This is the third In a series
OF sir articles on the ertermin1-
ton OF insect pests)
OF all the insects that poster us,
mosquitoes are the worst tormentors.
They cause much suffering in the
summertime and some species are
actually dangerous because they
transmit malaria. When the pres
ence of mosquitoes in your bedroom
precludes good nights rest, spray
the room before retiring, following
the same procedure as suggested for
getting rid of flies. If they take the
joy out of sitting on your porch or
spoil your fun on a picnic, spray
your feet, the back of your neck,
and your clothing lightly, and the
mosquitoes will leave you alone for
some time. At lawn parties, it's
good idea to wrap the legs of tables
with paper and spray this covering
with insecticide. Modern household
sprays also kill spiders, thousand
leggers, wasps, ants and other in
sects that may disturb your outdoor
meal.
The mere mention of a cockroach
may be taboo in polite society, but
there's no sense in pussy-footing
around the subject in this practical
discussion of household pests. Cock
reaches constitute a problem that
has to be faced squarely for they
have way of turning up sometimes
in the best-regulated kitchens, con-
taminating food and dishes and
everything they touch. Scientists
believe that they are probably car
riers of the germs of many human
diseases. When numerous, cock
reaches not only feed on most
edibles that are within their reach,
but attack leather upholstery, shoes,
book bindings and parchment. Be-
cause of their fiat bodies, they are
able to take cover in convenient and
small cracks and consequently may
be present in numbers unsuspected
by the housewife. Go after them
IN such spots, directing a good
liquid insecticide into crevices at

Information On
SociuI Security

The Social Security Board is now
giving workers a statement of their
wage records, on which future pay
ments will be made under the old-age
and survivors insurance program.
These statements may be obtained
without charge, except one cent for
postage, through the Youngstown,
Ohio field office of the Social Security
Board. The procedure to be followed
was explained today by Glenn H. Pit
tenger, manager of the Youngstown
office, who said:
"We have post cards which any
worker may use to obtain a statement
Of the wages which was credited to
his social security account during the
years, 1897, 1888 and 1889. If any
wages which the worker has earned
in jobs covered by the Social Sc
curity Act do not appear on the state
ment, study of the record will be
made and steps token to adjust it.
GAS all monthly payments under the
amended Social Security Act are
based on average wages it is important
that all earnings of insured workers
be credited to their accounts. That is
why we suggest that these statements
be obtained at this time. 1t takes only
a few seconds to fill out the cards,
which may be obtained by personal or
telephone calls to our office in the
Erie Terminal Building, or through
mail requests" Mr.. Pittenger said.

USHALoses Little
In Delinquencies
Vacancies And Collection
Losses Amount To
lH2 Per Cent

Washington, d. C.-Rent delinquen-
cies in 49 public housing projects in
the United States Housing Authority
program have amounted to but four
tenths Of / per cent, with vacancy
losses of only about nine-tenths of /
per cent, over a period of more than
two years.
This total of less than 112 per cent
loss - including vacancies, collection
losses and slow accounts-was cited by
Administrator Nathan Straus today
as evidence of the effectiveness with
which these projects are being man.
aged by Local Housing Authorities
under the USHA's decentralized pro-
gram. Forty of the AZ projects,
which were built by the PWA Hous-
ing Division and transferred to the
USHA for administration in 1897
have been leased to Local Housing
Authorities and the remaining nine
are operated by housing managers ap-
pointed by the USHA.
Mr.. Straus contrasted the 112 per
cent delinquency loss of the USHA
projects with the fact that the aver
age operator of privately owned rem
tai properties seldom allows less than
per cent for such losses, which often
range as high as 10 per cent. This,
he said, indicates not only that the
rents of the projects are within the
means of the tenants, but also that
the occupants desire to retain their
tenancy.
The 40 projects included in the sum-
mary of rents and collections as of
June 80, 1910, issued by the USHA
today, are located in 80 communities
in 20 states, the District of Columbia
and the Virgin Islands. The first was
opened for occupancy in the summer
of 1886 and all were tenanted by the
latter part Of 1888. Their tenants now
number approximately LOCO families
or about 10000 persons.
Rents charged in the 40 projects
from the date of opening to June 80
amounted to S14,414, 1868 with delin-
quencies totaling S57,6S7, or four
tenths of l per cent The portion of
these delinquencies actually charged
off as uncollectible was $1S,1S2, or
less than two-tenths of l per cent of
the total rents charged.
The rents charged after the end of
the initial operating periods-when
tenants were being selected-amounted
to $12,726,099 Vacancy losses for the
same period totaled $115,516, or nine
tenths of l per cent.

1t is a striking fact that when Rus
sian Communism first announced its
program to the world, scores Of the
most outstanding business corporations
in the United State declared that
there was nothing to be alarmed
about-that the Communists were
simply working out great expert
ment."
While this was going on, Organized
Labor was having it own experiences
with Communism in the United States
It's affiliated national organizations, its
State and Central Labor Bodies were
battling against the inroads being
made upon their membership by snip
ing agitators, who were being financed
in large measure by Soviet funds. The
representatives of Industry and FL
nance who endorsed or condoned
Communism-made serious blunder,
but Organized Labor has stood stead
fastly for the principles Of American
Democracy.
Organized Labor similarly opposed
Fascism and NaZism with their pro-
grams of tyranny and oppression, and
it has been vindicated in it's position
with respect to these forms of gov
ernment and their leaders. The rest
of the country has finally come to the
position which Organized Labor had
long ago taken. ! recall the action
taken against even milder form of
radicalism at the first convention of
the A. F. of L. which ! attended as
a fraternal delegate thirty-six years
ago, and at later conventions of other
labor Bodies.
Why should Organized Labor have
taken this position on economic and
political issues, when others who were
assumed to be wiser and more states
manlike stood for PHILOSOPHERS which
have proven themselves totally made
quate? Because Organized Labor has
always been vehemently opposed to the
outrageous cruelties practiced upon
helpless people by the rulers Of to-
talitarian governments; because Or
ganized Labor instinctively believes
in freedom from oppression and des-

Voice Quality
Demonstrated
Donald Dickson's
Concert Pleoses

They had heard him 20 Otter
over the air that they thought
they knew him. but II was q DIFF
ferent Donald Dickson with whom
the audience became acquainted in
the first number Of the All-Star
Concert series at the Temple
theater Wednesday night.
Obviously the new acquaintance
vas 10 the advantage Of both
singer and audience. Few con-
cert singers in Tacoma have re.
ceived a greater popular ovation.
Few singers have responded -
generously with encores. What
helped bring singer and audience
together was the large proportion
OF understandable English In the
program.
Splendid Quality
Voice quality-purity and depth
Of tone, placement. enunciation,
range and volume-was demon
strated with the first number. an
aria from the Verdi opera, Don
Carlos"
Just as pleasing was the lyrical
Schubert group which followed.
and the dramatic. Ballard of the
Duel" from the opera "cyrano de
Bergersc." Versatility of the
singer was expressed in the
final group of four spirituals. 1t
was one Of those occasions where
a Tacoma concert singer not OF the
colored race was able to put the
fundamental plaintiveness and sin
cerity into a Negro spiritual.
Many Encores
For his encores - there were
six after the last number on the
progrsm-Mr. Dickson included
such fevorites as Mozart's "Sere-
made" Il Heard a Forest Pray"
and dipped into opera. including
Gershwin's Negro folk work.
"Porgy and Bess." and climaxed
his presentation with the prologue
from Leoncavello's opera Il Pag-
hacci."
Contributing very much to the
pleasure OF the audience was the
work of the accompanied. William
Hughes. 1t was one of those
concert set-ups where accompanies
and singer seem to complement
each other. In his solo numbers
there was studious technique and
artistry which combined to pro-
duce that singing" tone which
makes the piano something more
than a mechanical instrument.
