$4,000 Die of Cancer
Says An Authority

Washington, Nov 17.-Deaths duc
to cancer in the United States dur
ing 1921 totalled $4,000 the census
bureau estimated yesterday, com
pared with an estimate of $4,000
in 1920. The calculation for both
years was based on returns from
the bureaus death registration
area, which includes "a states and
the District of Columbia
The bureaus announcement. com
ing in the midst of a weeks ma
ticnwide campaign to reduce the
cancer death rate, discussed the up
ward trend in the rate and said
the 1921 rate was higher than that
for any preceding year in 23 OF
the "a states making reports. The
rate for the registration area was
Sc per 100000 in 1921, compared
with S3.4 for 1920.
After adjusting the rates in vari-
Gus states to make allowances for
differences in the age and sex dis
tribution of the population, the
bureau found that for 1921 Massa-
chusetts had the highest rate-99. G
per 00,000-while South Carolina
with AIS had the lowest.
In some states rates were prac-
tically doubled for whites and ne
groes showing that New York in
1921 with $50 per 100000 had
the highest rate-906 for negroes.
The lowest adjusted rate for the
white population was SIS for Ten
nessee and for negroes 1874 for Flor
ida
In summarizing it's complication
the bureau made this observation:
"The adjusted rates show that the
northern states have comparatively
high and the southern states COM
parat Woly tow cancer mortality,
while there is little difference be-
tween the adjusted cancer rates of
the white and negro races of the
same states. In other words the
white and negro races seem equally
susceptible to cancer, but both races
seem less susceptible in the south
than in the north.
