Blakeslee i Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 (AP) More twins, triplets and quads are being born in the United j States since the war began than before. The Bureau of the Census figures are: multiple births in 193324,220, and in 1942 a rise to 29,421. At first glance it looks as if Mars is adding romance and my&tery to war marriages. Investigation supports the romance, wipes out all the mystery, and gives Mars a bad score when it comes to pro-. ducing multiples. ' ' The reason there were more multiple births in 1942 than in ' ; 1933 was because many more : I babies were born, because the i UJS. birth rate went up. More I girls got married; a rush to the1 altar, which it will be recalled, started with the adoption of, Selective Service before United States entered combat. ' Along with the rising birth rate there naturally were more " twins and other multiples. There is no special credit to Mars. What's to his discredit in this multiple baby business is that the percentage of multiples actually declined. In 1933, of all babies born in the United States, 11 and a fraction per cent per thousand were twins, triplets or quads. The percentage stayed at 11 until 1940. Percentaee Dropped Beginning with the latter year, the percentage dropped to 10.8, went down one decimal point the next year and again a similar decimal point in 1942, the last year of completed census figures on babies. The medical reason for the percentage decline in nrooor-1 tion of mulUples is not clear ; But an explanation which comes i irom siausucs or birth rates! is entirely clear, children born later to the same mother. The American increase in babies during this war Is largely " among hew mothers, girls having their first babies. In round numbers, the babies born In the United States In the last 10 available years were 2.0C0.000 In 1933, a step-up to 2,100,000 In each of the following four years, then to 2,200,-C00 for two years, to 2.300.000 in 1940: 2.400.000 in 1941: 2.- 700,000 in 1942. Triplets were 220 In 1933 and 277 in 1942. Quads were five In each of those years. But in 1941,, which in marriages rates as a .war year, America had 12 sets of quads, which was twice as many as in the biggest previous year of the decade.

Among other suggestions in the committee's new pamphlet, "Tomorrows Children," are: A domestic service plan, with national status, and help for mothers before, during and after confinement; Children's "parking places" with an ancillary "sitters" ser-. vice to care for children while parents go out together; Maternity institutions based on the family unit, with private rc im.s rather than wards; Remedies to prevent landlords from discriminating against famUe- with children.
