Social Security
Bookkeeping Is
By Big Machine
(Continued From Page One)
26,000,000 is punched full of hol
es. By feei.ng these perforations,
machines sort the cards alphabet
ically and by age, sex and color
of the persons they represent.
Fifty-five machines sort $600,000
cards a day.
-Machines Almost Think
Other machines can produce
duplicate cards or translate the
punch-hole information into print.
Still another sets up ledger sheets
for keeping "box scores" on in
dividual earn in gs to be posted
every three months.
On the social security records
are thousands of John Smiths.
But the account of any registered
John Smith can be found almost
immediately by these “thinking
machines.“
If John loses his old age pen
sion card and wants to know his
account number, it can be learn
ed in a jiffy by referring to the
rotary alphabetical! index. The
Smihts, and others, are indexed
alphabetically and by first nam
es and age groupings.
Battalions of error catchers
back up the machines. These
clerks check and double check
the records so that when John
Smith is 65 the government will
know how much is due him in
monthly oid age payments and
where to send his check.

Do You Know
Why You Feel
Kind of Dopey?
i
(By Trie Associated Press)
AMES. Ia., (AP)—Have you
ever felt “tired and dopey” after
i eating a heavy dinner?
The reasofi, says Earl C. Mc
Cracken, Iowa State College bio
physicist. isn't because your
blood rushes to your stomach af
ter you've eaten.
"As a matter of fact,” he ex
plained, “the brain gets more
hood than it ordinarily does, for
circulation is speeded up greatly
following a meal.”
He said scientists don't know
just what causes the "brain fag”
in spite of the facts physiologists
for many years maintained it was
caused by blood rushing to the
stomach.
McCracken added that tests he
conducted recently upon dogs
showed conclusively "circulation
j to every part'of the body is
speeded up greatly during diges
tion."

REGULATIONS IN CONNECTION
WITH LIQUOR REVENUE STRIP
I TAX STAMPS.
i
—
RETAIL DEALERS
I I
All hard and distilled liquor, beer and wine in the Territory of
Alaska on June 30, 1937, must be stamped with the Territorial "Tax
Paid” stamps, thus showing the purchase of liquor before July 1,
1937. These stamps must be placed on all bottles of hard and dis
tilled liquors, also, on beer cases, cartons and kegs and on wine
cases, cartons and kegs. Stamps will be furnished free of cost to all
retail liquor dealers by the Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamp Col
lector in each community. On or after July 1, 1937, all liquor im
mediately upon receipt by retail dealers shall be stamped with the
regular Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamps same to be purchased from
the Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamp Collector who has been ap
pointed in your community.
WHOLESALE DEALERS
Wholesalers in the Territory of Alaska on June 30. 1937, must
take inventory of their stock of all liquors on hand and must pay
the Territorial Treasurer at the rate of 5% of invoice price which
will then be stamped with “Tax Paid” stamps. These stamps, also,
I will be furnished free of cost to all wholesale liquor dealers by the
Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamp Collector in each community.
I For all hard and distilled liquor, beer and wine received on or after
July 1, 1937, by wholesalers in the Territory of Alaska, the regular
Strip Tax Stamps must be used in the following manner: The
regular Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamps must be placed on each
case, carton and keg of beer, also, each case, carton, keg of wine.
In regards to hard and distilled liquor, where it is inconvenient to
! open cases, an exception will be made for the convenience of whole
salers. Upon receipt of liquor, the stamps will be purchased in the
regular manner but may be delivered in person or by mail to retail!
dealers for them to place upon the individual bottles.
It will be seen, from the above regulations, no hard and dis
tilled liquor, beer or wine may be sold in the Territory of Alaska
on or after July 1, 1937, without showing either the "Tax Paid” |
j stamps or the regular “Liquor Revenue Strip Tax Stamps.” In the;
j larger incorporated towns, special agents have been appointed to;
handle the sale of the tax stamps. In the outlying communities, |
the U. S. Commissioners have been appointed to handle the sale of
the tax stamps.
The above regulations have been made necessary in observing
Chapter 78, Session Laws of Alaska, 1937. Section 7 of this Chapter
in part reads as follows: "Every brewer, distiller, bottler, or
wholesaler selling intoxicating liquors in the Territory shall be re
quired to pay on all malt beverages (alcoholic content of one per
cent or more by volume), wines and hard or distilled liquors, the
following prescribed taxes: malt beverages at the rate of five cents
per gallon OR FRACTION THEREOF; wine, or any other liquors
of nineteen per cent of alcohol by volume or less, at the rate of
fifteen cents per gallon OR FRACTION THEREOF; any other liqu
ors having a content of more than nineteen per cent of alcohol by
volume shall pay at the rate of fifty cents per gallon. This tax is
to be paid to the Territorial Treasurer who will furnish Strip Tax I
Stamps in the form prescribed by him to be attached to all liquor
containers or packages. These stamps are to be attached by the
brewer, distiller, bottler, wholesaler or importer into whose hands
the liquor shall first come. The Treasurer of the Territory shall |
designate places of sale of Territorial Revenue Stamps in such a !
way that they will be easilv procurable by all license holders.”
