Vital Statistics of Petrograd for 1915
Some of the results of the Euro
pean war can be seen in the effect
that it has had on the birth and death
rate of Petrograd, in the year 1915.
The population last year was 1,850,
000 and what stands out very promi
nently is the fact that there were 2,
100 more deaths reported for that
year than births, thus showing the
effect of the war on the status of the
population.
The death rate from typhoid fever
was over 40 per hundred thousand of
population and it should not have
been more than ten or twelve. Four
hundred and fifty deaths were report
ed from smallpox, and the deaths
from measles, diphtheria and scarlet
fever were far and away above what
the normal rate should have been.
Tuberculosis was almost doubled. Two
hundred and fifty out of every thou
sand children born during the year
died during their first year, or one out
of every four. This rate should have
been about one out of every ten.
Undoubtedly the very young and
the very old and the women particu
larly those who are nursing children,
are the greatest sufferers as a result
of the war so far as Russia is con
cerned, and this fact will in time
show its effect on the population of
the country in years to come in the
way of weak and poorly developed
young adults who will later make a
poorly developed people. The whole
secret of the matter is that they have
not sufficient food and are ’ enduring
too great hardships made necessary
because of the absence of the bread
winners.
If the respective governments of
the several countries engaged in this
great struggle do the right thing by
their remaining citizens they will in
so far as is possible attempt to re
place the loss suffered by the death of

NEW YORK Dec. 1.—“Why Does a
Girl Shut Her Eyes When Kissed by
a Man?” is a live topic that is agitat
ing the east just now, started by some
learned gentleman who has been de
voting considerable thought to the
subject.
Here are the interviews that start
ed the debate:
A suffragist was the first to ex
press her opinion.
“I’m sure I have not the slightest
idea,” she said, “unless the girl is
ashamed of being such a silly fool as
to kiss the brute.”
From a young wife came this:
“She is thinking, ‘Oh Lord, how I
have been cheated!”'
A young unmarried woman said
this:
“If you have ever seen a male
‘mug’ at close range—or ever looked
in a mirror—you ought to understand
why a girl shuts her eyes when a
man kisses her.”
Another said this:
“Perhaps for the same reason that
men like to be blindfolded before they
are shot, or have to face any other
terrible ordeal.”
Ah! She Is Intoxicated.
But one sweet young thing, made
up of loveliness alone, answered the
question with melting eye and a rapt
expression:
"Ah, it is because she is drugged
—intoxicated by the sweetness and
joy of it. She closes her eyes involun
tarily to let the mystic thrills pene
trate, dreaming, through her soul.”
Well, girls, who is right?
