Insurance StatIstIClan Urges
Pan-AmerlCans to Give More
Attention to Disease:

Eighty thousand lives were sacrificed
to cancer in the United states during
1915. Frederick L. Hoffman, insurance
statistician, told the Pan-Amertcan
Scientific Congress today. He demanded
more serious consideration of the dis
ease by doctors and public. Cancer. She
said, is one OF the few diseases known
to be increasing throughout the world.
''of the 1915 Deaths" he said. ''S2,O 900
were Of males and 5000 OF females. The
death rate in cities Is higher than that
in rural districts. The race factor is
noticeable in the South, where in
thirty cities the death rate among
whites from cancer was 500 per 100, 900,
and among negroes 55.2 per 10000. Since
the civil war there has been a consider
able increase in the negro cancer death
rate.
"The evidence is that the death rate
diminishes as the equator is neared.
Rates are affected by living conditions.
Cancer is rare among native races. as
the Indians, the Esldmos, and the
negroes Of the West Indies. Edinburgh
statistics show that cancer is decidedly
more common among the well-to-do
than among the poor. stout persons are
less fortunate than thin persons as re-
CARDS concer."
Mr.. Hoffman urged attention to the
American Society for the Control of
Cancer rs a first step toward reducing
the death rate.
