MEN
OUTNUMBER
WOMEN
A statement
issued
by the cencus bureau’s
shows
that
the
United
States
as
a whole
has about
2,000,000
more
men than
wo-
men.
However,
seven
states
and
the
Distriet
of
Columbia
show
a preponder-
ance
of women.
In
the District the ratio
is 87 men for every
100 women.
Althouzh
2.000,000
excess
males
sounds
alarming
cvery
census
has
shown
from 103
to 106
males
to
100 females.
This
condition
is
partly
due
to
immigration.
whicn adds
m:les
to
America
and
takes
them
from
Europe.
But
the
chief cause
is Wature,
which
provides
g surplus
from which
to
draw
when
infant
diseases
(more fatal
to boys
than
girls),
war and work have
deleted
the
ranks
