cided to have an officer permanent

give his entire time to the position

imports.
Merchants OF Birmingham have
been alert In taking advantage of
the import customs office here and
have had more or less of their i'm
portations forwarded direct for en-
try. The office has until recently
been In charge of an official who
was also employed by the internal

Birmingham merchants expressed
qualification at the interest shown in

DEATH RATE LOWER
DURING PAST MONTH

In a report of the activities of the
county health forces for the month
OF October, made public Saturday by
DR.. J. D. Bowling, health officer. il
Is shown that the death rate for the
county. both for adults and infants.
was unusually low. A report of the
city health department for October.
Issued several days ago. had shown
that in Greater Birmingham, the in
FAINT death rate was considerably less
than year ago.
Following is the portion OF DR..
Dowling's report on the work OF the
county health forces which relates
to births and deaths:
THE month was characterized by
the unusually low gross death rate
OF 1889 per 1000 of population as
we'll as death rate OF 69.SS per 1000
living births for infants under one
year of age. The gross death rate
among negroes as well as the death
rate OF negro infants and children
was approximately double that of the
white race. which is the customary
ratio. The staggering mortality rate
among the negro race in the south
ldnd IL worthy Of the most serious
reflection and thought on the part
OF social workers and those bearing
official responsibility for living con-
ditions which predispose such large
proportion of our population to this
enormous wastage from disease.
Speculation and study along such
lines should also include the possible
forces or causes to which may be
attributed the lowered birth rate and
also tho enormously high rate OF
still births. The expected birth rate
among negroes is customarily 25 per
cent less than the white race, while
the number of still births among me-
groes usually exceeds those among
