These figures of the census bureau are regarded as interesting in view of the fact that the birth rate per 1000 American born white women is only 42. The rate for negro wom en is 52.8. The very high birth rate for Ital ians and Japanese, the bureau ex plains, is due to the abnormally large proportion of the female population between the ages of 15 and 44 years.
