STATE BIRTHS
EXCEED DEATHS
VERY LARGELY
Statistics Show 6155 More
Births Than Death Indi-
eating Good Health
TUBERCULOSIS TAKES
HIGHEST TOLL OF LIFE

Health conditions in Maryland were
generally favorable, as indicated by
report issued by DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health, containing the provisional fig
ures for births and deaths in the State
during the year. The births exceed
ed the deaths by a total of 6,155.
There were 1880 births reported, of
which 1891 were white and $3.50
colored, and 21,175 deaths, 16,2O1
white and 4,974 colored.
The births were divided as follows:
1903 in Baltimore City, 10,543 white
and 3,160 colored; and 1927 in the
Counties, 1O,848 white and 2,799 col
ored. There were 11,136 deaths in
Baltimore City, 1914 white and 1872
colored; and 1O,O39 in the counties
of which 1857 were white and 2,182
colored.
Considering the births and deaths
in relation to population, the report
shows that there were IL deaths in
each thousand of the total population,
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 population there
were II deaths and 20 births.
Of the 21,175 deaths, 1,69S-or s
per cent-were of babies under a
year old old; 1,903-or 8 per cent
were in the age group from twelve
months to "a years old, inclusive;
3,051--or Ia per cent--occurred among
persons from % to A years old and
the remainder, 14,523-or SO per cent
of the total-occurred among those
who were from As to 81 years old or
older. What are listed as the de-
generative diseases of middle age and
of the older age groups, were respon-
sible for 1883 or over half of the
total deaths at all ages and from all
causes. Included in this total were
diseases of the heart, to which 1864,
deaths were attributed, diseases of
the kidneys which were responsible
for 1928, cancer for 2,174, cerebral
hemorrhage for 1874 and diabetes for
448 deaths.
Deaths from tuberculosis, typhoid
fever and diphtheria, were responsible
for the following in 1885: tuberculosis
1858, typhoid fever, As, and diph-
liberia, % deaths, in comparison with
1887 deaths from tuberculosis, S8
from typhoid fever and % from diph-
liberia in 1884.
"It is impossible not to be impress
ed" DIR. Riley said, "by the heavy toll
taken by the diseases associated with
middle age and the older age groups.
The majority of these diseases come
on slowly and can often be recognized
and checked before they have made
devastating inroads upon the strength
and power of resistance to diseases
of the individual. No advice that
could be offered could show more
clearly than those figures the inn
portance of the periodical examination
and health supervision of the grown
up members of each family, as well
as of the children, by the family
doctor. Unfavorable conditions can
be detected in this way, and habits
of living modified so that health may
be conserved and lives prolonged for
many years of normal usefulness and
enjoyment"

New Method Soon
Available To Cut
County Road Cost
State Roads Commission An,
nOunces Plan For Maintenance
And Grading

| Plans for radical departure" in
county road maintenance which, it is
claimed, will result in better work
for one-sixth of the former cost were
revealed this week by the State Roads
Commission.
A heavy tractor with a pull grader
will be employed in the new method.
DR.. Homer E. Tabler, commission
chairman, said 6.2 miles of road had
been graded and maintained over all
sorts of terrain at an average cost of
$184 per mile. The cost in. the past
ran from $500 to $1,000 mile, he
said.
DR.. Tabler announced the commits
sion hoped to improve and maintain
800 miles of county roads this sum-
mer.
"We have never done this type of
work in Maryland before" DR.. Tabler
said, at is well past the experimental
stage, and we hope to lay the ground
work for boards of county commits
sioners to request future road servic-
| ing at less expense.
"We are not transgressing on con-
tractors rights. We are doing only
maintenance and grading. We are not
doing any surfacing."
DIR. Tabler says the average county
road right-of-way now is thirty to
thrty-three feet, with the road itself
only twelve to fifteen feet wide. The
new plan calls for sixty-foot rights-of-
way with roadway of thirty feet.
The remainder of the right-of-way
will be utilized to provide proper
drainage. DIR. Tabler pointed out the
wider roads would make it possible
ito remove snow cheaper and more
efficiently.
The good drainage, he said, would
keep the roads passable during thaws
and wet weather.
DR.. Tabler also announced the pur-
chase of twenty heavy "motor pa
trolls" for use in grading dirt roads
and shoulders to surfaced highways.
The patrols, operated by one man,
are powered with Diesel engines and
are equipped underneath with graders.
They also are equipped with lights
and will be operated day and night.
