MACHINES COLLIDE AT ROAD CROSSING . HAGERSTOWN. Ind., Aug. . 12. Thursday evening as Jerome Day was driving his roadster, Mr. Pierce of ; Millville suddenly drove upon him in i a large machine, striking the front wheel of the roadster from the side. ' The accident occurred at the crossroads Bouth of Millville on the New Castle pike. It happened Just at dusk. Corn fields obstructed the view and there was also a tnan'wlth a team of mules and one horse at the roadside , nearby. No one was seriously injured, but Ed Moore, who was riding with Mr. Day was thrown from the mai chine. The front wheel of the road1 fter was broken, the rim torn off and the inner tube bursted.

The bacillus finds ' its way into little particles of dust and when these are taken into the lungs of , another person they may give rise to i the same disease. Or they may be tak- ; en into the mouth with food or drink or by the use of towels, tooth' brushes or eating utensils. Methods of Attack Tuberculosis usually affects the lungs and this is its most fatal form, but it may affect other organs of the body. The child who drinks milk from dairies Infected with tuberculosis may puffer from it for years, or perhaps a , lifetime, in the intestines or it may Affect the bones of the spinal cord 1 rr the brain. Dr. Fletcher once told me that a considerable number of patients at the Indiana Insane Hospital were afflicted with it. Of course it is not everybody exposed to tubercu- , losla who will contract the disease. If the system is not in condition to re- : oeive and spread the germ he will go free and very often even when the disease Is there it lies dormant and only develops after some other trouble, the "bad cold" for Instance or pneumonia has prepared the system to spread the fatal infection. It Is believed that many persons contract tuberculosis in early childhood and that It does not appear until later In life. Sometimes It never becomes so active as to be recognized and yet It may be in the system nil the time. How to Check DiseaseWe know that tuberculosis is a preventable disease. If you could destroy fivery tuberculosis germ that would be the end of the disease. If you can des- j iroy most oc mem you ran sitauy ir . duce the mortality. The way to do this Is by quarantine. If a man has diphtheria or smallpox he is quarantined; cither in his own house or in some hospital provided for the purpose. The difficulty in this case of tuberculosis is that the quarantine has to last too long. You can riot quarantine a man effectively in his own house for months and years, leaving his wife and children exposed to the discaso and yet preventing them : from intercourse with the outside world. Tho only safe way then is to provide a tuberculosis hospital or sanatorium where he can remain for a considerable period without the danger of infecting those around him. This s particularly necessary In the last stages of the disease. If he remains at home he will probably infect two or three other members of his family and they will spread the disease further still, whereas if he goes to a hospital the chances are that within a few months or a year he will be cured and can then return to his family, or if he die, he will spread the disease no further. Need of Hospitals Tuberculosis hospitals therefore have been established in many places both abroad and in the United States. In Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York. Michigan We have a state hospital In Indiana at Rockville but the quota of Wayne county Is only three patients nnd the places are al ways full. County hospitals are being established everywhere. There has been one Just erected at Indianapolis and Wayne county ought not to be behind in this great work. For tuberculosis, unless it be too far advanced, is a curable disease and It is not necessary to go to the mountains or dry plains of the West. Open air and proper treatment at home will generally do almost as well. The results of the care given in the hospitals are shown in the gradual diminuation of tuberculosis in the sections where they are established. For instance, in Connecticut, there are four state hospitals. The first of thcse began in 1911 and the report of 1915 shows that in the different counties. Hartford, New Haven, New London, Fairfield. Wlndom, Litchfield. Middlesex. Tolland, the average death rate for the last thirty-five years was 1314, and last year it was only 8S5. a diminution of more than one third. Tho Value of a Person I Now I want to take up the subject

' run -

on a purely financial basis. Sixty persons die in Wayne county every year. If we could Bave one-third of these how much would the county gain? It is hard to estimate the average financial value of a human life, but after th9 child has been born, nourished, educated and is arriving at young manhood, his life has a distinct financial value to the community depending upon his earning power. Clearly a man who earns Just enough to feed, lodge and clothe himself has no monetary value to anyone else because he is just self-supporting, no more, but as soon as he begins to earn a surplus above his personal requirements he has a marginal value and this surplus earning power is the correct basis for the financial valuation of a life. -In getting at this value a rough and ready rule given by insurance companies is, (see Field Notes, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., Han. 1910, page 5) 6uch an amount of insurance as will, at 6 interest re place three-fifths of the income of the. insured. The theory being that the Individual personally absorbs two-fifths of his income leaving three-fifths for his family. Thus it would require $12,000 at 5 to replace three-fifths of an income at $1,000. But this is too much because the income is not perpetual since the man must die. We must therefore find the annuity value for such a sum as put at interest at 5 will give the same income ($1,000) during the years he will probably live as calculated by the annuity tables. The present value of an income of three-fifths of $1,000 payable annually during the lifetime of a husband and father aged 35, is $8,682. If the age be less than 33 the value of the life is greater, if it be more the value of the life is less. , Other Expense Items These life values of course only apply to the bread winners. The earning power of women is less than that of men hut if we take the value of the average life at even half this figure we have $4,341. Then in considering the loss by tuberculosis we must add the care of the sick man for perhaps two years of his illness when he is earning nothing and where others are occupied in nursing him although the living expenses go on as before. Then there is the doctor's bill and the medicines and the funeral at the end. Mr. Strawson, State secretary of the Anti-tuberculosis Society of Indianapolis estimates that the average' loss in each case of tuberculosis, followed' by death is $8,000. Now suppose we could reduce our death rate one-third as they did in Connecticut, we should have twenty deaths less every year. There is $160,000 saved each year. If Mr. Strawson's figures be considered too high surely $100,000 is a conservative estimate. Many Dollars Saved Besides the saving in deaths there would be a saving in the cases which are ultimately cured and in those who do not contract the disease at all owing to the quarantine and the better conditions which the hospital would inaugurate. It is of course idle to give precise figures but is it not certain that the loss of every life destroyed by tuberculosis involves a money loss to the community running up into the thousands of dollars and is not the saving of these lives good economy? ' Cost of Hospital How much will the saving of these lives cost? In the first place a hos pital must be built. Let us begin modestly and let the work grow. A hos pital for twenty patients will cost somewhere between $25,000 and $40, 000. That is the first outlay, to build and equip such an institution. Indeed we could begin on even less, adding new buildings as the need arises. Dr. Smith, Dr. Ross and others can give you the cost of equipment and maintenance. . Indeed we have ample experience from other hospitals to. show what the cost will be. In a pamphlet on County hospitals stating the cost of building and of maintenance in different parts of the country it appears that the latter is about $1.33 a day for each patient or something less than $500 a year. The report of the Connecticut .Tuberculosis Commission declares that the state is now conducting four hos pitals of 600 beds at a maintenances cost of a quarter million dollars, that,! is about $400 a year for each bed. At j East Haven the cost for the excellent ! treatment of the- insane including clothing is only about $200 a year for each patient. But let us fix our cost here at a higher figure because the hospital is a small one. Let us say $400 to $500 for each patient. That would be at most $10,000 a year. But a part of these patients would be able to pay for their own maintenance and ought to be required to do so where they can. If half or even a quarter of the expense could be thus provided for $t,500 a year should pay the bill. $7,500 a year for the saving of lives whose mere monetary value is more than $100,000! Can any more economical investment of the County's money be made? Proposed Site For the first year the $25,000 needed" would have to go exclusively to building the hospital. In addition to this the Commissioners should allow the use of a portion of the County farm for this building. The site on the hill about a quarter of a mile west of the Infirmary was .declared by Dr.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

Perry, the government expert, as admirably adapted for the purpose. This land could be applied to this purpose without sensational loss to the county as it is now used only for pasture. It Is on a trolley line, easily accessible and near the center of the county. Next year an appropriation of $17,500 for bflildings and equipment and $7,500 for maintenance ought to start the hospital upon a sound basis. But this is no mere matter of Investment. It involves the saving of human lives. There can be no higher or more legitimate object for the appropriation of money, Othjer demands are made upon the Commissioners for instance, for roads and bridges, valuable things but not half so valuable as life, and health; and hereafter when the record of these commissioners comes to be examined what would be said of their acts If it appeared that with full knowledge of the devastation caused by this dreadful .disease a recommendation for $180,000 for a Main street bridge and $180,000 more for a bridge a mile or so farther south across the Whitewater river made and they declined to appropriate $25,000 to save the lives of our citizens? It will not do to say "Let this matter go for another year.' That was what was said a year ago. That will be said next year and next. In the meantime men, women and children are dying with this disease. The Destroyer does not wait upon your convenience as to the best time for appropriating this money and if you fail to do what ought to be done today, the death of those who shall perish by reason of this delay must inevitably be laid at your doors.
