WOOL MARKET.

Boston, Oct S-(UP)-The raw wool demand on the Boston mar ket remains very light, according to today's report by the U. s. agri- culture department.
 Some encouragement in the out look, however, has been stimulated by a recent pickup in demand for wool tops. A very moderate tn- crease, also, has been noted in the number of small sales of greasy combing domestic wools at prices that have been quoted for several weeks. Estimated receipts of dom- estic wool at Boston, reported to the Boston grain and flour ex- change during the week ending October 6, amounted to 299,400 pounds, compared with 11,396,600 pounds during the previous week.

HISTORY OF A.&P.
 TOLD BY VETERAN
Diamond Jubilee of Great Organization Recalls
 Events of Early Days

"The red wagon trail blazed by horse drawn wagons through the hub-deep mud of the highways of the last half of the 1S00's pi- oneered the way for the modern system of food distribution" de. clared J. T. Patten,. oldest living member of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co organization, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this month. Horses. though rarely given credit. played as important a part in the development of mod ern food distribution as they did sin settling the vest" MT Patten stated.
 ''In the 1S70's when I started in the grocery business" MT Patten continued, transportation wasn't as good as it snow. Many of our customers could not get to the stores for their supplies. But then as now. our company believes that large volume of business results in reduced prices. This. volume was obtained by mall, and by sending supplies to outlying customers in these little red, horse drawn wag- ons.
 "The routes of these wagons rad lated from the stores in the cities like the spokes in a wheel. Each wagon would start off loaded, de- livering the tea and coffee ordered a week before, taking the order for the week after from the house. wives along the route. These early A&P wagon routes, of course, had to struggle through knee-deep mud and snow, ford streams; fight their way through. But they were well come when they arrived, for they not only brought these groceries at low prices, which was an inno- vation in those days, but also news of the outside world and gossip of the neighborhood. They also brought gift for each customer, colored ehromo, a piece of china or bric-a -brac. Many of these pieces are still prized possessions of their owners.
 "The idea was quite successful. I remember that in 1896 when Uncle Sam esta ablished the rural free delivery, we used to say he was copying our system of rural food delivery for we had 1500 wagons at. that time.
 People began to ask these waS- ons to carry other foods. Soon the lists of foods that customers want ed were greater than any wagon could carry. even with the im- proved roads that were being built at the end of the first decade of this century.
 But by this time other means of transportation had developed. Cities had grown, and the wagon routes had built up trade to the point where it was possible to open little grocery stores in almost every town, in fact in almost every neigh borhood.
 But for a long time after that the horse drawn truck with it's beautiful Percheron beasts was more economical than the motor truck for city deliveries. long after the auto became practical vehi- cle for transportation.
 When the first funny-looking horseless carriages passed my store. l had no more idea than anybody else that would live to see ridiculous gasoline buggies make the world an entirely differ ent place to live in," MT Patten concluded. "ln way was sorry to see those hundreds of fine horses we used to have go. but suppose they would be uneconomical in the world now"

just and Unfair.

BROADER HOSPITAL
PLAN IS PROPOSED
Los Angeles Doctor Would
Expand Group-Treatment
Scheme Within D. c.

DR.. J. Rollin French of Los Angeles,
president Of the Western Hospital
Association, In Washington for the
national biennial nursing convention,
today lauded the District of Columbia
Medical Society for its support of q
plan for group disqualification, but
criticized the plan as being not broad
enough.
DR.. French, who is one of the pio-
neers in group disqualification, de-
clared the District plan should en-
brace nursing care as well as hospital
ization and should be made manda-
tory upon all wage earners in indus
try rather than being operated merely
for those individuals who are willing
voluntarily to, pay for the service.
The plan here Is too limited" DR..
French declared. 1T should be oper-
ated in q manner similar to the
operation Of the workmen's compen-
sation act and include all employees
of industry; leaving out only the
very wealthy, who don't need group
will have to be taken care of anyway.
Would Pay Nurses.
Furthermore, the plan should in
clude all nursing fees as well as
medical and hospital fees. The nurse
Is absolutely necessary. The group
plan should be made to cover every
item of cost for the patient"
DR.. French pointed out that in
nj lof hnc-
pitalization, three primary points can
not be overlooked. They are Cd
there must be no private profits
earned; (2) State responsibility for
administration must be avoided, al
though State supervision and approval
Of the administrative agencies must
be required; and 90 the scheme must
avoid the payment of cash benefits
with service benefits. Cash benefits,
he said, similar to health or accident
insurance, often will lead to slow re-
coveries and malignant cases for
treatment.
Would Include Industry.
Dr. French hopes eventually to have
industry itself participate in the cost.
for, he pointed out, there is a wear
and tear upon the workman over and
beyond that covered by the compensa-
ton laws of the various States.
Many State medical societies have
taken action similar to that of the
District and indorsed the group hos
pitalization idea. The American Hos
pital Association has also given its
support. but the American Medical
Association, he said, has opposed the
plan and has failed to offer any al
tentative.
DR.. French will appear this evening
before a joint session of the American
Nurses Association, the National
League of Nursing Education and the
National Organization for Public
Health Nursing at the Auditorium to
discuss Economic Planning for Hos
pitals."
