against the present 42. But the death rate has fallen sharply owing to improved sanitary conditions: 28.8 per thousand in 1911-13 against the present 18.1. The most startling con- trast between the Russias of before and after the revolution has been in the matter of infant mortality The country is still far behind most Of Europe in this respect. It had 1853 deaths of infants under one year for every 1000 born in 1928. But this was an immense improvement when compared with the 265 infants who died out of every 900 born in 19t1- 13.
 Birth Control in Use
 Birth control is legal in the Soviet Union. Books on the subject are in every shop. Government clinics pro- vide information and answer ques- tions. Every physician is permitted to instruct patients on the subject Birth control medicaments and ap- pliances are for sale in every drug store and may be bought with no more 1Orlndll} lQan NeaG3Cne pow ders.
 While making this knowledge legally available to everybody. how ever, the Soviet government does not encourage birth control. On the contrary it encourages the produc- tion of large families The official propaganda on the subject makes it clear that birth is primarily g mat ter for the individuals to decide, but that the duty to the State is to breed new Soviet citizens. Except where economic or physical difficulties - poverty, insufficient housing space. illness, etc.-make additional chill dren burdensome, the government favors more births
 Abortions also are legal More than that, they are made in the gov ernment clinics and without charge to trade union members and others considered worthy of state assist ance. This official aid. however, Is

SOVIET UNION HIGH
 IN RATE OF BIRTHS
Control Authorized But Large Families Urged by Officials

Moscow, Aug. 8 (UP) - The So- viet Union has one of the highest death rates in Europe, Nevertheless, its rate of natural increase is ex- tremely fast because of the high birth rate.
 In 1928 the latest year for which complete figures are available .there were 42 births per 1000 population and 18.1 deaths, a popu- lation growth of 23,9 per 1000. This meant a natural increase of about 3,500,00o that year, and the rate, ac- cording to estimates for 1929 and 193o, has been growing.
 As compared to precautionary Russia. the birth rate has declined somewhat it was 455 in 1911-13

ica. There are no streets, as ordi- nary Americans understand the word; instead narrow. grass-grown lanes are the thoroIghfares lined by trim white houses with bright colored roofs. Nearly every house has it's own family burying ground in the front yard, marked by head more than two centuries.
 Blue Laws Rigid
 No dances are held on Tangier. The church does not believe in them. Until a few years ago it was against the law for man to leave his house on Sunday except to go to church, and it is not so many years since the town policeman shot man for failing to attend Sunday worship.
 But the old order IS changing. A year ago the island got it's first electric lights, with d gasoline en- zine generating the power. Two movie houses have been established over the opposition of the church and the young men and women of the place are beginning, by thelr dress and actions, to show the movies influence. Several hundred radio sets are in use on the island with the daily weather forecast as the most popular feature of the broadcast.
 1 4 visitor notices the absence of laughter. The Tangier Island 3eo- pie are a sober folk. One of them, when a visitor remarked about this said T like to laugh as well as any one. but there's nary a bit to laugh at."
 Young Generation Changes The Cornish heritage of the islanders is still reflected in their speech and customs. But American ization is beginning. The fappers of the island are getting so that they look much like the f1appers of any American town, and the young men are following suit. Within a few years Tangier will be like any

 But, for the present, it is still different-a bit of the distant past, strangely preserved a few miles from the nations capital.
 A short distance below Tangier Island is Great Watts Island and, next to that, Little Watts Island -, barely larger than a city lot but having q story all it's own. It boasts a modern Robinson Crusoe, a former successful attorney. who be- came dissatisfied with life and who has lived all alone there for 22 years.
