Causes Greater Ravaass Than Essr
In 1921.
Deaths from aEcohpaim increased
30 per cent In 1871 against 1920. In

had the lowest death rate ever 10

The rate was a54 per thousand lives.
a rate indicated by statistics based
on the experience OF nearly $4,000, 900
Industrial policy holders. This Is low

death rate, and lower by 3l9 per
cent than the death rate Of 1o11.
Shows Fewer Victims.
The death rate has bean cut chiefly
because few victims were being
claimed by tuberculosis, pneumonia,
influenza, Bright's disease and indus
trial accidents.
an the period OF IL years." the
COlupduy says, 1IO4A IuUCK-
culosis has been cut almost In half.
This in itself is an unparalleled &C
complishment in the history Of public
health. But more amazing still Ia the
fact that the decline is continuing at
an increasing rate from year to year.
Despite the fact that 1t was marked
by a business depression, unempioy-
nd
showed greater decline in the tuber-
culosis death rate than any year on
record. We have no better evidence
of the effectiveness Of the public
health movement for the control Of
tuberculosis.

heart disease and for Br1ght's dis
public health work of the last twenty
years has been effective In reducing
the incidence Of the infectious dis
eases and local infections"
One cause Of death which resulted
in greater ravages than ever in 1921
is said to have been the automobile.
Due to Automobile.
For ten successive years." the bull
letin continues, "the death rate from
this cause has registered an increase.
The 1921 death rate Is more than five
times that recorded for 1911; 1t Is
four times as high as the death rate
recorded for 1915, and 81 per cent
higher than the figure for the year
1916. The control Of the rising death
rate from this cause Is one Of the I'M
solved problems Of police and accident
prevention work in American cities.
There is small consolation In the fact
that the number Of automobiles has
also increased, and that, In conse-
quence, there are fewer deaths In au-
tomobile accidents per automobile in
operation than there were five or ten
years ago. The outstanding fact is
that, whether being killed by the first
or fifth or tenth automobile, the num-
Der of deaths caused by motor We
hicles and the automobile death rate
continue to grow year after year.
'aThe most conspicuous bad spot in
the record Of the year is the increased
death rate for diphtheria. The NOR
tality from this disease was higher
than In any year since 1917. This is
all the more deplorable because the
means for the suppression Of case in
cidence and case fatality should be
known 70 every health officer and ev-
cry physician In the United States
