The value of this chart would have been increased if the tonnage for each of the four

divisions had been given.

3. The choice of shadings was unfortunate, since at the point where the two sections,

"waterways" and "highways," meet, the bar seems to sag.

4. The Federal Chart Book is an experimental publication and does not stand as a document for general use. As a result, the illustrations are in a tentative and not necessarily final form.

B. Percentage Distribution by Selected Causes of Deaths in the United States in 1935.

1. The 100% bar chart is a classification chart with percentages graphically presented. It

gives the component parts of the total along a straight line. By making the line a bar, the component parts are more easily identified and compared.

2. Note that the percentage for each of the seven divisions is given within each section.

3. The use of connecting lines to identify small sections of a 100% bar chart with its title

is here demonstrated.
