Where We Fail
"North Carolina," according
to a bulletin issued by the in
formation service of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Com
pany, "is one of the 17 states
whose white city dwelling wage
earners showed a higher tuber
culosis death rate than the gen
eral urban industrial population
of the United States, according
to death claim figures based on
the 1923 mortality experience
of its 15,000,000 industrial pol
icyholders.
"The tuberculosis death rate
for the United States was 90.5
per 100,000 white industrial
policyholders, while that for
North Carolina was 111.0."
The Advance suspects, from
its own observation of housing
conditions in the East as com
pared with the Piedmont/or the
West, that the eastern half of
the State would show a higher
mortality than either of the oth
er sections. Industries in our
part of the State, as a rule, seem
less wide-awake to their obliga
tion to their employes than else
where in North Carolina.
