INSURANCE PLAN FOR FIGHTERS IS UP INCONGRESS . " Bills Introduced in House - and Senate Provide Liberal Indemnities

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Authority to make effective the government's program of insuring the armed forces of the nation was sought of congress today in bills introduced Jn both houses by Senator Simmons and Representative Alexander. The proposed legislation was framed to follow plans already announced in general outline and would provide insurance, at minimum cost for American soldiers, sailors and. marines, the insured men paying the premiums; family allowances to dependents of men in the naUon's military or naval service; indemnification for, disabilities and toe re-education and re-nabiU-tatlon. at government" expense of injured men. Mutt Help Dependents. A feature not previously announced, would make it compulsory for officers nnd men to allot a minimum of $15 a month out of their pay to dependent wives and children. The, maximum compulsory allotment is half pay. These allotments would .be supplemented by -family allowances, to be Trade by the government, of from $3 to $50 a month, according to the circumstances and number of dependents. To encourage thrift and "better to among the members of our own forces, Mid between them and the allies" authority la sought to permit the war and navy departments to compel men who do not allot one-half their pay. to deposit s6 much of their half pay as is r.ot allowed, with the government at four percent interest, compounded Feml-annually. . Liberal Indemnities Provided. Liberal indemnities for partial and total disability arc included in the program, varying from $49 to $"" per month minimum up to $200 a month for higher officers. Insurance would be written by the government on the lives of the men at a rate of approximately $8 per thousand in sums from $1,000 to $10,000. the premiums payable in installments. The cost to the government, as estimated by Secretary McAdoo, would approximate the following: Family allowances, first year, $141,000,000; second year, $190,000,000. Death indemnities, first year, $5,230.000; second year, $22,000,000. Compensation for total disability, first year, $5,250,000; second year, $35,000,000. . Compensation for partial disability, first year, $3,200,000; second year, $21,(00.000. . I Insurance against death and disability, first year, $23,000,000; i second year, $112,500,000. , t, ' Totals, first year,' $175,150,000; secend year $380,500,000.-' -' ' -' "i"4 The total for the two years is thus placed at $556,650,000, which Mr. McAdoo estimates at less than six percent of the cost to the country of conducting the war. Bill Was Approved. In its general features the bill was approved by the advisory committee of Insurance representatives, summoned by Secretary McAdoo, to Washington July 2. "They opposed, however." Mr. McAdoo advised the president in a letter made public with the introduction of bills "the grant of any government insurance over and above the compensa tion on the ground that the other pro visions wfere liberal enough and might be made more liberal in ways suggest ed by them. They favored, over and above compensation, the payment by the government of $1,000 in each case of death during sen-ice. or within five years after discharge of service in lieu of insurance." Police Dogs Track Violators of Food Laws In Germany BERLIN, (via London). Aug. 10. Germany's famous trained police dogs are now providing valuable sleuths in running down violators of the food laws. Near Berlin the doss located a man who had been pilfering from vegetable patches of truck gardeners, leading officials to the house where the stolen vegetables were hidden. In Munich, a constable attempted to seize a man caught with fifty pounds of meat from an illegal slaughter house. The man escaped, leaving the burden behind but was tracked to a hay-loft by police dogs. When the officer returned to the spot where the meat was left he found the meat gone. The police dogs were again summoned and located it in a nearby house where it had been hidden by a woman. When hailed to court the meat speculator pleaded he was without funds. The court was inclined to doubt the story and suspecting the meat smuggler had hidden his purse in Jthe hayloft again requisitioned the police dogs, which found the man's pocketbook well padded with currency hidden in the hay. The fishing Industry is also being subjected to investigation and Control tea result of wholesale smuggling and speculation. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

"Hosapps" Hospital Students; Are High-Brows of Naval Camp

GREAT LAKES, 111., Aug. 10. Greatest of all its kind in the world is the Great Lakes Naval Training Station hospital school. Here, 1,000 students are learning one of the most important duties, of modern warfare, that of caring for the sick and wounded. In war, before medical science took its place in the field as an important a part as any fighting unit, more deaths resulted from disease and infection of wounds than from the wounds themselves. Millions of lives were thus sacrificed. The "Hosapps" as the hospital apprentices are known here, are the "high brows" of the enlisted men at the station. On account of the Intensive training and study necessary for a man to learn the course which fits him for his work in the short training period,' only those with good basic educations are accepted for enrollment in the school , Many Are Physicians Probably half of the men are from colleges and universities and many are graduate physicians and register: ed pharmacists. The others are either. high school graduates or those who have finished the greater part of their academic - courses with high grades. Schooling of the men begins In the detention camp where all recruits arriving at the' station are held for three weeks apart from the main station, lest a new arrival develop a communicable disease. First aid and the rudiments of seamanship, which every enlisted man must know, are taught here. Once having passed through the detention period, study begins in earnest. In the three months preliminary training the Jackie learns how to compound simple prescriptions, to feed and nurse the sick and wounded, further steps in first aid, and chemistry. It is said that in the three months' course in chemistry, the jackle learns more of this science than the college student does in the whole of his freshman year. Not only is a full elementary course prescribed, but there is also analysis of foods for the detection of preservatives, administration of anaesthetics and the action of common drugs, in cluding 'treatment for poisons. Camp Sanitation Emphasized Emphasis is laid upon camp sanitation and personal hygiene. Botany, with special reference to common wild plants of medicinal value, is also studied. Preliminary training completed, the student hospitaler is graduated to the station hospital where he continues his studies, receiving in addition, actual work in caring for the patients, elementary surgery and other more exacting phases of the work. Less than a year ago the Great Lakes school had but fifty students. With the increased complement of the Navy to 150,000 men, the hospital corp3 was correspondingly increased, representing 3 per cent, of the total enlisted strength. More than 300 graduates are sent to sea for duty on the ships every month. School Is New Thing Hospital corps men have proven their worth and distinguished themselves on the field. During the Mexican expedition, they were -mentioned repeatedly in dispatches for bravery,

under fire and for their efficient service. Training received in the Navy schools is of especial advantage to men who Intend to become physicians.' The high school graduate who completes his term of enlistment finds himself, upon entering medical school with a solid foundation of knowledge of his work and training upon which many universities allow advanced credits. Many successful physicians owe their early training to the Navy schools and have acknowledged their debts to them. First Frost Is Due to Arriue Sept. 18 ECONOMY, Ind., Aug. 10.

BAKER UNABLE TO BE AT FORT INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10. -Although some changes in the program planned for the "commencement" at Fort Benjamin Harrison, for the members of the officers reserve corp training camp there were necessary today because Secretary of War Baker was unable to attend, and Major-General Barry, commanding the central department of the United States army also was unable to be present, the principal features were carried out.
