B—14 $%.09 HEALTH COST SEEN ANNUAL DEAL Committee Finds San Joaquin Co., Calif., Best Locality in Nation. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, December 15.—In the “ideal” American rural community medical care costs annually an average of $36.09. This community is San Joaquin; County, Calif. A survey of this county ‘was issued yesterday by the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care, the twelfth survey it has published during a study of nearly five years seeking facts to solve medical expense. San Joaquin County is perhaps the most “ideal” rural community available, said Dr. A. E. Winslow, professor of public health at Yale and vice chalr- man of the committee. Its five-year work nearly ended, the committee is! about to make its recommendations. “Grave doubts” that these recom- mendations will include legislative measures were voiced by Dr. Winslow ‘when the San Joaquin report was made public. Division of Expenses. ‘The residents of San Joaquin County divide their medical care expenses an- nually as follows: For physicians, 24 per cent; hospitals, 24; drug stores, 19; dentists, 16; nurses, 5; other practi- tioners, 5; public health, 3; optical firms, 3, and commercial laboratories, 1 per cent. One per cent of the entire popula- tion is engaged in providing medical care. The average cash income of nurses is $1,100 annually, including gl‘iduflte nurses “at a somewhat higher igure” and “practical” nurses at $700. Two pharmacists in one drug store filled more than 23 per cent of the 126,000 prescriptions compounded by 51 drug stores. Most of the 98 full- time pharmacists spend the greater part of their time selling candy, :jignrmes. cigars and other merchan- e. 148 Brands of Liver Pills. One drug store had 148 brands of liver pills, another 65 kinds of tooth paste. The number of ingredients of prescriptions is stated to be decreas- ing; proprietary remedies are used more frequently and the price of pre- scriptions nearly doubled between 1909 and 1929. Drug store medical bills were divided, as follows: “For patent medicines, 37 per cent; prescriptions, 21; home rem- edies, 20; rubber goods and other med- Jcal supplies, 22 per cent.” Twelve Chinese herb stores sold $80,000 worth of herbs annually. In- cluding these herbs, drugs and medical supplies cost $6.75 per capita. Dr. Winslow said the recommenda- tions will be made before the end of 1932. The committee, a voluntary na- tional organization of 50 members, to study the problem of “delivery of ade- quate scientific medical service to all the people, rich and poor, at a cost which can reasonably be met by them e their respective stations of life,” has hot decided yet on its conclusions. But Dr. Wilson said: “It seems that two measures are most likely to be helpful. One is the organization of medicine for adequate service within the profession to give each patient the benefit of scientific knowledge and ap- paratus, but also to have each patient in charge of one physician who will re- gard him as a human being. “The other is organization of the pub- lic for paying for these services, per- haps in some manner like payments of an annual amount.” TEACHER IS BANKRUPT Proprietor of School for Backward Children Fails. A voluntary petition in bankruptcy has been filed by Mrs. Beulah Shuil Barnes Anderson, proprietor of a school for backward and maladjusted children, 4719 Conduit road. She fixed her in- debtedness at "$32,742.60, assets, including real estate here and igl:z(:‘:;.u.(omiu, was estimated at $22,- She 1is represented by Attorneys George G. McLeish and James B. Hogan. Flyer Unhurt. ALEXANDRIAN, U. S. AVIATOR, LANDS IN CABBAGE FIELD. LIEUT. L. H. M. SANDERSON. PHILADELPHIA, December 15.—Two | Marine Corps fiyers escaped injury when they made a forced landing in a cab- bage fleld late Sunday on account of bad weather. ‘The plane was piloted by Lieut. Law- son H. M. Sanderson of Alexandria, Va., | well known for his flying exploits in | Nicaragua. Lieut. Clifford Pritchard was a passenger. They were en route to Washington from Floyd Bennett Field, New York. Rain and mist made visibility poor here all day Sunday and it was be- lieved the fiyers sought to land at Mustin Field, in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The plane nosed over after alighting on the rough field and was damaged badly. The two fyers notified navy yard officials and then went to the home of friends here to spend the night. YOUTH’S LIFE SAVED Tourniquet Applied by Other Stu- dents at Western High School. A tourniquet applied by fellow stu- | dents probably saved the life of Maurice Baer, 15-year-old Western High School | student, when his arms went through a glass door of the boys’ locker room at | the Georgetown institution yesterday | afternoon. | The youth, who lives at 5628 Con- necticut avenue, bled profusely from severe cuts of both arms until the | tourniquet was affixed. An ambulance arrived a few moments later and re- moved the boy to Casualty Hospital for treatment. | 100 OVERCOATS FREE Saks Will Give Them to Needy Boys Christmas Morning.

MEXICO CITY, December 15—A sweeping investigation of all activitles leading up to the anniversary celebra- tion of the Virgin of Guadalupe day by hundreds of thousands of persons last week appeared likely today if sug- gestions made during bitter attacks on the church and government de- partments by members of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies are followed out. ‘The principal focal points of the verbal attack thus far have been the Catholic Church itself, the “reaction- ary” press, the National Rallways man- agement~and several governmental de- partments.
