Hospital Insurance

Soon after the World War, British hos pitsIs were hard hit by lack of funds Sick people were less able to pay for hospital care and the institutions had less money to care for free patients. A plan was worked out whereby people paid small regular fees and became hospital members. with the right to certain stated kinds and amounts of hos pital service. The arrangement provided stable and assured income for the hospitals The plan proved 90 sueeeeeful that it grew rapidly. There are now 6.000.000 msm- bers in London. Manchester and Liverpool
 There are many similar experiments in this country. They have been forced by the serious financial plight of the hospitals Public institutions. dependant upon tax support have had less money to go on and far more work to do. while private hos pitals, dependent on endowments and gifts have had to let beds and equipment lie un- used for lack of funds.
 In Boston. Brauleboro. Vt. Dallas, Texas, Essex County in New Jersey and other places. various forms of eo-opefation have been tried. Most of them are succeeding. They offer kind of voluntary health insurance. Payments of members vary from 85 cents a month to S6 or S8 a year. These small amounts. paid by enough different people. guarantee adequate income to the hospitals. For about the price of regular daily news- paper, many people are assured of necessary hospital care while the hospitals are enabled to avoid financial collapse and even to pay off standing obligations. The movement is likely to spread.

Medical Science
 The Long Rise Of

Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has been trying to in- crease its ability to fend of death and restore ailing bodies to health This effort began slowly, progreas- cd along an almost imperceptible rise for many centuries--and finally took q sharp turn upward. Medical science has made moro prograss in the last 130 years than in all of recorded history before the nine- teenth century.
 So says pr Morris Fishbein, the widely-read eidtor of the Journal of the American Medical associa- ton, in "Trontiers of Medicine" q readable little handbook in the new Century of Progress series.
 This book is simply an outline of medical history, an exposition of the development by mankind of the art of healing from the primi. tive hocuspocus of the medicine man to the scientific technique 0i the modern hospital.
 Medical history, says pr Fish, bein, really begins with Hippoc- rates, about 800 B. c. Some four centuries later 0alen became med- ical sciences dominating figure, re- maining such for 1,200 years. Then, as people began to emerge from the superstition and tradition of the middle ages, came the develop. ment of anatomy, of physiology, of more exact Knowledge about the body and its secrets. leading up to the great era which began in the nineteenth century and Is not yet ended.
 It makes very readable hook. this "outline." an excellent sum- mary of medicines history, It's ac- corfplishments and its possibilities Published by William and Wilkins. it sells for 31.

What was to be one of the high spots in the proposed tri-state park at the junction of the states of Connecticut. New York. and Massachusetts is slowly becoming just an- other spot according to recent article in the New York Sun. Years ago Bash Bish Falls were noted for their beauty and the wildness and grandeur Of the surrounding terrain. The falls are about the center of the tri-stste park that the three states are sup posed to be creating. Unfortunately this state has been rather backward in acquiring land up in the northwestern corner. It has a number of state forests and parks in this section of the state. but its share of the tr- state park is still said to be nil. In days gone by the road ran close to the falls. Now it is necessary to park your car and follow a rough trail to get to the falls. And the view isn't as good as it was. SO the old tim CTS claim. All of which is disappointing to the thousands who anticipated visit to the spot when the tri-state park was opened to the public. However. they can go up there now and see the mueh.h .heralded falls and then come home and tell about the falls right in our own state that are just as attrae- tive.

A Sea Tradition

A tanker catches fire off the Carolina coast, turns for few hours into sea-borne torch. and then plunges to the bottom. Other steamers stand by to rescue her crew, Life boats bob over the waves and take the men to safety. But the tankefs captain sticks to his post When the ship goes down, he goes down with her. Once more, graphically and unfofgettabiy. is the splendid old tradition of the sea upheld. And landsman who looks with admiration on this remnant of nobility in a somewhat ignoble world is very apt to wish that the captains of busi- mess organizations ashore could occasionally imbibe a little of the spirit that animates captains of ships at sea.
 Right now there are few sections of the United States in which inquiries are not being made into closed banks. And from many of these inquiries there emerges un- snistakably the conclusion that lot of big wig bankers worried lot more, in those trying days of last winter. about saving their own precious hides than they did about the fate of their depositors and stockholders. Over and over again, in city after city. we get reports of high bank officials who s'bailed out" at the last minute -- disposed of their stock. withdrew their own accounts. and otherwise made certain that whoever else went to the bottom they themselves would get nice seats in the lifeboats Some of them. in fact, seem to have got into the iifebosts before the other folk abroad even inspected that the ship had sprung leak.
 Nor is ali of this confined to bankers for bankers, after all. aren't any worse than < other people. Study the accounts of the collapse of industrial concerns. of the footing of going businesses through holding companies. of the various brands of chi eanery and self-seeking praetieed by men in positions of trust. and you get the same sort of picture. There have been splendid ex- captions. to be sure. Many business man. many banker. has sacrificed his own for tune and his own career in an effort to save his firm. But all too many have done just the reverse. The gallant tradition of the sea. by which a captain sticks to his post to the bitter end, could very profitably be copied on shore much more widely than has been the case in the recent past.

A World Breathing Space

An agreement signed at Rome the other day does much to compensate for the failure of the nations to agree at London. It repre- sented military rather than economic peace; but the two often amount to the same thing This is Mussolinfs four power peace treaty, the best international achievement of the Italian potentate. The fiery Hitler is eurbed for the present at least. through the di- plomaey of the only ruler he seems to respect France. the uneasy firebrand in the center of the works. is likewise eurbed.
 As an American editor expresses it. two dietaton and two demoeraees agfee not to fight This pact has more vitality now than the celebrated Kellogg -Briand and Nine Power treaties that Japan tore up. While Britain. France. Germany and Italy keep peace, Europe is not going to be embroiled by another war for balance of power. And if Europe can keep the peace. the world is not going to be embroied. We shall have a breathing spell to talk some more things over.

Are You An "F R B C.?

Tn the current issue of the American Mag azine, Postmaster General James A. Farley lays down a few rules for all candidates for appointiye offices that will be attributed as patronage to members of the democratic party. As the genial boss of the party points out considerable portion of the jobs avail able are under civil service rules which auto nsatieaily will eliminate tbree-fourths of the applicants. For every job that can be given there will probably be at least ten worthy men. Hence. it can be seen that the task of picking one from each group is no sineeure.
 But as to the hieroglyphies in the caption above. they simply represent For Roose- welt Before Chicago" After Postmaster Gen. efsl Farley and his aides in the states have wsded through the thousands of applies- ticns they will start classifying them.

The board says If these prices are not maintained and if the markets are further demoralizsd by persons selling less than 10 quarts of milk day. the board proposes to reduce the minimum heretofore set as license base from 10 quarts to cover every sale of one quart or more. as necessary .. ."

Land Of Sandwiches

The sandwich. as an obsevant reporter finds. is our national viand. though it didn't originate in this country nor in the Sandwich Islands. either. as you might sup pose. Anyone interested in origins may look it up. This present comment concerns the nature and scope of the thing itself.
 It is probably true. as the reporter says that there are more sandwiches sold in America today than any other form of food. And the prevalence of this dish - this dishless dish. as one might say - has in- creased greatly since the return of beer. The pretzel in this connection has been overesti- mated. The pretzel bond with beer is strong in the case of pre-war drinkers. and now consuming three -point-two want some. thing to eat with their beer. rather than even prohibition drinkers. but most patrons saline thirst t-provokefs, and their notion of something to eat is a sandwich.
 Sandwiches really had good start before beer came back. what with hot dogs and everything. But now we actually fin sandwich bars" taking the emphasis from the .drinkables. There are all kinds of sandwiches but fortunately upper stories are vanishing. Anything more than a one- layer sandwich isn't sandwich it's a degenerate cake. Beer seems to have had another wholesome effect on sandwiches. You don't find them so often with the crusts cut off. like the tea things that women call ssndiwehes
