STATE MORTALITY

385,000 Employes Con

ance Body Finds
INDUSTRY IS BLAMED
Poor Draft Showing Cited in
First Report of Com
mission
Striking acts are revealed In the first
report of tho rcnnsyhanla Health In
auranco Commission, now In the hands
of the printer.
In its brief existence it has found
that 385,000 employes In this state are
constantly 111, 11 0,000 of them likely to
be confined for a lona- time and the
315,000 others sufferlns temporary 111
nesses.
In the draft 16,6 per cent of the men
between twenty-one and thirty-one years
of age were rejected, while the aernge
percentage lor mo couiurj- w umj
29.11. '
Death rates are higher here In Penn
nylvanla. than the average for the whole
country.
Industrial accidents are responsible
'e- the loss of 3.025,871 day, while the
total number of days lost through Illness
Is 16,800,000.
Objects of Commlnlon
The commission was appointed July
15, 1917, to Investigate (1) sickness and
accidents to employes and their families
not relieved by the wurKmen'a compensa
tion act of 1916; (2) the adequacy of
present methods of treatment and care
of sickness; (3) tho adequacy of present
methods of meeting losses through In
aurance and fraternal compensation; (1)
tho Influence of working conditions on
the health of employed persons, and (5)
the methods for preventing such sick-
Th nmmlsnlon has endeavored to
prove that suffering caused by Illness
of employes extends Itself to a general
loss to tile community, Boclally and eco
nomlcally. Because, so few employes
In tho stato are covered with sickness
Insurance, many of them return to work
before they are able, some continue work
throughout Illness, some receive lnade
quate treatment and all return to work
with the weight of Indebtedness,
Industry Is Itself largely to blame for
tho prevalence of illness, It Is asserted.
The report saysl "So other state has
ho wide a variety of those Industrial
processes which carry with them danger
to the workers, either because of
poison In the form of fumes, liquids or
dusts or because of mechanically Irri
tating dusts which Injure the throat and
lungs." , ,
In this connection tho commission has
. found that 79 per cent of deaths to
persons of working age during 1916
were from diseases whose connection
with Important Pennsylvania industries
has been established, and death rates
from degenerative diseases are steadily
Increasing.
Bhon Health Inauranc
Workmen aro fairly well covered with
life Insurance, but have shown a dis
position not to take health Insurance.
One reason for this may be because
many fraternal companies take only
those between the ages of sixteen and
fifty years, and only three of tho com-
panles examined by the commission ex
tended their benefits to, dependents of
the employe.
Because of the lack of compensation
the, state has been under a burden
which amounts to millions of dollars
annually. More than 86,000,000 Is spent
by Pennsylvania on hospitals and
81,000,000 on Institutions for defectives.
Not alone the state and employes lose
through the high rate of Illness and
death, tho report says, but also em
ployers, who lmo been tardy In recog
nising the need for health Insurance,
havo been losing large sums annually
through employes' absence, reduced ef
ficiency and the necessity for training
new workers.
KfBclency Is Itednctd
In the coal regions alone the loss of
:, 112,000 days In 1917 meant reduced
production of 1,500,000 tons of coal.
The commission does not regard Its
iork as more than started. In submit
ting the report It asks for the appoint
ment of another and larger commission
and an appropriation of 825,000 to con
tinue ths Investigation before a health

Lieutenant urownnack came over
here on special orders from the air serv
ice In Washington and thoso special or

troubles and will report to the capital
on his return, but It is probable that he
will collate his reports at his home In
Korrlstown.
Kxperlenee W Varied
Ills choice for this mission was the
result or rather an unusual coincidence.
It was natural, of course, that a man
with his aeronautic and gas-engine ex
perience should h&vo enlisted In the
service of Undo Sam, and this ho did
lour nays niter the stntes declared war
on Germany. He una assigned to actUe
amy at j;sington under Colonel uqod
year on May 30 and was later sent to
Cornell to teach machine gunnery, aero
dynamics, aerial warfaro and the theory
of flight to the CAdetfi.
After that he was sent to the experi
mental field at Hampton. Vs., when tho
iiaunn anu French machines were there,

tho Irlends' Reconstruction Unit. Th.
announcement came during the course of
. m.K Dy unaries v. Evans, who re
cently returned from abroad.
"Nearly 8000 persons nr sheltered In
houses erected by the Friends' Recon
struction Unit In France," said Mr.
Evans. "The houses are partly con
structed and then carried to their des
tination. Only six hours were required
to erect a house complete."
Mr. Eans showed many pictures
scenes of the German army marching on
Rhelms. the battlefields and a number
of Paris showing the effects of the "Big
Bertha." Some of the pictures were
official army photographs, but a number
were itvtx never before shown, having
been taken prhately In Paris. One of
the pictures showed where the head
quarters of tho French Ministry of War
had been destroyed by one of the big
shells.
Instance were gUen showing how the
Friends' Unit had worked In connection
with the army, the ned Cross and the
French government. Instead of the
workers being considered "slackers"
they often had to be restrained from
overanxlely to work.
Tho Immense, amount of reconstruc
tion work In Armenia, Serbia and Bel
slum was emphasized and plans for the
continuance of the work were discussed.

And So They Were Married

Covvright, 1)19, ty f'ubtfe Ledger Co.
START TO HilAl) THIS TODAY
COMIXO home after i: o'cloek that
night, cold and wondesjng whether
or not Scott was home, Ruth had plenty
of tlmo to analyse her feelings. Since
Isabel's outburst she hadn't had time
to wonder much about It until now, but
now It struck her as being all rather
cheap and melodramatic, Uio had that
reaction against eerythtng that is not
perfectly normal, and with It had ome
the feeling that she never wanted to
see Nick again.
Ituth had refused to take a taxi.
Somehow she did not want to be alone
with N'lcl! In such close quarters, and
they had been rather silent nftcr they
had left Isabel and Bill. Suddenly Nick
turned to Ruth questlonlngly.
I want ou to tell me what hap
pened tonight before we went out." His
tono was perfectly een.
"Beforo we went out? Why nothing,
nothing at all," Ruth hastened to re
turn, but her Aolce was not quite con
Unclng, "I know that something did happen.
I know Isabel Carter, and I know her
methods. I knew that you and she
had hud some kind of a scene, and I
want to know what It was about."
"I don't want to talk about It. Don't
jou see that I must forget It?"
"Will you answer me something truth
fully?" "Yes "
"Didn't It hae something to do with
me?"
Ruth was silent
"Didn't It?"
"Yes."
"What did Isabel tell you, Ruth?'
It was the first time he had called her
Ruth, although he had done so many
times to himself.
"Please let's not talk about It."
"I must know."
"I think you know what she told me."
"She told you that she and I had had
an affclr, didn't she?" -
"Something of the kind "
"What else?"
They were walking along through the
crisp cola nignt. ine streets wero uc
nerted. Ruth felt remote and Btrange
and not Ilka herself, and she felt hu
miliated and degraded at what Isabel
had suggested In her outburst of pas
sion. Nick's voice was no longer calm
and even and unemotional; It shook a
little, and Its deeper quality surprised
Ruth.
"I'll tell you," she burst out suddenly
"It was. horrible. She told me that 1
had taken you away from her. She Im
plied things. Oh. It made me ao
ashamed. I tried to convince her that
we were good friends, and she laughed.
She said that no one could be friends
with you. That you never bothered with
any one for friendship."
"Did you be'lce her?"
"Oh, 1 didn't know what to think She
cried, and It made matters worse, and
I wanted to ask you to go away and
leave me alone, but I couldn't because
of Isabel, and so I Just nad to go on
with things"
"You poor child."
There was a short silence, and they

upon Ruth's apartment house. It sud
denly looked 'so safe and comfortable,
like a big haven where sho could be
sure of safety and shelter and dear
familiar thlrgs.
"Would you like to bae me tell you
anything about It?' Nick went on.
"Oh, no, no 1 Piense don't "
"I won't then, only this; Isabel and
I knew each other cry well before
she married Bill. 1 didn't want to
marry and I thought sho knew It.
There was nier any game, and I never
pretended n'tythlng. Isabel knew all the
rules as well as I did and we had a

that about It."
They cime to the huu) and stepped
Into the lobby. Ruth turned and held
out her hand.
"Don't come up." she said
Nick took her cold little hand In his
and smiled down at her reassuringly.
"I am more sorry than I can say that
this should hae happened." he said
gravely. "Are we still friends?'
