington, has the
lowest death rate for 1911, S.S per
thousand, as against 100 per thous
and for 1910. Memphis, Tenn, has the
highest rate, or 21.3 per thousand.
This is slight improvement for Mem
phis, however, for the death rate there
in 1910 was 21.4.
The registration area includes some
twenty odd states, among them:
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, North Carroll
ma municipalities of 1000 population
and over in 1900, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Wash
ington, Wisconsin.
In this registration area there is a
these persons S39,2S4 died in 1911.
The death rate for the total area for
that year is 142 per thousand, the
lowest ever recorded. The highest ev-
er recorded for the same area was
1913 in 1880. Scientists will doubtless
assert that education of the masses
and the advancement of science are re-
sponsible for this change in the death
rate.
Los Angeles has a death rate for
1911 of 14.5 per thousand San Fran
cisco is apparently tolerably healthy,
for it has death rate of only 15.2
while New, Orleans, which is below
the level of the Mississippi river has
death rate of 204.
Death rates of other cities follow:
Denver, 1856; Chicago, 14.5; st.
Louis, 15.4; Albany. 2O.4; New York
City, 1852; Rochester, N. Y, 14.4;
Columbus, O., 14.3; Philadelphia, 1875 !;
Boston, III; Milwaukee, 11.9 and Spo-
kane, Wash, 11.6.
Regarding the difference in state
death rates, the director of the cen,
sus says:
"In all the states for which compar-
isons can be made, except, California
the death rate for 1911 was lower than
those for the preceding year, and for
the period 1906 to 1910, and in all but
two maine and New Hampshire) 1t
was lower than that for the period
| 1901 to 1905.
'It should be remembered that these
are crude rates, which make no al
lowance for differences in the sex and
age distribution of the population, and
that variations in the proportion OF
colored population and possible def
ciencies of registration in certain
states may also affect comparisons

measures 20 feet in length; the smallest is little

range in size from the colossus Of 20 feet down
the pigmy of feet. they clearly are all OF the
same type and general characteristics. The head
is long and the eyes close under the heavy
brows; the nose large, low bridged, and very
broad at the n0strils; the upper lip short, and
the lips pouting. The head is nearly always tilt
ed backward. The lower part of the fact is broad
and heavy but imperfectly formed the ears are
long and pendant. The forms generally ended at
the shoulders at the waist, very little work
being done below these points. One of the lesser
statues has been brought to the National Museum
at Washington. d. c.. while another Is on exhibit
