SOCIAL SECURITY INFORMATION

Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Guy T. Helvering announced
to-day that employers subject to tax
under Title VIII of the Social Sec
urity Act will be required to hle
only one information return
for the period July 1 to December
81. 1887. This is the return on
Forms SS-2 and SS-2a on which the
employer reports to the collector OF
internal revenue the amount OF Wag-
es paid to each employee. These
returns are used both for verifying
the accuracy of the monthly FEEDER
al social security tax returns and as
basis for crediting wages to the
accounts of employees in the Fed
eral old-age benefits program.
This announcement is of interest
to the hundreds of thousands of en-
ployers who are required to file this
type of return. Instead of requiring a
return for the current quarter which
ends September 80 and another re-
turn for the quarter ending Deem
Der 81, the employers will make one
six-month return, which will be filed
with collectors on or before Janu-
airy 81, 1888.
Commissioner Helvering empha-
sized that the change in the filing
period for these information returns
will not alter the filing date for the
tax returns ON Form SSH which
must continue to be made by en-
ployers each month, and that delin-
quency penalties are being asserted
when employers fail to file the
monthly tax returns on time.
1t was also pointed out that in
formation return Form SS-S calls
for wage data only from the first
day of the quarter in which the en-
ployee dies or attains age IS, but
that in view of the authorization OF
the sixth month information return
period, every employer filing Form
$50 pertaining to such period should
include wages from July l, 1887,
so that complete data may be avail
able for the employees tax and wage
accounts. M. H. Magruder

SEE THE DOCTOR AND KEEP
WELL,

Two Thousand employees OF the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
and its affiliated agencies have enter
ed into a cooperative plan whereby
they will receive necessary medical
and surgical examinations to ward
OF illness. 1t will cost members of
the plan from $2.20 a month to
$3.50 q month.
The clinic stresses preventive
medicine. A physician of high stand
ing in the Government has been sell
ected as Administrator of the plan
and he says that results obtained in
similar clinics outside of Washington
show that illness among the mem
bers has decreased Sometimes" as
much as one-half.
Quite likely local physicians
throughout the country would well
come the acceptance of plan to
count a few hundred pulses and look
at tongues every month for a total
remuneration of several hundred
dollars. The old theory that ian
ounce Of prevention is worth pound
of cure" appears to be involved in
the above proposition.

MoBILIzING AGAINST ACCIDENTS

Ten thousand men and women will
mobilize for war on accidents at the
Twenty-sixth National Safety Con-
gress and Exposition which will be
held from October 18th to 18th
in Kansas City Missouri.
Accidents which killed 111,0OO
Americans and injured ten million
in 1936-will be given microscopic
study. Mere than 400 speakers
will discuss accident prevention in
the home, on the farm, on streets
and highways, in industry, in
schools, in the air and at sea. The
meeting will attract accident pre-
vention experts and students from
every corner of the United States
and number OF foreign countries.
The work that is done at this
Congress can be of immense potenti-
al value, If the public will cooper
ate But the best plan in the world
can do little if the attitude of pub
lie Incidence toward the hazards that
menace life and property continues.
The finest accident prevention pro-
gram ever devised is relatively use
less without enthusiastic public
cooperation and support. The most
complete surveys of the cause oi
accidents are valueless if no att eli
ton is paid to them. Fin
al public benefit will rest with the
public-John Jones life can't be
saved if John Jones is too lazy to
help.
Accident prevention is an individu-
al problem.

As obvious that whatever the human
capacity may be, whether that OF
father, son, merchant, client, master,
or servant, one is endeavoring to
practice ones highest conceivable
concept of spiritual service.
The history of many Bible charac-
tiers provides interesting illustrations
OF the inseparability of the spiritual
qualities of service and dominion. VI

above all the men which were upon
the face of the earth" Yet who was
more active or more useful In true
service? And who, In the Old Tesla
nient. made better demonstration
in leading, clothing, and feeding
Gods people than he? Moses served
and proved his dominion, because he
discerned that true power lies in the
reflection of spiritual qualities, in
Guiding humility, which perceives
activity to be In divine Principle

self ask men to learn of him because
he was meek and lowly? And did he
rot specifically promise that service,
as he served, would bring rest and
dominion? Because he knew no self

consisted of the continual reflection

Eddy writes, Prayer, watching. and

her was the revelation of the allness
OF Spirit, and of man as Gods spir-
itual expression, that she was led to
use the term "self-immolation" to
indicate the path which leads through
service to dominion.
Our goal is to fulfill the command
of the Way-shower in preaching the

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. RE-
SPONSIBILITY

Editors in most OF the 1nduStflal
centers throughout the country are
deyoting considerable comment to
what may be termed the aftermath
of last winters sit-down strikes.
The promise of Homer Martin,
president of the United Automobile
Unions to discipline members VINO
participate in unauthorized strikes,
and his endorsement of the right
of the employer to dismiss and re-
fuse to hire men of that type ap-
pears to strike an enthusiastic chorus
of approval in the newspaper com
ment-especially in the manufactur-
ing and trade centers.
When. temporary settlement of
the General Motors sit-down strikes
was reached last March it definitely
stipulated that there would be no
more troubles from strikes. But the
circumstances were so holly different.
The time recently arrived for revi-
sion of the March agreement Presl-
dent Knudsen of General Motors
said that inasmuch as there had been
more than 200 unauthorized" sit
down strikes and walkouts in the
plants since the March truce that
it was very evident that contract
with the Lewis c. l. o. automobile
union was not worth revising. While
Mr. Martin was not very converse
tional, so far as the public was con-
cerned. it was nevertheless apparent
that Homer Martin thought Mr..
Knudsen was right in his objections.
ANYHOW, every effort is being made
to effect ways and means SO that
The unions will be as responsible
and faithful in carrying out their
side of the contract as General
Motors and other large industries.
According to the tone of the news
papers in industrial centers there
seems reason to hope for real pro-
gress in industrial employer employe
relations. The means of negotlat-
ing and signing contracts between
employers and employees is definite
lv established through the collective
bargaining system. The only thing
lacking is to make it certain that
when a bargain is reached that it
will be bargain that will be lived

JUSTICE BLACK GIVES RADIO
TALK

Newly appointed Supreme Court
Justice, Hugo L. Black, over whose
connection with the Ku Klux Khan
there has been such a furore, de-
liyered a brief radio talk on Fri
day night in which he made empn-
attic denial that he is now member
of the Khan, and left no doubt that
he would take his seat on the SUI
preme Court bench.
= Justice Black broke all precedent
to reply directly to those who have
challenged, because of his Khan as
sociations, his fitness to sit on the
nations highest tribunal.
Speaking slowly Black told one
of the largest American radio audi
ences on record:
1.-THE insinuations of racial and
religious intolerance made concern
ing me are based on the fact that
l Joined the Ku Klux Khan about
Is years ago.
st did join the Khan. / later re-
signed. l never rejoined. What ap-
peared then, or what appears now

81 never have considered and
do not now consider the unsolicited
card given to me shortly after my
nomination to the Senate as mem
bership of any kind in the Ku Kluz
Khan. / never used it. l did not
even keep it."
Critics have attacked Blacks ap-
pointment to the Supreme Court
with the contention that Khan aftilia-
ton would prejudice him against
the interests of Jews, Catholics and
Negroes. The allegation was made
in a series of newspapers stories
that after becoming a Klansman
Black had been given a life mem
bership and that he still held it.

Service and Dominion

wv 7 HEN Christ Jesus, the Way
w shower, declared to his ambi-
w tious disciples duke 22:2D,
~ am among you as he that serveth,
he revealed the essential relationship
between service and dominion. Ser
vice, on the part of one universally
acknowledged TO be master, would
seem anomalous did not spiritual un-
Outstanding discern their inseparable
nature.
According to the first chapter OF
Genesis, man, In the image and like
ness of God, has dominion--even over
all the earth. This declaration OF
truth, however, remains but an alb
stract statement until proved by dem
onstration. In demonstration 1t soon
becomes apparent that the greater the
service rendered, and the greater our
understanding of the spiritual nature
of right service, the more scientif-
cally do we prove our spiritual do
minion.
The meaning of service became
elevated and ennobled recently In the
thought of one who. seeking In a
well-known dictionary for defini-
ton of servant" found amongst
other renderings, lone consecrated to
Cod" Because men are growing into
a better understanding of spiritual
values and proportionately relaxing
their tenacious grasp upon material
things, service Is being recognized
more and more as the way to happi-
ness and progress.
When on that well-known occasion,
the Master, girding himself with a
towel, proceeded to perform the hum
BILE service of washing the disciples
feet, he set a seal of spirituality on
service which 1t can never lose. The
first thought of mortal mind under
like circumstances would be one Of
superiority to such an action. Yet
but title study shows how there sim
ply could not be anything In mortal
thought superior to the spiritual
qualities which man-as Christ Je-
sus understood him-forever reflects.
Of our mortal selves we do nothing.
Mans true being is in God, and ID
manifested in the reflection of the
Godlike qualities Of love, kindness.
usefulness, activity, and service. In
short, in these qualities man express
es the divine Principle. The express
sion of God being ones chief end. 1t

"Signposts of the Sea"
Must Be Kept in Order

The ocean highways need as
much repair and patching as the
roads on land. The "signposts Of
the sea" must be kept in perfect or
der. Thousands Of buoys are placed
around our coasts, marking the dam
ger points and directing the way up
river mouths and into ports, says a
writer in London Answers Magazine.
Scores of lighthouses warn mariners
of rocks and sandbanks, and out to
sea ightships are stationed where
buoys and lighthouses cannot be
placed.
All these seamarks are subjected
to the ceaseless battering of wind
and wave, and throughout the year
repairs have to be carried out when
weather permits.
Naturally enough, most damage is
incurred during the winter, when
conditions are at their worst, and
when it is not uncommon for the
crews of lightships and lighthouses
to be cut off from the land for a
month on end. Because of gales and
gigantic seas it is frequently impos-
sible to carry out repairs during
the winter.
A large number of buoys are al
ways kept ready at an instant's no
tice at the depots, and if wreck
occurs, wreck buoys are at once
taken out to mark the site. AS a
rule the small buoys are brought in
for overhaul annually, the large
ones every three years.

Meaning of Inferiority Complex

By inferiority complex is meant a
group of feelings based on a sense
Of ones inferiority OF inability to
meet certain situations. An inferi-
ority complex may show itself in
many ways. A child may drive him
self to success in another field in or
der to prove his superiority or he
may show his inferiority complex
by bullying smaller children. The
best way to help the victim of such
a complex is to aid him in achieving
real success in line with his best
talents and developing him into a
person who is socially acceptable
and who has a secure position
among his fellows.

SChmarr Breaks
Scoring Record

"Fod" Cotton, Catholic Uni
versity's basketball coach, today is
looking for more sick men.
Last night, against Lasalle, Her
mie Scharr was sick. Even so, he
managed to score seven points for
the Cardinals, and those seven
points came at just the right times
during the course of the game
which c. U. won. 36-35.
For C. u, last nights victory was
sweet revenge. Lasalle, in prior
game in Philadelphia, won over
C. U. under circumstances which
left a bit of an odor.
Schmarr's seven points scored
last night, incidentally, gives him
an all-time individual scoring
record for a District college player.
Those seven points brought his
total for the year to 204, thus
breaking his own mark Of 1873
scored in 1886. In three years of
basketball at c. U. he has scored
583 points, which is some $50
points short Of the American mark
made by a player out in Utah.

A sap owner, of course, is ne
great novelty, but I'm always g
trifle upset when confronted by
a ball player who, upon taking g
perfect relay on an idea, stands
there regarding the ball with the
air of an alert dolt.
Anyhow, this is a more or less
faithful record of Gehrig'S re
actions today:
@. Are you holding out for
$4,000? A. Well, that's what
Mr.. Rupert announced, wasn't
it?
@. Since your last conference
with the club, have you heard
further about your contract?
A. couldn't say; you know how
it is, l really couldn't say.
@. You realize, of course, that
you're asking a bigger raise at
$4,000 a year than Jimmy FOxx
gets for an entire season? A.
FOxx's salary at $4,000?
Really now, you shouldn't ask
me questions about that, espec-
tally since FOxx gets a bigger
salary than $4,000, much big
ger. Closer to $25,OOO, but of
course can't be expected to
really know how much FOxx
gets. You know how it is.
The writer can only say that
he's afraid that he does. This
Gehrig has decided to hold out for
$4,000 against an owner who, re-
gardless of the mans actual worth,
cannot possibly start the season
without him. So this Gehrig has
decided what the best way to SET
tie that is to keep everything alb.
solutely confidential.
On the other hand, I, the writer,
who out of the wealth of his eX.
perience and knowledge can guar,
antee anybody an average Of $22,50
a week, advised the man to book
