CONFUSED AND BEWHDERED

Republicans everywhere are con-
fused and bewildered," declares Ber-
nard MocFadden in the current Lib
erty magazine. His editorial, titled
"The Poor Old Republican Party"
asserts that "They hardly know
where they are going or how to get
there They realize with humiliation
many past mistakes and they would
like to avoid similar difficulties. But
what to do, where to turn and whom
to look to for encouragement and
assistance present intricate prob
lens. Just now they need capable
chairman"
John D. M. Hamilton is the Re-
publican partyis biggest liability"
he AYERS ''He definitely indicated
his lack of efficiency in the last ma
tional election with outstanding
emphasis.
1.-THE Craftsmanship of the Repub-
lican party is Herculean job. 1t re-
auires a seasoned broad-gauge ex-
ecutiye with years of experience,
with the balance and poise that
comes with clear thinking, and a
young promoter whose experience is
confined to developing business in
small towns is not the right man
for such job"

WAGE-HoUR ADMINISTRATORS

Elmer F. Andrews will have all
the charts and rules concerning new
wage-hour schedules ready next
month, and he tells the country, as
Administrator of the new Federal
Act, that he trusts employers and
employees to make the new Federal
law effective.
He doesn't suspect anybody OF
everybody, in advance, with trying
to chisel or wade the new law. In
business-like way he will organize
"a system of inspection, which ac-
cept, investigate, examine and take
proper action upon complaints" This
is entirely different from the
methods followed by the NLRB--
which has made it SO unpopular.
Andrews has been through the
mill with the Labor Department in
New York State, and his Labor Day
statement indicates that he knows
his stuff. And what a relief this
promises to be from the brain-storm
ing political demagogism that has
ushered in innovations in Govern
ment regulations.

WHEAT INSURANCE POLICIES
ISSUED AS WORCESTERSHIRE

Wheat crop insurance policies now
being issued to growers by the Fed
eral Crop Insurance Corporation are
worcestershire, according to informa-
ton received by DR.. T. b. Symons,
dean and director of the University
of Maryland extension service. The
premium farmer pays when he
obtains a crop insurance policy is
the only cost of this 'all-risk' pro-
lection for his wheat CROP DR..
Symons said. There can be no ad-
ditional charges in any contingency.
Under the crop insurance plan, DR..
Symons explained, farmers pay
premiums in wheat, or in its cash
equivalent, into joint reserve OF
the Corporation, and in case of
losses to the insured wheat crop,
they are reimbursed from this re-
serve with wheat, or cash equivalent,
to bring their yields up to the in
sured amount. In case losses should
exceed premiums paid in, there can
be no assessment on policy holders.
The Federal Crop Insurance Cor
poration has an authorized capital
of $1OO,OOO,0O0 for the express
purpose of safeguarding policy
holders, and should an unusual sit
uation arise in which the wheat re-
serve built up from premium pay
ments is insufficient to meet insur-
ed losses, this capital provides an
additional reserve from which in
IDENTITIES to farmers may be paid.
The cost of administering the wheat
crop insurance program including
the cost of storage of wheat reserves
is being borne by the Federal Crop
Insurance Corporation.
DR.. Symons stated also that farm
ers who have applied for wheat crop
insurance, and who now plan to
seed a smaller acreage, indicated in
their applications. Growers may have
received, or will receive, notices of
premiums due on the original acre
age they specified. However, the
county office can execute rider to
their premium notice which makes
it possible to pay premiums only on
the actual acreage to be seeded.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT OLD-AGE
INSURANCE

Given below are questions that
have been asked by men or women
of this region. The answers are sup
oiled by Mr.. Luther Becker, Man
Ager of the Baltimore office of the
Social Security Board, address 100
hopkins Place.
Question: l have reached the age
Of 65 and | know l can file claim
for lump-sum benefit if l want to.
However, l want to go on working.
Therefore, could | postpone filing
If my claim until l retire?
Answer: Yes. However, you may
file your claim for a lump-sum bene-
fit now, without retiring from work.
A number of people have the mis-
taken idea that they must retire in
order to receive lump-sum bene-
fit. A worker can go on WORKING
after reaching the age OF 65 and at
the same time receive his lump-sum
payment. The retirement provisions
come under the system of monthly
benefits, which do not begin until
|l942. When the monthly benefits
begin, they will be paid to qualified
workers who reach the age or 65
and retire from their regular JOBS
in industry or commerce.
@. am 68 years old. and my
employer has asked me to get
social security account number.
Please tell me why l should have a
number.
A You do not come under the
old-age insurance provisions of the
Social Security Act, but you prob
ably are covered by the States UNI
employment compensation law, and
the State agency administering un-
employment compensation uses SOC
ial security account numbers for I'M
employment insurance.
| I. O. l was married last month
and gave up my job, which was
covered by old-age insurance provi-
sions of the Social Security Act.
Will l get any thing under the old
age insurance program?
A. Yes. Even though you never
again hold a job that comes under
the law, you will get "a percent OF
vour total wages received from en-
pIoyment covered by the Social Sec
urity Act (after you reach the age
of 65.) Note the fact that this lump
sum payment will not be made I'M
til you reach the age of 90, when
Won will be eligible to file claim.
If it so happens that you are again
employed in later years, in job
that comes under the Act, your
wages from that employment will
also be credited on your social Sec
urity account. 1t is entirely possible
that YOU might, under such circum-
stances become eligible for month
ly benefits.
O. Whate do / have to do in
order to become eligible for month
ly old-age insurance benefits?
A. If you should be employed by
commercial or industrial firms for
anv period of time (even one day
in the year, in each of five different
years, between the end of 1886 and
the time you reach the age or %;
and if, during the entire time OF
such employment, your wages tai
added up together amount to $2,OOO
Cor mere), then upon retirement
from such employment, at the age
of IS, you will be entitled to month
ly payment of old-age insurance
every month for the rest OF your
life. The amount of the payments
will depend upon the total amount
of wages credited to your social sec
urity account. The least monthly
payment of old-age insurance that
can be made, according to the law,

Miss Margaret Pheeters, Nutri-
ton Specialist for the University OF
Maryland extension Service, points
out that ten or twenty cents wisely
spent for spices provides seasonings
that can be spread over a number
of months. From box of mixed
whole picking spices, different kinds
can be picked out, such as bay leaf,
peppercorns, and white cloves, and
used separately to make blend
dishes appetizing. A box of mixed,
powdered poultry seasonings pro-
vides a pleasing blend of favors for
stuffings, stews and soups.

One of the branches of American

Paramount. without a second
thought, answered:
"You are not Zaza."
Immediately thereafter Miss Miran-
da went back to not working again,
a practice in which she has had time
to develop remarkable proficiency.
Evidently both she and Paramount are
feeling better now, walking hand in
hand under the moon or something,
for the studio has arranged for Miss
Miranda to ride atop the biggest white
elephant ever to crash Hollywood. That
would be Hotel Imperial" colossal

cost more money and broken more
hearts than anything of its kind this

of the most promising screen stories,
Hotel Imperial" has been taken out
of the dusty files on three occasions
and started on its way through the
process of being transmitted into cellu-
loid. Each time something dire has
happened until producers. directors
and players have begun to believe the
script is infested with evil spirits.
Pola Negri was the first actress who
fractured her ego and Paramount's
bank account trying to make Hotel
Imperial" Nothing came of her effort.
The next time it was tried, the director
was darned near killed in an accident.
Then Marlene Dietrich and Ernest
Lubitsch got together for whirl at
it. The whirl just made Miss Dietrich
dizzy and she walked out on the pic
ture twice. raising other tempera-
mental actresses one walkout Mar
garet SULLIVAN was called over from

tripped over cable on the set, fell

that it took five months to patch her

in which the weeping heart has healed

Miranda to the company's pay roll.
Miss Miranda, a girl from Italy, does
not know about the background of
Hotel Imperial" She is going into it
with a completely innocent mind.
What she will come out with, no one
knows. Maybe as the girl who thinks
she is Zaza (even if Paramount did
not), Miss Miranda has just the spirit
to frighten away the malevolent phan-
toms which have lived with the story
for IL years. 1t ought to be something
interesting to watch.
