Security Unit Uses Phonetics InFiling of 27, By the Assoclated Press. ‘The Soclal Security Board, which has to keep track of 27,000,000 names, came out today with a filing system that can put the Nation's best spellers to shame. The board, setting up the wage records of the people who register for old-age benefits, ran afoul of a flock of family names that sound alike, but are spelled differently. Baer, for instance, has 36 variations. Snyder has 29, Bailey 22, Burke 22, Lehman 18 and Kelly 14. Wrestling with the Baers, the harassed Federal workers discovered these varieties: Baar, Baare, Baear, Baere, Baiar, Baler, Bair, Baire, Bayre, Bairr, Bare, Baehr, Bahr, Baehre, Bahar, Baehoar, Bahor, Bayor, Bayer, Bayeur, Bear, Beer, Beere, Beier, Beare, Beair, Beaire, Beir, Beirr, Bere, Beahr, Beaher, Beher, Beyar and Beyer, ‘Whew! Statisticians then figured out a super-phonetic system which as- sembles at one point in & huge master 000,000 Names file all names that sound similar, but are spelled differently. As a double check, the Government then worked out a numerical file, which keeps the pension plan partici- pants together by numbers. By June 30, every employer in com- merce and industry is required to make certain his employes have ac- count numbers, for he has to report to the Treasury on wages paid since January 1. If the emplgye can't spell his name, the board says that makes no difference—get him to pronounce it and send what it sounds like to Wash- ington. The super-speller will file it. Meanest Individual. LINCOLN, Nebr. (#)—Who is the meanest individual in the world? Many residents here agree he is the .person who shot Spitz, a white Spitz dog that devoted his life to leading his blind mistress, Mrs. W. D. Ban- croft. Spitz lived for a week, but Mrs. Bancroft, unwilling to have the dog suffer any longer, ordered him killed. DECORATORS MEET Local Chapter of Institute Hears Reports of Sessions. The Washington-Baltimore Chap- ter of the American Institute of Dec- orators held its bimonthly meeting last night at the Parrot Restaurant, hearing reports of the inatitute’s meeting last month in Williamsburg, Va, and of the Chicago and Grand Rapids, Mich,, furniture shows. Miss Genevieve Hendricks, Wash- ington decorator, discussed new an- gles in furniture decoration exhibited in Chicago, and Louis Schwarz of Baltimore told of the Grand Rapids exhibits.
