Naples, New York CAPlTtt NEWS BiOEFLY TOLD Congress Likely To Make Changes in Social Security Act (Special to The Press-Maooffiiiaii) WASHINGTON, Dec. 9—Pos- sibl'C changes in the Social Security Act is one of the. principal subjects being discussed by administration officials and members of Congress preliminary to the opening of the first session of the 75th Congress, which will begin on January 5. ■ The feeling is quite general that the act is not sufficiently oompre- iiensive, in that it does not take in agricultural woriters, domestic ser vants and employees of educational, charitable and scientific institutions and of “instrumentalists of state and Federal governments.” The Treasury’s ruling that all banks which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora tion are instrumentalities of the government removes all bank em ployees from the provisions of the Act as it now stands. Tliere is also some talk about the possibility of eliminating the indi vidual tax on employees’ pay en velopes and providing for old age retirement benefits out of general taxation. It is not considered prob able that this will be done. It is certain, however, that the whole subject of old age pensions, either by means of individual con tributions or provisions for old age as"sistance to those in need will be one of the most actively debated questions to which the new Con gress will have to find a satisfac tory answer. S.'S.B. To Bialtimiore And in the meantime, nothing could provide a better demonstra tion of the way in which govern ment offices have made Washing ton the most crowded city in America than the fact that the Social Security board had to go to Baltimore, to find a suitable build ing to house its departments. The Board found that it was go ing to require, at the very begin ning of its work in connection with the Old Age Benefit Insurance part of its work, at least 120,000 square feet of floor space. Not that much space could be found in the Dis trict of Columbia. One hundred and 'twenty' thou sand square feet is as much as is included in a ten-story building, 100 X 120 feet in area.' Moreover, besides needing' floor space, the board found that it would have to fill that floor space with such a heavy load that nothing short of factory construction would carry it. There will be more than 50,000,- 000 individual filing cards for ready reference. This includes the original registration cards filled out by workers, and the official copies of them which -will constitute the working file. The cards alone will weigh about 250,000 pounds. llie board found a factory build ing in Baltimore with three acres of floor space; is moving into it and hopes to be ready on January 1 to begin keeping the records of the earnings of the estimated 25,- 000,000 workers who come under the Old Age Benefits provisions of the Social Security Act. Also, a record of the payment of the in come tax of one per cent of each worker’s wages and the additional payroll tax of one per cent paid by his employer. The decision of the Supreme Court by a tie vote of four to four that the New York state unemploy ment compensation law is constitu tional is held here to indicate that the unemployment insurance pro visions of the Social Security Act may also be held constitutional. Tuado Situa.tion Improves The international trade situation is reported by the State Depart ment to have been greatly improv ed since France joined with Eng land and the United States in an agreement to maintain the parity of their respective currencies by a stabilization agreement. Last week the remaining three nations which are still on the gold standard join ed this international agreement. They are Switzerland, Belgium and The Netherlands, which is Holland. One effect of this agreement in regard to currency is expected to be the working out of a means of Sweeps-Up Cotton MEMPHIS .. . Revolving brumes pull cotton from the boll whidi is then vacuumed through a large tube to a- collecting bag, is the working idea of the newest me chanical cotton picker now being introduced by its inventor, L. ^ Stukenborg. It is claimed,the machine will pick more cotton than two men. and Dick cleaner.

President Roosevelt not long ago expressed concern over what he called “hot money” coming into the United States from Europe. What he referred to was invest ments m American securities against gold credits in the United States, resulting in the holding by foreign investors of billions of dollars worth of stocks and bonds which they might suddenly take a notion to dump on the market and so de press prices abnormally. There is, of course, no way of preventing anybody an>Tvhere from .buying shares in American corpora tions. But if the other nations in this currency agreement cooperate in checking shipments of gold to this country it will be much more difficult for foreign speculators to acquire such large holdings in the American security markets as to constitute a danger to the stability of prices. Careless Management Costly to Apiarists Careless management of bees in winter often costs apiarists half the honey producing value of their colonies. Colonies which barely manage to survive the winter are so weak they can produce only small quan tities of honey in the spring and summer. Successful wintering depends largely on the condition of the colonies as they enter the winter, said C. L. Sams, State College ex tension apiarist. The colonies .should have good queens, a large number of bees, and abundant stores of honey. If good queens are introduced to the colonies in time to start lay- mg sbc to eight weeks before the first killing frost, and if the hives have plenty of honey, there will be a strong bee population at the start of the honey flow spring, Sams continued. When the honey is taken from the hives for the last time in the fall, care should be exercised not to take too much. Single story colonies should havr the combs three-fourths full of honey and two-story colonies should have the food filled completely. In case the bees run their natural food, feed next chambers short of them a syrup made up of two parts granu lated sugar to one part of water. Each colony should be fed enough to bring the food stores up to ^ or 50 pounds, Sams pointed out. Kingfisher birds kill snakes. Marihuana is a dangerous drug. U. S. has 4;5 persons per family.
