Births And Deaths In 1912

The preliminary birth and death
statistics for 1912, which Dr. II. H..
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, has just made
known, are not unfavorable in view
of the stress and strain produced
by wartime conditions of living.
Dr. Riley explained that the rates
given for 1912 probably have a
slight artificial imitation because of
a fairly heavy migration of popula-
ton to defense areas in Maryland,
There are now no accurate popula-
ton estimates and the usual method
of estimating from the last two CEN
suses yields figures which are prob
ably too small. 1t is, therefore, lik-
ely that these rates for 1912 may be
somewhat excessive.
According to the figures now
available the birth rate rose con-
siderably. 1t increased from 1876
per 1000 population in 1941 to 21.7
in 1912. The increase was particu-
larly pronounced among white res
idents of the State, for whom the
birth rate rose about 10 per cent as
against per cent for the colored.
The crude death rate for all ages
and from all causes for 1912 re-
NAMED stationary, at 11.9 pei
1000 population. AS, for the reas-
on given above, the 1912 mortality
rate seems slightly overstated, the
actual mortality, all ages, probably
declined slightly. The figures show a
slight increase in white mortality
and for the colored decline from
1876 to 1872 per 1000 population.
This relatively favorable picture for
the colored people of Maryland is
the years mortality experience and
is also observed for specific causes
of death.
Infant mortality for the State as
a whole declined from 52.9 to 45.6
per 1000 live births. The decline
was particularly pronounced for the
colored, for whom the rate dropped
from 92.2 infant deaths per 1000
live births to 1871, decline OF
about Is per cent. For the whites
on the other hand, the decline in
the infant mortality rate was 10
per cent, namely from 42.5 to 1873.
The sharp drop in the colored infant
mortality rate was apparently at
tributed to the favorable experience
in Baltimore City; for in the coun-
ties the infant mortality rate re-
manned practically stationary for
the colored.
The number of deaths from meas
les and diphtheria remained prac-
tically stationary; but those from
typhoid fever and whooping cough
declined, typhoid fever from II to
deaths and whooping cough from
rs to 80 deaths. The mortality from
cerebrospinal meningitis rose from
20 to As deaths. This is in accord
with the common observation that
the epidemic variety of meningitis
tends to increase as congestion of
the population increases, such as
normally occurs in times of war.
There was a pronounced decline in
the mortality from motor vehicle
accidents. There were 445 deaths
in 1912, as compared with 565 in
the previous year, a drop of 81
per cent.

Among the American units in those
