Interest Improves
AtLUl24 Meetinq
Cooler Weuther Expected to
Drew Better Crowds on,
Tuesdays

1t has been several weeks since Lo-
cal Union No. 124 has reported in the
Herald, but now that the cooler
weather has arrived, there should be
a better attendance at the meetings,
making them more interesting. The
meetings have been short and snappy
so everyone should put aside Tuesday
evening and attend local, if for no
other reason than to see just what is
going on outside your own shop.
Decorating Kilnmen were asked to
attend special meeting last Tuesday
night. Evidently the notice was not
strong enough or just lack of inter-
est on the Kilnmen's part. All should
attend local when there are matters
Of Importance to their trade being
brought up for discussion.
Sorry to report that Sisters Evelyn
Ludwig and Grace Reed are in the
hospital recovering from operations.
We wish them speedy recovery.
Don't forget everyone try and get
out to the next meeting September
18.-O. C. 124.

Sociul Security

Editors note: This is the first of a
series of questions and answers re-
garding the amendments to the Social
Security Act recently enacted by the
Congress and signed by the President.
Other questions and answers will be
given from time to time. Personal
questions concerning any phase of
social security may be sent to the
Youngstown field office of the Social
Security Board. They will be answer
ed either in this column or through a
personal letter. Address questions to
Mr.. Edwin V. Faulhaber, manager,
Social Security Office, Erie Terminal
Building, Youngstown, Ohio.
Question: How was the original So
cial Security Act, adopted in 1885, re-
vised?
Answer: Through action taken in
the closing hours of the recent session
of the Congress. The President sign
ed this new legislation on August 10,
making it the law of the land.
Question: What are the principal
features of the amendments?

insurance program. They reduce the
tax for old-age insurance. They make

On a day last week when the tenn
perature was down and coat felt
good, who should walk into the office
to bum load of tobacco for his cal
abash, but Dr. C. Mortimer Crumbly
doctor Of Athletic Statistics).
He was in rather jovial mood after
using about fourth of pound-can
of our best mixture to fill his favorite
bumming pipe, so he told US 1889
looked to be banner year in football.
We reminded him that the baseball
season was still in full swing and We
had National League race to decide
in addition to a World Series before
we could get all steamed up about the
college boys on the gridiron.
The good Doctor rather poo-pooed
our baseball talk with the statement
that the Yanks were World Champs
and intended to keep the title in not
more than five games. He was little
undecided on the opposition, however.
A team that has been in the lead as
long as the Reds are bound to be ready
to crack, said he, but he thought st.
Louis might get few jitters before
the end Of the season, too. Whichever
team wins, according to the doctor, it
will give better account of itself than
did the sorry looking Cubs Of a year
ago.
Returning to football, our friend
told US we could look for outstanding
teams in every section. For the first
time in ten or more years Pitt will
not be the East's strongest team. A
neighbor, however, has every chance
to establish itself as the country's out
standing club. Carnegie Tech is only
lacking in plenty Of reserves to place
it along side of Fordham and ahead
of Holy Cross as the standard bearer
for the East. The schedule is not too
well spaced, having four pushovers to
open the season and then Notre Dame,
Pittsburgh, Holy Cross and Duquesne
for the last half.
Fordham, seemingly, has every
thing, including a good schedule. If
the Rams can go through Alabama,
Tulane, Pitt, Rice, Indiana and st.
Mary's, no one will doubt the great
ness of the club. With Len Eshmont
as good as ever and a sophomore SEN
sation to help him out, Blumenstock,
Crowley has no backfield worries
whatever. The Rams are anxious for
chance at the Rose Bowl and may
get it.
Holy Cross has everything needed
in the way of material to keep up the

it possible for the States to increase
aid which they are giving the needy
aged, the blind and dependent child
rem.
Question: When do the amendments
become effective?
Answer: On different dates but
mainly on January l, 1910, particular
ly those relating to old-age insurance.
A few, relating to the administration
of unemployment compensation and
public assistance, do not become ef-
fective until July /, 1941.
Question: To how many more per-
sons will the amendments extend the
benefits of the social security program
in 1910.
Answer: 1t has been estimated that
100000 additional workers will be
covered in 1910 by the amendments to
the old-age insurance plan.
Question: What will the additional
federal cost be?
Answer: 1t has been estimated the
additional cost will be about 60,00O,-
900 a year. There will also be ex-
pended about $6S,0O0,000 additional
in 1910 under old-age insurance and
survivor insurance plans.
Question: Is there provision for
further study looking toward con-
tinued development in nationwide So
cial security?
Answer: Yes, research of the Social
Security Board is continuing as pro-
vided in the original Social Security
Act. The committee on economic Sc
curity will continue it's studies and
both groups will be constantly on the
alert to find ways and means of ex-
tending and strengthening the pro-
gram.
Another set of questions and
answers will appear in an early issue.

RESPECTFULLY DECLINED

The pastor Of suburban church
made it a point to welcome strangers
in the most cordial manner, and, there
fore, after the completion of the serv-
ices, always hurried down the aisle to
station himself near the door.
One Sunday evening Swedish girl,
who was employed in one of the
aristocratic homes Of that section, had
attended services, and when ready to
leave the edifice was addressed by the
minister, who, noting that she was
a stranger, extended his hand.
He welcomed her to the church and
expressed the hope that she would
find it convenient to come again, add
ing that if she would be at home some
evening during the week, he would be
pleased to call.
"T'ank you," she murmured, "but
Ay have fella."

New York City Loses
81 Projects On P. w. A
Failure of Congress to Appropriate
Funds Deprives Employment
to Thousands

The lack of employment for thous-
ands of workers caused by the refusal
of the last session Of Congress to
make appropriations for the continu-
ance of Public Works Administration
projects is strikingly revealed in the
action of John M. Carmody, Federal
Works Administrator, in returning to
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia Of New York
City requests for Public Works Ad-
ministration funds for thirty-ons ma
jor public improvements in the
Nations metropolis totaling more than
$135,OO0,0O0 in construction costs.
In announcing the rejection of the
requests Mayor LaGuardia was told
by Mr.. Carmody that inasmuch as
Congress adjourned without taking
any action which would authorize the
P. w. A. to make further allotments,
there was nothing that could be done
at this time regarding the applica-
tions.
In commenting on the rejection of
the application, Col. M. E. Gilmore,
regional P. w. A. director in New
York City, said: "The construction in
volved in these projects represents a
vast we'll Of work for men in the build
ing trades, unskilled workers and the
men employed in manufacturing and
transportation of needed materials" "
He expressed the hope that some way
would be found to finance the projects
with private funds.

EFFICIENCY

The department store engaged an
efficiency expert, whose obsession was
to move the departments to different
parts of the store every day. One day
a section would be on the top floor,
the next it would be in the basement,
and on the third it would be placed
where the restaurant had been.
After three weeks of this an old
lady approached a harrassed floor
walker and asked him if he could tell
her where the draperies department
was.
"No, madam" he said, wearily;
"but if you'll stand here for a few
minutes Pm sure you'll see it go byn'

of the dead animal were put when it
was brought out that the flesh was

GENE MAKO FAILS
 CLINCH BERTH
Californian Unable to Gain Place on U. s. Davis
 Cup Team

Philadelphia, Aug. 28-CUP)-The U. s. Davis Cup doubles assignment was still mystery today after nam- ing of the four-man team by Capt. Walter Pate, but the eperts were betting txhat it would be Frankie Parker and Joe Hunt against the Australian Tandem next weekend.
 In addition to Parker and Hunt. Capt Pate named Bobby Riggs and youthful Jack Kramer to defend the cup in the challenge round begin- ming Saturday. Gene Mako, the big blond Californian who used to team with Don Budge, failed to make the team for the first time since 1886.
 It will be Riggs and Parker in the singles against Jack Bromwich and Odrian Quist. This will leave Kra- mer and Hunt available for doubles If the U. s. cup committee de- cides it will be too much of task to beat the Bromwich-Quist com bination, and concentrates on win- ming three of the four singles matches.
 Averaging 20 1-2 years, the cup team is the youngest ever to rep resent the United States. Riggs, 2l, and Parker, g, have contributed American victories in previous cup competition. Hunt, 20, was a mem Der of last years cup squad, al- though he did not get to play, and Kramer. 18, is without previous cup experience.
 The doubles team will not be known for 8 certainty until the of- ficial draw at 10:45 a. m. Friday.

WICHTMAN CUP
 RETURNS HERE
U. s. Dominates Play By Downing Great Bri-
 tain Handily
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Aug. 28-(UP)-The Wiehtman Cup, emblem of Anglo American Women's tennis suprem- acy, was returned to its home today in a fifth avenue jewellers vault, where it had rested for almost a decade.
 From the way the United States won the 17th annual battle for it Saturday and yesterday out in For est Hills, 1t looks as though many, many more years might pass before the cup takes an ocean trip.
 The final count was America 5; Great Britain 2-tfie ninth consecu- tive victory for our beauties and their 13th triumph.
 The heroineS of this series were couple of cup veterans, Alice Mar ble, all England and American champion, and Helen Jacobs, cham pion Wightman veteran of 'em all.
 When the firing was over Satur- day night, the United States was on top, 2-1, in the best-of-seven match series. But in the first match yes- terday alerie Scott, 21-year- old debutante to Wightman play, scored 8 surprising 6-3, 6-4, victory over Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, nation- ally ranked at No. behind Miss Marble.
 That triumph squared the series. Miss Marble was next on the court, against left-handed Kay Stammers who defeated Alice last year at Wimbledon in this same series. Miss Marble hasn't lost major match since then, but for time it looked as if her number was up.
 Miss Stammers used power and more power to win the first set 6-3, for six games, in the second set Miss Stammers fought Miss Marble on even terms but finally yielded, 6-3. In the final set Miss Marbles fine assortment of strokes tol dthe story as the English girl tired badly and lost, 6-4.
 That gave Miss Jacobs a chance to score the deciding victory. Helen has played on 13 Wightman cup teams now and won 19 out of 31 starts, the last being the 6-2, 6-2 victory she scored yesterday over Mary Hardwick.
 The last match, a doubles en- counter, thus was reduced to an ex- hibition, but the American team of Miss Marble and Mrs. Fabyan hadn't lost doubles engagement in three years, so, after trailing 5-2 in the opening set, they opened up their big guns and defeated Miss Stammers and Mrs. Freda James Hammersley, 7-5, 6-2.
