these reports, have explained they
took it for granted the applicant for
work had reached the legal working
age because he had exhibited an ac-
count card. Since the registering of
applicants for old-age insurance be-
gan late in 1886, account numbers
have been assigned to approximately
10000 persons below the age of 16.
"The responsibility of an employer
to comply with Federal and State laws
regarding the hiring of minors is not
affected by the fact that the appli-
cant for work may display an account
card" he continued. Possession of
an account number card is not evi-
dence of anything except that the
holder has established the right to
have set up for him wage account
under the Federal old-age insurance
system. The wage account is for use
in connection with the eventual de-
termination of the amount of old-age
insurance to which the wage Garner
will be entitled when he reaches the
age of 65 or dies. These same ac-
count numbers are used in connection
with the administration of State un-
employment compensation laws"
Beyond these two uses, Mr.. Corson
pointed out, the card has no signifi-
canoe. at should not" he said, "be
accepted by merchants as identifica-
ton when exhibited by persons who
want to open accounts or have checks
cashed, nor should it be regarded by
employers as evidence that young
person may be hired in accordance
with child labor requirements"

PRESENT MOVIE
COOKING SCHOOL

The Worcester Democrat has scored
again!
This newspaper has just been sue
cessful in securing the new Motion
Picture Cooking School, "Star in My
Kitchen" which will be presented at
the Marva Theatre on Wednesday,,
Thursday and Friday, September z,

Mark the days on your calendar be-
cause every woman-and man-in the
community is hereby extended cor
dial invitation to see, absolutely free,
this fascinating picture which weaves
helpful, intelligent lessons on cooking
and home-making into a humorous
and romantic plot.
The Motion Picture Cooking School
is a brand new idea. First conceived
last year, it has met with acclaim
from women throughout the country,
who like the happy combination of
sparkling entertainment and closeup
coking instruction. Seats in the back
row are as good as those in the front
row-the motion picture permits
everyone to hear and see every trick
in frosting a cake, making pie, or
cooking bananas.
"Star in My Kitchen" was produced
in Hollywood, and the audience will
recognize many of the rising young
actors and actresses who take part in
it. Women young and old will ap-
preciate the humanness of the roman
tic story, in which home problems are
approached from an entirely new
angle.
The Motion Picture Cooking School
has graduated beyond the demonstra-
ton course in the wide variety of
clear view of the audience. All of
household equipment assembled in
the practical equipment is seen in ac-
tive use, and because 'seeing is be-
lieving", the audience will soon learn

make them "stars in their kitchens"
Experienced housekeepers will thrill

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY,

FYOU are entomologically inclined,
every huttering moth and butter.
hy, as we'll as other insects, will
L attract your attention: therefore,
on your trip through the pastures and
grasslands, you notice many little yel-
lowish-whi moths fluttering close to
the grass or perhaps flying low above
1t. Watch them.
II you will choose one OF them to
center your attention upon, you will
see her alight upon a blade Of grass.
Then she tucks her wings tightly about
her body and hugs the blade Of grass
closely. Upon close inspection, and
1t Is to be hoped you have q mag
nifying glass with you, the long beak
or snout jutting out from her head
Identifies her to you as OF q very
common species known as grass moths
They have silver stripes and bands as
well As golden marks upon their wings
and are very beautiful little creatures
indeed.
However, handsome Is as hand
some does." and these moths have
offspring that do a vast amount of
damage to the roots Of young corn.
What this moth under observation is
doing is making herself inconspicuous
while she lays her eggs upon or in
the grass.

long. Food supply is the governing
factor. During the last part of July
the youngsters may be seen weaving
silken cocoons or larval tubes. In
these they transform into moths, an
experience which takes about IL days.
Their onslaught upon the corn roots
stops them from growing. When you
see the plants dying OIL, it Is usually
the result of the corn-root web-worm's
work. AS the family Is a very prolific
one, many Of these are to be found
clustered about one plant. A field Of
corn can be wiped out In a few days
by these root consumers.
The moths emerge In July, find
their mates, and lay their eggs in
August and September for another
brood. These hatcn in September and
October, becoming half-grown before
winter. They hibernate in their cozy
silken webs and await the spring that
brings grass to the surface. Until the
corn is planted and ready for them,
they feast upon the grass to be found
all about them.
The insect with the streamers is the
foe that holds the web-worm in check.
She lays her eggs in the younger,
plump caterpillars. They become the
carryall as well as the food supply
for her offspring, and thus the army
of our corn eaters is somewhat dimin-
ished. They are the natural checks
Flowing deeply in the fall, exposing
the hiberating villains or outwitting
them by planting crop Of potatoes
will starve them out. This is mans
attack.
