BIRTHS EXCEED
DEATHS DURING
81 in MARYLAND

That the births in Maryland, last
year, exceeded the deaths by total
of 6,631, is shown in report on
births, deaths and causes of death,
in 1884, submitted recently to Cover
nor Nice, by DR.. r. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department of Health.
There were 1854 births reported in
the State in 1884, 21,521 white and
6,O63 colored and 20,953 deaths, 5000
white and 1884 colored
Considering the births and deaths
in relation to population, the report
states that there were IL deaths in
each thousand of the total poula-
ton, which were offset by 16 births.
There were II deaths and Is births
in each thousand of the total white
population. In the total colored popu-
lation there were II deaths and Fl
births.
Of the total deaths, 1901 were of
babies under a year old, 1928 were
in the age group from twelve months
to "a months old, inclusive, 1892 oc-
Cured among persons from rs to A

at all ages and from all causes. In
Guided in this total were diseases of
the heart, to which 1902 deaths were
attributed, diseases Of the kidneys
which were responsible for 2,347, can

seases, are always matters of special

deaths, typhoid fever, Al, and diph-
liberia, % deaths, in comparison with
1876 deaths from tuberculosis, 81
from typhoid fever and 20 from diph-
liberia in 1888.
Commenting on the heavy toll TAX
en- by the diseases of middle life and
old age, DR.. Riley stressed the i'm
portance of periodical health exam
nations and of regular supervision by
the family doctor as means Of check
ing the inroads of diseases of this sort
while they are in the early stages and
while it is possible to modify habits
of living so that health may be con-
served and lives prolonged for many
years of normal usefulness and en-
joyment.
"The tremendous saving Of infant
life that has been brought about in
the last twenty-five years." DR.. Riley
said, "Has been accomplished, as every
up-to-date young mother can tell you,
by keeping the well baby well. And
everybody who has followed the pro-
gress of the Dionne quintuplets has
probably observed that DR.. Dafoe has
not waited for the babies to get sick
but has devoted his skill to keeping
them well. If every grown-up would
adopt the plan of having regular, con-
slant, medical supervision, as a means
of keeping well, while well, it would
result in a great improvement in adult
health and would help to prolong
many lives"

President Roosevelt indicated that

one Of these guns is of so caliber,
each discharge shakes the plane as
if it was struck a body blow. The
vibration is so heavy that it leaves
the impression that the plane has
momentarily stopped in its flight.
This new plane has a speed Of $50

QUESTION-HoW did most of the

A large number of aviation terms

 Declarer now decided to get rid of one of his losing diamonds on a good heart, so he cashed the king of hearts and then led a small heart and won wi htthe queen. On the ace of hearts, dummy's seven of diamonds was discarded.

mond, East won the trick with the king and immediately cashed the ace of diamonds. East continued with the eight of diamondns and the trick was trumped in dummy with the three of spades.
 You will notice that, up to this point, declarer has not let trump. He reasoned that East could not double the four spade contract without holding all of the out standing trump.
 So now the Hive of clubs was led from dummy and East was forced to ruff. He ruffed with the nine of spades. Declarer refused to overruff and discarded the seven of hearts.
 Now East was helpless. If he led the jack of spades. the trick would be won in dummy with the king and the declarer would then have a finesse. If a small spade were led, the trick would be won tn dummy with the six spot. Now de- clarer could lose no more tricks. making hia contract.
