Always the Extra Woman.

1t is true that for every even 100

boys born, but of those belonging TO
both sexes remaining alive at the end
of the first year, there are just 100
girls alive to % boys.
Moreover, the ratio of survival in
creases slightly in favor of the girls
throughout life. Therefore at all age
periods there is a more or less decided
excess of females over males.
