similarly after July l, 1889, infor- nation will be available concerning wages credited through 1888.
 Managers of field offices of the Social Security Board have been in- structed to- advise any person wish ing to inquire about his account to give the same name he used in ap- plying for his social security ac- count number, the exact date of his birth, the account number assigned to him and his address.
 Wages, Not Taxes
 Accompanying tn c statements concerning the status of their ac- counts the Bureau of Old-Age h. surance is sending to wave earners circular reminding them that their benefits under the old-age in surance provisions of the Social Se- curity Act will be computed on the basis of the wages paid them rather than on the taxes which they and their employers have paid.
 
 "If this statement of your wage account is incomplete, the circular continues, it may be because you did not give your account number 70 your employer and he could not give it on his report to your wages, or it may be because your employer did not file his report promptly, or because his report has not yet been received. Where wages earned in 1937 were not actually paid until 1888 they may not be included in this statement The amount credit ed is also subject to adjustments if it is later found that any part of it represents payments for employ ment not covered by the Act.
 "If this statement does not agree with your records, please send, promptly, information showing CD the name and address of each en- ployer you had during the years 1887, @ the beginning and closing date of employment under each em- ployer, and (3) the amount of wages received from each employer"

 But the experience at Eva Le Galliennes had filled her with a stage ambition. She applied for other roles in vain. An as she tells it:
 q was down to my last penny. I walked and walked and walked, looking for part. I got along on $5 to $10 a week. never took subways or busses. I walked. Finally I thought of Lee Simonson at the Theater Guild He is a friend of my fathers. telephoned him and said I would adore meeting the Lunts. So I was introduced to MT. Lunt-in sort of social way-and I suggested to him that was an actress. He told me they were hav- ing additions in few days and to come along and read something. And so did and here am."
 Joy Hodges is the ingenue who appears with George M. Conan on- stage in the political satire, "I'd Rather Be Right" and who appears with him often offstage, for the great G. M. likes to show the little lady from Des Moines, Iowa, about the town. Slight-framed and blonde, Joy has been to the Big City twice before-while she was vocalist with George Olsen and Jimmy Grier's orchestras in hotel grill rooms. But the impresarios did not sign her up for Broadway extrava- ganzas.
 Then she went to California with the Grier contingent, and Moss Hart, oyerhearing her during a radio broadcast one evening, sent for her, engaged her for "I'd Rather Be Right" and Joy made her third trek back to this entertainment capital. This time, to stay, she trusts, for she has legitimate stage ambitions.

 Martha Scott made her Broad way debut in Thornton Wilder's poignant play, Our Town" with cut preceding fanfare about her beauty or ability.
 A summer ago, the Haydon and Scott girls were working together in a show on Cape Cod; the natives said that both young women would go places. Well, they did, and it was only a lucky accident that Shadow and Substance" and Our Town" came only week apart.
 Like the Haydon girl, Miss Scott also is embarrassed by praise. When told of the enthusiasm about her work, she murmured: T am so thrilled by it. But don't deserve it, really don't"
