This is the second of two articles by
DR.. Fishbein cautioning the public to
think twice before signing Up for hos
pital insurance.
TN many places hospital insur-
i ance schemes have seemed to
offer exceptional opportunities to
great numbers of people to pro-
tect themselves against hospital
bills.
However, even under the best
of circumstances there have been
abuses. There is the possibility
of disorganization of the medical
profession; the question of under
bidding for the service, with the
patient invariably the ultimate
sufferer.
Acceptable medical service can
be delivered only at certain costs.
Any attempt to bid for the service
under these costs is sure to result
i'll skimping of the service, which
the public can not understand,
because the public itself really
never has learned to evaluate
medical service satisfactorily.
The most important ingredient
in any type of medical care is the
personal attention Of q competent

THE FARM EMIGATION

During the last two years the agricultural popu-
ation Of the United States has increased by nearly
$4,000 men, according to reports drawn up by econ
omists at Chicago.
This is largely due to the movement of the I'M
employed from the city to the country otivated,
no doubt, by the fact that matter how bad the
depression may be the who grows his own
potatoes and raises his chickens at least is going
to escape starvation.
In some ways this is an encouraging development
But in the long run little will be gained if we
simply transfer poverty from the city to the country

The Lost Phone Call

T WONDER what the original
Il message might have been.
Surely no one called me up at any
such unearthly hour merely to
present an argument in favor of
predestination. Possibly it was
opportunity which knocked and
which l rebuffed.
Perhaps I was about to be told
to wear white gardenia for iden-
tificatiOn. Or it may have been
strictly business.
But for the cantankero BUSINESS

are pried apart to meet new

SCIENCE,
Chemists Optimistic
BY DAVID DIETz

A PPLIED chemistry will play
IA an important role in the next
upsWing of American industry.
So says DR.. George Oliver Curme
Jr., New York chemist, just
awarded the Chandler medal for
1888.
This medal is awarded annu-
ally to the chemist whose research
work has done the most to ad-
vance industry. DR.. Curme is best
known for his invention of the
process for the manufacture OF
synthetic ethyl alcohol.
He is vice-president and direc-
tor of research of the Carbide and
Chemicals Corporation, unit of
the Union Carbide and Carbon
Corporation.
DR.. Curme looks forward con-
f1dently to the nations recovery
from the present depression.
Back in the early 1920's," he
says, IAN industrial innovation in
the mass manufacture OF automo-
biles gave a powerful and lasting
uplift to manufacture.
To-day, applied chemistry is
giving impetus to not one but
scores of industries in the manu-
facture of a variety of products,
all of which contribute to the
needs and comfort of every class
of our people.
IT see no reason why this work
should not form a mighty force
for the expansion of manufacture
in this country"

resources for happiness never

conflicts and contradictions. and
until the schism is somehow
healed we can not be happy. At
present, no institution seems
stable, no way Of life satisfying.
no mind at peace, no body at
ease.
For what is happiness? One
notion is that it is inseparable
from material conditions; and an
other view holds that it is purely
a moral or mental state. A larger
view unites the essentials of both
these ideas, finding happiness in
a harmony of the outer and inner
life.
In brief, happiness is content

And is contentment possible with

quiet?
