Birth Rate of Country Rose Sharply in 1943
WASHINGTON.—The federal children's bureau finally got around to its 1943 statistics and reported—to no one's surprise—that the stork still is more active in war years.
The bureau reported that nearly 3,000,000 babies were born during this country's second year at war as compared with only 2,000,000 during 1933, low point of the depression.
The 1943 live birth rate, however, still was considerably below the all-time high set in 1915-'16 when it reached 25 births per 1,000 population.
