The first requisite for friend

abasement and subordination
Engels, who is the co-deviser of
modern communism, wrote
much of what is credited to
Marx, but be had made the
pages of history only as a
postscript to his friend. Engels
supported Marx when Karl
would not seek a job, and he
kept the Marx family rent paid
when Karl was i'll.
These two men shook the
world. 1t Is still shaking. Their

workers tproletariat) by pay

From this. Marx concluded
that all history is a struggle
between classes Of people. Capt.

itself. He said that the world
was sick and that the prolet-

capitalism. He felt that true

In 1851, Jenny turned against
Karl. 1t was bad enough to be
dispossessed from one nation

be dispossessed from their little

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

BALLET: Some years ago
Choreographer George Balan-
chine was engaged by the Ring
ling Bros. circus to stage a
ballet for the elephants.
Balanchine asked Composer
Igor Stravinsky to write the
music.
Write music for elephants"
screamed Stravinsky. Who
ever heard of writing music for
such enormous. colossal beasts?"
You don't understand, Igor. "
explained Balanchine. They're
not enormous. AS a matter OF
fact, they're very small ele-
plants"
Stravinsky thought this over.
Then he said:
We'll, maybe for small ele-
plants l could write some
thing"
Alo ne dl0.
CAUTION: Lefty Gomez. ace
pitcher for the New York
Yankees some seasons back,
was the clubs worst hitter.
One afternoon, to his de-
light, he managed TO squeeze
out a base hit. A moment later
the batter behind him lined a
single to right and Lefty ad-
vanced to third.
He could scarcely contain his
elation. He turned TO the third
base coach and said
rs it all right If I try to
steal home?"
Not on your life" said the
coach. 1T took you 10 years
to get to third base. Don't

Bv RAY HENRY
Associated Press star Writer

From F. G. of Waukegan. Ill.
My wife worked as a hair
dresser until about five weeks
ago when she had a heart at
tack and passed away. We had
two children, age 8 and 10
whom I'm now supporting. Is
1t possible for the children
to collect any Social Security
Yes, if your wife worked for
at least half of the three years
before her death. they can col
lect Social Security payments
until they reach l8. The fact
that you're working doesn't
make any difference.
From Mrs. H. NJ. of St
Petersburg, Fla: Il had a So
cial Security number before ]
was married. but that was nine
years ago. Since then. I've lost
my card and have no record
of my number. How can l find
out what my number is?"
Any Social Security office
will get the number for you.
While you're at 1t. you also
should ask to have your num-
Der changed from your maiden
name to your married name.
From W. ID. of Mitchell, Sd:
Gould you tell me how many
people are now drawing Social
Security payments?"
The total is something over
IL million.
From Mrs. b. y. of Washing
ton, ID. c.: My unmarried
brother who was the sole sup
port of our widowed mother was
killed on a construction job last
month. His job was covered by
social security. Since our mother
is only so she can't apply for
parents dependency benefits
now Is there anything she
should do now in connection
with her claim for future social
security payments"
Yes. your mother should file
within two years after the date
Of your brothers death to estab-
lish that she was a dependent
parent.
From VI. NJ. of Council Bluffs,
Iowa: MY mother is So years
old and is an invalid. My
father died year ago and my
mother received a lump sum
death payment of S255. Is there
any way for her TO collect

Monthly payments are paid
only "a to widows age 81 or

The father of communism
died rs years ago. This is the
diamond jubilee of his demise
His name was Karl Marx and
he looked like Moses. He re-
garded himself as an economic
messiah come to save the people
of the world from the greed Of
the few. Capitalism. he said, is
pregnant with the world OF
communism.
He was a sick and angry
man. The back of his neck was
lumpy with carbuncles and
much of his time was spent in
illness. He was born in Ger
many Of a middle-class Jewish
family who became Christians.
He deserted them and deserted
both faiths. Herr Marx grew
UP to be one of the worlds fore
most opponents of the rationale
he wanted to be able to I'M
derstand and explain every
thing by reason. He had faith
in nothing.
Karl was born at Trier on
May S, 1918. He studied law at
Bonn and attended the Uni
versity of Berlin. He was in
telligent. truculent, impatient.
He worked passionately, indie
fatigably, for the causes in
which he believed. One OF the
things he believed was that the
workers Of the world were being
exploited by the capitalists.
Somehow. between fights with
illness and entrenched wealth,
he fell in love with Jenny
daughter Of the Baron Won
Westphalen. Everyone. it
seemed. opposed the marriage.
Marx married Jenny and wrote
to a friend: Il can assure you
without any sentimentality
that l am in love from head to
foot and in all seriousness"

head and full grazing beard.
He was naughty and contempt

he called these the midwife"
In 1881, Jenny died after
fighting cancer for years. Kari
was trying to write the second
volume of "Das Kapital" and
was living on $l,700 a year
given to him by Friedrich En-
gels. The father of communism
was so sick with pleurisy that
he could not attend the funeral
of his wife.
He lived two more years and

In your treasure hunting
among books about the Amerl-

words to keep in mind, among
them California" Oregon, '

are golden words to the book

larly because they were centers

emigrants in the 10Th century.
Valuable books abound among
the extensive lists that deal

booklet dealing with the gold

ciples" No matter where this
couple decides to locate. they

maintain their own standards
and associate with those who
share such standards.
A compromise solution might
be this: Eunice and Otto
should give their present COM
munity another try for a def
mite period. They should form
church ties and do all they can
to strengthen their marriage
and their ideals. and to find
worthwhile friends. II. at the
end OF such a period. Eunice

influences. a move may be in
