MORTALITY RATE JUMPS
IN STATE OF NEW YORK

ALBANY, Sept. 1.-The mortality
rate for New York State, exclusive
OF New York city, increased last
year over 1922, according to the
State department of health.
In 1922 the rate was 14.4 per
1000 population. while in 1923 it
was 14.8. The latter, however, was
q point less than the average for
the five-year period Of 1917-1921.
Regarding the increase in the
death rate, Doctor Matthias Nicoll,
3r., State commissioner of health,
said:
THE increase in the death rate
for 1928 over 1922 was due, in a
large measure to the greater NOR
tally in cancer, organic heart dis
ease, nephritis, automobile acct
dents. tuberculosis and the acute
respiratory diseases. including pneu.
monia, measles, whooping cough
and influenza. These diseases,
which caused more than one-half
the deaths in both 1922 and 1928,
accounted for 1881 more deaths
