North Italians. The 22.3 per cent of the English in the Middle West reporting visits is widely different from the 8.9 per cent of the totals in that section, but in the case of most of the races but little variation is noted. In the South, considerable proportions of Germans and Slovaks, but small proportions of the other three races, are shown to have made visits abroad.

The table indicates, in general, that the majority of the various races reporting visits are from the East. The North Italians, Welsh, English, Swedes, and Slovaks, however, show uniformly large proportions who have visited their native countries in each division in which they are represented.

The following table shows, by sex and by general nativity and race of head of household, the percentage of persons in the households. studied who are in each specified age group:

[This table includes only races with 80 or more persons reporting. The totals, however, are for all races.]

TABLE 112.-Per cent of persons within each age group, by sex and by general nativity and race of head of household—Continued.

Of the males in the households studied, 16.1 per cent are under 6 years of age; 10.9 per cent are from 6 to 13; 2.2 per cent are from 14 to 15; 6.4 per cent are from 15 to 19; 30.7 per cent are from 20 to 29; 26 per cent are from 30 to 44; and 7.8 per cent are 45 years or over. The proportion of children under 15 is largest in the households the heads of which are whites native-born of native father and smallest in the households of the foreign-born. Upon the other hand, the proportion of males of the age of greatest industrial efficiency, from 20 to 44 years, is largest in the foreign-born households, and slightly larger in the households of the whites native-born of native father than in those of the persons native-born of foreign father. Among the foreign-born the households of Greek, Bulgarian, and Servian heads have, in the order mentioned, the largest proportion, and those of Bohemian and Moravian, English, Scotch, and Irish heads the smallest proportion of individuals from 20 to 29 years of age. The proportion of males from 30 to 44 years of age is largest in the households of Roumanian, Magyar, Greek, and Bulgarian heads, in the order named, and smallest in those of Scotch, Irish, English, and Slovenian heads.

Of the total females in the households studied 23.2 per cent are under 6 years of age; 17.9 per cent are from 6 to 13; 3.1 per cent are from 14 to 15; 5.9 per cent are from 16 to 19; 24.5 per cent are from 20 to 29; 18.7 per cent are from 30 to 44; and 6.7 per cent are 45 years old or over. The proportion of females from 16 to 19 years of age is largest in the households of the whites native-born of native father, and smallest in the households of the foreign-born. The proportion of females from 20 to 29 years of age is largest in the households of negroes native-born of native father and smallest in the households of white persons native-born of native father. The proportion of women from 30 to 44 years of age is largest in the households of the negroes native-born of native father, and smallest in the households of the native-born of foreign fathers; and the proportion of women 45 years of age or over is largest in the households of the native-born of foreign father and smallest in the foreign-born households.

Of the 11,904 persons of both sexes reporting, the table shows that the greater proportion in the households studied are from 20 to 29 and from 30 to 44 years of age. The proportions next in rank are of those under 6 and from 6 to 13 years of age. A comparatively small percentage are 45 years of age or over, followed by persons in the group from 16 to 19 years of age, while the proportions of persons 14 and 15 years old are very small.

The households the heads of which are native-born of native father have the highest percentage of persons from 14 to 15 years of age, and those whose heads are foreign-born the lowest. Of persons from 16 to 19 years of age, households whose heads are whites native-born of native father show the greatest proportion, followed closely by households whose heads are negroes, and persons native-born of foreign father, and foreign-born, in the order named.

In the group of persons from 20 to 29 years of age the households whose heads are foreign-born show the highest percentage, while the households whose heads are native-born of foreign father show the highest percentage of persons 45 years of age or over.

Of the Germans and Irish who were native-born of foreign father the Irish have the highest percentage of children under 6 and from 6 to 13 years of age, and the Germans the highest percentage in the groups from 14 to 15 and from 16 to 19 years of age. Among the households whose heads were foreign-born the North Italians, Poles, and Slovenians have a high percentage, while the Bulgarians show an extremely low percentage, and the Greeks no persons who were under 6 years of age. In the groups from 6 to 13 years and from 14 to 15 years of age Bulgarians, Greeks, Servians, and Roumanians show very small proportions, while Bohemians and Moravians and Scotch have high percentages. Of persons from 16 to 19 years of age Irish and English show the highest percentage, and Poles and Greeks the lowest. In the age group from 20 to 29 years Greeks, Bulgarians, and Servians have very high percentages, and English and Bohemians and Moravians very small proportions when contrasted with the other races in the table. The English and French show considerably higher percentages of persons 45 years of age or over than do the other races, while the percentages of Greeks, Bulgarians, Servians, Croatians, and Ruthenians in this group are very low. Persons belonging to the older immigrant races from Great Britain and northern Europe are evenly distributed through the different age groups.

In addition to the members of the households studied the employees were classified according to age. The relative proportion in each specified age group is shown in the table next submitted, while the accompanying chart shows the per cent 14 to 19 years of age.

TABLE 113.-Per cent of male employees within each age group, by general nativity and race-Continued.

Of the total number of male employees the largest proportions are 20 to 24, 25 to 29, and 35 to 44 years of age. The male employees native-born of foreign father are most frequently 14 to 19, 20 to 24, and 35 to 44 years of age. Of the native-born whose fathers were born in Austria-Hungary and Italy the greater proportion are 14 to 19. Of the foreign-born the Macedonians and Roumanians show the largest proportion of male employees who are 14 to 19 years of age. The races distributed most largely in the age groups 35 to 44, 45 to 54, and 55 or over are the races of past immigration from Great Britain and northern Europe, while the greater proportion of the members of races of recent immigration from southern and eastern Europe are from 20 to 29 years old.
