Abstract
We all know what to expect when we read a paper by Mr. Dropkin. We expect to get some new ideas, some interesting information and a careful, precise and correct presentation which mixes both the practical and the theoretical. In his paper, Size of Loss Distributions in Workmen's Compensation Insurance, we are not disappointed. The interesting information this time comes in the form of a series of ten actual distributions of losses in Workmen's Compensation. One of the significant new ideas that we get from the paper is an introduction to the Kolmogorov test. The blending of the theoretical and practical is quite evident in Mr. Dropkin's summary at the end of the paper. Hence, any comment I make will be either, supplementary to what the author has said or will look into areas which are outside of the scope that the author set for himself in the original paper.
