. LIVING LONGER

WELL folks chances of living to ripe old age are
w getting stronger. Uncle Sam officially announces that
the death rate for the nation in 1921 was only III for
each 10000 population The year before, 131 out OF each
10000 died.
On this basis about 100000 Americans dying each
year That's 34G2 day.
uEORE babies being born, too For each 10000 popu
M ation 243 babies arrived last year. against 237 in l92O
That's about 2,625.OO0 births year:
little subtraction shows that population gaining $780,
600 year, exclusive of immigration for that number is the
excess of births deaths. - W.
WITH 2625OOO babies arriving each year, 1t easy to
w understand why death is a natural and necessary
process in the great scheme of creation.
babies kept coming that rate, and none of us died.
the earth would become densely populated that there
would be for moving about We have to die
to make room for the new arrivals. 80
for people living longer The death rate is dropping.
but it is figured the average and most of the drop
is due proonging infant lives. Fewer die in baby
hood That the not that the average adult is last
ing longer The gain in the battle against death is being
made in cradle years, not in maturity.
