Male Drowning
 Rate IS Times
 That Of Women
Fatalities Predominate in l0-l9 Year Age Group, State Statistician Says -97 Last Year

Of ninety-seven people who were drowned. in Connecticut last year. ninety-one were males and only six females, an astonishing ratio of almost fifteen to one, William C.. welling. director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the State De- parment of Health stated in the de- partment's weekly broadcast today, showing, he inferred, that drown ing is the exception which proves the rule that everything runs in pairs.
 MT Welling referred to some of the more prominent pairs, such as, male and female, red and white blood corpuscles, positive and neg ative electricity and practically all mathematical operations. The male and female pairing is not prevalent in water fatalities, how ever. Neither is there any relation between the age groups. The most prevalent age for male drownings is in the group ten-to-nineteen years. The six female deaths were uniformly distributed with no age grouping.
 Drowning, the statistics show. is not particular whom it strikes and a few precautions will help those thousands who go in for water sports in Connecticut to avoid un- precautions which MT Yelling
