AIRsHlPS ARE HERE TO STAY
Major Driant, Expert In Questions Of

In DIrigibles.

The French military authorities, In

convinced that the big German dirig-

tive factor in warfare. Major Driant.

said, according to the New York Tribt
une:
"The Zeppelin catastrophe does not
shake one iota of my faith In big dirig-
ibles. Ii is true that the Germans have
had many accidents, and in time of
war they will have many more, but az
an Offset we must remember the enor-
nous service these dirigibles are cap
able of rendering in actual warfare.
For instance, a dirigible can carry
eight tons of dynamite, and can drop
it, or any portion of il, at whatever
point its commander may select. Sup
pose war breaks out between Germany
and England and one dirigible costing
S300.000 and handled by 20 men gets In

The best proof CT this theory is the
confident perseverance of Germans In
steadily increasing their fleet of Yep
pelins. a perseverance that offers US a
most wholesome example.
Il do not underestimate the value Of

ship must be equipped with a catching

In this way it can be lifted from the

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-five
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-
ly imposed by private insurance COM
panies, is entirely absent from the
British scheme.
What are the benefits?
The member of parliament from
Northampton, II. B. Lees Smith, and
the managing director of a great
wholesale establishment of London,
Wilkie Calvert (brother of DR.. Sidney
Calvert, professor of chemistry at the
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 Ill. This provision has
been sharply attacked by the British
doctors. The sickness benefit varies
in amount. Ordinarily 1t is $3.50 a
week for men and s1.75 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
er than 26 weeks. $1.25 week is paid
during the remainder of the sickness,
however long it may be. Provision is
made for certain reduction In beneflts
when members are In arrears with
their contributions, but no one is sus-
pended from medical, sanitarium and
maternity benefits until more than 26
weeks in arrears. Insured women,
married or unmarried, and the wives
of insured men, whether insured OF
not, receive a maternity benefit oi
$3.50 in addition to sickness benefit

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
year, is compulsorily insured against
sickness. in whatever manual or other
occupation engaged, with certain
rather unimportant exceptions. Those
earning more than $500 a year by
manual labor alone are also compul-
sorily insured. In British population
of 45,000,000, the act includes, approx
mately, 100000 in it's provisions.
The act also provides that other per-
sons, not included In the compulsorily
insured class. may join under certain
conditions.
"1s Cents Worth for 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 1878 a
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 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.
Those whose wages are less than Sits

and relief from payment of contribu-
tions. 1t is estimated that when the
scheme is fully at work a million
mothers in Great Britain will each
year receive this benefit at a cost
to the nation, on this account
alone, of $7,500.000. Under the sana-
torium benefit the state provides for
free treatment and care, in sanatoriums
or at home, of persons who contract
tuberculosis,< The insurance commits
sioners may schedule other diseases
also for institutional treatment. These
are the minimum benefits. Other ben
efits, possible with prudent manage
ment of the insurance funds, include
larger old age pensions and higher
sick. disablement and maternity pay
and convalescence allowances.
Administered Through FraternaI Socl-
eties.
The administration of the act is
through the government, which util-
ICES the friendly societies. trades
unions and other approved organiza-
tons-and through the postal savings
bank for deposit contributors whom no
friendly society would insure. The
friendly societies correspond, to a de-
gree, to mutual insurance companies
In the United States. The insured thus
control the working of the scheme.
The act makes safe and solvent the
fraternal or friendly society and in
cTeases its benefits. provided unon re
peated examination the society or
lodge shows approvable management.
But how does the insurance act ben
efit the employer? What does he re-
ceiye In return for his contribution of
six cents a week.
