GOVERNOR URGES SICKNESS
PROTECTION WAR MEASURE
TRENTON, N. J.. Dec. 9.—(By
mail). Universal health insurance
for wage-earners as an immediate
war time necessity for strengthen
ing the vitality of this country's
population is favored in the un
animous report of the official legis
lative commission investigating so
cial insurance problems in New
Jersey, it was announced tonight
by Governor Walter E. Edge.
“The stress of industry in war is
making increasing demands upon
physical endurance”, states the re
port signed by Senator Everett Col
by of Newark, chairman, Dr. Au
gustine Elmendorf, John A. Adam
ton, and Joseph M. Ackerman. “In
r.u hour of necessity we have been
shocked by tUe high percentage of
draft rejections on account of phy
sical disability. As never before
wc need new to conserve, for pre
sent and future generations, the
health and physical vigor of our
people. Furthermore, it is the
duty of statesmanship to look
beyond our immediate pressing
noeds to the period of reconstruc
tion at the close of the war. We
cannot affera to disregard the pro
tective legislative inducements al
iea.dy offered to workmen by our
keenest commercial competitors in
Europe.”
Several stale organizations are
cii record for health insurance, in
cluding the State Federation of
Labor, the New Jersey Woman
Suffrage Association and the New
Jarsey Health officers’ Association.
The Commission is of the opinion
that health insurance gives great
promise both of relieving econom
ic distress duo to sickness and of
stimulating preventing action. "To
achieve these ends the report
says, "such a measure adapted to
New Jerseys woods, should be
based upon the foliowing funda
mental principles: Existing health
insurance agencies that r.i'» con
ducted on an adequate basis at ac
tual cost should, with mutual man
agement, be utilized in the further
developmer.t of a comprehensive
health insurarce system. In order
that the creator effectiveness arid
ec.-'nomy of a universal system
may bo ei’Jcyod be Jth insurance
should be male to cover all regu
larly employed wage earners. In
surance should provide medical
care and health instruction in order
that its work may be both curative
and preventive. To minimize the
financial distress attending sickness
the system should provide a cash
benefit during temporary inc-pacity
for work. It should also provide
maternity care to moot the special
needs of working mothers. The
system should be under supervision’
of a special bureau in the Depart
ment of Labor.

looking for some one with youth
and ‘pep’ to spend the money you
struggled for.”
This is the reflection of Mrs.
Ar.na B. Forsland of this city,
former wife of C. Foreland, presi
dent of tho Anti-Teedo Paint Co.
The remarkable story of her mar
ried life, which rivals the problem
plays of the movies, crept partially
out in the sensational divorce suit
heard in Judge Graham’s court.
Six months ago the matrimonial
tragedy of Mrs. Foreland reached
a climax when she came face to
face with the other woman. There
was a scene. The “other woman”
seized a revolver and wounded Mrs.
Forsland.
“We started out eight years ago,
Mrs. Foreland said.
“We were penniless. I had an
idea that a wife should be a hus
bond’s partner and that they
should struggle side by side. A
lot of women have had that idea.
But it doesn’t work out.
"We went down into Mexico. He
started a little newspaper there. It
didn’t pay. We came back to San

"We wore down and out, but I
never lost faith.
"Then he went into a paint fac
tory. It was a little hole-in-the
wall. The men who had been run
ning it were disgusted and only to
glad to get it off their hands.
"How I worked the next few
years! I wore overalls. I hated
them. The neighbors thought I
was crazy, but I didn't care. We
couldn’t afford a man. I rolled bar
rels, filled barrels, made paint.
"Every penny counted—and I
know time3 I didn’t even eat;
would generally cry myself to sleep
He used to 6ay: ‘Never mind, little
mother, we are going to make
good and then we shsl live.’
"I believed it all just like other
women have —other women will.
At the end of two years the place
belonged to us.
"Then the shadow crept in. He
met ‘her’. She was a stenographer
in a public office. I didn't know
than— about her. I didn’t know
until a year ago. I worked in
overalls, while he was courting
her. You see, I kept making the
paint up to the very last.
"My husband acquired some gov
ernment contracts.
"I thought wc had arrived at
our goal. I did not know that his
joy at success was for her. After a
while acquaintances told me. I did
not believe. For two years it went
on—and then I could not blind my
self any longer.
