Large Families Popular.

The nineteenth child was born in
one Ohio family last year, according
to statistics compiled by Morton w.
Bland, chief of the bureau of vital sta
tistics. There was one family in
which the eighteenth child was born,
four families in which the seventeenth
was recorded, eight families in which
the sixteenth child was born and 81
families in which the fifteenth arrived.
OF the 9S,710 children born during
the year, ABA were twins and 129 in
sets of triplets. There we're 1856 ille-
gitimate births. March was the BAN
ner month for babies, with 9,143, and
December the lowest, with 6,921.
The number of first children born
was 30,769; second, 1882; third, 15,-
OILS; fourth. 1929; fifth, 1882; sixth.

teenth, 66.
Summit county has had the highest
birth rate three years out of the last
six years, and Lake county holds an
equal record for the lowest rate. Reg
istrar Bland accounts for the high
birth rate in Summit county by the
fact that a large percentage of the
population is of foreign origin, and
foreigners believe in large families
He refuses to advance theory for the
low birth rate in Lake county, being
content to point to Painesville, which
has had an abnormally low rate for q
number of years.
