DEATH RATE IN D. c.
FELL during 1917
Number of Fatalities Show
Increase, Due to Additions
to Population.
SUMMARY Of DISEASES

Studies of the Districts mortality
record for 1917, just completed by the
health department, show that. while
1s9 more deaths we're recorded than
during the preceding year, the Dis
trict's death rate fell from 1904 to
1857.
The lower death rate is the result Of
an Increased population. the improve
ment being manifest only among the
white population.
Total deaths numbered $3.50, against
e.494 for 1916. Deaths among the
white population increased from 1888
to 4,06S. but the white death rate fell
from 1915 to 1886.
Among the colored population deaths
Increased from 2,541 to 2.615. but the
increase in population was proportion
ately equal to the Increase in deaths,
and the death rate fell only from 1888
to 25.4S.
Deaths among children under one
year of age fell from f66 to 715. rep
resenting decrease in the infant death
rate from los to IS. Among white
infants deaths decreased from Alb to
S65, decrease in rate of from So to
So. Among colored infants deaths de-
creased from $50 to 351, decrease in
rate of from 15S to 1853.
Pneumonia was large contributor to
deaths last year. Fatalities produced
by other diseases also are analyzed.
The summary states:
Pneumonia's Heavy Toll.
Deaths from pneumonia during 1917
were $50. against 504 in 1916 This
Increase among the colored people was
from 1879 to 800: among whites, 305 to
327
Possibly some of this apparent in
crease In pneumonia among persons of
the colored race was due to what is
Technically known as the transfer
renee" of cases, by which Is meant the
shifting of the cause of death as stated
in the death certificates by physicians
from one disease to another
While deaths from pneumonia among
the colored population increased from
1S9 to 303, as stated above, deaths
from pulmonary tuberculosis decreased
from 81 to 320. Among white people
deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis re-
manned practically stationary, shifting
from 275 to 274. On the whole the ball
ance Is in favor of the District, since
for the entire population, notwithstand-
ing the increase in it, deaths from pull
monary tuberculosis fell from 646 to
Ss4.
