NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (U, P).— It isn't only in your town—all America _ is expecting another

The national birth rate made its first spurt in 1941, the year after congress adopted the selective serv-{ fce law. Tt was the higgest jump since the first world war. The rate continued to climb in 1942 and 1943 despite a nationwide shortage of hospital beds and a In 1943 there was 2.935,171 babies born in the United States-an all-time high. The 1944 figures aren't available yet but it was estimated they will bring a new record which will be broken in turn by the 1945 total. If the birth rate pattern ofy the second world war follows that of the

first the figure will swell to a new i

peak in 1948. . Lying-In Reduced It was three years after the last, war—after almost all the soldiers and sailors were home from over-.
