The Red Typewriter Ribbon

Dear Mrs. Post: Do you think.
IL a business letter Is marked at
the top for the attention OF some
one person in the company. that II
is in bad taste TO use the red
ribbon on the typewriter for this
line?
Answer: In any case il is quite
all right. In an office that re-
ceiyes a great deal of mail. It's
use would be explained by its
being more easily seen. and there
fore quickly delivered. But in a
very small office. and where the
mail is not likely to be heavy. the
matching ink Is more conservative.

REAU OF RESEARCH AND

JACKSONVILLE, Aug. o.
Publications prepared by the
WPA Florida Historical Records
Survey are proving helpful in
the establishment of claims IN
der the provisions of the Bureau
of Old Age and Survivors Insur-
ance of the Social Security Board,
as well as a source of data to the
Boards Bureau of Research and
Statistics, according TO State Ad-
ministrator Roy Schroeder.
Correspondence received from
John ]. CorSon, director OF the
Bureau of Old Age and Survivors
Insurance, points out the fact
that Florida did not adopt state
registration law until 1899 and
did not become a part of the birth
registration area until 1924 As
a result many native-born Flori-
dams coming under the Social
Security program must rely upon
secondary evidence. such as GER
tificates of baptism, to prove
dates of birth.
Two publications of the WPA

vey-''Guide to DepoSitories of

OBy Associated PressD

(By Associated PressD
LONDON. Aug. 22.-For the
fourth day in a row the British
looked across the English channel
for signs of impending invasion
by the Nazis. and again hopes
were raised when there appeared
10 be no concentrations of men
and machines that indicated
Hitler was planning anything of
that nature for the immediate
future.
And for the fifth day, the Nazi
air forces demonstrated the proof
of their statements made pre-
vlouSly that they were enforcing
as rigorous blockade as possible
of Britain when airplaneS again
appeared off the coast of Ireland
and dropped bombs on shipping.
Eye witness accounts of Big
Bertha cannonading of the
British southeast coast were
turned in here this morning.
The lOng-range guns were
aimed primarily at a British con-
voy steaming into the port of
Dover. This is the first time
that the Germans have employed
this form of attack on British
shipping, although, results as de-
Scribed by witnesses, were not at
all effective.
When the first shells fell near
the convoy, British destroyerS
and small vessels Immediately
swarmed in circles around the
ships and laid down a smoke
screen. Then, when Nazi OBJ
server planes attempted to get
accurate range for their big guns

ported various airraidS last night

The Dies Committee has singled

ceeded very slowly in exposing out
spoken Fascist organizations In the
course of this policy. the Dies Com
mittee has in certain specific in
stances miSuSed the Communist
label to slander labor and co-opera-

mittee has thus exposed itself as
an outright enemy of labor and

The convention stated its gen.

The best of what goes by the
New Deal name. social insurance,

Dying Capitalism.
But these things, for reasons
that the Socialists have always pro-
claimed, have not averated the ills
of dying capitalism or given any
assurance that out of its failure
we shall not get the slavery of State
capitalism under Fascist or total
itarian government.
The Democrats as party have
never accepted the New Deal, and
the New Deal administration itself
has turned from its failure to con-
Quer poverty at home to armament
economics and the hope of war
trade profits.
Under these circumstances Demo-
cratic socialism becomes an immedi-
