COI'NTY INFANT MORALITY The report of the division of public health of the state of Indiana reveales an unexpected variation, from year to year, in infant mortality of Putnam county. There was a sharp increase in that rate in 1935 over the rate for 1932. The deaths of infants under one county, in 1933. was 34 and in 1935, year of age per 1.04)0 births in the it had risen to 51. The figure was the same in 1934 also. The infant death rate in 1931 was the highest of the period covered in the report, it leaching 63 per 1,000 births, that year. However the total births in the county in 1935 was 292. so that 51 infant deaths that year, on the basis of 1,000 births, would indicate an actual infant mortality of the county that year of less than 20.
