Texas Baby
Crop Largest
In History
Austin — Texas' 1S«5-1 baby
crop turned out to be the biggest
on record, th« State Health De-
partment's Bureau of Vital Sta-
tistics reported recently.
The ¡240,209 live birth regis-
tered for the year was an all-
time high rate of 28.4 births for
every 1000 population, bureau
statisticians said.
Most of the new babies were
boya — 104 for every 100 girls—
the summary said, but 881 more
male babies than females died
during their first year.
"The attrition against the male
sex goes on steadily through in-
fancy. childhood, adolescense, ma-
turity, and old age," a statistician
commented.
How many mothers of iy «i
babies were residents of Texas a
I the time of blessed event is not
yet known, but every one of the
babies are bona fide Lone St.t
citizens by virturc of state law.
While birth rates were soaring
to unprecedented high level-
deaths frojn selected causes wen-
being cut to the lowest points in
history.
"Last year saw the total death
rate (7.7 per 1000 pop.), the in-
fant mortality rate (31.0 per 1000
births), the maternal mortality
rate (0.6 per 1000 live births),
and the stillbirth ration (17.3 per
1000 live births i at new all-time
lows," the report indicated.
In addition to the reduction
posted in infant and maternal
deaths, the report said the past1
two decades have witnessed dras-
tic reduction in deaths from dis-
eases affecting tin general pop-
ulation.
There were '.'V' per cent few< i
deaths from each of typhoid
fever, diphtheria, malaria, and
pellagra last year than in 1S <4.
Scarlet fever rates have been cut
by 98 per cent from the rate 20
years ago. Ninety-six fewer
deaths from each of whooping
cough and meusles are occurring
today than occurred in 1934.
Influenza is claiminK 90 per-
cent fewer victims today than it
did 20 years ago, while tuberculo-
sis is killing 84 per cent fewer
people than the 1934 rate. Syphi-
lis rates have been cut 81 per-
cent.
Pneumonia. including pneu-
monia of the newborn, and int« s
