LOSIS (The Boston Evening Transcript) Figures made public by the Bureau of the Census go to show that con- tinned '-pigres is being made in the ~war obn.;tuberculosis. . The proportion' of deaths to 100,000 of population has continued to decline during the period covered by the report which begins. with the year 1918. The rate was then 150. . Last year it was 97. This' de- cline in the rate, however, was ac- companied during 1922 with a slight increase in the actual number of deaths as compared withthe preceding years. The figures are 88,136 for 1921 and 90,452 for 1922. Comparison is made of the death rates from tuberculosis in all the States included in the registration ar- ea. This comparison goes farther than the mere consideration of the ac- I tual number of deaths in proportion to the total population. The census statisticians work out adjusted rates which make allowance for differences in ages and the proportion of the sex- es in the several States, and showl how the deaths would compare if these differences did not exist..; In 1922; there were 3732 deaths from tulercu- losis -in Massachusetts. The adjusted rate 'is 90, which is a little lower than the rate of Rhode Island and Connec- ticut, and is higher than the rates in the three Northern States, which- are 81.2 in Maine; 86.8 in New Hampshire and 87.8 in Vermont. Outside New' 'England, New York has a rate of 93.8 New Jersey 91.2, and' Pennyslvania 87.8.
