1912 Was HeaIthiest
Year in D. {. History,
Dr.. Rutland Reports
Deuth Rate Of 1913
Lowest Since Official
Records Were Kept

Health Department statistics fol
1912 indicate that 1t was the
healthiest" year in Washington &
history, DR.. George c. Rutland
health officer, said yesterday.
The general death rate of 1913 per
1000 OF the population, which COM
pAres with 118 per cent in 1941 and
147 In 1896, is the lowest in District
records, DR.. Rutland pointed out
At the same time, the birth rate of
25.1 per 1000 population, with a
total of 21.317 live births, is the
highest in at least so years. Previous
figures were 242 in 1941, 22.9 in
1910, 2l5 in 1889. 207 in 1886 and
1875 IN 1887.
Low Infant Mortality.
Washington also had its lowest
infant mortality rate. which DR.
Rutland said is generally recognized
as one OF the best indices of health
in a community. The rate last year
was 44.6 infant deaths per 1000 live
births, compared with 512 in 1941
and u in 1886 The latest available
national infant mortality rate, he
added, is 45.3 In 1941.
Progress in saving lives during
maternity was outstanding DR..
Rutland said. There were only %
maternal deaths per 1000 live births
last year, q drop of 5 from the
preceding year. IN 1910 the rate
was 2.s, in 1899, 48, and SIS in
1898. DR.. Rutland said the latest
national rate was 80 in 1941.
Based on War Population.
DR.. Rutland said that the esti-
mated midyear population of 848 900
was used to compute the general
death and birth rates and the NOR
tality rates from specific causes
such as tuberculosis and pneumonia.
The infant and maternal mortality
rates were calculated on the basis
Of 21,317 live births during 1912
Out OF the total of 9,165 deaths
during the year, heart disease, can
Ger, kidney diseases, tuberculosis and
apoplexy accounted for more than
half of the deaths, or 5,371. There
were no deaths from measles or

from typhoid fever, scarlet fever

THE man who stands out vividly in the
i Allied warfare on the island of Sicily Is
the foot soldier, From military standpoint
it is a fortunate thing that the group OF
experienced press correspondents, who have
accompanied the Allied armies, have paid so
much and such deserved attention 10 him.
They have talked intimately, almost on the
field of battle with these simple, straightfor-
ward doughboys whose lack Of self-conscious-
ness, and lack Of appreciation Of their own
indomitable quality, is their great charm. They
give us the stories of these men in their own
language so far AS the soldier appreciates
enough to tell what happened to him IN battle
and how he felt about it. He tells us why he
fought on, and how he won.
It is to be hoped that our correspondents
multiply these narratives, before the heat Of
battle cools and before the minds Of these
actors have any chance, by reflection 10 alter
their simple stories, so that they might be-
come less revealing of what goes on in the
mind Of soldier in the thunder, heat, wearl-
ness and bloodshed OF battle
To the student of psychology, these re-
ctals are precious
