DATA ON AMERICAN DEATHS
Census Bureau Gathers Statistics in
Many States and Cities;
Also in Hawaii.

Recent inclusion of Hawaii has CE-
tended beyond the limits of continental
United States the area for which the
census bureau annually collects and
publishes death statistics. Within this
area now reside about 73 per cent of
the total population Of continental
United States and Hawaii. 1t com
prises in all 81 states, 43 cities in
other states, the District of Columbia
and the territory of Hawaii.
East of the Mississippi the only
states not included are Alabama, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Mlssis'
sippi and West Virginia, while west of
the Mississippi the only states includ-
ed are California, Colorado, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Utah
and Washington.
The annual collection of death sta
tistics from states and cities maintain
ing adequate registration systems was
begun by the census bureau in 1902,
the first report covering the calendar
years 1900 to 1904, inclusive. and for
each succeeding year separate report
has been published. ....
The original registration area con-
tanned 40 per cent Of the total popu-
lation of the country. 1t remained I'M
changed until 1906, since which year
1t has shown an almost uninterrupted
increase in geographical extent and in
proportion of total population, until at
present it contains nearly three-fourths
of the cOuntry's inhabitants.
In birth registration highly salts
factory progress has been made dur
ing the past two years.
