Question of How Family of
Moderate Means Can
Secure Adequate Medical
Attention to Be Taken
Up by Experts.

Washington, May % R-The ills
of the medical profession in relation
to charges made for treating the ills
of the people are to be investigated.
Plans for a five year program of
research by committee of eminent
physicians, sanitarians, economists,
and laymen with view to solving
the question of how a family of
moderate means can secure adequate
medical attention at a cost which it
can afford were announced here to-
day by DIR. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
president of Stanford university and
chairman Of the newly organized
committee.
The investigation. the first of its
kind ever to be attempted. will be
conducted jointly by the American
Medical association, the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company, the public
health service and other agencies.
Financial support has been supplied
by the Carnegie corporation, the
Milbank memorial fund. the Russell
Sage foundation and the Twentieth
Century fund.
"The Importance Of the problem
may be better appreciated" said DR..
Wilbur. when it is realized that the
present cost of illness to the people
Of the United tSates is probably
over 5000. 100000 per year."
He said there were million per-
sons engaged In curing and prevent
ing disease and more than five bill
lions invested in hospitals and other
equipment. yet "a large group OF
persons are not receiving needeS.
medical treatment at costs within
their means"
Complaints Of high charges are
becoming frequent, and l fear some

not the amount of the physicians
charge. Physicians. as a group. are
not earning adequate incomes, and
for many. hospitals and other facili-
ties for scientific work are lacking.
Nurses and dentists, too, fail to re-
ceive satisfactory returns for their
labors. Apparently it is the present
system which is at fault"
The research body. known as the
committee on the cost of medical
care. hopes by its findings to en-
courage practical experimentation
by the medical profession and the
public" and to lay the foundation
for adequate medical treatment to
the whole population at reasonable
cost under conditions which will
maintain the personal relations OF
the doctor and his patient and as
sure the physician. nurse. dentist,
and other agents adequate compen-
sation for services rendered"

Protest to President Beach.
Storrs, May % H}-The, ducking
stool, one of the Oldest forms OF
punishment for petty offenses In
New England, has passed out of
existence with the announcement
of its discontinuance at Connecticut
Agricultural college.
No more will the green freshly"
who violates the code Of ethics set
in his "bible" be tied to ducking
stool and immersed in the duck
pond on the campus before the
presence Of the student body, all
because members OF the freshman
and sophomore classes entered a
protest to President Charles L.
Beach,
This is the second time that a
crimpS in sophomore justice has
been followed. In 1926 hazing was
banned following Il suit brought
against the sophomore class by a
freshman.
At one time the ducking stool
had its place in all New England
along with its whipping post. Those
convicted OF gossiping were seated
on the stool and treated to liquid
refreshment.

which engineers feared would col
lapse and flood a large farming
district south Of here, today was
reported to be withstanding the
pressure of about 10000 acre feet
Of water without definite indica-
tons of q break.
Arrival of zoo more volunteers to
aid the 800 odd men who worked
yesterday and last night to erect a
dixie to reinforce the main struc-
ture, was said to have enabled en-
gineers to partly control leaks in
the huge structure. However. those
in charge said the. seepage had not
been fully stopped.
Strengthen Dixie
Strengthening of the temporary
dixie was effected after water start
ed pouring over it threatening to
wash out some of the sand bags
and bales of hay used in its con-
struction. When a section OF the
dixie settled, reports were circu-
lated that collapse of the main dam
was imminent. Upwards of $4,000
residents OF the territory below the
dam either left for higher ground
or were ready to fee should the
structure break.
The dam is located about 1870
miles south of here at the head OF
Pleasant Valley, a narrow precipi-
tous gorge stretching for 10 miles
to Price Canyon, which gradually
spreads to a width Of four miles at
the town of Price. SO miles to the
south. approximately 1000 ranch
homes are located on shelves along
the walls of the two canyons, some
Of which are too high to be reached

Dr. H. ]. Schirson Denia Operation on Sadie Holland

Chicago, Feb. , R1Bood trans- fusion. performed in an attempt to save the life of Miss Sadie Holland. whose legs were amputated when gangrene set in following . 'beauty'' operation, had resulted in . slight improvement in her condition today. Dr. Paul Magnuson performed the transfusion yesterday after Miu Holland suffered . secondary hemorrhage and her condition be- came alarming.
 Miss Holland underwent an oper- ation several days ago in an effort to have her limbs, which she said were slightly bowed, straightened.
 Dr. Henry J. schireson. prominent surgeon, made general denial. both to authorities and to the press, that he had performed the operation.
 At q hearing yesterday he told John w. Follmer. chief inspector for the state department of regis tration and education, that an as- sistant, Dr. s. D. Zaph, professor of surgery at the Chicago Osteopathic hospital. had operated on Miss Hol- land. Dr. Schireson explained that he himself had removed . scar from Miss Hollands shoulder during the progress of the leg-straightening operation. and that was how he happened to be present.
 But" interrupted Charles Muel- Ter. assistant states attorney, T un- derstood Dr. Zaph to state here Wednesday that you operated ana he assisted
 "He operated" repeated Dr. schireson. T had nothing to do with the leg operation. There were about IF witnesses-the surgical nurse. the anaesthetist-the whole surgical staff. in fact.'
 He said he left for New York shortly afterward and while therc was notified that the girls family had called another physician who removed her to another hospital.
 T specifically forbade removal.' he said, "and declared I would hold those who moved her responsible for anything that happened to her."
 Dr. Schireson has filed suit against Dr. Henry Millstone and Archie Cohen, an attorney, for s250.000 for alleged defamation o, character growing out of the Hol- land strl's case.

10 create a true home, how

thlngs in combination, out with
cat insurance protection no

TO begin with. its cost would
oe almost prohibitive. Bedding
materials, if those who deal in
them had no fire insurance,
T2cld ultimately soar in price.
From the first breaking of
ground to the driving of the
final nail, the savings of the
cwner might be wiped out in a
few minutes by fire. After the
home, which possible represent
ed the savings of a life time,
was finished and occupied, the
re would be the ever present
risk of complete destruction by
fire.
Even if the owner wishes to-
assume this risk. it is generally
necessary to borrow some mon
ey Tor home building purposes,
and the agencies with money to
loan would not accept such a.
ilsk except at an exorbitant
rate, without insurance protect
ion. With adequate insurance,
the worl looks upon money in

asset.
