pectation of life in New England,
New York, New Jersey, Indiana,
Michigan and the District of Colum
bia. According to these statistics tho
average expectation of life at birth
for males is 49.9 years and for fe
males 53.2 years. For white males
the expectation is 50.2 years and for
white females 53.6 years. For na
tive white males the average is 50.6
years and for native white females
54.2 years. In the e-eneral fionirea
the percentage is cut down because of
tne tact that Neeroes liv n n .
erage of fifteen years less than white
persons.
The report shows that the expec
tation of life is crreater at the
of one than at birth, approximately
six years greater, and the maximum
is reached at the age of two, when it
i3 seven years greater. This is due
to the extremely high infant mortal
ity.
There are many more violent
deaths among men than among
women, hence the greater average ex
pectation of life for females,
under normal com tinno
white males may expect to reach the
age ot 60; native white females the
age of 64. That is. of fl Pl'vpn num.
ber of males half are as likely to die
before reaching the age of 60 years
and the other half at 60 and far be
yond. The expectation of life in rural
districts is more than seven years
greater than in cities.
