RATES OF MORTALITY
ENGLAND AND WALES (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, March 15. (Received March 10, at 5.5 p.m.) The Registrar-general has published a report by the Government actuary on the mortality experience of England and Wales in 1930, 1931 and 1932, which in an examination of the rates of mortality at individual ages shows the great improvement in (he vitality of people which has taken place at all but the most advanced ages. Investigation of the mortality experience with reference to the geographical situation reveals that London suburban areas arc subject to a much lighter death rate than the country as a whole in respect to both sexes. It is found, in fact, when the figures are compared with those for other urban areas, that the outer ring of London is conspicuous for the lightness of the death rates over the whole span of life.
