civil population, the highest since the World War, but that the birth rate l4,6 per 1000 compared favorably with recent years.
 The marriage rate last year was the highest in English history -- ' per cent above the high figure re- corded in 1889, and nearly 30 per cent above the prewar rate.
 Infant mortality =-- 55 per 1000 lives - waSlower than that of any year prior to 1889. In comparing the current situation with that of last year, the statisticians say:
 English data for i94l are avail able for the most part only for Lon. don and the large cities" they say. '"rhe trends are, in many respects, less favorable than in loi0, The death rate continues at a rather high level in these urban districts, largely because of the high death toll from boinbings in the early months of the year. Infant mortal ity also has been high, because of the prevalence of communicable diseases. Measles, which had already shown c cyclieal increase In io40 continued to be abnormally preya- lent in the first half of i94i, and the case fatality has been compar- atively high. The incidence and mortality from whoping cough have also risen this year, and the number of deaths have increased very sharply over last year The cases and deaths from diphtheria shows e moderate increase. :
 "The birth rate has declined shaI ,. ly - over 20 per cent in the urban population - as compared with the first half of l940, and while this Is not entirely representative of the country as Q whole, 1t forecasts e slZable decrease in England's birth rate this year. In London Admin istratiVe County only), deaths from violence, including deaths resulting directly from air raids, but excluding road traffic accidents, are over eight times greater than in i94o. The total number of deaths exceed the i940 figure by nearly 5000. It will be recalled that extensive air raids In lo40 did not begin until the latter part of July. For the country as q whole, civilian air raid deaths in the first half of i94l number ap- proximately l9,0oo. Deaths In road traffic accidents in London, which rose to high levels from the very beginning of the war because of blackout regulations, still are fre- quent as compared with pre-war years, but appreciably fewer than in i940,"
