 URGED TO GET
 S.S. NUMBERS
Applications Must Be Made at Once in. Order to
 Save Extra Work

Alaska workers now unemployed, including those who customarily engage in seasonal occupations, are urged by Hugh J. Wade, in charge iof the Alaska office of the Social Security Board, to apply for their Social Security account numbers without delay
 If application is made imnaed- lately, it was pointed out, proceed ure for both employers and em- ployees will be much simpler when those now unemployed for seasonal or other reasons go to work again
 Blanks must be filled out before account numbers can be assigned may be obtained from any post office in the Territory. When they have been filled out they should be returned to the post office This work is being done by the Post Office Department under contract from the Social Security Board.
 Account Numbers
 Account numbers must be se- cured by all workers who were not 65 years old on December 31 last except those falling in the follow ing applications:
 1. Agricultural labor.
 2. Domestic service in a private home.
 3. Casual labor not in the course Iof an employers trade or business 4, Service as officer or member of the crew of a vessel documented under the laws of the United States tor of any foreign country. 5. Service for the United States ior an instrumentality of the Unit led States.
 6. Service for a state or it's poli- tical subdivisions or an instrument tality of one or more states or po- litical subdivisions.
 '. Employment by nonprofit in- 5titutions organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable scientific, literary or educational purposes, or for prevention of cruel ty to children or animals.
 Latest advices received from Washington, D. C., by the Alaska Office are that only 1000 of an es- timated l8,000 Alaska workers who will be eligible for old-age benefits have to date applied for account numbers. The maritime strike which slowed delivery of blanks to Alaska post offices. is held princi- pally responsible for this relative ly slow registration but now the strike has ended every effort will be made to speed the job of assign ing Social Security account num- bers.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2. = Abra- ham Lincoln got all the breaks in his struggles with the Supreme Court, and he used them to score three complete victories.
 The groundwork for Lincoln's belligerence, ironically enough, was laid by the Supreme Court itself in the ill-starred Dred Scott decision four years before the Civil war.
 The ruling was written by the same Roger B. Fancy thac Jackson had elevated to the highest tribunal 20 years before Fancy was close to his 80th year and the possessor of sound mental and physical health when his decision was. written that left Dred Scott in servitude and, in effect, validated slavery north of "36-30' on the ground that tic Missouri compromise was uncon- stitutional.

YOUNG DRIVERS \
 LESS SRECKLECS'
Student Operators More Careful, Bus COmpany's
 Survey Reveals

Raleigh, \. O.. (UE-A motor Sus system, recognized by traris7 purtation men es the largest of its kind in the country and which operates against three obstacles, has found that student drivers boys and girls Of teen agesRr the safest drivers. J
 The system is the North CarOIina state operated school bus organizaL ton that transported 2,O20 900 children one time every day. naAk- ing . total Of 324. .1e0, 600 fares during 1g30. It transports all grade and high school students in North Cat0sii1a,
 Student drivers number approxi- mately seven to one ab compared to adult drivers. Records show the commission has 3,4OO student drivers and only 800 adults.
 Tested Over 20 Years
 The experience of the last 20 years Of transportation has shown that the student drivers, both boys and girls, have proved better drivers than the adults who have been enployedsy the annual report of the commission said.
 This recoranefldati to youth 1. was given in the face of three ad- missions. They were that the school commission btisses are ovef- crowded, that much of the equip ment is old and unsafe and that roads, due to an unprecedented winter, have been hazardous.
 Conditions in some counties this winter became so severe that transportation of students was stopped, either vountarily by school officials or upon the orders of county grand juries. .s
 Now the legislature in session has appropriated $600,000 for the purchase of new rolling stick. Another $6O0;000 will be set aside by the state next year for more new buses. It is hoped by the commission that hereafter rolling stock will be kept intact and mod ernized by suitable legislative grants.
 The history of the state school DuS cOmmBSlOn goes pdck tO ASl6 when five busses were put in opera ton. The number has been tn- creased to 4,058 busses and the average daily milage of each machine is 334a miles.
 A majority of the paid drivers are employed in mountainous re- gions of the state, carryoyer of the county systems which were turned over, to the state authority in 1883 when a statewide consol:- dated school system was provided.
 Commission members point with priie to 8 death toll of only 10 , students in the past four years. Six of these deaths were on trucks operated by student drivers, the four others being passengers on non-student operated machines.

The first of these is a letter from

of whom were members of the Con-

New York. 1t reads:

siasts from every land, and the
probable testing ground for mott r.
powered vehicles of the future, Is
located on the dry salt bottom of
ancient Lake Bonneville, 1875 miles
west of Salt Lake City. This great
level body of smooth, hard salt
formed by the drying of the ancient
lake is fifteen by thirty miles,
with an average depth of four feet.
The salt flats are as white and daz-
cling under the MONDAY sun as new
snow. The salt has the consistency
of ice and is almost as hard as
concrete. 1t crunches under tires

Privileges of Nazidom.

IT. HE German commoner may be
L shy on the food rations and have
some awkward moments unless he
conforms to the new Nazi religion.
But he enjoys complete freedom of
the press-or rather, complete free
dom from the press. And lately an
other precious privilege has been
accorded him.
He may fight duels. Heretofore,
this inestimable boon was exclusive
ly reserved for the highborn. But
now he may go forth and carve and
be carved until the field of honor
looks like somebody had been clean
ing fish.
This increase in his blessings
makes me recall tale that Charley
Russell, the cowboy artist, used to
tell:
''The boys were fixing to hang a
horse thief" Charley said. He only
weighed about ninety pounds, but
for his heft he was the champion
horse thief of Montana. The rope
was swung from the roof of barn.
Then they balanced a long board
out of the loft window, and the con-
demned was out at the far end of it,
ready for the drop, when a stranger
busted in.
Everybody thought he craved to
pray, but that unknown humanita-
rian had better notion than that.
In less'n a minute he came inching
out on that plank and there wasn't
dry eye in the crowd as he edged
up behind the poor trembling wretch
and slipped an anvil in the seat of
his pants"
