All Employees Should
Have Social Security
Account Numbers

All employees, even those en-
gagged in casual or temporary empoy-
ment, should have social security
numbers.
This advice was given today by
Joseph T. Ware. manager Of the
Dayton Social Security Board offices.
Mr.. Ware said that ii had been
brought to his attention that num-
Der Of employers, particularly CARA
ges, hotels, and retail stores OF all
kinds, do not sinsider casual en-
ployees as being covered by the So
cial Security Act. Some employees
have informed US that many of their
temporary employees do not have
account numbers. Employers should
require employees, who do not have
account numbers, to fill out form
SIS, Application for Social Security
Account Number, at the time Of en-
ployment.
Under the Social Security Act
employers are required at stated in
tervals to submit reports to the
United State Collector Of Internal
Revenue Mr.. Ware said.
"These reports must show the
names of the persons from whose
wages deductions have been made
for social security. They must also
show the amount of these wage de-
ductions and the social security ac--
count number of each worker. If
the employer does not know his en-
ployee's social security number he
must submit an application for the
person who is employed.
aTn cases where the employee has
left the service Of an employer, this
is often difficult" Mr.. Ware added.
Mr.. Wares Office serves Mont
gomery, prebIe, Greene and Darke
Counties. Persons residing in those
counties should apply to the Day
Ton office of the Social Security
Board, 303 Post Office Bldg, for
their account numbers, Mr.. Ware
saia.

High Illness, Death
Rate Blamed
On Poverty

WASHINGTON, Mar. 28.--ANP)
The first Of series of reports in
connection with a nationwide survey
of health conditions conducted by
the United States Public Health
Service, released this week, disclosed
that large percentage Of sickness
and many deaths in the country are
caused BY the inability Of poor peo-
pie to pay for medical care
Among families having incomes Of
$500 a year or less, l6s babies out
Of every 1000 died, ais compared
with 80 deaths per 1000 babies in
the group making $4,000 a year. The
survey showed that individuals on
relief and those earning less than
81 500 year are sick oftener, their
sic5nesses last longer, are more se-
vese and they get less medical care
than persons making $1,000 ar mo

lens Among relief and low-income
families, the proportion Of disabling
illness receiving no care from
physician was larger among families
in upper income groups.
The survey, financed by WPA
grant Of S4,000,000 consisted of
house-to-house canvass Of 5000
families, which included 100000
persons in "a cities and % rural
areas. The report said that the sit
uation with respect to medical care
is probably worse now than when the
survey was made, because Of the dis
continuance of Federal relief money
of medical assistance.

lie newspapers are chided By Mr..
frank +. Crosswaith, chairman Of
he New York Labor Committee, for
their attitude toward the labor
novement in Harlem .sIn Negro
Harlem alone there are over $4,000
dnion men and women" SAYS Mr..
8 'osswaath. fstThis vast armv Of
lew Negroes, under the guidance
and inspiration of the Negro Labor
Committee, are learning how to rely
upon the organized might Of their
sass and race as the way out Of our
present social and economic Gethse--
meme And yet, Negro journals con
tinue to ignore this highly signifi--
eant phenomenon and to underesti-
mate its value to the millions Of our
tormented kinsmen in the United
United States and the world"
While this criticism IS aimed spe-
cificaily at the Harlem press, Of
broader significance is this para
graph from Mr.. Crosswaith's state
ment: We feel that Negro journal
lists, because of the plight of their
race as q whole, ought to be able
70 feel enough pride Of group to en-
able them to appreciate the duty and
the responsibility they owe to their
readers. The time has come when
Negro journalists and journals must
cease interpreting to the outside
world the life and conduct of this
race IN terms purely sensational,
comIcal and religio-fanatical. There
are far fewer Negroes today blow

for the Walls Of Jerich to come
tumbling down Negro working men
and women today in ever encourag-
ing numbers are learning the eff
cacy and Importance of economic or
ganization. Way don't Negro iourn-
alists encourage this trend? Is it
possible that they are unable to
intelligently evaluate this healthy
turn in the tide of Negro life?'
These are questions which it
might be well for editors to give a
itt'a more consideration iii their

Fight Back"
As the founders day speaker Of
Morris b4oWn College in Atlanta le-
esntls, Judge William G. Hueston,
oA missioner of Education Of the
Hlhs admonished the group TO 'iignt
BIC IN the face Of the tremendous
economic and social pressure on the
lace. This advice is somewhat diff
ferent from that usually heard in the
learning. However, extenuating cir
cumstances may be found in the fact
that Morris Brown is an Am. f..
School, and that the An. e. denom-
nation owes its very existence to the
fighting back spirit Of Richard
Allen, its sainted founder. But even
Judge Hueston was not sure he was
being followed altogether in his
course. He said: you may not
agree with me but / came here to-
night primarily for the purpose Of
saying that if the Negro is to sur
vive in America, beginning now, he
must change his policy Of non-re-
sistance to things heaped upon him
because Of his color. In other words,
am saying to you, that we must
fight back. We must use all OF the
weapons which other people use.

How Japanese Women Iron

The Japanese woman solves her
ironing problem without an iron.
Up to few years ago she usually
ripped her kimono to pieces, simply
washing it, after which she fastened
it to board, where it dried as a
handkerchief might be dried on a
window or a mirror. In China, wom-
en- accomplish their ironing by using
bamboo poles, run through the legs
and sleeves of garments while wet,
and allowed to dry. The careful
worker shifts the pole from one leg
or sleeve to the other during the
drying process by way of shaping
the garment.

dleweights of America, if. not

Fred Apostoli of San Francisco
knocked out champion Freddie

ninth round of a scheduled

Luckily for Steele, the fight was
above the middle weight class max
imum weight of 100 pounds. Though
the champion at 1881 pounds was
under the weight, Apostoli by

weighed in at 1914. In order to win
a title, challenger must be at or
under the weight of a champion he

Apostol, therefore, is an I'M

ringside who saw him batter Steele
into a state Of helplessness are in
no doubt about what will happen
when the two meet in an official
