CENSUS BUREAU
STATISTICS
ON BIRTHS
WASHINGTON, June 23.—In the
birth-registration area of the United
States 1,353,792 infants were born
alive in 1917, representing a birth rate
of 24.6 per 1,000 of population. The
total number of deaths in the same
area was 776,222 or 14.1 per 1,000.
The births exceeded the deaths by 74.4
per cent. For every state in the reg
istration area, for practically all the
cities, and for nearly all the counties,
the births excedded the deaths, in
most cases by considerable propor
tions. The mortality rate for infants
under one year of age average .93.8
per 1000 living births. The foregoing
are among the facts brought out by
the census bureau’s annual compila
tion of birth statistics.
The birth-registration area, estab
lished in 1915, has grown rapidly. It
comprised, in 1917, the six New Eng
land states, Indiana, Kansas, Ken
tucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington,
Wisconsin and the District of Co
lumbia and had an estimated popula
tion of 55,000,000, or about 53 per cent
of the estimated total population of
the United States in that year.
Comparison With 1916
The birth rate for the entire birth
registration area fell below that for
1916 by two-tenths of one per 1.000
population; but the death rate was
less by six-tenths of one per 1,000 than
in 1916. Thus the excess of the birth
rate over the death rate for 1917,
which amounted to 10.5 per 1,000, was
somewhat greater than the corres
ponding excess for 1916, 10.1 per 1,000
although it fell slightly below that for
1915, 10.9 per 1,000. If the birth and
death rates prevailing in any one of
these years were to remain un
changed, and if no migration were to
take place to or from the area to
which they relate, its population would
increase at the rate of slightly more
than 1 per cent per annum, or a little
more than 10 per cent in a decade.
This would be about half the rate
21 per cent—by which the entire
population of the United States in
creased between 1900 and 1910.
Infant Mortality
The infant mortality rate—that is,
the number of deaths of infants under
one year of age per 1,000 born alive—
throughout the birth-registration area
as a whole was 93.8 in 1917, as against
101 in 1916 and 100 in 1915. This is
equivalent to saying that in 1915 and
1916, of every 10 infants born alive 1
died before reaching the age of 1 year,
whereas in 1917 the corresponding
ratio was a trifle more than 1 in 11.
Among the 20 states these rates
ranged from 67.4 for Minnsota to 119.9
for Maryland; and for the white pop
ulation separately the lowest and the
highest rates were 66.3 for Washing
ton and 109.5 for New Hampshire.
The infant mortality rates vary
greatly for the two sexes and for the
various nationalities. The rate for
male infants in 1917, 103.7 per 1,000
living births, was nearly 25 per cent
greater than that for female infants,
which was only 83.3. When the com
parison is made on the basis of race
or nationality of mother a minimum of
66.2 per 1,000 births is shown for in
fants with mothers born In Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden, and a maximum
of 172.6 for infants with mothers born
in Poland while for negro children
the rate was 148.6.
Plural Birtha
The reports from the registration
area show the birth of 14,394 pairs of
twins and 155 sets of triplets in 1917
—in all, 29,253 infants, or a little more
than 2 per cent of the total number
born.

MILES OF GUIDE POSTS
ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAYS
LOS ANGELES, June 23 (by Asso
ciated Press). — Fifty-five thousand
guide-posts have been placed on the
boulevards of Southern California by
the Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornia, according to an announcement
just made by officials of that organi
zation.
The signs, 'it is said, would make a
footpath more than fifteen miles long
and eighteen inches wide, while they
would completely “pave” any state
highway for two miles.
The posts used, if placed end to
end, would stretch seventy-eight
miles.
