Health Insurance Splits Conference Health insurance, the big question for the conference of industrial sur geons to consider at the ninth an nual gathering yesterday, caused a decided difference of opinion among doctors and lawyers at the meeting to come to the surface and created much comment on Capitol Hill to day in view of the approaching ap pointment of a commission by the Governor to continue study of the subject and recommend to the next Legislature. Several speakers connected with insurance companies criticised the plan, one saying that it would "pauperize physicians," but Dr. John B. Andrews, of the American Association for Labor Legislation, said that it was important. Quoting the preliminary Pennsylvania report, he said it caused a loss of $40,000,- 000 in this State annually and called attention to occupational diseases. Dr. George E. Tucker, an insurance expert, said that the idea had con siderable political backing and Dr. Francis D. Patterson, director of the State division of industrial hygiene, (Commenting from the chair, said: "As near as I can account for the hysterial demand for compulsory health insurance, it comes from a small group of alleged uplifters who can best be described as long-haired men and short-haired women." John A. Lapp, of Chicago, did not agree with Dr. Patterson and said that it would guarantee a yearly income of aboi:; $5,000 to doctors. Dr. W. T. Bishop, of this city, did not agree that the plan would "pauperize doctors," and said he did not think it could be settled entirely from the viewpoint of tho doctors. "If health insurance is good for the public, it will be good for the doe tors," he remarked. The conference did not take any formal action, ' but the discussion caused a lot of talk.

Women were accused of not "playing fair" by trying to hold on to privileges granted because of weakness and dependence while at the same time asserting the doctrine of equality with men in an address delivered be fore the International Conference of Women Physicians by Dr. Clelia Mosher, of Leland Stanford Uni versity. Dr. Mosher declared the old idea that being a woman was a handicap must be given up. "The new freedom," said Dr. Mosher, "has entailed sometimes no new idea of a wider, more perfect tilling of woman's own great place in the world, but has led only to an imitation of the man; an attempt to make herself into what has been characterized as an 'amateur male.' "We must go back to the old Greek ideal of physical perfection. If we can put aside the old idea that being a woman is a handicap and bring up all girl children of to-day mentally and physically free, clothe them so that they may be hampered neither in time or work, there is no limitation on what we may expect from the coming generation." Dr. Mosher added that women must not make the mistake of losing sight of their primary function of motherhood. "No woman reaches her fullest development," she said, "who is not a wife and mother." Hearse Drivers Strike With Grave Diggers Sept. 23.—A strike of grave diggers in Dublin maintained for some weeks at Glasnevin cemeterv. has caused much inconvenience and some risk to the public health.
