District, but inclusive of deaths of residents occurring in public institutions
outside the District.

Mortality at Different Ages.
In'antile Mortality.—The number of infants under the
age of one year who died during 1914 was 126, as against 101
in 1913, 101 in 1912, 158 in 1911, and 98 in 1910, the infantile
mortality rate, therefore, being 81 per thousand births, as
against 77 last year, 67 in 1912, 104 in 1911, and an average
of 93 in the ten years 1904-1913.
The deaths of children under the age of one year,
numbering 126, gives a percentage rate of 18*6 of the deaths
at all ages, as against 20.0 in 1913, 19'2 in 1912, 22'8 in 1911.
