old Age Payments
Made to 26I Employees

Old-age insurance payments to 261
Minnesota employees or their families
totalled $11 ,53637 in May, according to
statement made today by Frank H.
DAILY, in charge of the Duluth Office of
the Social Security Board. The claims
averaged $44.20.
A total of $70,832.32 has now been
paid to 2,011 Minnesotans under the
old-age insurance system.
Mr.. DAILY reported that claims are
being filed much more promptly than
heretofore. He attributes this to a
rapidly growing understanding of how
to make a claim and to realization
that payments will become larger as
time passes.
More than 100000 in single cash
benefits has now been paid to en-
ployees or their estates under Federal
old-age insurance, Mr.. DAILY said. The
average amount of time required by the
Social Security Board to handle claim
has been reduced to "a days.
Claim forms and assistance in filing
them are available at no charge at the
Duluth Office of the Board.

HARMONY IN THE HOME.

htnNlOrNI I'm LIE HUME.
Why is it that some homes seem to
radiate harmony and peace, while
others are in perpetual state of jarr-
ing discord?
OF course it is not to be expected that
any home can be completely free of
tension and disagreement, for when
human beings live in such close ascot
alton as family life makes necessary,
there is bound to be FRICTION. A Ger
tain amount of friction is even desir-
able. For by rubbing up against other
people in the home, children learn valu-
able lessons in how to adjust to the
people they will be working and play
ing with in the world outside. Friction
becomes destructive when it is con-
slant, or when the rights of certain in
dividual family members are necessarily
tramped on.
No one would be foolish enough to be-
lieve that it would be possible, by fol-
lowing set of rules, to preserve an at
moSphere of calm and harmony in ones
home. On the other hand, few would
go so far as to say that giving thought
to the matter might not have some
satisfying results. Two fundamental
principles that seem to have lot to
do with successful family life are
these: 1. Friendliness and compatibility
between the parents. If there is tender
ness and sympathy between the two
most important adults in a home, there

President Kallio, over the radio on
Sunday, spoke as follows:
I'm the name of the people of Fin
land present my heartiest greetings to
the Films and Americans meeting to
celebrate the 3OOth anniversary of the
settlement of the Delaware River Val
ley. I experience no little satisfaction
in doing so as the head of nation
whose people participated three hun
dred years ago in the founding of
colony, a colony which with other
settlements, through the passing of the
years, has produced the great United
States of America. Your country has
from its birth been the home of politi-
cal and social liberty and as such has
served as an inspiration to the entire
world.
Finland, which after strenuous
struggles achieved it's complete indie
pendence, through its entire history has
considered freedom as the permanent
cornerstone of its political institutions
Finland is proud to remember with re-
spect and gratitude the persevering eff
forts of Finnish emigrants in forging
ahead amid the freedom of America,
an America which has offered new
homes and new opportunities across
the ocean to thousands of members of
our race.
Through me, the Finnish people
greet you Americans of Finnish descent,
those whose forefathers settled there
three hcndred years ago as well as
those who settled there in the years
that followed. And remind you that
the greetings of the Finnish people are
as warmly extended to the entire
American nation"

IS basis for feelings of security in the
children. 2. Respect and consideration
for the rights Of each family member.
Only when fairness is observed can
family life be free from the rancor and
resentment that must inevitably be felt
in the presence of Illustration. Fathers
and mothers have rights and needs;
children have needs. Only when each
member understands the needs of
others and actively tries to see that
they are met can family life be truly
harmonious.
1t is easy for children, each of whom
Is intent upon satisfying his own de-
SireS, to recognize that others wants
are just as pressing as their own. One
way in which alertness to the needs
of others may be encouraged is by ex-
pecting of each family member certain
things in the way of cooperation. If
Billy is once allowed to suffer for not
having brought in the firewood that
mother asked him to, in order that she
might iron him fresh shirt, he won't
be quite so likely to forget again. If
Esther has to go all the way back to the
store when she wants to play, because
she forgot on her way home from school
to bring the vegetables that were needed
for the soup, she can't help seeing how
dependent the family is on the help
fulneSS of every one.

Weight of a Body

The weight of body is the force
with which it is attracted to the
earth. Weight, therefore, depends
upon two factors-the amount OF
matter which it contains, and its
position with respect to the earth.
The nearer a body is to the center
OF the earth, so long as it remains
upon the surface, the greater is its
weight. Thus, a body of a given
mass will weigh more at the base OF
tall building than at the top.

Buffalo with a good business of
his own.
He had sent Peppino money to
come to America and get married,
and he had a job for him waiting.
1t was all so simple. Right now,
at this very moment, before any
one guessed he was in New York,
they would take a train to Buffalo
and he married there, and there
you are-he kissed her again-all
fixed, he and Nicolo, smart boys.
But 'Sunta's eyes were wide and
solemn. The music in the street
had stopped suddenly. She led him
by the hand to where they could
look down. Below them in the
street the holy procession was
weaving its way slowly through
the crowds from the old stone
church at Mulberry and Prince.
AS it passed the old people knelt
in the street. Heads were bowed
in the throng. The men all held
their hats pressed to their breasts,
and the women'S lips moved in
prayer.
THE GETAWAY
Somewhere in the crowd Uncle
Berto was standing. Somewhere
else with his friends, Luigi would
be standing, too, and up at the
open window, Tant' Elena bowed
her head and prayed fervently.
The young accolytes swung their
smoking censers, and the voices
of the priests came on the still
night air, intonlng the old Latin
words, beseeching the care and
favor of San Genaro on his chill
dren.
Just for a minute the two
dropped to their knees, hushed at
the wonder of it all. Then stole
like a pair of children over the
dark 1oofs to a doorway to the
street, whole long block away
from Uncle Berto's apartment.
Peppino lifted her into the first
coasting taxi they caught and told
the driver, Grand Central, quick.
She sat on the edge of the seat,
breathlesS, excited. staring out at
the streets as they rushed up
town, weaving over to hit Lafay-
cite Place, then into Fourth Ave
nue., and before one realized it,
there was the Grand Central with
its tower as if it we're expecting
them. She sighed at last with
deep relief.
Il was afraid you might try to
kill Luigi, or-or put the sign
upon my cheek"
Peppino gave her a rough hug.
Me? I don't have to kill some
one to get my girl, do I? Do I
want to put myself in jail? don't
lose my head like that. I'm a
wise boy, 'Sunta.' He pulled a
silk handkerchief out of his pocket
and tied it over her curls. Nov
you got hat, come along, bam-
blno, we got to run for it."
