to arrest it, is shown by the exceed
ingly high death rates which prevail
among infants under l year of age.
OF 10000 native white boy babies born
alive, 4,9f5, or almost ) per cent, die
during the first month, an d12,602, or
1926 per cent, die within one year
The girl baby's chance of life is con-
siderably better, the death rate among
native white females during the first
month being 1884 per 100000 born
alive, or less than per cent, and dur
ing the first year 10,460 per 100000 or
nearly 10.5 per cent.
On its first birthday, however, the
likelihood that child will die within
the year is only about one-fourth as
great as it was at birth, the death rate
among native whites during the sec
ond year being 2,S4l per 100000 for
females and 2,610 per 100000 for fe-
males. The rate continues to decrease
until the twelfth year of life-that is,
the period between the eleventh and
twelfth birthdays-during which it is
only 22S per 100000 for males and 1913
per 100000 for females. This, the fig
ures indicate, is the healthiest year of
lifeamong the native whites. There
after there is a continuous increase in
the death rate from year to year.
During the forty-eighth year of life, in
the case of native white males, it is
1857 per 100000. or almost exactly
what it was during the third year, l.
266: during the sixty-second year it
is 2,919 per 100000, or a little more
than during the scond year, 2,S41;
and during the eightieth year it is H.
1S4, or somewhat less than during the
first year, 1862. Similarly, among
native white females the rate during
the fiftieth year, 1920, is little less
than during the third year, 1,144; dur

ing the sixty-third year it is 2,548, or
somewhat less than during the second
2,61O; and during the eightieth it is
10,901 per 100000, or a little more
than during the first, 10,460. The ma
tive white man at the age of 1O2 and
the native white woman at the age of
SO have approximately the same pros
pect Of dying within one month that
they had at birth.
Median Age at Death.
To say that a persons expectation
of life is a certain number of years is
not the same as saying that he has an
even chance of living that number of
years. This is because, as already ex-
planned, expectation of life represents
the average remaining length of life,
at any given age, in a stationary pop
ulation, whereas an average person in
given group has an even chance of
living to what is called the median
age at death, that is, the age below
which half of the members of that
group will die. The median age at
death for all native white males in the
assumed stationary population would
be so; that is to say, of a given num-
ber Of such males born alive, half
would die before reaching so and the
other half at 60 and beyond, A ma
tive white male child at birth, then,
has one chance in two of reaching
this age. At the end of his first year,
however, he has a trifle better than
an even chance of reaching "a! and at
~ he has one chance in two of attain
ing three score and ten. Similarly, a
native white female child at birth has
an even chance of living a few months
past the age of GA; at the age of l she
has one chance in two OF living until
she is nearly 6S years old; and at %
her chance of reaching 20 is an even
one. Thus a native white man at 42
and native white woman at % have
about the same chances of celebrat-

City and Country.


The relative healthfulness of city
and country is strikingly shown by the
tables, according to which the death
rate among white males under l year
of age in cities having 5000 inhabi-
tants and over in 1909, and in cities Of
10000 and over in 1910 and 1911, is
1880 per 100000 born alive, whereas
in smaller places the corresponding
rate is only 1926 per 100000 or 20
per cent less than the rate for cities.
A similar difference prevails with re-
spect to white females under 1 year
of age, for whom the death rate in
cities is 11,123 per 100000 born alive,
while in rural localities it is only s.
497 per 100000, or "a per cent less
than the urban rate
For white males the expectation of
life, at birth, in rural localities is TT
years greater than in cities; at the
age of 10, ga years greater; and until
the age of 80 is reached there is a
margin of more than five years in ia
vor of the country. Thereafter the
difference becomes gradually less, but
is always in favor of the country until
the age of So is reached, at and after
which the cities show slightly great
er longevity than the rural localities.
For white females the difference be-
tween urban and rural longevity,
while pronounced, is somewhat less
than in the case of males. At birth
the white females expectation Of life
is 6 years greater in rural than in ur-
ban localities; at 10, 3.S years great
er; and until the age of as is attained
the difference continues to be more
than years. Thereafter it declines
until the age of SO is reached, after
which the cities have slight advan-
tage over the country.

AT TO STATE PRINTING.

In quoting what the York News had
to say about Mr.. Bradford and two d.
fees We had no intention of criticizing
Mr. Bradford Or the State printer, but
simply to chide our young friend of
the News for getting after Mr.. Brad
ord, who had only been mentioned as
a possible candidate for the legisla-
ture, while he was secretary TO the
printing committee, all a remote pos
sibility, while he says nothing about
whole lot of others much higher up,
who are doing the very thing that he
suggests Mr.. Bradford might possibly
do, and which we see now that Mr..
Bradford has no intention of doing.
And yet the News claimed that it had
never heard of such a thing as any one
holing two offices in South Carolina,
when the papers for the past two
months have been lhll Of it, 1t would
seem that some have construed what
We said as in some way a criticism of
the State printer and of Bradford
Not at all. We want to dispel that
illusion.
We have known Mr.. Bradford for
several years, and so far as our knowl-
edge goes, We endorse most heartily
his selection for the position, and we
think the committee has done we'll to
get him. We were mistaken in saying
he is now in the employ d1 the State
printer. He was until recently. Even
if he were now we do not believe that
would influence him to do anything
| wrong in the discharge of his duties,
or would the State printer expect him
to show any faVors In fact we happen
to know that during the time he was
employed by the State printer he very
frequently did not agree with those
who employed him, and that it never
made any difference to either in bus
mess way We believe that Mr.. Brad
ford is thoroughly competent to serve
the printing committee, and that he is
thoroughly honest ard will do his duty
to the State, and at the same time be
fair to the printers who may do the
State work
AS to the State printing We think
the trouble has been with the sys-
TEN, and there is opportunity to save
money to the State. 1t seems to US
that some years ago an act was passed
requiring certain State officials to edit
the copy before it was turned over to
the State printer to see that whole
lot Of stuff was not included in the re-
ports that had no business there. But
so far as we know there has been very
little saving along that line, though
there was great opportunity to save
in that direction.
Take for instance, the book of par
dons issued by the governor for the
year 1915. Gov. Manning was kind
enough to send US a copy In looking

The Invasion of Rumania.

The Teuton steam roller is moving
over western Rumania, about 10000
square miles, or nearly half, of that ter
ritory having been yielded to the in
vaders by the retreating Rumanian
forces In this retreat one Rumanan
army, at Orsova in Hungary, has be-
come detached from the main body and
now appears to have been abandoned
to its fate, having been virtually sur
rounded The Rumanians have retreat
ed to valley about ninety miles west
of Bucharest, where, it is understood,
they plan to make stand. Russian re-
inforcements are being thrown rapidly
into Rumania, and the question now is
whether they can reach the front in time
to stem the German tide, which appears
at present to be resistlessly advancing.

does; and it is but fair to him to say
that Congress invites his interest. 1t
puts many questions up to him, and he
is always ready and willing to receive
them.
Then, if the program proves too big
for the session; if all that the Presi-
dent wants done in the way of legisla-
ton cannot be crowded into the three
months, what remains undone will either
have to wait nine months, or be re-
ferred by him to the new Congress i'll
extra session. And if an extra session
is called its length would, of course, be
problematical. But while it continues
he will, of course. have to be close at
hand.
Such task, performed with diligence,
taxes the physical as we'll as the intel
lectual man. He must keep fit in both
body and mind. He passes in day from
one topic to another with rapidity, and
gives hours to official conferences and
to company. The strain must be very
great. And vet Mr. Wilson meets it,
with ease. certainly with en-
.ioyment. and has just solicited and re
eeived a four-year extension of the ex-
pericnce.
