Chamber Of Commerce
Urges Health Insurance

Boston, March 1S-That there is
urgent need for health insurance is
the conclusion reached by the Boston
Chamber of Commerce. A committee
Of nine members, with Mr.: Eeverett
Morse as chairman, has unanimously
recommended that q small paid COM
mission should be created to investi-
gate special health problems in Mas
sachusetts, to discover the probable
cost Of alternative plans of insurance,
to inquire into a progressive method
Of sickness prevention, and to submit
a tentative bill. This report has been
accepted by the Board Of Directors.
THE economic cost to every COM
munity of preventable or durable dis
cases." states the Chamber of Com
merce Committee, sis especially great
because Of the unusual prevalence of
sickness and death among the un-
skilled and low-wage industrial work
ers."
A certain, amount Of voluntary
health insurance exists, according to
the committee, but only a relatively
small number of workers are reached
and insurance . provisions now are
generally Inadequate.
voluntary insurance against sick
ness is taken advantage of only by the
thrifty and well-paid industrial work
ers," states the report, land does not
reach those who need it most"
European experience, the commit
tee finds, ''has established the feet
that compulsory health insurance. is
the only means by which the great
mass of the poorer paid working men
will receive necessary medical care

HOUSE ACCEPTS
AMENDMENT TO
K. OF C. CHARTER
Afternoon Sessions of Leg
islators Begins at Hart
ford With Plenty of
Business.
Especial to The Farmer

Hartford, March 28.-WithOut OPP
yesterday afternoon, in the first of it's
afternoon meetings in this general
assembly, adopted the measure de-
signed to include Michael E. Tracey
and William H. SellwOod of New Ha-
ven in the roster of interpretations of
the Knights of Columbus.
This was done through the COM
mittee on interpretations which con-
Quoted hearing on the measure sew
eral weeks ago. Opposition to the
measure developed at the hearing,
from the national officers Of the Or
ganization, who asked the legislators
to- allow the organization itself to set
tie it's own affairs.
There was no opposition to the re-
port, however, and 1t was unanimous
ly adopted. It amends the charter
of 1882, granted to the Knights Of
Columbus, so as to include the names
Of the two men whose names had been
omitted from the original document
through a clerical error.
Among the score Of other matters
acted on during the afternoon was
a measure of interest to insurance
company investors. It would legal
ize the investment by insurance COM
panies in electric light enterprises,
which are considered good invest
ments, but now are excluded by the
provision that manufacturing enter
prises are not to be considered as le-
gal investments for such funds. A
ruling that electric lighting plants
are to be considered manufacturing
plants has barred such, investments,
but as there has been no opposition
to the measure, it is expected that the
Senate will concur with the house in
accepting the report of the commit
tee on interpretations which recon-
mends the change.
The house adopted a measure which
bans the. use Of silencers on firearms
in hunting. This is designed to do
away with the pot hunting of song
birds, which is said to be practiced
to a considerable extent through the
use Of si1encers. The present laws
prohibit the use of silencers on shot
guns, but the change proposed ex-
tends the prohibition to all firearms in
hunting.

MIR, SMITH PROFITS

Fred Smith, the proprietor of the
cigar store at Stratford avenue and
Lyon street is telling Of the handsome
manner in which he was treated by
the Consolidated road by reason of his
having a little judgment in his deal
ings with that corporation. Mr.. Smith
had a five year lease Of the store
when the block was bought from
James Gregory by the company. He
might have obtained a good price for
the lease if he had held out for it
and the company was willing tO pay
all the lease was worth.
Mr.. Smith when approached by an
agent of the company, said he would
give up the lease with no other con-
sideration that he be allowed the
privilege Of selling cigars on the same
corner, no matter if his establish
ment was no larger than a dry goods
box.
When the matter was reported to
President Clark he directed that
when improvements are made Mr..
Smith shall be given the best corner
of the property and the cigar stand
privilgese of the new depot. He was
glad to meet one man who would not
be unreasonable when he had an ad-
vantage over the company.

PAINTING BRIDGES WHITE
This interesting item recently ar

A Tama County Bridge on the
Lincoln Highway in the Indian Re-
seryation and over the Iowa River
Il painted white. People who cross
this bridge at night who are accus-
toned To the black or red bridges
Of the majority of Iowa Counties.
are struck with the ease with which
the outlines Of the bridge are noted.
As a matter Of Highway safety, it
would seem to be good thing to
paint bridges white. The same
color should prevail on guard rails
erected on fills and at dangerous
turns where such safe guards are
erected. In South Dakota, il is be-
coming a customary practice in some
sections TO paint all bridges white.
