 In every county in Great Brit ain there are insurance committees who desire to treat insured per. sons. The sick person has right to choose any doctor on this panel. The panel doctor gets from the insurance fund $2.25 a year for every insured person on his list.
 There is likewise C panel of drug stores where the insured per- sons get doctors prescriptions filled free. The druggists are also paid out of the insurance fund. After the fourth day of inca pacity due to. illness which keeps him at home, the worker is en- titled to sick benefits. These benefits are paid when the in- sured has made 104 weekly con- | tributions. The sums allowed are $3.75 weekly for men and $3 for women.

There is no penalty when pay- ments are not kept up if the in- sured person can show that he or she is genuinely out of work through no fault of his or hers. After a person attains the age of
 66, he no longer has to pay con- tributions, but is still insured.

city during recent years, the pneu- monia deathrate has averaged about 120 per 100000. In Madras, India, the pneumonia deaths range from 700 to $50 per 10000 each year. In Valparaiso, Chile, they av- craze about 5S0, and in Manila, P. l., around 500. There are many other foreign cities in which the pneumonia toll is from 300 to 500 per 100000 year after year.
 America can well be proud of its tuberculosis record. In less than 30 years we have reduced our tu- berculosis mortality to less than 60 per 100000 population. In Manila approximately more than ten times as many persons. suc- sumb each year to tuberculosis (60O per 100,000) as da so in this country. Other cities which annu- ally report tuberculosis deathrates so high as to be almost incredible are Guayaquil, Ecuador, 580; Val- paraisi, Chile, 505; Lisbon, Portu- gal, 547;. and Athens, Greece, 402.
 ''The deathrate form malaria in the entire United States is about 2 per 100000.

In Singapore and in Penang in straots settlements, and in Guaya- Quil, Ecuador, malaria deathrates exceeding 250 are common occur rance.
 "The wonderful improvement in public health in this country dur ing the present century must be attributed not so much to changes in natural conditions. nor to the development of greater resistance in the individual to disease. I am inclined to give most credit to the tireless and intelligent efforts of our public health service, although credit must also go to. the improved living standards which have fol- lowed the development of industry and business in the United States.

New York-The United States is a paradise of health compared with some of the South American and Asiatic countries, according to Dr Louis I. Dublin, third vice-president and statistician of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance company, who points to the victims carried off by influenza in one Brazilian city where the annual death-rate from tha tdisease almost equals the rate in New York city at the peak Of the epidemic of 1918.
 Cholera, plague, smallpox and leprosy are diseases of a bygone age so far as we are concerned in the United States" Dr Dublin asserts. "Yet in some of the British prov inces of India these diseases are today almost as prevalent and deadly as ever. In the single year 1929, British India recorded over 350,000 deats from cholera, 120.- 900 from plague, and 73,000 fatal cases of smallpox. There are still over one million lepers in China.
 Typhoid fever has been almost eliminated from most American cities. In New York and Chicago Inc pIcoSAS dAlAudA SyphoAV ASvSA mortality rarely exceeds one per 100, 1000. in ,Nagasaki, Japan. how ever, the typhoid death-ate reached 226 per 100000 inhabitants in 1881. Besides this extraordinady mortal ity, the very high rates of 103 for Taharan, 87 for Bangkok, and 63 for Calcutta, lost much of their significance.
 | Most of us still remember the consternation caused in our country by the terrible pandemic of 1918. In that year the death toll from influenza in the city of New York reached the calamitous figure of 229 per 100000. Picture then the situation in Fortaleza, Brazil, where approximately the same high rate of influenza mortality is experienced year after year. The average influenza deathrate in For taleza during the period 1929-1931 was 2I6 per 100000 with a peak of 260 in 1881.

This is the second of Q series of three articles on the progress made by Great Britain in social security of the type which is ex- pected to come up for action in Congress this winter, supported by President Roosevelt and his New Deal leaders, stressing un- employment and health insur. ance and old age pensions.
 By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 London, Oct 11--In the program of social legislation now being pre- tee on Social Security, health in- surahce has it's place.
 In modelling a proposal for the United States, the committee has doubtless studied the health insur- ance plans of Europe, which have been in effect for many years.
 Germany led the way in the $S0s, followed by Austria and Hun gary. Such insurance is now gen. eral in all progressive European countries. But because its living standards and customs are more like the American, Britain prob. ably furnishes 8 more apt pattern than any other country. Here is how. the British sickness insurance plan works:
 In considering his own scheme Lloyd George, then chancellor o, the Exchequer in the Liberal cab. inet, said he had two objects 1T mind: g.
 First-To give the insured per son the medical attention which he might need at any time.
 Second-To compensate him witf money for loss of wages while i'll
