continued, that the drop in the
general death rate in the, last
twenty-five years throughout the
world has not resulted in a CORE
spending increase in population as
there has been at the same time a
material decrease in the birth rate"
Emphasizing the Importance Of
birth registration in the ascertain
ment of infant mortality rates,
Gore pointed out that while Eng
land has registered its births for
ninety years and Sweden for 178
years, today forty States are in the
birth registration area of the
United States.

1.-THE United States, with rate
of 1877 per 100000 of population. is
third highest among twenty-five
countries. The death rates in TWEEN
ty-five countries range from Is per

Nine countries had rates less than
100.
"At the end of the ten-year period
between the years 1911-1915 and
21-1925, among the fifteen coun-
tries with the lower death rates, the
United States showed next to the
largest reduction, 2.3 per 1000.
The causes of this improvement
are many. Higher standards of liv-
ing and greater public and semi
public attention to health conserva-
ton are probably the chief factors.

that the United States has made

RENOVATION COSTS
LESS IN WINTER
Ry JANE s4EWART

An almost universal practice eX-
lists of renovating houses, outside
and in, during spring and early fall
months. Strangely enough there is
no good reason for this practice, and
a good many real arguments against
it. Because the erroneous idea is
prevalent that spring and fall are
the best, in fact the only good times
for exterior painting, home owners
have fallen into the habit of having
interior work done at the same time.
In reality, as far as weather is con-
cerned, there is no more favorable
time for exterior work than early
winter. And for interior work wea-
Their considerations are compare
lively unimportant. 1t may well be
done the year around
There are, however, other factors
to be considered, and these make
late fall and early winter the most
economical and advantageous time
for renovation. In the first place
you are apt to get better work done
at this time.
Painters, rushed to the limit dur
ing fall and spring months, are able
to devote more time and care to a
job during dull seasons. The first
requisite in painting economy is
getting good job-it looks better,
lasts longer, and protects the sur
faces more effectively. Of course,
the application is only half; the
quality of the paint is equally impor-
tant. And falling below standard in
this respect is just as detrimental
to good results and to economy. But
as far as workmanship requirements
go, you can assure yourself of the
best if you select month that falls
in the dull season.
Another point from the dollars
and cents standpoint is this. The
seasonal character of the trade ne
cessitates a charge sufficient to tide
the painter over his period of I'M

during winter months will
alleviate this condition, and there
fore offers a very definite economic !
by helping to lower the
general cost of painting work. A
more immediate saving, and some |
times a very appreciable one, is the
possibility of getting a lower esti-
mate at this time.
In addition, you must consider
that you are putting out money to
improve the appearance of your
house (as well as to preverse it,.
Naturally, the longer the house
looks well, the better bargain you
nave made. If the work is done in

generally sees a lull.. There is lit
tie if any inconvenience in having a
room or two vacated for a few days
at a time.
1t seems strange that a practice
persists of insisting upon painting
work during the time when it costs
the most, when it is inevitably done
in something of a rush, and when
the interruption is most inconveni-
ent-unless there is some good rea-
son for it's persistence. Yet the prac-
tice has no other justification than
habit. If you want to get the most
for your money with the least tEOu-
Bile, break away from your custom
bound neighbors and renovate in
late fall or winter.

the, spring, by winter the dust and
dirt that come in through open
windows have eft their mark. On
the other hand if walls, woodwork,
and floors are freshly painted and
vanished at the time of year when
windows are generally kept closed,
you will have new finishes practi-
cally unimpaired when summer ar
rives. Then, too, you get more en-
joyment from a newly renovated
home during the time when you are
confined to the indoors. The winter
months ahead are lOng-a cheerful
home will help to pass them pleas
antly.
Finally, there is the consideration
of convenience. Spring and fall are
all too busy without adding unnec-
assarily to their list of activities.
Putting away summer or winter
clothes, getting children prepared
for school or making ready for their
return, house guests and other en-
tertaining-these things do not per-
nit even the short interruption nee
essary to having painting work done.

The Department of Commerce is
the principal branch of the Govern
ment that gathers statistics.
The Federal Reserve System is in
touch with the banks of the coun-
try and their reports are tabulated
every week just as the bank you do
business with fixes up its balance
sheet each night. All financial trans
actions are kept track of.
The rise and fall of the 25 lead

charted on diagrams which show
their significance at a glance. The
same process is followed with ref
erence to interest rates on CONNER

Wholesale prices, retail prices and
employment conditions are tabulated
by the Department of Labor. Farm
prices and tendencies are made
known through the Department of
Agriculture.
There are daily statistics that
