N COMMUNTY CHEST New Accounting System Has Provision to Make D. C. Pay Full Hospital Cost. The new accounting system worked out for nine local hospitals by the Com- munity Chest, it was announced yes- terday, not only will harmonize their accounting methods with the uniform plans of other organizations affiliated ‘with the Chest, but also will make rad- ical cl in the methods of pay- ments to the hospitals. The system was worked out by the Chest Auditing Committee, consisting of James A. Councllor, chairman; Wil- liam Deviny, G. P. Graham, W. G. Buchanan, Wayne Kendrick, A. J. Clendenen, T. Delos Paxman and J. E. Gillis. plan was put into effect on July 1. D. C. Must Pay Full Costs. One factor in the new plan, it was pointed out, will be to force the Dis- trict government, as represented by the Board of Public Welfare, to pay full cost for patients sent to these hospi- tals or to send them to Gallinger, the municipal hospital, instead. ~Under present arrangements Chest hospitals charge $2 per day for patients sent them by the Board of Public Welfare. ‘whereas, according to the accountants, the actual cost per patient is about $4.32 per day, the difference being made up by Community Chest funds. As the budget for 1932 for the District, which will be acted upon by Congress this Winter, already is made_up, this provision will not apply to Board of Public Welfare patients until July 1, 1933, at the beginning of the District’s fiscal year. * Similar provisions are made for full cost payment by the governments of nearby Maryland and .Virginia, which at the present time are given the $2 rate on patiennts sent to Chest hos- gltfla. It 1s held that there is mno nown condition to prevent the public ‘welfare authorities of these two States from paying the full cost for patients sent here for hospitalization. provision is made effective after Janu- ary 1, 1932. ‘Would Raise Prices of Care. ‘The new plan also provides that the Chest shall not assume responsibility for services rendered at less than cost to members of the employed personnel or other groups directly or indirectly connected with the hospital. The cost of such services cannot logically be re- garded as a community responsibility, as is pointed out in the health and hos- pital survey recently completed by the American Public Health Association. On the other hand, the Chest offers no interference with profits received from the treatment of pay patients. the plan provides, may be used to buy buildings or equipment or to make up deficits in any other in- come-producing departments. The plan also suggests that hospitels revise their rates as published for wards and semi- private rooms and make them lgm'oxi- mately equal to the costs of such care, 50 that if the patient pays less than that rate because of his need, he may know that he is accepting a price con- cession and not think he is paying the full cost of his care when not doing so. The whole idea, it is explained, is to use the gifts of Washingtonians to pay for actual cases of need and not to carry the deficits of departments which should pay their way. Through this plan, it is said, the contributor may know that every dollar paid to a hospi- tal is used for actual needs of some per- son of that help. LANSBURGH'S 7th, 8th and E’ Sts.—NAtional 9800 This | after he Explains 100 Years as “Running in Family.” Hard- Work Is Only Sugges- tion She Has to Offer for' Long Life. There are no secrets to lnnfemy, in the opinion of Mrs. Diana Cole Hazel- mhn recently celebrated her 100th lay. Health rules are all right, she believes, but strict adherence to them will not necessarily enable one to live to be 100. Mrs. Hazelton's views are based not only on her own experience, but also on that of her husband, Asa Heselton, who died in 1906 at the age of 99. Although Mr, Hazelton, who was 24 years older than his wife, never smoked or drank, neixer he nor his wife accredited his longevity to is abstinence. Just Runs in Family, “It's just that long life runs in our family,” their daughter, Miss Lillie Hazelton, “My father’s grandfather, for instance, lived to be 94, while most of my mother’s ances-, tors attained ages well up in the 80s.” Miss Hazelton was speaking for her mother, who is deaf. She and her mother and another sister, Miss Anna Hazelton, live at 3137 Thirty-eighth street. Since Mrs. Hazelton celebrated her birthday last May 7 she has received so many visitors, it was sald, that she has not been feeling very well. Prior to her birthday, however, she always enjoyed rfect health, her daughters declared. All her life, they said, she worked hard, even making her own and her children’s clothes. Hard work, she believes, is about the nearest approach to a secret of longevity. Husband Agreed. And her husband, whom she knew when she was a child in & small town in New York, held similar views. Even retired from business—he operated one of the t:'h‘lut lbo'e -fi:;:l in Washington, an establishment patro- President Grant and other nized by notables of that perlod—he insisted on | doing as much work as he could around his home until shortly before his death. Mr. Hazelton's health still was per- fect when he died, his daughters said, ad : “He just went to sleep one night mo! an ache or a pain.” And Mrs. Hazelton also has been free from aches and pains, her daughters asserted. Until about 10 years ago, she was able to get around with as much ease as the average woman 20 ||} years younger. Her vision became impaired, how- ever, and she was forced to become less and less active as the years went || by. Now she does little but sit in her favorite rocking chair and watch time pass, and her daughters have to give her almost as much attention as if she were a_baby. She had only three children. Her son, Simeon C. Hazelton, was killed in an automobile accident in 1912, when he was 46. He, too, enjoyed perfect health, as do his sisters. Has No Rule of Diet. Mrs. Hazelton believes that living a century is largely a matter of coming frbm “good people,” plus good fortune. She thinks her lived just as long, even if he had tobacco and liquor in moderation. As for food—Mrs. Hazelton has al- and forgot to wake up the next ||| . 'We never knew him to have | | husband would have | | used | |i THE SUNDAY. STAR, -WASHINGTON, D. C, JULY 5, 193I—PART . ONE..
