PLAN METROPOLITAN AREA
Regional Planning Committee Is Or·
ganlzed at Meeting.
A permanent organization to
promote a metropolitan area with-
in a radius of 30 miles of Philadel-
phia was formed Tuesday night
at a meeting in the City Club,
called by the Philadelphia Re-
gional Planning Committee.
The organization will be known
as the "Regional 'Planning Fed-
eration of the Tri-State Metro-
politan Area of Philadelphia," em-
bracing Pennsylvania, New J er-
sey and Delaware. Six civic
bodies pledged their support and
more are expected to join the
movement.
Those promising active parti-
cipation are the Fairmount Park
Art Association, the City Club,
the Keystone Automobile Club,
Philadelphia Chapter, American
Institute of Architects, Motorists'
Association of Pennsylvania and
the I-lousing Association of Phila-
delphia.
A metropolitan area about
Philadelphia, with that city as the
hub, would embrace 2000 square
miles, and would unite 512 cities,
towns and villages.
Penna. Vital Statistics.
Pennsylvania's death rate for
1924 was one of the lowest in the
history of the State. Statistics com-
piled by Dr. Wilmer R. Batt, chief
of the bureau of vital statistics,
show that the 1924 death rate was
12.5 per 1000 of population. In
1923, the rate was 13.3 per 1000.
During the year, a total of 116,-
000 persons died in Pennsylvania.
That figme is approximately 7°°0
less than in 1923. The death rates
from tuberculosis ancl diseases of
infancy were the lowest in the his-
tory of the State in the past year,
Dr. Batt reported.
Seventy-one persons in each 100,-
000 unit of population died from tu-
berculosis of the lungs in 1924 as
contrasted with 75 in 1923. The
1924 infant mortality rate was 80
per JOOO births. In 1923, the rate
was 88, so that 2000 less babies
died from diseases of infancy in
J924 than in the preceding year.
Both the infant mortality and the
tuberculosis rates have been cut in
half in the last 18 years, Dr. Batt
reported. In 1906, the tuberculosis
rate was 130, while the infant
mortality rate was 167.
Contagious diseases which took a
large toll of death in former years
have now been robbed of much of
their terror, the death rate statistics
reveal. Typhoid fever which killed
off 4000 persons in 1906 was re-
sponsible for but 340 deaths in
19 2 4.
The principal causes of death in
1924 were heart disease, pneumonia
and violence. These three causes of
death contributed approximately
one-quarter of all the deaths in
Pennsylvania last year. The first
two are regarded as more or less
inevitable because people live longer
now than they did two decades ago.
"I f we watch om step a bit more
carefully when traveling and do not
go so fast on high gear all the time,"
Dr. Batt stated, "the numbers of
deaths fr0111 violence will be ma-
terially decreased and we will live
longer."
The deaths from violence include
automobile accidents, train colli-
sions. homicides and suicides as well
as the industrial mishaps that year-
ly take a large toll of human lives.
Your Income Tax.
If you are single and support in
your own home one or more per-
sons closely related to you and
over whom you exercise family
control, you' are the head of a
family and entitled under the reve-
nue act of 1924 to the same per-
sonal exemption allowed a mar-
ried person, $2500. In addition, a
taxpayer is entitled to a credit of
$,100 for each person dependent
upon him for chief support. if such
person is either under 18 years of
age or incapable of self~support
because mentally of physically de-
fective. Such dependent need not
be a member of the taxpayer's
household. For example, an un-
married son who supports in his
home an aged mother is entitled
to an exemption of $2500 plus the
$400 credit for a dependent, a to-
tal of $2900. If from choice the
mother lived in another city, the
son, although her chief support,
would be entitled only to the
$1000 exemption, plus the $400
credit. The mother not living
with him, he is not considered the
head of the family.
An exemption as the head of a
family can be claimed by only one
member of a household. . . ST. MARY'S LAUNDRY, INC.
The $400 credit does not apply
to the wife or husband of a tax-
payer, though one may be totlllly
dependent upon the other;' :
