Flag or SalDation Army
 Has Great Significance

scribed across the star, emphasizes again the fundamental doctrines of The Salvation Army.
 Not long after the presentation of the first flag, the uniform was introduced, and presently 1t was not unusual to see in the narrow unwholesome streets of the poorer sections of the great cities of Eng land, little bands of men and wo- men, dressed in navy blue, march, ing along with music of cornet and fiddle and sounding of drum, and at their head, bringing the radiance of another world into these unlovely surroundings, The Salvation Army flag.
 Today, its scope is no longer confined to a handful of cities and towns in Great Britain. In ninety countries and colonies the Yellow, Red and Blue flag waves its message of deliverance from sin. From London to Hongkong; from Burma to Cape Cod; from Iceland to Ceylon in a hundred and one out of the way corners of the world; among the rich as well as the port, the Army flag is flying and wherever 1t flies, there may be found comfort, relief, hope and more than all that, the mes- sage of the love of God in all its transforming power.

AIR LINE PILOTS
 ASK LEGISLATION
International Group Ap- peals to Senator Loner-
 gan on Safety Measures
(special To The Democrat)


 Washington, D. C., May 20-At the request of the International Air Line Pilots Association. Senator Lo- nergan (D), Conn, is giving con- sideration to legislation now pend- ing to promote the safety of Sched- uled Air Transportation.
 AS a result of active participa- ton in enactmentof laws to pro- mote safety on highways during the past few years, Senator Lonergan attracted the attention of the Air Line Pilots, who have appealed to him to broaden his safety program to include control measures for passenger airlines.
 As a member of the Senate In- terstate Commerce Committee, Sen- ator Lonergan now has under con- Sideration two measures, 5.l760 and 5.2, both of which have been fa- vorably reported by a sub-commit- tee and which will come before the full committee in the near future. These measures would create a Bureau of Air Transportation in the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion with broad general authority oyer licensing of operators, con- ducting Investigations, inspecting equipment, establishing minimum standards, maximum rules of serv- ice, designation of air routes, for mutation of air route practices and approval of air fields.
 Although the tremendous toll of lives in highway accidents is a major concern at this time", Sen- ator Lonergan said, "the increas- ing accidents and fatalities during the past year in air line transpor- tation makes 1t appropriate that drastic safety measures should be undertaken immediately. There is no question that air transportation has now become practicable and desirable, but every effort must be made to protect the lives of pas- sengerS and pilots." ~.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-20
(From "The War Cry")

The Christian Mission had just become The Salvation Army. Gradually military terms, titles and tactics were being adopted, so what was more natural than the creation of a flag, in which should be embodied the ideals and principles of The Salvation Army? In 1878, before the first uniform was introduced, the Army Mother, Catherine Booth, presented the first Salvation Army flag.
 It was not @ mere haphazard arrangement of color and design, this new standard which reared itself in slumdom. The founder had given much thought to its composition, and now, wherever 1t is seen, by Salvationists the world over, its message is as glow ing and as vibrant as its glorious colorS.
 The blue border stands for pur- ity of heart. The scarlet ground represents the sacrificial blood of our Saviour, atoning for all sin. The yellow star in the center typifies the Holy Spirit, whose cleansing fire both purifies, illun,- mates and gives grace to live an upright life in an everyday world. The motto, Blood and Fire" in-

Sirnplified Spelling
 System Inaugurated
Social Security Board Tries New Idea For FiIes-EIad
 36 Variations in Spelling Name 'Baer"

Beaire, Beir, Beirr, Bere, Beahr, Bealler, Behar, Beher, Beyar, Beyer.
 These variations in spelling show the advantage of maintaining the individual accounts on Q nu- merical basis for the periodic re- carding of wages. The separate al- phabetical file by names will per- init thefinding of the ledger account card for the individual who loses his number.
 "On June 30. every employer in commerce and industry will need an account number for each of his employees, in ordler to make a re- quired report to the treasury de- partment on wages paid since the beginning of 1897. In the event that an employe has failed to ob- tain a number, under treasury reg ulations his employer must file an application for an account number on behalf of that employe. To as- sure accuracy, therefore, we ask every eligible employe who has not yet applied for his social security account number to do 50 through the local post offices at once"

(BPeelok Q Tne DemocfSSD
 New Haven, May 20-Faced with s6 variations in spelling the name ',Baer," the social security board is using Q simplifled spelling system for filing the names of the 27 n1il- Lon employees covered by federal old-age benefits, Reginald D. Mollun, New Haven field represen- tative for the board announced to- day.
 eff the judges in an old fashioned spelling bee asked contestants to spell the 36 variations of the name Baer,' or the 29 variations of "Sny- der or the IA variations of Kelly wonder how many people could give the correct answers" MT. Mo hun asked his associates at the boards ofice at 1044 Chapel street in New Haven.
 "No one could blame student, " MT. Mohun said, If he were 'stumped' by the variations in the spelling of simple family names which daily confront the filing clerks in the social security board central records ofdce.
 while the board is using a nu- merical file for the social security accounts on which individual earn- ings are son to be posted, we also maintain 8 name file alphabetic- ally" MT. Mohun pointed out in his explanation which follows:
 "When we first begun to plan this file. we realized that we had to clear the hurdle of spelling variations. As soon as the millions of employees applications for account numbers began to arrive, we found we had not overestimated this situation.
 "The 'Baers,' 'Snyders' and 'Kel- Tvs are only Q few of the family names which present a spelling problem. The name Bailey is spelled in 22 ways. There are also 22 spellings for Burke We find 16 ways to spell 'Ahrends,' 18 ways for Lehman 12 for 'Bolan' and Il for 'Kean.'
 Despite the great variation in spellings the simple phonetic filing system adopted by the board has become 6 device for speeding up the location of a single account among the 27,000,0o0 names in the file. Thie system assemblies at one point in the boards huge master file all names which sound alike, tho,,Ola snelled differently
 ''This phonetic spelling method helps Us to trace the ledger account for an individual wage earner named Baer from among the fol- lowing 36 variations in the boards files: Baer, Baar, Baear, Baere, Baiar, Baier, Bair, Barre, Bayre, air1, Baehr, Baehre, Bahar, aehoar, ahor, Bayor, Bayer, Bayeur.
