NEW 0LD-AGE ACCOUNTS SET
 UP FOR YOUTH
More than Half of 1938's $
 Applicants Were Less ..,no,.. Than 30 Here

More than one-half of the old age insurance accounts set up in 1888 for workers in Alaska were for men and women under 30, accord- ing to a statement issued today by Hugh Wade, Territorial Director of the Social Security Board at Ju- neau. More of these account num- bers, he stated, were assigned to young people between IS and 25 than to persons in any other age group.
 In making public the analysis of applications during 1888, on which these figures are based, Wade point ed out that the social security &C., count numbers assigned to workers in Alaska represent .0006 percent of the 5786,481 issued in all States during the year.
 StabilizatiOn
 Analysts of the Boards Bureau of Old-Age Insurance, which made the study. regard the large pro- portion of applications for account numbers from young people as eW- dence that the system is reaching stabilization. Workers who already had jobs in employment covered by this Federal insurance plan got their numbers at the start of the program early in 1887; they knew it was important to have their ac- counts set up promptly so that their wages would be credited toward the retirement annuities to which they will eventually be entitled. AS a re- suit, the bulk of the new applicants are naturally young men andwomen who are taking, or are about to take, their first jobs.
 The records show that applica- tions for account numbers received in Alaska from young people 20 to 24 years of age amounted to 635 or 16.8 percent of the 1888 total for the Territory; this is the largest number going to workers in any five-year group. Some 434 or 11.5 percent of the Territory's total ap- plications came from workers IS to 19, with those from 25 to 29 accounting for 486 or 129 percent. This heavy demand for social se- curity account numbers was found among young people in all the states. The national percentages for 1888 were: PAS percent for those from Is to 19 years old; 19.l percent, 20 to "A years old; and 12.3 percent, 25 to 29 years old. Per sons under 30 thus received 56.4

 Eight Runs

Clahde Erskine pitched one-hit ball last night for Douglas as the Islanders shutout the Elks, 8 to 0 in Firemen's Park to pull the Elks from the league lead and throw them into a tie with the Moose.
 Erskine was in fine pitching form, and the Elks powerhouse lineup was unable to scratch him for more than the double by Koshak in the first inning.
 All told, Erskine struck out eleven men.
 Douglas did not score until the third inning, but with four hits and a pair of Elks errors, brought in four runs.
 In the fifth inning again, Gribble tripled to bring in Erskine for an- other score, and in the seventh in- ming, Erskine hit a homer with Turner aboard, and after Gribble had grounded out, lanky Douglas First Stacker Mckay garnered him. self a four-base clout to celebrate his return to channel baseball after two years layoff.
 Hagerup pitched the entire game for the Elks and had ragged support, with four errors appearing in the score book.

TIGERS RIP ALONG ON 3
 GAME WIN
Giants Finish Sire ak of Eiqht Victories Other
 Good Contests
(By Associated Press)

With the Detroit Tigers tearing along on a nine game winning streak and the New York Giants finishing streak of eight victories yesterday. the Yankees and Card inals respectively faced the chore today of subduing them in the week end series.
 Detroit coasted to victory over Boston on a five-run cluster ob- tained in the fourth inning, more than Boston could overcome in late hitting yesterday afternoon.
 The Giants mopped up on Chi cago.
 Dodgers Dropped
 Taking a big early lead, and chok ing rally, the Cardinals stopped the Dodgers and dropped them to fourth place behind the Giants Medwick and Don Paggett homered during the game and Warneke held the Dodgers scoreless for six innings and then wilted in the heat.
 Curt Davis broke rally in the ninth.
 The Yankees stopped the six-game winning streak of Cleveland.
 Pittsburgh Ends Slump
 Punching eight hits, Pittsburgh ended a six-game losing streak bouncing on the Boston Bees.
 The Philadelphia Athletics also ended six-game losing slide by outnosing the Browns in the ninth inning.
 Washington evened the four game series with the White Sox, plunging out ahead and staying there.
 Harry Kelley was the only hurler in either of the major leagues to go nine innings and he allowed 10 hits.

percent of all the account numbers assigned during the year.
 More Youngsters
 In a similar study of account numbers assigned prior to 1888, 40.4 percent of all applications for account numbers were found. to have come from persons in these three age groups. But those from l5 to 19 accounted for only 5.7 percent of the total, while the per- centages for the two succeeding age groups were 1894 and 16.3 respec- lively.
 For each five-year age group over 30, the 1888 figures show pro- gressive decline In applications, both for the country as whole and for Alaska. In this Territory those from 30 to 34 accounted for lO.8 percent of the years applications, while these nearing retirement age 50 to 64-lnade up only 4 percent of the Territory's total. It is be- lieved that most of these in the middle aged and older groups who applied for account numbers last year are persons who had recently shifted from employment not in- clrlded in the o,d-age insurance system to industrial or commercial jobs which are covered by it. It is expected that new applications due to shifting from uncovered to cov- cred employment will probably con- tinue, but in decreasing numbers.
 Older Applicants
 Applications for account numbers were also received during the year from PIT persons in Alaska who al- ready were 65 or over. MT. Wade explained that although wages earned after 65 do not count to- ward old-age benefits, numbers are assigned to workers past that age to facilitate the handling of Terri torial unemployment compensation records. In all states the number Of workers past 65 applying for &C., count numbers is relatively small
 In addition to it's data on age groupings, old-age insurance records reveal that the number of women applicants is substantially larger l. than might have been anticipated The 1850 census indicated that wo- men constituted about 22 percent
