S. S. Cards Being Used by
FOrgers to Cash Checks.

Lost and stolen Social Security 'Ac-
count Number cards are being used by
forgers to aid them in caShing stolen
unemployment compensation checks.
This was pointed out today by Frank
T. Starkey, Industrial Commissioner,
in charge of the Minnesota Unemploy-
ment Compensation Division.
Merchants asked to cash benefit
checks on the basis of Social Security
Account Number Cards should be posi-
tive that they know the individuals in
volved, or demand further Identified
ton, Mr.. Starkey cautioned.
At the same time Commissioner
Starkey urged all workers in the state
who do not have Social Security Ac-
count Numbers to obtain and safely
keep" such numbers.
"Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the importance of having a So
cial Security Account Number" the
Commissioner stated. Numbers are OBJ
tainable by all workers, regardless of
age, since all unemployment compen-
sation division records are maintained
according to both the names and &C
count numbers of workers"
He advised workers to keep their
original account number cards in safe
places, making copies Of the numbers
for presentation to their employers.
He also emphasized the importance of
having only one number, and of giving
the same number to all employers.
All correspondence from or workers
sent to the division headquarters in st.
Paul, or to its branch offices through
out the state, should contain the names
and Social Security Account Numbers
of workers in question, he said

tons up here in the Arrowhead country
That is, the men are. 1t seems that
most of our visitors have been in the
habit of hooking up their electric
whiSker choppers and moving down the
old briStles daily and can't get over the
idea of not being Accommodated to this
extent up at most of the resorts. An
unshaven face looks very bad, they tell
us, and something should be done. Well,
one way to get around this would be
to have all gas stations equipped with
mems shaving rooms complete with al
necessities. And the other way? You
know, the good old fashioned safety
scraper. Or maybe the resort owners
should all have their own BARRIERS to
take care of the patrons?
Over in Montana the state fish and
game department recently purchased
20 tons of salt for distribution on deer
and elk ranges. Up here in the
Arrowhead the state game and fish
department is saved all that trouble
the pOachers take care of it for them.

millions of feet of lumber and destroys

slant pleading evidently fails to impress
upon certain few that their careless

nature built up in hundreds of years.

THE BASHFUL CHILD.

Parents who have themselves suffered
in childhood from bashfulness are SYM
pathetic in the extreme about the same
symptom in a child. In fact they
sometimes agonize over it so much that
their strong feelings almost increase the
child's shyness. How can one be help
full, without running the danger of ap-
pearing too much aware of a child's
difficulties?
There is no sure cure for shyneSS, any
more than there's specific cure against
common colds, and one is much less
likely to be found than against colds.
However, there are things that can be
done that will perhaps crowd the shy
ness out, or cover it up, or make it less
important.
First of all, it's important that child
shall feel equal to the situation he's
in, whenever possible. When does a
child act bashful? When he doesn't
know what to do. Teach him, then,
how to act in as many as possible of
the situations in which he's likely to
be placed. A child can't help learn all
the bits of social usage that will be
useful to him without some help. This
doesn't mean that he should be drilled
in lot of Sinking mannerisns, but
that he should have practise in little
social graceS that will help him to feel
at ease when he's among people. If
boy is accustomed to push in his
,rf o1ooi la cif OF 4los
table, or to hold the door open for her
as they enter the house, he will be more
on the lookout for things to do to make
other people feel comfortable when he's
a guest somewhere. If the much
younger child is given the duty of
taking the guests coats and hats, he
will learn to forget himself, because he
has something to do.
Very little children are often shy be-
cause they have seen so few people, and
while children of tender ages shouldn't
be taken about constantly into many
gatherings, they should have enough
opportunities of meeting people, in their
own homes and elsewhere, SO that they
do not feel awkward.
Grownups are often responsible for
making a child feel i'll at ease, be-
cause they don't know any better than
to make him the center of attention.
Goodness knows they don't want him to
be the center of attention long, and they
hate nothing worse than having to ad-
mire and comment on a child's looks
and accomplishments during the whole
of visit. But they often bring it on
