@. My sister, who is secretary to
the manager OF a large firm, is g0-
ing on a months vacation next
month. While she Is away, ] am
going to substitute for her in the
office, and draw the same pay she
gets regularly. Should get my own
social security account number. or.
should l use hers since 1t Is only
substitute work?
A. You should have your own
social security account number and
report 1t to your employer. A social
security account will be set up for
you, under the number you receive
in your own name, and the wages
you draw while employed in your
sisters regular job. as well as
wages you receive from any other
employment in commerce o.. indus
try, will be recorded on your social
security account. When the time
comes for you to receive old-age in
surance benefits, a total of all such
wages you have received will be
made and your benefit payments
will be based on that amount. Such
temporary employment is not ex-
copied from coverage under old-age
insurance provisions of the Social
Security Act.
@. l live on a small farm and do
some gardening work there, but am
going to take job for half days
in the city as an assistant to a
plumber. Should l have a social Sec
urity account number when ! go to
work for the plumber, or do / need

a week. The firm I worked for went
out of business, and at the time it
closed the firm owed me, as well
as ten other employees, six weeks
back salary. do not think I will
ever be able to- collect it, and am
wondering if I could get unemploy-
ment compensation to tide me over
until / can find something else.
A. 1t is very likely that you could
get unemployment compensation.
you should go Immediately in per-
son to your nearest State Employ
ment Service Office and register for
another job and at the same time
make application for unemployment
compensation benefits. An initial
waiting period Of about two or three
weeks is required by most States
after the worker has made applica-
ton for benefits. After this waiting
period has been served, If no job has
been found, benefits are made to the
worker, based on the wages he re-
ceived and on the length Of employ
ment.

Cock Of the Rock Clever '''r
Dancer In Native Haunts

In the dense forests Of South
America through which flow the
Amazon river and its tributaries,
lives the cock Of the rock, according
to naturalists who have described
him, the most beautiful bird in the
world. He is a glorious creature, In
a coat Of bright orange, black-tipped
wings and tail, and a marvellous
double crest which runs backward
from the tip of his bill, over the
top Of his head, like the ridge Of a
helmet.
To see them dance, relates writ
er in the Michigan Farmer, you
must peep through the underbrush
in the dense shadows. If you are
fortunate, you may see a score Of
birds in a natural amphitheater,
the spectators gathered on bushes
surrounding an open space in the
center-the stage.
Here this radiant, feathered actor
takes his place, and his solo dance
begins. With lowered wings, and
outspread, pumping tail, he walks
round and round the stage, scratch
ing the ground and springing into
the air-the spectators in the bushes,
meanwhile, giving every evidence of
keen enjoyment of his act.
When he is tired, he joins the
spectators, while another male
takes his place on the stage. No
body knows how long the dancing
continues-probably until every
young brave has done his stunt.
The show is all put on for the
benefit of the shy little females, de-
mure and brown, with small crests,
only suggestions of the gorgeous
ones of their mates.
The nest Of the cock Of the rock
is like robins nest, but clings to
the face Of a boulder, hence the
hancock Of the rock.

GAIN IN CHEVROLET SALES

Continuing the steady upward
sales trend that has marked public
acceptance of the 1889 Chevrolet, a
rise of 1873 per cent in the sales
graph was reported here today by
the motor firm for the period ending
April 20. The gain over the pro-
vious period, which closed Apri! 10,
is represented by 3,453 more units
sold at retail, according to the fig
ures released. A total Of 25,196 pas
senger cars and trucks were sold
by the industry's repeating leader
during the ten day period.
Although March was hailed by
William e. Holler, general sales
manager, as zone of the company's
greatest sales MONTHS" the April 20
period eclipses the records establ-
ished last month by Al per cent, in
dicated that increased public APP
prevail is being expressed for the
1889 models.
A gain of OIL per cent Is shown
over the same period in 1899, when
Chevrolet had retailed 21,164 pas
senger and commercial units from
April l., to April 20.
Total sales for the first 20 days
of April were 46,939 units, the re-
port revealed, as against 1888
sales in the same period of 1888.
This represents a business gain Of
els per cent.
Truck sales for the period total
ed 5,291 units, an increase of 1855
per cent over the figure reported
April 10, and 24.1 per cent over the
April 20 figure for 1888. A total of
$500 commercial jobs have been
sold during the month to date,

Deer Guided BY Sense Of Smell

OCCE OunuCu Ny ScuSc VI 0meu
The deer, like most wild animals,
lives in a world where he is guided
largely by sense of smell. It is
not a special sense, but highly de-
veloped, according to the American
Wildlife institute. Deer blaze their
trails through scent secreting
glands, above the hooks on his hind
legs. When these glands are re-
moved, the deer thus handicapped
is easily lost. The mule deer, which
has a high bounding gait in running
and consequently covers great
stretches Of ground in one leap, has
scent-secreting glands about six
times as large and potent as the
Virginia deer. The Virginia deer is
on the ground more, so does not
need to leave so powerful scent
each time he touches the ground.

Patrick Henry's Famous Speech

The second revolutionary conven-
ton Of Virginia was held in st.
Johns Episcopal church at Rich
mond in IT'S. Proposals for a
peaceful settlement had been
strongly advocated. On the third
day, March %, 1775, Patrick Henry,
realizing that war was inevitable,
overwhelmed the opposition to reso-
lutions for arming the Virginia mill
tia in a speech which has since be-
come famous. He ended: SIS life

Nothing New

There is nothing new under the
sun. Eyebrow plucking was prac-
ticed 5000 years ago and intermit-
tently throughout the ages. A lip
lotion is recommended in an old
book published in Venice in 1910,
"ashes of hairs plucked from a
horses tail mixed with an equal
portion of honey" Far Eastern
beauties at all times have found,
and still find, a substitute for the
much-maligned lipstick of the
Twentieth century flapper in the

Gutenberg Did Not Imprint Name

Johann Gutenberg (1397-1468), the
inventor of printing from movable
metal types, never imprinted his
name on any of his works, says Col
lier's Weekly. The first book to bear
a complete imprint-name of the
printer, place and date-was the cell
ebrated Latin Psalter of 1457, which
was published by a firm consisting
of Gutenberg's son-in-law, Peter
Schoeffer, and his former partner,
Johann Fust.

Embargo Repeal Opposed
By Senator Wheeler


HUDSON, Mass, Oct. 2.-Reg-
istering his opposition to repeal of
the arms embargo, United States
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Demo-
crat, Of Montana declared Europes
problem today paralleled others
faced many times-"the characters
may be more bold, but the plot and
the climax are as old as European
history ITSELF"
Addressing a Homecoming" cele-
bration In his honor yesterday, the
senior Montana Senator asserted his
sympathies were with the allies
and know that the American peo-
pie and all lovers Of democracy want
Hitlerism crushed"
"Our entry into war cannot be
measured alone in terms Of lives lost
and dollars spent" he added. "The
price would surely be loss Of democ-
racy and Christianity. They cannot
Withstand the impact of war"
Wheeler, native of Hudson, said
he would favor the cash-and-carry
sale of raw materials.
The Homecoming was doomed In
this town Of $500 as the start Of
campaign to win for him the
Democratic nomination for the
presidency, but his answer was:
"Of course 1t would be a great
honor to run for the presidency 80
but I still intend to run for the
Senate"

This is stirring up criticism just as
is the growing distrust of large
executive power.
In the pending neutrality bill, the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee has written a provision giving
Congress equal power with the Presi-
dent to invoke neutrality laws. Such
a proposal is being called unprec-
edented. 1t is merely a significant
symptom of the effort to find way
to make the American system OF
Government as responsive to the
public wish as is the parliamentary
method which for hundreds Of years
has been meeting the demands of
democracy throughout the world.

Senators may tell us they are less

than to keep America out of war.
Only Congress can take us into war,
as provided in Section 8 of Article I
OF the Constitution. Any one who
attended the joint session on Sep
tember 81 and witnessed that uni
versal, passionate demonstration of
anti-war determination cannot pos
sibly imagine that this House and
Senate would ever vote for war,

That being so, it's hard for many
OF us to understand why Congress
should hesitate to do its utmost to
assure triumph for the cause which
represents everything Americans
hold dear. The issue is clear. Delay
is dangerous.
