New Low Death Rate for
Children l to a Attained

Remarkable decreases in death
rates, particularly among the young,
are shown in mortality summary
made by the census bureau covering
the last 40 years. !
During the period from 1900 to-
1910 inclusive, the crude death rate
for all ages decreased from 17.2 per-
1000 persons to 1913. The 1910 rate
of 1913 showed slight increase over
the l0.6 rate achieved in 1898 and
1899.
But in deaths under one year Of
age the 1910 rate was $40 COM
pared with 1924 in 1900. The great
est percentage Of improvement,
however, occurred in ages from Ia
when new low rate of 80 deaths
per 1000 was achieved compared
with rate Of 1913, 10 years earlier. !
In the group aged STA, the 1910 rate
was only per 1000 compared with
3.9 In 1900 and the 1910 rate In the
group 1924 years was 2 compared
with SO in the earlier period.
The 1910 death rate among whites
was lO.4 compared with 1879 among
Negroes, l4.3 among Indians, 15.3
among Chinese, 81 among japanese,
and 9.4 among otherraces. Among
whites the male death rate was ii.
compared with 90 among females. /
In the IA group the leading cause
OF death was influenza and pneu-
monia; in the STA group the Leading
cause was motor vehicle accidents
IN the 1924 group motor vehicles
were second to tuberculosis, and in
all of the remaining groups diseases
OF the heart led in the cause Of
death.
Analysis of the 1.4l7 1853 deaths in
ls4O showed greatest mortality in
the months of January, February,
and December and least in August
September, and October.

RIGHT FOOD FOR

Your Health and Vitality De-
ponds on Proper Food

BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The word asparagus comes from
a Latin word meaning the first
sprout of any plant. 1t has been
used a sa food for over 1000 years
and was a favorite dish of the
Romans. Augustus Caesar is sup
posed to have expressed speed by
saying Quicker than you can cook
asparagus.
Fresh asparagus (now as in an
cient Romeo is a good source of
vitamins and minerals. Careful
preparation is necessary if these
vitamins and minerals are to reach
the table in the cooked vegetable.
Augustus Caesar had the right idea
for preserving both flavor and nu-
tritive value. Quick cooking, no
sofa and little water will give the
best tasting as we'll as the most
healthful product
With favorable weather this is
going to be a good year in guam
tity and quality for Delaware as
paragus. In many parts of the
country asparagus is delicacy to
be served only at company meals
Smyrna times., 1942-05-07

and in April, but from now until
about the fourth of July in Della
ware it will be one of our most
plentiful foods.
To be good asparagus must be
fresh. Straight thick stalks are
more tender than narrow or crook
ed ones as well as more convenient
to serve. Look too for tight tips
and a long green stalk. Small size
and bent stalks are often sold at
reduction and may then be a good
buy.
Served hot or cold, asparagus is
a favorite with most Delawareans.
Melted butter, cheese, lemon slices,
bacon, toast, or cream sauce all
are natural companions for hot as
paragus, and French dressing, let
tuce, stuffed eggs, picked beets or
carrot strips go well with a cold
asparagus salad.
Asparagus is one thing you can
preserve for next winter without
using sugar.
Good health rules call for green
vegetables to be served often. Serv-
ing Delaware asparagus to your
families is an easy way to fill the
order.

DELAWARE AMONG FIRST
IN STATEWIDE BLACKOU1

Plans are being made by the State
Council of Defense for a statewide
surprise blackout. Delaware will be
among the first states in the Union
to hold complete statewide black
out. So far as it is known only New
Mexico has had such test.
The Council referred to the state
wide plans blackout to the three coun-
ty coordinators and to Mayor Albert
w. James, of Wilmington. They will
be asked to agree on a date and to
make recommendations for carrying
out the blackout. These will be sub
mitted to the State Council for ap-
prevail
When this has been done the coun-
ell will make APPLICATION for the ne
cessary Army and OCD approval.
One of the problems discovered in
recent blackouts in Kent and Sussex
Counties was that of brooder and in
cubator houses on poultry farms
where the extinguishing of all lights
might cause harm. The council de-
scided that operators of these houses
would not be required to blackout for
tests providing they make arrange
ments to the satisfaction of the local
defense councils to show that they
will be able to blackout these houses
if necessary during an actual air raid.
Gerrish Gassaway, executive vice
chairman of the council, was directed
to ask Maj. Gen. Irving J. Phillip
son, commanding officer, End Corps
Area, for definite instructions con-
corning the backing out of lights a
