The faIl q American mortality I

The fall OF American mortality TO
18.B per 1000 population In 1915 is en-
eouraging enough 10 the country gener-
ally. but Is particularly stimulating TO
cities. For the tendency has been TO in
crease urban populations at the expense
OF rural communities. and it is the city
deaths that pull down the average. For
example. In a year in which Pennsyl-
vania mortality was 14s. the figures for
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Scranton
were 1877, III and 14s, higher IN each
case than the State at large. Certainly
II it had not been for the work which has
been inaugurated In baby-saving and
general health measures the cities. with
their congestod districts. would be nearer

under the sun why Philadelphia should
not approach the lowest mortality In the

THE NATIONAL JOY RIDE
PAYS IT'S WAY

T IQUoR, perfumes, autos and pearls are
IL still put into the same category by
a number Of persons who accept surface
values as final. These things are called
luxuries. Automobile has been another
word for expensive pleasure, and the
notion has been that the outlay on swift
cars is comparable to the financing of
American heiresses, who take millions
out of the country to pay the debts and
refurbish the manors of foreign noble
men. Motorboat, by the same token, has
meant to many merely that the speed
mania had reached the water.
From time to time we hear Of another
kind of Joy ride. A wealthy young man
charters a railroad train out West and
breaks all records for speed and money
spending to come East to keep a dinner
appointment or comfort a sick person.
Yet no one calls the railroads a luxury.
There are 25oOoO miles of railroad in
these 100000 square miles of United
States. That is one mile of railroad to
every twelve square miles. Roughly.
that means eleven square miles badly
served by rail to every square mile well
served. That means eleven square miles
of land of inferior development, value,
comfort and resources to one square
mile of superior conditions. 1t means
congestion in cities and towns on rail-
roads and the poverty of congestion, and
in unserved rural districts a thinning
population and the poverty Of lack of
labor and subnormal enterprise. Summed
up, it is the evil of badly balanced, un-
equalized and unfair transportation, the
results of which are as inevitable to q
city like Philadelphia. with its trolley
cars, as they are to the whole country
with its railroads.
Into this gap leaped the auto. Sud
denly suburban districts were yanked a
dozen miles nearer the cities. Farms got
into touch with branch railroad lines or
even directly with the towns by auto
Realty values began to be equalized The
eleven square miles began to approach

The water auto-the motorboat-got in

Farm land along Chesapeake Bay got a

feed them.
