NEW YORK U.N.S0.-As his
contribution to charity, the
average American doctor works
one day out of every four for
nothing, according to a recent
nationwide survey.
Furthermore, under present
economic conditions, he is un-
able to collect for another quar-
ter Of his working hours. Thus
half the physicians time is de-
voted to free work, the grand
total reaching a figure Of more
than $1,0o0,OO0 a day.
Careful tabulation Of figures
revealed that the average doc
tor works so weeks a year, 81

little over Is hours per week, or
24.58 per cent of his total work
ing hours, to medical services
