Worthwhile! Medical Science Saw ing 34,OOO Lives Annually in Ma
 ternity Cases.

An important gain in the crusade to maintain and increase the population of the United States is announced by statisti- clans of the Metropolitan Life In- surance Company, who point out that the number of mothers and infants now passing safely through the Ordeals of childbirth and early infancy each year is more than 34,00O larger than would have been the case if con- ditions existing in 1922 still per- sisted. The computation of this saving of more than 34,000 lives annually is based upon a compari- son of the mortality in 1922 and 1886 in those States which had satisfactory birth registration in 1922. These States comprise more than 72 per cent of the total pOpu- lation of the country.
 Comparing the records for the two years, it was found that in 1886 only one mother died in every 200 deliveries, while in 1922 the proportion was one out of every 156, an improvement of 21.9
 per cent. In 1922, out of every 26 deliveries, one infant was born dead, while in 1886 a stillbirth oc- cured only once in every B de- iveries, which represents gain of 16.6 per cent. Of every 25 babies born in 1922, one died in the first month of life; in 1886, however, the proportion was only one out of every g, a gain of 21.4 per cen
 While the saving in life was actually estimated only for 1886 as compared with 1922, and tot alled exactly 33,927 lives of mothers and babies, the statisti- clans explain that improvements since 1886 indicate an even greater gain, the extent of which cannot be calculated at this time.
