QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Infection
II a healthy person has his teeth
filled by dentist who has Just been
treating some patient with venereal
disease, and the dentist should cut
the gum with drill or burr, isn't
there a chance that the person will
be infected with the venereal d.
sease? &c. c.
Answer-Not particularly. II the
dentist Is one of standing and prop
er training. There Is less chance
than there would be In having your
nails manicured, your hair done,
your skin treated, your whiskers
shaved. following some customer
who had communicable disease.
Presumably you would not patronize
a dentist who is not competent to
use strictly aseptic methods.

YOUR oLD.AGE INSURANCE
Employees who Earn More than
$4,000 a year

EnpiOyeeS WHO n"ih MvfC OAoh
$4,000 a year
Under old-age insurance provisions
of the Social Security Act, nothing
over $4,000 year from any one
employer counts toward benefits.
For instance, man who is paid
$4,000 a year as an employee OF
one firm and Is employed at that
salary for IL years (between 1885
and the time he reaches the age of
go will calculate his old-age insur-
ance payments on total earnings of
36,OOO-and not on his actual sal
airy earnings of 100000.
Another man who works for the
same firm at salary, less than 3d.
600 a year, should calculate his old
age insurance benefits on the full
amount of his salary earnings.
A worker, who is employed by
two or more different firms, calcu-
lates his old-age insurance benefits
on salary earnings up to $4,000 a
year from each firm.
Suppose linotype operator, who
is employed by a newspaper aid
also does part-time work as an en-
ployee of a job printing shop, earns
$4,000 year as newspaper en-
ployee and $4,000 year as an en-
ployee of the printing concern. He
works 10 years for both firms, be-
tween 1886 and the time he reaches
the age of 65.
On the wages he is paid by the
newspaper, $4,000 a year will be
credited to his Social Security ac-
count, which in 10 years amounts to
100000. His entire earnings for the
print shop, which in 10 years
amounts to $4,000, will be credit
ed to his Social Security account.
Therefore, a total of $4,000 will
be credited on his old-age insurance
wage record. And his old-age insur
ance payments will be $62.08 per
month, after he reaches the age of
IS and retires from his regular job
in commercial employment.
Questions concerning old-age in
surance may be sent to. this paper
or to Luther Becker, Manager of the
Social Security Board office at 100
Hopkins Place. Answers will appear
in. this paper.

BUY A POPPY

The Veterans of the Foreign Wars
in their annual Buddy Poppy Sale,
are urging that you buy one or more
of the peoples to help along good
cause.
The profits of the sale will be
applied to the adequate maintenance
of the relief activities of the veter-
ans.
All the Buddy Peoples are made
by disabled and needy former SER
vice men, patients in government
hospitals throughout the country.
The entire proceeds will be used
for welfare and relief work. The
poppy sale is endorsed by the Presi-
dent, and also by religious and pa
triotic bodies, profes sional and in
dustrial organizations and individ-
uals of State and National prom
inence.
In view of the significance of the
sale to the cause of Americas war
disabled, we hope that you find it of
sufficient interest to warrant doing
your part toward assisting the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars and making
a new high record for poppy sales
this year.

THE PURPOSE OF MEMORIAL
DAY

Monday next, May 80, will be OBJ
served throughout the United States
as Memorial Day.
1t is we'll for all Americans to
keep in mind the ideals which its
conception prompted the observance
of Memorial day. To emphasize this
spirit in the many proclamations OF
safe governors and city mayors, the
Memorial Day committee of the Me-
mortal Extension commission has In
three trenchant sentences set forth
the main purposes of this solemn and
hallowed occasion:
To visit not only the memorials
and final resting places of national
heroes but of their own departed
relatives and friends.
To take measures and memorialize
permanently local historic sites and
the graves of local celebrities in
order that their memory may be
kept forever green.
To pay homage to the heroes OF
peace-scientists, educators, phil
anthropists, statesmen, industrial
pioneers, etc.-as well as to the
heroes of war.
In these times of uncertainty and
wavering, the many leading citizens
who are promulgating this proclama-
ton have performed patriotic ser
vice in seeking to strengthen the
spiritual observance of our memorial
to those who have fought the good
fight, have finished the course and
kept the faith.

MORE CLAIMS APPROVED FOR
PAYMENT OF OLD-AGE
TNCVrR NOE
INSURANCE

The sum of $11,457.59 was certi-
fed for payment, during the month
of April, to 264 claimants in Mary
land, who are entitled to old-age
insurance benefits. This statement,
which was issued today by the Social
Security Board, also reveals the fact
that a total of 2,219 claims amount
ing to $7O,6O3.53, were approved
for payment, to Maryland residents
during the first sixteen months Of
the operation of old-age insurance
provisions.
In April, 1870 claims, amount
ing to $824,234, were certified for
payment to old-age insurance claim
ants in the United States. A total of
134,297 claims, amounting to $4,-
249,46S, have been certified for
payment to persons throughout the
whole country, since January l,
1887.
1t is said that the Social Security
Board is now equipped to approve
one old-age insurance claim every
80 seconds of the working day and
is actually approving them at the
rate of $50 day.
Lump-sum payments of old-age
insurance benefits are made to elig-
ible workers who have reached IS
since January l, 1887. and to the
relatives or estates of such workers
who have died since that time. A
lump-sum benefit payment represents
31s percent of the total wages re-
ceived.
The wife of a deceased worker
usually has a prior claim on the
lump-sum payment due her husbands
estate. If no wife survives, the chill
dren or parents are generally the
preferred claimants. The amount of
the payment varies, of course, since
it is based on the wages earned in
covered employment from December
81, 1886, up to date of the en-
ployee's death or the date that he at
tanned age IS. The average amount
of lump-sum payments in the Unit
ed States last month was $42.55.
In this state the average payment
in April was 434O

AUTHOR OF THE DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE

Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln
stand as the three towering figures
in the first years of American his
tory. Time adds to and does not de-
tract from their eminence. The ex-
listing Washington Monument and
the Lincoln Memorial will be supple
mented by the addition of a Me
mortal to Thomas Jefferson. From
the Washington Monument grounds
the Jefferson Memorial will be seen
across the Tidal Basin, in which the
Lincoln Memorial and the cherry
trees fianking it will be mirrored.
President Roosevelt has approved
the plan worked out by the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion.
Thomas Jefferson was an architect
of exceptional ability. He designed
his own historic home of Monticello,
at Charlottesville, Virginia, and the
original buildings of the University
of Virginia, also at Charlottesville.
The Capital of Richmond was like
wise designed by him.
From creations of his brain there
has been selected for the Memorial
at Washington a design that looks
very much like replica of the Lii
brary building at Virginia University.
The Jefferson Memorial will be
modest and beautiful-particularly
SO because John Russell Pope, one
of the masters of architecture of our
own times gave to this work the
touch of modernism and the added
classic OF France that Jefferson wove
into the buildings of the University.
Mr.. Pope was the architect of the
Mellon National Gallery of Art, and
that building is already under con-
struction. Messrs. Otto r. Eggers
and Daniel Higgins are carrying on
the plans of Mr.. Pope, who died
last year.
The Jeffersonal Memorial Commits
sion, of which Congressman John j.
Boylan Is chairman, is composed of
a dozen outstanding officials and
citizens. They have convinced the
opposition to agree to their plans.
In doing SO many controversial
points regarding location and chang
es in public grounds have been settl-
ed amicably.
Thus, Thomas Jefferson, author Of
the Declaration of Independence
and original champion of democracy,
win be perpetuated in a fitting
memorial.

No Helium For Hitler

The plea of Germany to the Unit
ed States Government for helium
gas has been formally denied, and
there is general approval of the ac-
ton of Secretary of the Interior
Ickes, for the stand he has taken in
this matter. Germany promised that
any helium furnished for its new
dirigible would not be used for war
purposes, but the United States Gov
eminent has very plainly indicated
that it hasn't very much faith in the
promises of Herr Hitler.
