decline must have been with the male babies bat- cause after trailing behind the boys for the past four months the giru made a real spurt and led the months registry with 40 recorded births ag ainst only 24 boys this brings the grand total of birtha for 11 months of 1035 to 1072 of which 344 were boys and 328 girls- from this it will be seen that as they head into the stretch the final month of the year the boys lead but only with the narrow margin of 18 which is exactly the same as the number hy which the girls led the boys in nov ember its a peck and neck race with no odds given as the number of births at peel memorial in 1054 was 1111 and only 30 more births in december are re quired to pass that mark it now ap pears certain that a new high will be chalked up when tha 1033 figures
