Births, marriages and deaths, plucked from the cold official columns of figures in the medical and civil tables, take on a new significance.

In 1933 our birth-rate fell to 14.4 per 1,000. Only Austria and Sweden have a lower rate.. Marriages totalled 318,191, or 11,000 more than in 1932-a record except for the years 1915 and 1919-21 when special conditions prevailed,

There were more divorces than ever-the 1928 record was eclipsed. But the number of those who gave marriage "another chance" also rose.
