______________. Health Insurance In Australia

Australia is embarking on an experiment i11 health insurance and old age pensions which will he watched with interest. by other Dominions. The lcgislzttiott provides that persons employed under a contract of service, if they are engaged i11 ntzttlttal work or if their rate of remunera- tion froitt their cmploytnettt does not exceed £3135 ($14110) per 11111111111, shall be insured, which in effect 1111x1115 that they atnl their employers have to pay ct-rtttin contributions-for a man 3/- (75c), for a wontan 2/- (50c), tlividctl equally in cnch case l1etvvcett the entployer and the citi- ploycd. In return for these contributions they get ntcdical treatment (a general practioner ser- vice, for the itisttretl person only) and sick pay, when incapacitated from work by sickness, with additional allovvnttce for dependent children un- der fifteen. 'l'hese are getterally called the benefits. I11 addition, the Ilill provides for the. payment of (ild-age pensions, tn men at 65 and to women at (10, 11nd pensions to the widows of insured men, for life unless they re-marry. Al- lowances for dependent children under t5 are paid also to persons in receipt of those pensions and children of iusttrctl persons, both of whose parents are tit-ad. will receive orphans’ pensions up to the age of 15 years.

If those benefits were provided by the pay- ment of premiums alone, this actuarial cost would. of course, increase rapidly with the age at which the insured person entered the scheme. The contributions. ltowt-ver, do not vary accord- ing to the age of the insured person; they are, lnr entrants of all ages, the rates that would be lctuarially appropriate to persons entering i11- lttrance at the age of 16. The contributions in themselves are, therefore, insufficient to pay for the benefits provided. and the difference 1s

Why do the crowds gather in the north transept? To see the fantastic 14th-century clock strike the hours. First oi all, high up in the trtiorlum, there is a sitting puppet which kicks its heels back against a gong. This sounds the quarters. Then the clock begins striking; and at. the first stroke. a most contical roundabout is set in motion above the dial -- four mounted kmgltts charging full-tilt. round a tower, with staves In their hands.

RECORD or 15 YEARS TREAT- MENT OF EPILEPSY WITH THE KETOGENIC DIET The treatment of epilepsy of a few years ago was simply l0 if)’ to prevent the patient trorn hurt- ing himself during an attack. the use of bromides to quiet him. and advising that large meals be not eaten at. the evening meal or bed- time. Thus although the cause of epilepsy ls still unknown, that food ls a factor tn causing epilep- tlc attacks bus been recognized. Finally. it was found that by cut.- tlng down on other foods and liq- uids and increasing fat foods. many eplleptlcs were kept. free from attacks. And many of those who were not kept free of attacks on this fat or ketogenlc diet were kept free by the use of one of the

barbital drugs.

Just how effective is this ketc- genie diet 1n preventing attacks of epilepsy?

Drs. H. F‘ Helrrtliolz and Mo Goldsteln, Mayo Clinic, used f0 fifteen steers 11922 to 19361 the ketozenlc diet and treated 501 children with epilepsy.

Of 409 with the usual or regular type of enllensyt 84 13f percent) were rendered free for at least one year, 43 (l6 percent) were definitely improved, while the treatment failed tn 140 rmttents. and no cooperation or help from the patients was obtained ln 142.

Of the 84 rendered free from the attacks 73 are now eating a normal diet. bttt ll are still on the ketogenic diet. E‘reed"m from attacks ranges from at least one year in all cases to five to ten years in 64 percent. and ten to fif- teen years In l8 percent.

0t‘ 92 patients with sympto- matic or nnrtlal epilepsy, l0 were rendered free of attacks for one to nine years.

What about epllepstic attacks returnlnz in those cttrod or helpgd by the kr-torrentc diet?

Investltzatlnns shows that only flvt- to ten percent ivho have been cured of true euilensy bv the llPPWenlt‘ diet will have r1 return of the attacks within seven vnars after the last attack.

In these days of mechanization people are prepared to believe almost any miracle. But marine engineers, to whom I have put the problem, are slightly incredulous about the invention reported from, Austria. This is said to be a. sub- stltute for the existing marine propeller in the form of a. spiral cylinder. It is the design of two Attstrinns working in collabora- tion and it is claimed that it: would enable any vessel to travel at a. far greater speed under the same power as now. To take a concrete example, ft ls said that. thus equip- ped, the Queen Mary could develop nearly 100 miles an hour, which would be 80 or 90 knots. If this were the case, the Atlantic record would immediately be reduced to less than a day and a half. it is said that the Nazi authorities In Germany are alertly inquiring Into the invention, the naval as well as commercial advantages of which are obvious. But experts In Ixxtdon point to the existing trouble in big liners with vibration. To travel 100 m.p.h. a ship would need to be reconstructed entirely. Also there is some technical snag about sea. momentum and water pressure. Still, you never can tell. —Ott.awa Journal.

Mlnks are famed for their ravenous appetites, their expen-

The mother mlnkr, terror-stricken by the drumming racket dashed wildly about the cages, seized their 270 mink kittens, gobbled them up. -—Ttme.
