MAN POWER IS
IMPORTANT IN
THE PRESENT WAR

At this time, during all the world
upheaval, it is opportune to bring be-
fore the public the question of our, fu-
ture potential man power.
Much has been written about how
the totalitarian countries have been
stressing high birth rates so as to
make available more men to build lar
ger Armies and Navies for the future.
What has been the trend of events in
this country, and what can be expect
ed in the future regarding marriages,
birth and death rates? During 1910,
approximately one million, five hun
dred thousand couples marched to the
altar, the greatest tying of nuptial
knots in the Nations history. Pro-
visional figures indicate that the mar
riage rate jumped from SO in 1889
to 11.8 in 1910.
Increased economic prosperity and
Selective Service are primarily re-
sponsible. The rise probably is whit
thing away part of the vast backlog
of marriages postponed during the de-
preston years. In 1882, the mar
rage rate stood at 7.9, the lowest
point in the country's recorded his
tory. Only once in the past twenty
five years has the 1910 rate been ex-
ceeded. In 1920, following the de-
mobilization of the Army after the
World War, the rate reached twelve
marriages per one thousand popula-
ton.
After falling steadily for two CEN
turtles the long range United States
birth rate has also turned sharply up
ward. Tabulations show two million,
three hundred fifty-three thousand,
nine hundred and lightweight births
in 1910, an increase of ninety-one
