table of factors based upon the Census of 1911 has not yet
been published. The "factor for correction" for Acton based on the
1901 figures was 1.04240. If the crude death-rate be multiplied
by this figure, the corrected death-rate would be 13.8.
The death-rate is 2.4 per 1,000 higher than that of 1910
There was an increase in the number of deaths from Scarlet
Fever, Measles, Tubercular diseases and Diarrhceal diseases.

Compared with 1910 there was an increase in the number
of deaths at all age periods except in persons over 65 years
of age.
The increase in infants under one year was mainly due to
diarrhceal diseases, the increase in children between one and
five years of age was mainly due to diarrhceal diseases and
Measles. The deaths of infants under twelve months are dealt
with in a subsequent paragraph.
