WASHINGTON, June 3.-Three-
quarters of a billion dollars, at
very conservative estimate, is the an
nual money tax levied by ill-healt!l
upon wage-workers in the United
States in the form Of lost wages and
expenses of sickness. The greater
part OF this G gantic tax falls upon
those workers who are least able to
afford it, since sickness has been
found to be much more prevalent
among low-paid workers than among
those whose incomes are sufficient TO
provide sanitary housing, adequate
food and favorable surroundings in
the home and in the place of work.
These conclusions are among those
given in report on sickness insur-
ance to the Federal Commission on
Industrial Relations which was pre-
pared in cooperation with the Uni.-
ed States public health service. The
report was prepared by Surgeon g.
S. Warren, of the public health Sc
vice, who was detailed as sanitary
advisor to the commission, and Edgar
Sydenstricker, a member of the corl-
missions staff.
The estimate given above is based
on a careful examination of the sick
records of nearly million workers
in this country and is found to cor
respond very closely to the figu $
, afforded 10y the sick records for a
long period OF years Of about 10000 =
600 workers in Germany and Greet
Britain. 1t includes, the report points
out, merely the loss of wages during
| illness and the expenses Of medi al
attention, and does not take into cou-
sideration the impairment of the
workers efficiency and vigor, or the
cost of illness of members of bis
! family
The average wage-earner in the
United States loses approximately
| nine days every year on account Of
sickness, much of which is prevent
able, states the report. The real
! significance of these conclusions lies
! in the fact, as shown by statistics from
! large number of governmental and
other nvestigations, that fully one
half of the wage-earners in this
country do not receive incomes suffi-
cient to maintain healthful condi-
tions OF living. All experience in
the treatment of disease and in the
study of the economic conditions cf
sick persons agree that poverty and
sickness go hand in hand the report
says, and that it is among these low
paid workers and their families that

LONDON, May 20, by mail to
New York.-England's newest war

grey motor car "D-4S32'-that night

highways intermittcntly piercing the
upper darkness with flashes of ligHt
that tell military secrets. to enemy
submarines lowering off the coast.
The mystery rivals the most thrill
ing Of war time dramas with the eli
max yet to come.
Occupants of peaceful farmhouses
and villagers OF the quaint old Eng
lish scacoast towns are waiting Tor
the government to solve the mystery
that is the talk of the countryside.
Nightly they have seen the powerful
car dash madly past, huddled figure
bent low over the wheel. Some say
he wears the uniform of British
military officer while others are not
so sure. All OF them have seen the
piercing rays of the motors search

and the government sleuths are be-
ginning to think so too.

are actually at work on the east coast
is strengthened by an incident near
the scacoast at Sheerngham. This
