Until. th« age of eighty years more deatb of m^e members of the race are ree- . orded, tUs is accounted for by th« fact tiiat there an more .nm than women. Conceding that numbers of boft sexes are about even at this age of ssvehty, a great number of the sur viving men die during the next de- iade, after which the mortality rate for women leads; There were -780 womea over 85 years, old died during the year, and of 1910, and only 534 men of the same age died; 245 people over 100 years old ided during the year, and of this number 149 were women. These figures would seem to prove that the older women die faster than the men, but actually a great many women live to greater old age than men, hence the: greater mortality in the advanced ages. About the same proportions hold good among the colored races in this country—negroes, Mongolians, Ma lays and Indians. Although compris ing only about one-seventeenth of the population of the country, a more than proportionate number of deaths occur at advanced ages, 126 living to be over 100 years old.
