ANNUAL MEDICINE
BILL S715,o)O,ODO
$3.50, 900, 900 of Annual To-
tai in U. S. Spent for Pat
ent Remedies.

Approxinately 100000, or about
20 per cent of the Nations Dill LOT SICK
ness, is spent annually for medicines
and drugs. according to report issued
bv Secretary of Interior Wilbur, VINO Is
also chairman of the Government Com
mittee on Costs of Medical Care.
The report comprises q tnree-year
study and is entitled the COSTS OF
Medicine" Authentic figures on the
drug industry in this country are given
through the efforts Of DR.. r. P. F1schelis,
vice president Of the American Pharma-
ceutical Association, and Dr.. G. Rufus
Rorem, formerly a staff member OF the
Cost Committee.
Final Report in November.
Included In the nearly three-quarters
of a billion dollars spent Tor medicine,
about 100000 Is spent Tor medl-
cine prescribed by physicians, $685.
900 600 for non-secret home remedies
and $3.50, 100000 for patent medicines
of secret composition.
he committee will issue its final re-
port in November, based on its ex-
haustive flve-year study into the prob
lem of "the delivery of adequate, scien-
tific medical service to all the people
rich and poor, at a cost which can be
reasonably met by them in their re-
spective stations in life"
Cost Is $3.50 Per Person.
It was discovered that the annual
expenditure for medicine Is approxi-'
mately S22 per family of four persons,
or $3.50 per person. Actual expendi-
lures per capita vary widely, the re-
port revealed, and tend to be highest in
cities.
The investigation showed that pa
tents attempting to diagnose their own
ailments by comparing their symptoms
with those described in patent medicine
may frequently forego
proper medical attention until 1t Is too
late to effect a cure.
According to the report the unem-
ployment situation would become ma
terially worse If the store operators ap-
piled more efficient methods, as 1t is
estimated 10000 pharmacists could fill
the 165,000,000 prescriptions now an
nually filled by $4,000 registered phar-
macists In 10000 drug stores.

SAYSCONSUMPT|ON
INCREASED IN 1881
Chicago Economist Answers
Prevalent Explanation
of Depression.
By the Associated Press.
~YrY0A10 ARo~N

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. March 19-Undercon-
sumption has been overemphasized in
the recent economic picture. Franklyn
Hobbs, Chicago bank economist, said
today.
In 1881, for instance, Hobbs holds,
there was not only no underconsump-
ton of the articles of everyday indi-
Vdual use, but actual increases In guam
titles Of many materials by mills, facto-
ries and the public. .
Far from bowling to the current OF
expansion or the back wash OF depres-
sion in the economic history OF the
country, consumption has not varied,
population considered, more than 8 per
cent in any year of the last century,
Hobbs said his studies indicated.
More Gasoline Used.
"In spite of the difficulties with which
the petroleum industry struggled in
1881, for example," Hobbs said, CON
sumption Of gasoline actually increased
per cent over 1880, which in turn was
higher than the boom year, 1929. I
believe we can safely assume that If
gasoline consumption gained, with the
improved motors and improved fuel we
had during the year, there also was a
gain in the amount Of mileage driven
and the quantity of tires worn out.
eff there were more tires consumed
last year-and not replaced-it is very
likely that 1892 will find more tires
purchased. and this condition is true
not only of other industries whose prod
ucts are used in connection with motor
ing, but in other lines as well.
1T can be stated as automatic that
If consumption of any basic human
need is lower one year, the following
year viii bring an ofsetting increase"
More Products Bought.
In addition to gasoline, Hobbs said,
mills Of the United States used in 1891
more cotton. wool, rayon and silk than
in the previous year and the people Of
this country purchased more products
Of these mills.
1.-THE Department of Agriculture fig
ures," he said, revealed also that
America produced and ate more meat
in 1881 than in 1890. The per capita
was 1882 pounds, or about half q
pound more than for 1880.
Failure to make adjustment for re-
duced prices is responsible for the cur
rent faIlacy that consumption has de-
creased" Hobbs said. THE purchases
Of goods at retail during 1880 and 1881
were larger than the average since 1920
in tonnage, or other quantity units."
Dollar sales under reduced prices re-
vealed declines, Hobbs said, but he add
ed that for several million Americans
1881 was a most prosperous year.
Many of the 100000 who were en-
ployed full time last year did not par
ticipate in salary or wage reductions,
which averaged IA per cent for all
American workers. This group, conse-
quently. had a greatly enhanced buying
power for the year, he asserted.

Knotty Problems
Awaiting Session
OF Bandmasters
World Standard of In.
strumentation Among
Subjects Up Here.

The American Bandmasters' Associ-
alton, meeting at the Willard Hotel
in April, will seek harmony on several
knotty themes:
Will the cornet reploce the trumpet?
Why the piccolo?
Has the new F saxophone panned
out?
How Is tonal balance best maintained?
What can be done about world
standard of Instrumentation?
Almost all of these scores, like the
cornet-trumpet motif, have evoked lively
vocal tunes.
Most bands, for Is years past, have
excluded comets in favor OF trumpets,
This despite the opposition Of the late
John Philip Sousa and Edwin Frankie
Goldman Of New York, supporters OF
the cornet.
How many oboes. how many bas-
ICONS, how many flutes, violins, drums,
constitute the ideal orchestra?
At any rate, there will be advocates
FOR almost every instrument that Is
scraped, thumped, blown or beaten,
and harmony Will be the keynote Of the
bandmasters convention.
Buildings In England are constructed
to last too long. according to an expert,
who recently stated that the economic
life Of a building is 80 years.

LLOYD GEORGE HITS
j. S. ON WAR DEBTS
Shabby Treatment Given
Britain in Settlements,
New Book Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 1e-David Lloyd
George declares in a book to be pub
lished Monday that payment of war
debts and reparations cannot be re-
srmed on pre-moratorium scale
within any practicable time"
In the bristling book THE Truth
About Preparations and War Debts Z"
England's wartime premier by and
large considers that Great Britain has
been generous, but that France and the
United States have not played the game
with war debts and PREPARATIONS.
Lloyd George, who only this week re-
turned to active politics after q long
illness, reviews the whole story Of in
ternational debts in brief staccato
volume which sets out fact and opinion
with machine-gun speed.
Even the entire abolition Of debts, he
says, is now unlikely by itself to restore
q full reversal Of the present tide Of
ing away from the policy of economic
nationalism which the existence Of
these international payments has fos-
tered, and general lowering of tariff
barriers and resumption Of full and
vigorous international commerce"
Whole Machinery at Stake.
The Welshman argued that 1t is
vital for nations to arrive at an imme-
date agreement.
playing for time Is not playing for
safety" he says, but Is fooling with
the accelerator while the car is rush.
ing down the hill.
1.-THE whole machinery OF the exist
ing economic order Is at stake. II 1t
crashes it will not be worth picking up
for scrap iron. It Is no time for nerve
less vagueness and diplomatic hest
fancy.
II cannot help saying" he goes on
elsewhere, that I think In this mat
ter of debt settlements Great Britain
has had very shabby treatment.
Had Britain been the creditor and
the United States, France and Italy
the debtors should be little ashamed
as Britisher If we had treated In this
fashion country so closely linked
with ours In language, history and
race.
AACA1UIA ~ As8~AASo1s
Perhaps It Is unjust to attribute
the character Of the settlement to
harshness Of the American treasury.
It would be fairer to ascribe 1t to the
softness of those who represented our
exchequer."
Lloyd George blames Stanley Baldwin
for high British debt funding, and de-
clares the funding hindrance 70 the
solution Of the whole question.
Andrew Mellon, then Secretary OF the
United States Treasury, he describes as
keen. experienced, hard, and ruthless"
Baldwin he describes as casual, soft,
easy-going, and at that time raw
"Mr. Baldwin admits that since then
he has learned great deal. At that
time he merited his constant boast that
he was only a simple country man.
THE business transaction of that
date (the British debt funding agree
ment) between Mr. Mellon and Mr..
Baldwin was in the nature of a. negotia-
ton between weasel and its quarry"
Elsewhere in the book Lloyd George
says that If America, in discussing debts,
, would put on the screws, forcing Euro
pean disarmament to the point Of harm
lessness, 1t would be a service to hu-
mainly.
