CENSUS FIGURES AND OLD AGE

Figures will not lie" That is where Figures" have
nearly every thing else mundane backed off the map and
have the field to themselves The United States Bureau
of Census has just issued report of the death rate in the
cities with population of 100000 according to
the 1910 According to this the death rate of Port
land in 1914 81 per thousand This was decrease
from that Of previous years. the rate being 95 in 1913
and 1913 in 1910 This is taken from the list in the Ore
gonan which fails to give Seattle Spokane for 1914
but the rate in the former given in 1913 84 and the
latter as 49, foot note in the Oregonan list says the
rate for 1914 was not available but Seattle says the rate
for 1914 was "8 the lowest in the United States" This
difference Of opinion and statement was not the reason
for the assertion that figures lonesome in their
truthfuness The for it is that puts condition
up to us for belief that is hard to assent to-
If only 81 out of thousand die in year the average
of life would have to be about 10 years. AS many die IN
infancy and many at early age it follows that
some would have to live we'll above 200 years to make this
death rate possible.
Of course Portland people may be older than they look
but while there supposed to be plenty of moss
backs in that village it is hardly possible that they could
conceal such crop Of moss would naturally gather IN
our somewhat moist climate in couple of centuries
Figures will not ie but are compelled to believe that
figures will, and do though they hold government
jobs.
