is covered by old-age insurance and
then reaches the age of S.. What
would he have to do in order to OBJ
tain payment of his old-age insur-
ance benefits?
A. Any worker in commerce or.
industry in this area, who reaches
age 65, should send, write, or call
at the Baltimore Office of the Social
Security Board, get the proper app
plication blank and file his claim,
for benefits. The easiest way to file'
his claim is for the claiman~ to go,
himself, to the field Office, where q
member of the staff will be glad to
give him the blanks and help in fill
ing them out while he is there.
workers who reach age IS do not
have to quit their jobs in order to-
receive this lump-sum payment OF
benefits, but may continue work at
their usual employment.

widow collect his old-age insurance
benefits?
A. The widow or estate Of de-
ceased worker, who was employed
in commerce or industry before his
death, should file claim for benefits.
If it is impossible for her to visit
the field Office of the Social Security
Board, she may write, telephone, or
send to the Office for the application
blanks. After filling out the forms,
she would return them to the field
office.

plication for social security &C
count number l gave the wrong age.
l should like to correct the mistake.
What can l do about it?
A. Go to the Baltimore field office
of the Social Security Board, where

the change has been made. There is
special blank form provided for
such corrections.

social security account has the same
numbers as that assigned to the in
sured worker

there is only one employee, is it
necessary for the owner of the shop
to make wage report to the Gov
eminent for the one employee?
A. Yes. Under old-age insurance

Act, an employer of one or more en-
ployees in shop, or other COM
mercial establishment, is subject to
the law.

FEDERALS DROPPED
 FROM LEAGUE PLAY
lContributedl

At meeting of the directors of the Nome Baseball League Wednesday night, the Federal team withdrew from further lea que play. The remaining teams are tied for top spot and the in- terest in baseball should be hei- ghtened by the new setup. The Federals, already weak, expected to lose Captain Rood, whose work will soon take him out of town.
 The vacant game spot will be taken over by the women's lea que who will play six-game schedule. The Nome Women, a combination single-married group are much stronger than last year; the Alaskans are also strong the High School Girls should do well, and the Blazers need pitching strength. The League will be better balanced than last year, and better baseball and closer games may be expected.
 Under the new schedule games will begin at 7:30 instead of eight o'clock.
 Next weeks contests pit the Nome Women against the Alas kan Women and the Comm ercials against the Alaskans.

Harding Aids The Natives
 Getting Fish
(By Preston Grover)


 Harding. This is happy one. Glance at a may of Alaska. No tice that the line separating ii from Canada runs southward from up in the Arctic but when it gets near the sea coast it turns backward and down the coast, giving the United States long strip of coast line.
 Near the southern end of that strip is an island named Metla- katla. It has history.
 About 20 years before the gold rush to Alaska an industrious Episcopalian missionary, Father Duncan, was preaching among a tribe of Indians on the mainland opposite the island and well in- land.
 Duncan was successful as mis sionary, although he was often in conflict with church officials. He believed in going half way with the Indians in religious matters, allowing them to adapt Christian ity to their own conditions, to a degree.
 The Schism
 Becoming quite out of patience, he finally broke with the church and moved with his Indian col ony out on Metlakatla Island. There the Indians, handy and self provident, did very we'll, catching salmon for winter, selling a few furs and worshipping under Dun- cans guidance.
 Ultimately Presbyterian mis- sionaries came to the island, so that now there are two rival groups, little bitter at times, but usually getting along togeth- CT.
 President Harding visited Met lakatla in 1922 on his trip to AL aska. With him was Herbert C. Hoover, then secretary of com merce, in which is the bureau of fisheries. Keep that in mind. It Is important.
 During the Harding visit, a mass meeting of the Indians was called in front of meeting house and the Indians were invited to state their cofplaints, if any. A StalWart Indian of middle age arose. His neighbors, embarras- sed and shy, sought to pull him back to his seat, but President Harding intervened.
 Let him talk" he said.
 Indians Revenge
 The Indian told his story. He had been over to the mainland in a boat with his squaW to catch the winter supply of salmon, Far up their favorite salmon stream they went, set up their equip ment and waited. No salmon came. Long after the tim the salmon should have arrived, theV waited-knoWing that without salmon it would be hard winter for them. Finally they went down the stream, despo ldent.
 They found the trouble at the mouth of the stream. There salmon fishing barge was anchor ee and nets blanketed the entr- ance. Not salmon could pass. The Indian asked permission to catch enough fish from in front of the nets, but was refused. He was told he could buy what he needed, but had no money. Back to the island he came, and who should be there but the President of the United States. The Indian got quick action. It is against the law to block stream with nets. Some salmon must pass to replenish the stock. The President ord,eredthat enou- gh fish should be let go by also for the Indians The order pass ed from Harding to Hoover to the canners. And Metlakatla got its fish that winter.

F. R. the Keynoter

WASHINGTON - The outstanding fact in
these conferences between Roosevelt and big
business leaders is that the President insists
on assuming the role Of keynoter.
His essential keynote. despite the genial urban
ity that F. D R cuStomarily assumes, centerS
around his belief that he and Big Business
recently have had passage at arms. and that
he. Roosevelt obviously has come out on top.
In effect the President told the five busi-
ness leaderS-repreSentatiVeS OF the steel, auto
mobile railroad. machinery and food indus
trials.that he thought he had "out-demagogued
them and could continue to "Out-demagogue'
his business critics in any argument as to wheth-
er the administration or business itself had
brought on the depression
He asked whether government and business
ought TO keep throwing dead cats at each
other. The business leaders agreed that it
would be a mistake
There is so much np-and-tuck touch-and-
60 and guess guess in the current Situa-
ton as it involves government, business, de-
preston and the hope of recovery, that this
writer prefers not to accept now any OF the
various versions of a possible subsequent rap
prochement between government and business
But the business leaders are veering more
toward an attitude Of going along with the ad-
miniStration since three things became apparent:
That Roosevelts pals were going to domin-
ate the Supreme Court
That Roosevelt was getting too inSiStent
about his ant-monopoy. INSTRUMENTATION, an
carefully planned TRADES of Assistant Attorney
General Robert H. Jackson and Secretary OF

Industrialists have healthy fear of the pos
Sbility that workers can be reused up against
them by able demagoguery and the New Deal
crowd has been Just ruthless enough to toss
such threat at them.
On the other side of the question it might be
said that Roosevelt and his aides think this
threat is less reprehensible than the alleged
tactics of big business" in seeking to blame the
depression on the administration. and using
it as a pretext for wiping out the New Deals
legislative structure
To get into his real frame of mind it is neces-
sary to remember that Roosevelt is an incur
able optimist who regards himself as unbeat-
able. and to remember his hope expressed
in the 1886 Madison Square Garden speech
that in his second administration the forces of
selfishness and greed" would meet their mas
ter"

But if local grapevnes are good for anything
it would seem that Roosevelt suggested business
should reform itself before the government got
around to it, The business men talked back, but
everyone careful TO see that the meeting
didn't break up in row.

Letting Sleeping Lions
Keep on Sleeping

For the sake of the world and all the
nations in it, everyone who has watched
the far eastern situation at all closely is
hoping today that Japan has the good
sense to let the British Lion alone. That's
why the newspapers gave such promin-
ence to news that japanese authorities
at Tientsin demanded that the British
hand over to them Chinese who sought
refuge in the British concession, threat
ening to take the Chinese by force if the
British did not comply Luckily for the
peace of the world, the Japanese did
not carry out the threat. even though
the British did refuse to hand over the
refugees.
Japan is not sufficiently versed in
international diplomacy to embroil other
nations on her side. China does not COM
mand enough firm international friends
usually won through international in
fluence growing out of national wealth
to, bring the other nations in on her
side.
But if Great Britain leaped into the
battle, you would see such an interna-
tional furor as only Great Britain can
create. All the wiles of British propa-
ganda, all the strength of British wealth
and all the men of British dominions
would be thrown into the conflict. Ard
the rest Of the world would have hard
time staying out.
If japan is smart, she will not tweak
the tail of the British Lion too often or
too hard.
