to eight as against four in 1886. Frequently the record of any year will often give a forewarning of what may happen in the next year, the department said. The increase of mortality due to diphtheria in 1887 is a warning that 1888 must be a year of intensive immunization or diphtheria will continue its in- crease. Diphtheria took 24 lives last year against seven the previous year.
 Cancer Leads
 Leading cause of death in 1887 was cancer with 2,215 victims, but the cancer death rate showed de- cline from .126.7 per 100000 residents in 1886 to 1854 last year. Accidents killed 1,215; pneumonia, 1,159; pull monary tuberculosis, 597; influence, POS. The only causes of death to show increased rates for the year, and most of them were slight, were measles, diphtheria, influenza, polio myelitiS, diarrhoea and enteritiS un- der the age of two, and suicede.
 The provisional summary for 1897 showed the following results Gall rates per 100000 population except as noted: Total deaths, 17,573, rate, 99 per 1000 population; deaths un- der one, 908. rate per 1000 living births, 40.5; typhoid fever six deaths, rate 0.3; measles, 13 deaths, rate or; scarlet fever, II deaths, rate 0.6; whooping cought, 27 deaths, rate 1.5; diphtheria, "A deaths, rate A; infu- enza, POS deaths, rate 11:8; pulmon- ary tuberculosis, 597 deaths, rate, 33.8; tuberculosis, other forms. 53 deaths, rate 80; pneumonia, all form, 1,159 deaths, rate 65.6; can cer, 2,215 deaths, rate 125.4; polio myelitis, eight deaths, rate 05; cerbrospinal meningitis, 13 deaths, rate or; diarrhoea and enteritis un- der two, 51 deaths, rate 2.9; puerperal state, 65 deaths, rate 2.9 per 1000 living births; suicide, 268 deaths, rate 15.2; accident, 1,215 deaths, rate 68.8.

Ohio, and J. E. Powers, district man. ager were in charge of the confer enceS.
 One feature of the meeting was the showing of a new five reel movie portraying what is believed the most thorough and accurate record of tire manufacture and performance ever filmed. High speed cameras show actual action of tire treads on the road surface, in one part of the movie, which will be released throughout the country.
 "The conferences" MT. Shea de- clared, "were held to outline the ad- vertising and merchandising of our company for this district during the coming year. we are hopeful of the prospects for future business, and anticipate that there will be an in- crease in tires sold directly to con- sumers during 1888.
 "Our company continues to expend large amounts of money on research anc development effort on its prod- ucts One of the most recent ex- amples of this activity Is the new Hi Hex cotton tire cord. designed primarily to reduce heat generated 1 at tNh speeds in truck and bus tires, b=t with advantages for pas senger car tire construction as well"

Connecticut had its lowest death rate in history in 1887, the rate having been cut to 9.9 deaths per 1000 population, the state depart ment of health announced today in its annual provisional summary of mortality.
 The total number of deaths was 17,573.
 At the same time, Connecticut al- so established new record low rates for infant mortality, tuberculosis and maternal mortality, and cut the pneumonia death rate below that of the past two years.
 90S Children
 During 1887, there were 908 deaths of children under one year of age. There were 22,407 births re- corded and the resultant infant mortality rate was 40.5 deaths un- der one year per 1000 living births. The birth rate increased slightly to the 1885 level of 12.7 per 1000 popu- lation.
 Tuberculosis
 Tuberculosis in all its forms &C., counted for $50 deaths. The death rate, the lowest ever achieved in Connecticut, was 36.8 per 100000 
 Only 65 mothers died in childbirth last year as compared to 102 such deaths in 1886, and the new record maternal death rate was established at 2.9 per 1000 living births.
 In 1885 and 1886, deaths due to showed a tendency to in- crease over the all-time record low death rate of 629 per 100000 popu- lation established in 1884, but in 1887 this tendency ceased and the rate for the year was 65.6. It is to be hoped, the department said, that with the increase of treatment by serum therapy 1888 will reveal a definite decrease in pneumonia deaths one year from now.
 On the other side of the mortality ledger, the department reports that due to the hot weather in July there were many deaths due to heat ex- hauStion. The year was also a rainy one. Early in the year an influenza epidemic threatened, but while mor- tality increased for influenza, there was in no sense a widespread epi- demic. Late in the summer, poliomyelitis cases caused some alarm, but the mortality was limited

NEW RUMANIA IS
 PLAN OF CAROL
Inner Cabinet Council of Seven Ministers Headed
 By MirOn Cristea

Bucharest, Rumania, Feb. IA (UP) Constitutional changes envis- aged by King Carol were reported to- day to include a plan to form an inner cabinet council of the present seven ministers without portfolios under the leadership of Miron Cris- tea, patriarch of the Rumanian Orthodox church, to assist him as an advisory committee.
 Administration under the plan would remain in the hands of a reg ular cabinet to be presided over by former Premier George Tatarescu.
 Carol, who assumed leadership of the government after diSmiSsing the Octavian Goga cabinet, was said by friends to be planning to suppress doctrinaire democracy for the mo- ment to save real democracy from destruction in the future.
 Mild Revolution
 Rumania is undergoing a major social and political revolution, the extent and trend of which, observers feel, depend on the outcome of the fight between the country's two most powerful men-Carol and Cor neliu zelea Codreanu, leader of the fascist iron guard. It also is fight between two ideologies-monarchy versus Naziism. Carol, in dismissing the anti-semitic cabinet of Octavian Goga and appointing staff of new ministers over which he assumed control, put his hand to the plow in way that removed the last shadow of doubt that he is deter mined to make a nation out of a kingdom which heretofore has been more of a geographical unit than a national one. He is determined to cultivate a potentially fertile soil so intensively that he can produce a new people as vel las a new form of government.
