Alaska Youth Registers For Old Age Insurance

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, according to a statement issued today by MT. Wade, Territorial Director of the Social Security Board at Juneau. More of these accounts, he stated, were assign to young people between l5 and 25 than to persons in any other age group.
 Tn making public the analysis of applications during 1888, on which those figures are based, Mir. Wade pointed out that the social security account numbers assigned to workers in Alaska re present .0006 percent of the 5,786, ,481 issued in all States dur ing the year
 Anaysts of the Boards Bureau of Old-Age Insurance, which made the study, regard the large proportion of applications for account numbers from young peo ple as evidence that the system is reaching stabilization. Work CTS who already had jobs in em ployment covered by this Feder- sll insurance plan got their num- Der at the start of the program early in 1887; they knew it was important to have their accounts set up promptly so that their wages would be credited toward the retirement annuities to which they will eventually be en titled. As a result, the bulk of the new applicants are naturally young men and women who are taking, or are about to take, their first jobs.
 The preponderance of young applicants is particularly notice able among women, those from Is to A making up 48 percent of aL the women applying for ac- counts in 1888, while among men applicants these age groups rep resented only Al percent. MT. Wade pointed out that, even so, young men under 25 outnumber ed young women of the same age by nearly half million 1,507, ,739 against 1,012,927.

ALASKANS LIKE LIFE INSURANCE

Alaskans are life-insurance minded, Dudley Dowell, agency director of the New York Life Insurance Company, with head quarters in Seattle declared. He was in Fairbanks recently, in the course of a tour of the Territory for the inspection of agencies.
 The New York Life wrote pol cies aggregating $1,500,00O in Al aska last year" Mir. Dowell said. 'The company's production of business last year in this terri tory was $26l2 per capita, the highest per capita recorded by the company in any district in the States or American posses sions. The next highest was SIS in Northern California.
 "The New York Life pioneer ed the life-insurance business in Alaska. We give special atten- ton to Alaska business because of the distance of Alaska agents from the company's head offices. Airmail and telegraph services are used for virtually all busi- ness in the North.
 The company has agents in Fairbanks, Anchorage, Nome Ju- neau, and Ketchikan, and a part time agent at Petersburg.
 This is my first trip to the Territory. My purpose of course is to familiarize myself with con ditions in the Northland.
 Needless to say I am greatly impressed with Alaska prosper ity."

BOARD CONSIDERS
 NEW SUGGESTIONS
Isolation Hospital Pro= posed as City Yard Head-
 quarters, Town House

The economy commiteee of the Board of Finance today had under study suggestion by Superintend- ent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming that the headquarters of the street and water departments be trans ferred from their present location on Bendict street to the isolation hospital on Watertown avenue. The hospital has lain idle since its con- struction.
 MT. Fleming suggestion was pre- sented to the Board of Finance yesterday by Commissioner John H. Goss, who said that such a step would enable the city to sell the present city yards site. There is plenty of room at the hospital site, he said, and only few frame sheds would have to be erected. The hos pital building itself would be used for offices.
 Another suggestion, this one by Alderman Patrick Perriello, was that the Housing Authority study the possibility of taking over the hospital and converting it into an apartment house.
 Acting Controller James P. Pur- cell recommended that when Brook side home is crowded, the overflow be cared for at the hospital.
 Board members expressed them selves in favor of resembling a prev ious vote forcing policemen to pro- vide surety bonds. Instead they may post property bonds in the amount of $500, but 1t was ruled that super numeraries as well as regulars must post the bonds.
 The economy committee received formally for study yesterday a series of recommendation by Acting Con- troller Purcell. Their adoptions, he said. would mean a saving of more than s83,000 to the city during the remainder of the year. The sav- ings would be effected largely by dismissals of city employees. The committee named Commis- sioner Qoss as its vice-chairman. He will act for the chairman. Major w. Judge. who said his business affairs will keep him extremely busy dur- ing the next few weeks.

 Several years ago the post receiv- ed the colors from the Elks and the occasion was made one of outstand- ing interest. The fact that the new ly organized Sons of the Legion have been chosen for the honors this year has again enthused the post and elaborate arrangements will be made to make this years ceremonies the most colorful in the history of the Waterbury lodge.

ITALY STOPPING
 USE OF COFFEE

Rome, May 12. UP)-Count Costanzo Ciano, president of the New Chamber of Fasces and Cor porations. announced today that no more coffee would be served at the chamber bar because of national shortage. The senate was expected to follow suit.
 Cianos action came after an ad- monition to all Fascists by Achille Starace, secretary general of the Fascist party, to reduce coffee con- sumption radically if they did not stop drinking it entirely.
 Fascists admitted that the supply of coffee was exhausted because Benito Mussolini was determined to carry out his national self-suffici- ency campaign and would not per- init any further exodus of gold for what he calls dispensable luxuries. The shortage is a severe blow to Italians. Many persons are unable to buy coffee at all. Some cafes have stopped dispensing coffee, and cof- fee bootleggers are beginning to ap- pear,

NewCensusQ Questions
To Dea|'With WAGES
And Unemployment
Query on Schooling
Extent Also Reflects
Changing Times
By the Associated Press.

Secretary of Commerce Hopkins
announced today that many Of the
1910 census questions would be de-
voted to an intensive study of unem-
ployment.
Disclosing the tentative questions
FOR the regular l0-year checkup on
the population, Mr. Hopkins said
that IL of % would deal with en-
ployment and wages.
The census taker will want to
know, for instance. how many peo-
pie were working and not working;
how long not working and why,
whether they are looking for work
their previous work experience; how
many weeks worked in the last year,
and how much earned.
These questions are all In addi-
ton to the usual queries about age.
sex, birthplace, etc. Previous CEN
suses carried sketchy questions
about occupations, but no complete
census of unemployment has been
taken before, although a voluntary
postcard count of the unemployed
was made in November, 1887.
Other Census Revisions.
The changing times are shown in
other census revisions. including for
instance, the substitution of a ques-
tlon on the extent of schooling. in
place Of the traditional simple
literacy question.
With the virtual stoppage of i'm
migration in the last 20 years, at
least 96 per cent of the people can
read and write. so question as to
school grade was reached before
formal education ended was be-
lleved q more useful index of the
Nations educational status.
Closely related to the unemploy-
ment problem will be other ques-
tions to determine how many peo-
pie have moved from one State to
another, from city to farm or vice
versa. The general unemployment
questions will be asked of persons IA
years or older.
Other new questions will aim at
better data on home ownership,
home values and rentals.
Next spring is the time for the
actual census to be made at every
door in America. but, starting Au-
gust Is, the tentative questions will
be tried out on the residents of St.
Joseph and Marshall Counties,
Ind. The test will give hints on
the training of canvassers and also
show the experts whether some of
the questions should be revised to
make answers easier.
List Of Questions.

Ny|ander Suspension
Rescinded by MI. R. B.
By the Associated Press.


The National Labor Relations
Board decided yesterday that DR..
Towne Nylander made only an "er-
ror in judgment" In an address dis
cussing the boards activities, and
rescinded his suspension as director
Of the 21st region at Los Angeles.
The board ordered DR.. Nylander
suspended while 1t investigated q
newspaper story quoting the region
al director as saying, in an address
at Inglewood. Calf, that when we
60 into a hearing the employer
hasn't got q chance"
DR.. Nylander contended what he
said was that when complaint is
actually served, the 21st regional
once does not have a scintilla of
doubt as to the employers guilt"
The board said the error was DR..
Nylander's failure to add that q
complaint was merely the first step
in action which would bring a hear
ing on the charges before a trial
examiner.
Reinstatement of DR.. Nylander
was based on findings of James E.
Brenner, professor of law at STAN
ford University.
