a week are insured without cost to
them. Contributions are not paid by
the workman during sickness or unem-
ployment and cease entirely when ne
reaches the age of seventy years. The
act makes it illegal for the employer
to deduct his own proper contribution
from the workers wage; he must de-
duct only the workers share, A spe-
cial provision modifies contributions in
cases where employers maintain their
workpeople in sickness. Men and
women of all ages up to. sixty'$ive
years are treated alike in respect to
contributions. Insurance cost is no
more at forty years Of age than at
sixteen. The age handicap, necessari-
~ imposed by private insurance COM
panies, is entirely absent from the
British scheme.
What are the benefits?
The member of parliament from
Northampton, H. B. Lees Smith, and
the managing director of great
wholesale establishment Of London,
Wilkie Calvert (brother of DR.. Sidney
Calvert, professor of chemistry at che
University of Missouri), summarized
these benefits:
Sickness and Other Benefits.
The workman pays eight cents a
week or less. His benefits are the
same whatever he pays. These bene-
fits include free medical attendance
and free medicine, sickness benefit,
disablement or invalidity pension, ma
ternity benefit, sanitarium benefit.
Free medical attendance and free
medicine are provided to the worker
who becomes i'll. This provision has
been sharply attacked by the British
doctors. The sickness benefit varies
in amount. Ordinarily it is $3.50 a
week for men and $175 a week for
women for 26 weeks. Sickness bene-
fits cease at seventy years Of age,
when the old age pension becomes
payable. If sickness continues long
eg than rs weeks, SLIPS week Is paid
during the remainder of the sickness,
however long it may be. Provision is
made for certain reduction in benefits
when members are in arrears with
their contributions, but no one is sus-
pended from medical, sanitarium and
maternity benefits until more than rs
weeks in arrears. Insured women,
married or unmarried, and the wives
of insured men. whether insured or
not, receive maternity benefit Of
$3.50 in addition to sickness benefit,

Woman's Love Strcno.

The love of woman far a man truly
often passeth all understanding. Many
waters cannot quench it, and disgrace
and poverty touch it not at all; even
neglect and deliberate insult have
often failed to destroy it.

certain fame from book that his
wife helped him to write. She not
only practically rewrote the book
after he had finished it, but had 1t
published out of money she had saved,
penny by penny, from her housekeep-
ing allowance, supplemented by what
che received for doing fine needlework.
She starved with that man and nursed

became effective only in July, 1912.
Under the act, every employed person
from sixteen to seventy years of age,
whose income does not exceed $500 a
year, Is compulsorily insured against
sickness, in whatever manual or other
occupation engaged, with certain
rather unimportant exceptions. Those
earning more than $500 q year by
manual labor alone are also compul.
sorily insured. In a British population
Of 45.00O.000. the act includes, approx
mately, 100000 in its provisions.
The act also provides that other per
sons, not included in the compulsorily
assured class, may join under certain
nditions.
~ "ts Cents Worth for 8 Cents"
The insurance fund Is derived from
three sources, the worker, the employ
er. the national treasury. Here arises
one Of the strongest criticisms Of the
act, both employer and workman
claiming his contribution to be too
large. The weekly subscription of the
workman earning more than 1915 q
week Is Is cents, of which the work
man pays eight cents. the employer
six cents and the national treasury
four cents or its equivalent. In addi-
ton, the state pays the cost of central
administration and large grants to-
wards hospitals and medical benefits.
When workman's wages are less
than 1915 a week, he pays a less pro-
portion to the insurance fund and the
employer pays more. Insured women
pay one-fourth less than insured men.
The workman thus buys Is cents
worth of insurance for eight cents.

and she was rewarded when fame
came to him by having him turn his

woman.
Time passed on, and his luck
changed again. He lost out second

she went to him, for he was deserted,
of course, by the one who had been

days, and took him home and nursed
him back to life and decency again.

Again there are those who say that.

between two women, where both are

Many women today live quite as de-

they are human, not because they are,
women, they jealousy guard every
privilege and every possible encroach-
ment upon such liberty.
Because a woman is a woman she is
interested in the sorrows of other
women. Few men can bear the idea
OF condoling with a friend; they want
to fly from woman in trouble, and
while they'll give materially to help
any man friend, it's asking pretty
much Of them to give spoken consola-
ton and companionship to such an,
one.

Woman Sends Him Away.

And time went on and the judges in
the city found that they had made a
mistake and that they had unjustly
eXllod their former companion and
friend. And messengers were sent
forth in the desert to bring him back
in all honor.
And his return was celebrated as a
holiday and al his old friends gath
cred around to welcome him.
But it was the woman who had sent
him away that rode with him in his
triumphal procession. The other wom-
an had hidden herself in the desert,
thinking that he would turn his back
on all the world to find her. But he
did not.
And the man justified himself after
this fashion to the woman who had
turned away from him when she be
lieved him guilty:
10, thou art that which all men
worship in woman, thou embodiment
of honor and purity"
And the woman in the desert never
came back, but the man, so the old
fable reads, lived happily or unhappily
with the other all the days Of his life.
The woman in the desert typines
the woman with soul above conven-
tons; whose love rules her life and
whose loyalty only asks for a test
to prove 1t. In modern life we often
see cases that are very similar. And
very often the woman meets the same
fate as the woman in the fable. She
is forgotten when the time comes for
the triumphal browning.

PERSECUTION OF GREEKS

Editor The Georgian:
l read with the greatest interest
your editorial on the persecution
of Jews in Russia, and l wish to
congratulate you upon your stand
for humanity. Nobody nowadays
should dispose of the lives of hu-
man beings as atrcciously as the
Jewish race seems to be disposed
of in Russia.
But while | admire your ear
nestness in defending innocent
people living so far away (Which
makes your sentiments still no.
bler), wish to ask you a simple
question.
Do you really think that the
life of a Jew is before God worth
any more than that of a Greek. an
American or even a Turk?
Do you think that Jews per-
secuted in Russia lit does not
matter for what cause or reason
should find more protection in
America and the Russions should
be stigmatized for their deeds

All Churches Interested
in Episcopal Change
of Name.

One Of the questions that are to
come up for debate has TO do with
the change Of name. 1t is the de-
sire OF q considerable element of
the Episcopal body that 1t should
be rechristened under the title Of
The American Church
Although this is a matter in
which Episcopalians themselves
are primarily concerned and which
1t will be for them. and for no one
else, to decide, yet It ia Of interest
to other denominations, whether
Catholic or Protestant, and even
to those who are not actively afr
lated with any denomination.
The criticism which has been
expressed that such a designation
shows leaning toward the union
OF Church and State has no great
force, for the sharp discrimination
between the two is too deeply i'm
bedded In the American mind to
allow of any solichude In that d.
rection, or to warrant the suspi-
cion that any number Of Bpiscopa-
lians are pressing toward such an
aim. However closely related
Church and State may be in GER
tain points, the two are or
ganically distinct. and no one sup
poses that on American ground
they will ever be anything else.
There Is more force in the other
criticism. made not only by non
oonformists, but by many members
Of the Episcopal body, that such
name carries upon 1t the aspect of

look of the thing 1t would seem
like the case of a boy-one Of
many brothers-who should say,

there are OF us"
We should not like to suppose
that such an idea lies in any Bpis.
copal mind. l am only speaking of
the first look of the thing. The
