VITAL STATISTICS
AND TUBERCULOSIS
Massachusetts was one of the first
states to enact a law requiring the
registration of births and deaths. The
death statistics in the city of Fram
ingham, Massachusetts, in 1917, show
ed a death rate from tuberculosis of
121. In order to demonstrate the value
of a proper campaign of pre
vention and treatment the National
Tuberculosis Association, backed by
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, put on a seven years program
in Framingham, which resulted in the
reduction of the death rate from 121
to 3S per hundred thousand or a de
crease of 68.06%. This campaign
would have been impossible in a state
or city where there is no law re
quiring the collection of these sta
tistics.
The National Tuberculosis Associ
ation w T as established in 1904. That
year the death statistics in a dozen
or more states having a vital statis
tics law showed a death rate from
tuberculosis of 200 per hundred thou
sand. Due to the specific tubercu
losis campaigns put on in every State
in the Union during the following
twenty years and the general health
programs in these States, though the
vital statistics area had more than
doubled, the death rate was shown
in 1924 to be 90.6. In other words, as
shown by the statistics, the tuber
culosis problem was more than half
solved.
Georgia w r as admitted into the Vital
Statistics area in 1922. In 1924 the
State Tuberculosis Association pub
lished a map, based upon State and
National statistics, showing that
Georgia’s death rate from tuberculo
sis was the lowest of any State in
the South. To be exact it was 88.4
or a little less than the average for
the nation.
If one will stop to think of the
value of these records to those en
gaged in the tuberculosis or health
campaigns, the impossibility of do
ing health work without this method
of checking, the encouragement to
the health forces when they see such
radical changes for the better, the
value also of the records in economic
and industrial matters and in tke ad
ministration of justice where birth
and death records are necessary to
the settlement of estates, he cannot
be blamed for a sense of shame and
chagrin that the Georgia law is now
inoperative and he will be inspired
to register his vote in the coming
election in favor of the constitutional
amendment which will put hi! State
back in the ranks of other progres
sive Southern States. Dr. W. S.
Rankin, former Secretary of the State
Board of Health of North Carolina,
declares that “Applied Vital Statis
tics is the most essential and pow
erful remedy for the improvement of
health, for bringing about sanitary re
forms, for preventing disease, for
postponing death and for adding years
to the duration of the average life
that we possess.”

FLORIDA HURRICANE
WEATHER BUREAU TELLS OF
RECENT DISTURBANCE
THERE.
The recent hurricane, which de
stroyed Miami and swep across Flo
rido to Pensacola, Mobile, and south
ern Mississippi, was one of the most
severe on record. The first intima
tion of its existence was received by
the Weather Bureau of the Unite.!
States Department of Agriculture on
September 14 from the chain o? is
lands extending from Porto Rico to
Barbadoes. An advisory warning was
immediately sent to all Weather Bu
reau stations along the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, and also to the large is
lands of the West Indies and Ber
muda. The warning was broadcast
by radio from Arlington and other
naval radio stations .for the benefit
of ships at sea. Additional warnings
were sent out twice daily as the hut
ricane continued its west-northwest
course at the rate of 300 to 400 miles
a day. Special warnings were order
ed displayed from Jupiter to Miami,
and Weather Bureau representatives
in this section were advised that
every precaution should be taken
against destructive winds.
The hurricane center passed over
Miami about 6:30 a. m. September 18.
The barometer reading, 27.62 inches,
was probably the lowest ever record
ed at a Weather Bureau station. The
wind reached an estimated velocity
of 125 miles an hour at Miami Beach
and all instruments at the Miami sta
tion, except the barometers and the
wind vane, were destroyed or carried
away. So far as is known this is the
first time that a hurricane center has
passed over a Weather Bureau sta
tion. Reports show that the center
actually passed over the city, for
there was a lull in the storm, the
rain ceased, people moved about on
the streets; then the gale commenced
suddenly from nearly the opposite
direction.
The hurricane moved west-north
westward over extreme southern
Florida, toward the Gulf coast be
tween Appalachicola, Fla., and the
mouth of the Mississippi River. The
storm center reached Pensacola at 8
a m. of the 20th, with the wind
ing 100 miles from the northwest and
a barometer reading of 29.10 inches,
which later fell still lower, while
wind increased in velocity. At Mobi'e
the wind reached a velocity of 94
n-files an hour and the barometer
to 28.78 inches, the lowest ever re
corded there. The hurricane gradual
ly decreasing in intensity, and by the
morning of the 22nd it was central
over western Louisiana as a distut
bance of only minor intensity.
