OED-AGE INSURANCE FOR
CLAIMANTS

Old-age insurance claims amount
ing to $12,551.56 and numbering
327 were certified for payment dur
ing the month of March in Mary
.and. The average payment to claim
ants in this State, in March, was
$685. A total of 1866 claims,
amounting to $50, 145.94 has been
eltified for payment to beneficiar
es in Maryland since the first of
January 1887, when the old-age in
.uiance provisions of the Social Sec
urity Act went into operation.
Lump-sum payments of old-age
ins urance are now being made to
lder workers who have been en-
ployed Tin jobs that come under
he law at any time since 1886, and
who have reached the age of IS
since the first day of January 1887.
Lump-sum payments of old-age
insurance are also being made to
elatives of workers who had par
icipated in the Cld-age insurance
,ystem and who died since the first
of January 1887.
In the United States lump-sum

367,87. The average amount certi-
fed was $500.

FOR MORE EDUCATION

The Federal Government is asked
to increase it's aid to- education
throughout the United States by
raising this years appropriation
from about $55,O0O,O00 to $780,
600, 900, with gradual increases up
to $199, 100000 in 1944-totaling
new Federal grants Of 1856, 900, 900
over the period of years. Most of the
funds would be spent in rural dis
tricts and the rest would be used to
improve teacher training, building
new schools and provide rural libar-
les, and improve adult education.
There is considerable opposition to
the plan among educators through
out the country-who by looking
through a knot hole-have discov-
cred that this is one more way of
Federal control over
rural life, thereby depriving the
States and local communities Of
their rights, as well as duties.

FEDERAL AID AND HIGHWAYS

Through excise taxes on new aut3-
mobiles, gasoline, oil, parts, and ac-
cessories, the Federal Government
is collecting in excess OF S320,000,-
900 annually. At present, Federal
highway aid for expenditure through
the state highways departments
amounts to $500, 100000 a year, and
an additional S3S,OOO,O0O is expend-
ed for forest roads and trails and
park reads. The figures indicate
that there are very great diversions
of gasoline taxes that the law says
should be used on highways. This
is plainly administration.
G. H. Purcell chief engineer of
the California State Highway De-
partment told Washington news
papermen that these ccntr buttons
are well in line with the Federal
Governments evident responsibility
to help the States share the costs of
improving general use and national
defense highways" In expressing
the views of the American Associa
ton Of State Highway officials of
which he is President he added ITO
reduce the Federal outlay for high
ways to the suggested depression
basis is to unfairly deprive motor
lists of highway facilities. Road
needs today are far more intense
than when the full weight of depres-
sion Observation-Disclosures are now about
100000 more cars than in 1898,
and more gasoline is consumed per
car"
The State highway officials are in
sisting that the backbone of high
way improvement is Federal aid,
and they demand immediate steps
by Congress to extend the nations
roads without lowering the present
basis.

FIGHT AGAINST NAVY BILL

Fourteen Senators opposed to the
super navy bill have met to plan a
definite fight against it "to the last
ditch" Whether this means fill
buster or not is yet to be seen, but
that it means bad days ahead for
the administration is certain. Every
indication is that the debate will
last for at least two weeks and that
the questions that will be put to
Senator Walsh-in charge of the bill
as Chairman Of the Naval Affairs
Committee-will not be easy to an
swer. Senator Walsh, by the way,
has already shown himself unsym-
pathetic with the recent trend of
foreign policy.
Several recent developments will
make the fight against the navy bill
in the Senate even stronger than it
was in the House, where an unpre-
cedented opposition vote was rolled
up. 1t is obvious that the Navy does
not know what it wants. Its demands
have constantly increased since the
bill was introduced The expendi-
ture called for has jumped from
$500, 100000 to- $1,261, 100000.
1t is quite within the realm of
possibility that final action on the
navy bill well be postponed until
the next session of Congress, giving
The people OF the country a chance
to indicate whether they want the
money they pay in taxes frozen in
ornaments or used in these critical
times for the relief and benefit of
the people of America.

Jenolan Caves Created
by Underground Rivers

Among Australia's sights are the
Jenolan caves, a series. of caverns
in the valleys of the Great Dividing
range. The caves were created by
underground rivers and are decorat-
ed with limestone formations.
There are ten of these caves,
which have been decorated by the
ceaseless dripping of water through
the limestone belts above them.
The Grand arch is natural
bridge 40 feet long and 40 to 80
feet high with a varying width of
from so to 227 feet. Just below it is
the willow bordered blue lake. Car
Donate of lime colors the water. This
lake is the confluence of three riv-
ers, two of which flow underground,
and the third through the Grand
arch. There is another natural
bridge high above the Grand arch.
1t is Carlotta arch and is go feet
high and 40 feet wide. The River
cave, through which flows the river
Styx, has a depth of Is feet.
The caves were discovered in 1888
by Charles Whelan, while he was
following the tracks of stolen cattle.
But an outlaw named McKeowan.
had been there before him. His
camp was found by Whelan. The
river flowing through the Grand
arch is known as McKeowan's
creek. Jenolan is an aboriginal word
and means a high mountain.

Revere Silver

Revere was the greatest early
American silversmith. At nineteen
he took over his fathers business.
Most of the Revere silver in exist
ence was either of his manufacture
or made under his personal super
vision. The design was based on
English Georgian style of the Eight
eenth century, characterized by
greater simplicity of decoration and
beauty of proportion than is usually
found in English work. Revere sill
yer is equal to the best plate Of
any country of that period. The tea
and coffee sets are among the finest
examples of any period of the silver
smiths art.

Peculiarities of Geese

Geese have a way OF attaching
themselves to other animals as
guardians and friends. One, in a
British wildlife collection, took up
with crane, threatening to bite
visitors or even other cranes ap-
preaching his ward. Another took
under his wing a polo pony, going
every day to the pasture to "pro-
tect'' it. Then there's the Chinese
goose that acquired a violent at
tachment for a dog. The dog was
killed one day by another dog and
the goose chased the murderer
miles.

YOUR oLD-AeE INSURANCE
Who Gets the Benefits?


Nearly 3S,O00,O00 workers in the
United States now have Social Sec
urity account numbers. Any one of
them could see his own name on
Uncle Sans record sheets, if he
were inside the building in Balti-
more, which houses the Records Di-
vision of the Social Security Board.
In certain filing cabinet, he would
find a duplicate of his Social Secur-
ity account card.
There are rows and rows of filing
cabinets which hold these cards, each
one showing the name, address, en-
ployment, etc., of one worker. In
addition, there are ledger sheets
which also contain the name, ad-
dress, etc., of every eligible worker,
with, plenty of space opposite his
name to- keep account of his wage
earnings. Employers report the wage
earnings Of each eligible worker in
their employ; and that information
is transferred to the ledger sheet, or
wage record, that is kept by the
Social Security Board.
Now, who are the eligible work
ers? They are the employees in fac
tories, shops, mines, mills stores,
offices and other places of business
or industry, not excepted under the
law, who were less than 65 years old
on January 1, 1887.
What is meant by employment
that is not excepted under the law?"
Generally speaking, it is any kind
of business or industry, save farm
labor, domestic service, Government
service and a few other excepted
services. For instance, Bill Jones, a
middle-aged man, is employed In a
steel mill. He works on job that
comes under the law. His younger
brother, John Jones, is employed on
farm, and, therefore his work does
not come under old-age insurance
provisions.
Amy Drew, young woman, is
Employed in laundry. She works in
employment that is covered by the
law.
Amy's sister, Lilly, cooks for a
private family; Lilly's job does not
come under the old-age insurance
provisions.
Howard Brady is employed as a
linotype operator by newspaper.
He works in employment that is COW
cred by the law.
His cousin James Brady, is en-
ployed as linotype operator in a
Government printing office. There
fore, James does not participate in
the old-age insurance system.
Some day James Brady or John
Jones, or Lilly Drew may change
jobs and find themselves working in
employment that does come under
the law At that time, their Old-age
insurance benefits will begin to ac-
cumulate and their wage-earnings
will be recorded on their Social Sec
urity accounts.
Questions concerning old-age in
surance may be sent to this paper
or to Mr. Luther Becker, Manager
of the Social Beard office. 100 Hop
