Questions And Answers
WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL
SECURITY

@. 65 What is meant by a lump
sum payment under the old-age in
surance provision of the Social Sec
urity Act?
A. SIS "Lump-sum payment" is
the term used in the Social Security
Act to describe the single payment,
in one lump, of the amount which
may be due worker, now or later,
under the old-age insurance provi-
sions of the Act, in order to distingu-
ish such a payment from the month
ly old-age benefit payments which
will begin to be paid on January
/. 1912. An employee who may
not become eligible for a monthly
old-age benefit check may have a
lump-sum payment due to him now
or later. Lump-sum payments are
made to workers who have become
65 since January 1, 1887, and who
have worked in some employment
which is not specifically excepted
under Title VIII of the Social Sec
urity Act. A lump-sum payment also
may be due to the estate or rela-
tiyes of a worker who has been so
employed and who has died since
last December 81. Payments are
made only after a claim has been
filed with the Social Security Board.
Your nearest Social Security Board
Field Office will give you every as
sistance in filing a claim.
O. sc l am an employer. Do l
have to report the social security
account number of my employees?
A. sc Yes. The account number
of each employee should be part
of your records and should be in
Guided on your individual return
(SS-2a) for the employee, and on
cegtain other forms you will file
to aid your employee in getting the
benefit payments which may be due
him.
O. 81 l have accepted full-time
job with a new employer. Is it neces-
sary for me to apply for another
account number?
A. 81 No. You should make your
account number known to your new
employer and you should also make
your account number known to each
other employer for whom you have
worked since last December 81, so
that your employers can report &C
curately to your credit the wages
on which will be based the amount
paid you under the old-age insur-
ance provisions of the Social Sec
urity Act.
@. 6S What is meant by total
amount of wages an employee has
earned in covered employment
since December 81, 1886 and until
the employee reaches IS or dies. 1t
does not mean the annual salary
or daily or weekly wage. but the
total wages paid you, not counting
any more than $4,000 received in
wages from any one employer with
in one calender year For example,
if a worker received $4,000 from
one employer in one year, only the
first $4,000 would be counted; but,
if he received $4,000 year from
each of two employers his total
wages for that year would be $4,000,
which would be added to the wages
the worker received in othr years
to make up his total wages.

MONOCLE IS
TABOOED BY
new WORKERS
Only Posers or Nitwits
Wear Them Now-Some-
thing New in Big City
BY GEORGE TUCKER


NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-This town
seems to have rejected the monocle.
A few years ago the more daring
of the tycoons, social captains, and
professional first nighters adopted
the single glass as the last major
achievement in linking old world
culture to the new. But that was
at a time when the ordinary New
Yorker was assailed by hard times,
shrinking incomes, and the posi-
bility of being thrown out of work.
/ Then came the upswing and the
monocle was swept overheard with
the depression. Whereas one former
ly encountered half a dozen in an
evening-sometime worn by sin
cere persons but frequently by the
posers and brash nitwits who want
ed to assume the nonchalance of
a George ArliSs-there remains now
no trace of it. haven't seen a
single one in over a year.
In the first hey day of the
monocle's affluence in New York
the cocktail bars were the magnets
to which they were attracted. And
surprisingly enough nobody booed
or stared uncouthly. Perhaps they
were too preoccupied with what
spectre the morrow held. But ]
wouldn't want to walk into any
New York bar with one on now
it would become a target for a
fusillade of abuse.
The founder of New York's first

walton which has caught ON quickly
here's Chales LeSeuer, the unpre-
dictable son of an unpredictable
family which has left its trademark
in more than one corner of the
world.
Let me rehash fragment of the
LeSeuer family history for you:
Charles great-great grandfather
was one of Frances greatest paint
ers. F. Another branch of the
family founded a famous musical
conservatory there. Charles
himself was born on the Isle of
Jersey. . His family moved to
Minnesota and in no time a county,
mountain, lake, and a town
bore the family name.
Then Charley LeSeuer broke
away from the Minnesota hold
ings, came to New York, and de-
veloped into an executive of the
world-famous Park & Tilford COM
lpany. He is supervisor of all the
stores of that international chain.
He is also Joan Crawford's uncle.
You'll remember her name once was
LeSeuer, pronounced Le-Swar
Now he has introduced to New
York the last word in de luxe deli
catessens, which is what the French
provision counter really is. But there
is this distinction: There is no
clerk behind the counter. The man

Solitary Grandeur

Judging by what we read in the papers some West Side residents of the town are disturbed over the possibility of Settlers Village becoming an amusement center. This was occasioned no doubt by the in- terest displayed in the village by a Brook lyn, N. r., amusement park proprietor. So far as we can judge, from what has appeared in public print, his interest lies in the possibility Of transporting the en- tire village to Brooklyn, where 1t would be converted to commercial purposes. We fail to see where he might profit by such a venture, but then we don't know what is planned.
 However, there need be no concern of the village becoming an amusement cen- ter as It couldn't be converted very easily or successfully into one, even If all concerned-city officials, village corpora ton directors, and property owners were agreeable. There doesn't seem to be very good tout" for the village right now. It hasn't outworn it's welcome, but though 1t is only two years old It served casion. It Is now difficult to stretch the occasion to cover continuance of the vil- lage. It must go the way of all such ven- lures.
 Should the various racial groups be interested they might be able to put to good purpose the several dwellings that were erected, typical of native homes. If not, then the wise course of action is complete destruction. Somebody might like nice stockade and could probably transport the entire fence, piece-meal, if an agreement could be reached As to leaving the Town Hall to surmount the hillside, in solitary grandeur, 1t would not be long, no doubt, before 1t had fallen prey to creeping decay or exploring youth. Better to let 1t pass with the other buildings. They served their purpose well; let their tlmberS rest in peace.

A Thought for Today
It's the Syme, Whole World Over

New Hampshire is puzzling over the tax situation today. All of its public officials have come to the same opinion that real estate is bearing the burden of too much taxation. It is estimated that 95 per cent of local, county and state govern ment costs are borne by property taxes. This has familiar ring We recall quite well how such a cry reechoed around Connecticut several years back. It led to creation of special commission to stu dy all existing tax systems in our state and report back ways and means of shifting the present tax base from the property owners shoulders entirely.
 What this commission did was a tre- rnendous amount of work. Since its re- port several years back it has been en- deayoring and others have been endeav- bring to put through legislative channels some of the many recommendations made. Some have gone through and are now in force, but you'll still find plenty of complaints about property taxes. Ana Connecticut has profitetd nightly, too, of recent years from such sources of rev. enue as motor vehicles, liquors and cigar cites.
 One of the first things they did in New Hampshire was to recommend a substi- tue for property taxes, retail sales taxes and state income taxes. There doesn't seem to be too much enthusiasm about either of them end from what we can sur mise officials aren't positive that the peo. rle will care to support either or both of these taxes We record at this point that both forms of taxation have been turned aside in this state, even when they were recommended as essential to balanced budget. Connecticut seems to want no part of sales or state income taxes on top of its many other pleasant forms of ir- come-raising.
 It's remarkably funny how few of these rlans to change tax systems, designed to aid the taxpayer, call for drastic govern ment economies. That's the real, honest to-goodness, sure-fire means. of aiding the taxpayer.

his last public gesture was to donate his vast treasures of art to the United States for public view.
 While MT. Mellon had long been prom inent in the world of business prior to his advent into politics, it was in this latter sphere that he came to occupy top po- sition in republican ranks. There is no doubt but what he was very much in the foreground throughout most of three g. O. D. presidents administrations. The late Warren Harding made him his Secretary of Treasury and despite Cabinet scandals he remained in the same office through out Coolidge's and Hoovers regimes, re- signing February 5, 1882, just month before he would have left office, to be- come Ambassador to Great Britain.
 When MT. Mellon took over the Cabi- net nortfolio. particularly that of the Treasury in years right after the war, ne knew little or nothing of practical poli- tics. But he did know lot about money and banking and he proceeded to apply his theories and knowledge to the gov ernment. He was often termed "the best secretary of the Treasury since Alexander Hamilton, but such characterizatio only provided, to this writer's belief, an incentive for democratic and republican foes to attack MT. Mellon with renewed vigor.
 His entire political life found him bat fling foes from without and within. We don't doubt but what it made the last years of his life somewhat less sweet. Still Mr Mellon found time to devote himself to his hobbies, principally collecting art treasures. These now are public property, indication that the donor harbored no i'll will to populace and government that showed both sides to hinl-good and bad

The Derby-New Haven road, probably one of the oldest concrete-surfaced roads in New Haven county or for that matter the entire state, may soon be replaced. Plans are now under way for new road between the two cities which will paral- Tel the old route. The present road IS made up mostly of patches today and Is narrow compared to the newer roads throughout the state. It should be for it dates back to 1917 which is exactly twen- ty years ago. The road was built more or less as an aid to troops being mustered for duty in France. There was consid.. erable traffic between New Haven and Derby by army trucks, inasmuch as troops were garrisoned at Yale Field pre-. paratory to sailing for France. The road has seen heavy traffic since that time and undoubtedly must go down in highway history as an old-timer, one that has seen better days and deserves replace ment.
