shown, according to DR.. Sirovich, that
underlying dependency in old age are
the following forces over which the in
dtvidual has little or no control In
duStrial or economic approximation,
inadequate wages, physical incapacity
and lack of family connections.
Official studies of the problem show
that dependency in old age due to i'm
providence, intemperance, tllriftleSsness
or vice is the exception rather than the
rule. Present-day old age poverty must
be laid to the demands of our dr:"t'cg G
industry, which neceSsitates the scrap
ping of the worker at an earlier and
earlier age, DR.. Sirovich insists.
The State commissions that have been
studying the subject are unanimous
that our poorhouseS are inadequate,
antiquated and exceedingly costly; Only
in rare instances do the almShouSes
provide real care for the sick. A great
majority of the keepers in charge are
utterly UNIT for their positions.
Seven States already have given rec
ognition to the principle OF old-age pen
sions by Legislative enactment. Since
1920 old-age pension bills have been in
| troduced into most State Legislatures
Three bills providing for old-age pen
sions are now pending in Congress. In
10 States and one Territory the Legs
| latures actually have passed old-age
pension bills. At present laws providing
for old-age pensions are on the statute
books of the States Of Massachusetts,
Montana, Nevada, Wisconsin, Kentucky
Colorado, Maryland and the Territory
of Alaska. SIn Montana and Wisconsin
these pensions have been paid for a
number of years. 1t has been found
that the cost of supporting person on
pension amounts to only one half or
one-third Of the cost of supporting the
same person In 0 county alnsho1se.

that Mr.. Richey was the man that he
wanted most closely, conf1dentially, be-
side him in Washington.
1t was in 1917. Mr.. Hoover had just
returned to this country from his man
agement of the relief of Belgium. He
had just begun his labors as United
States food administrator. Mr.. Richey
was in the insurance business. He was
representing SO insurance companies in
IT States in determined scientific
effort to get better municipal legislation
and better municipal police action
against theftS of automobiles. He was
very familiar with municipal govern
mental conditions, especially in Chi
cago, which was his home.
Made Police Survey.
In 1912 he had been the manager of
an inquiry by the Civil Service Commits
sion of Chicago into Chicago Police De-
partment methods and results. He had
hit upon an unerring device for detect
ing and proving police corruption or in
competency. This device was so in
genious and at the same time so direct
and simple that it deserves recounting
as an apt Illustration of Mr.. Richey'S
administrative manners.
In the usual investigation of police
behavior the start is in trying to catch
some police officials taking tainted
money. Mr.. Richey did not make that
start at all.
His first move was to send detectives
of his own into each suspected police
district to make scientific survey there
of disorderly houses and of gambling re-
sorts, and of other abodes and centerS
of lawbreaking. When this survey had
been completed he began summoning
police captains to the witness stand!
Captain, what are the conditions in
your district? Any prostitution? Any
gambling? Any albright saloons? Any
caves of banditS?"
That would be the question.
The captain, in answer would almost
invariably state that no such deplorable
doings were psrnlitted by him ct any

time, as follows:

ing for a wage, as against those en-
gagged in businesses of their own or in
agriculture, has been rapidly increasing.
The drift from the farm to the indus
trial centers continues, and this means
that more and more are depending upon
a wage for livelihoods.
(2) The heightened period of life has
simply created longer period of old
age AS against an average span of life
in the United States of 40 years in 1855,
the present span of life is So years.
Under conditions OF 1901, out of
a total of 100000 persons born about
Al 900 would reach the age of IS. Under
present conditions more than $4,000 out
of the 100000 will live to reach the age
of SIS. Investigations have shown that
at least one out of every three persons
reaching the age of SIS falls dependent
upon others for his support, either in
part or entirely. Approximately D.
900, 900 aged American men and women
are so dependent today.
Working Age Shortened.

Captain, how do you explain the

The explanations, the lame and i'm
potent explanations, were such that
police heads tumbled into the guillotine
basket in profusion. Mr.. Richey's in
ouiries through his detectives had been
so competently and exactly done that
there was no laughing them off and
no crying them of. Chicago might be
bit different now if Mr.. Richey then

of police. He then, however, was only

Imperative Need for Old-Age Pensions
To Care for Workers i'm, y. S. Cited

The growing interest in the States
for establishment of old-age pension
systems is emphasized by Representa-

Q, physician Of wide experience. in adj
vocating Federal old-age pension law
AS long as this country was pre-
dominantly agricultural. with wide
spaces of free and fertile lands, when
every physically normal person could
go out and become independent, Repre-
sentative Sirovich said, there might
have been some ground for the belief
that if a man had not been thrifty
enough to secure independence in his
old age society owed him but little in
his declining years.
But conditions have changed. From
an overwhelmingly agricultural nation
only a generation ago we have deyel-
oped into one Of the most highly or
ganized industrial countries in the
world he points out. People no longer
work for themselves as they used to do,
but are more and more coming to de-
pend upon their Jobs for their daily
bread The possibility of going back to
the farm is not considered any more.
Even the heads Of the largest industrial
concerns and railroad corporation no

of their stores and are merely operat-
ing them for some chain company. Old

under our modern wage system, Repre-
sentative Sirovich points out

IL Presidents three co-equal sec
retaries. The unaided eye can
see what the other two are doing. Mr.

effectively with ladies and gentlemen

Mr.. Richey is in the very core and
marrow of Mr.. Hoover's activities, and
has been for II years. He is also IN
a very quiet and extremely orderly and
altogether businesslike room in the
front of the executive wing of the
White House. The atmosphere of this
room seems wholly one of business

flecklessly devoid of all arrears of any
sort. Things seem to go OF 1t as fast

ways not so much to be struggling with
something as to have just finished
something He then turns bland and
friendly face upon the world, and is
delighted to talk with the correspond
ents about fishing or hunting or any
manly sport.
The question naturally remains:
What was he doing before he began
talking about manly sports?
He Is a Human Dynamo.
One ansWer-and a true one--is that
MIR. Richey is doing things which, If he
talked about them, he would not be do
ing. Mr.. Richey has two outstanding
qualities. One is that he is dynamo.
The other is that he is a well.
Mr.. Hoover comes along and losses
things into the we'll. He can then go
away and forget them. He can forget
them twice. He can forget them be-
cause he knows that the dynamo will

because he knows that there is no buck

time For. while We have just made the
announcement, We have been working
at the idea for a very long time.
It was about the Summer of 1912 that
my secretary took me to call upon Miss
Van Luven Browne. to see her httle
school for crippled children.
Miss Browne was herself a cripple.
She could remember how she had lain
in bed two years in the Presbyterian
Hospital in Chicago, where. longing to
be able to read, she had asked that a
cord be strung across her bed, on which
books and magazines could be hung. As
nurses passed she would ask them to
turn the pages for her.
From that experience she gained a
