And a letter from the Honorable

retary of state:
“I realize time passes much faster
for me than for you and that you
may become somewhat discouraged
on account of not having heard from
me since my visit with you at the in

“I just want you to know that de
partmental duties have kept me so
busy that as yet I have not had the
opportunity to go thoroughly into
your case.
“Keep in mind that I have not for
gotten you and that I will do what I
can for you as soon as it is possible.”

How could 1 become discouraged
with people taking such an interest
in me?

Mothers, tell the kiddies that
to fly kites with wire is an ex

In case the wire on the kite
should come in contact with
the live electric wires above
the street, there is a possibil
ity that the electric current
will make a direct charge into
the child’s body.
Also, tell them that flying
kites with metal frames is a
dangerous undertaking.

“REVEALING”
YOUR
PAST
FUTURE
by Abbe’ W allace I
“YOUNGEST MENTALIST ON THE AMERICAN STAGE”
A. L.—Please tell me when I will
mary and who it will be?
Ans: Y ou. will mary a young man
that you have not met as yet. He
comes to me in the form of a bright
skinned boy someone who is in some
way connected along mechanical lin
es. You will marry in 1934 or 1935.
S. R. T.—What kind of work or what
am I best suited so as to make some
success in life, and when will I get a
job?
Ans: You could make a success on
any of the following: Barber, janitor,
undertaker or cook. You will be at
work before summer and I think this
year rather profitable.
M. B.—I had two red hens, someone
stole one of them, am I in any way
connected with the person -who got
my chickens? Also, tell me if my
brother will ever come home?
Ans: The thief who stole your red
hen certainly had a lot of crust. The
scoundrel not only stole your chick
en, but ate him as well. I gather the
impresion of hoboes, and talce it
from me, those boys really go for
chicken in a big way. Your brother
left home to look for a job and is
working at the present time in St.
Louis, Mo.
0. D.—Will my husband ever quit
drinking and running around?
Ans: I am afraid your husband likes
his liquor too much to stop for yo|
or me or anybody else. If he continu
es on with this hard drinking, his
health will be impaired and it will be
necessary for him to go to a hospit
al.
E. M. W.—My husband is good to
me and gives me everything I ask
for. but teases me and tells me he
is deeply in love with another girl.
He goes to night school, gets out at
nine and home by nine thirty. He
stays out a few hours on Sunday. Is
he cheating on me?
Ans: If every woman had a husband
as loyal and true as yours, her life
would be a paradise. You should be
ashamed of yourself for even think
rr
ing of his cheating on you. He is
true to you.
E. E. S.—Will I ever be a rich lady
after marying? Will he be an edu
cated man ? Will I ever be an educ
ated woman? I tries to learn differ
ent things at home. Kindreds and out
side people try to run under me in
anything I do. Will I overcome this?
Ans: You will never be a rich woman
although you will never live in pov
erty. I think you will be successful
in going to college, although you will
marry before you complete your
course, happily too. These people
that say things about you are just
jealous, ^so don’t pay any attention
to them.
H. B.—My husband has been sick ev
er since the first week in November,
now he is in the hospital. I cannot
get work to do and everything is go
ing down even insurance. Money is
what I need, I only has food what the
city gives me, so please let me hear
from you.
Ans: I believe4that you can find a
job through your friends and I am
happy to predict you at work some
time before summer. The warm wea
ther will also find your husband on
the road to good health. Your lucky
day is Friday. I think you will have
more success with the numbers on
that day.
G. W.—Someone is going around in
my comunity stealing benches and
chairs from the porches, is there any
way I can find out who it is?
Ans: This appears to be the pranks
of boys, they are stealing stuff for
their club house, this will stop im
mediately so don’t let it worry you.
J. S. W.—Please tell me where my
bracelet went as I can’t find it any
where? Did the party that I suspect
steal it? I believe they did.
Ans: They did not. Your bracelet is
just where you left it. Your bracelet
is in the medicine chest on the top
most shelf behind the bottle of Milk
Magnesia.

FATHER FLANAGAN’S BOYS’
HOME
Father E. J. Flanagan, founder and
driector of Father Glangagan’s Boys’
Home, delivered his annual report to
the Board of Directors of the Home
April 14th. Rising to the emergency
which exists throughout the land in
the car of homeless and abandoned
boys, Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home
cared for 304 boys from 23 different
states during the past year, accord
ing to the report.
The Home was filled to capacity
with homeless boys at all times. Ev
ery effort was made to find good
homes for the boys in order to care
for the maximum number of boys.
The report stated 128 boys were plac
ed either in relatives’ homes or in
good foster homes where they would
be well cared for.
Father Flanagan conducted an in
tensive survey of the case of each
boy. He discovered the reason for
each homeless boy coming to his
Home. If times were normal many of
these boys could have been cared for
by relatives, but few people now are
in a position to assume further res
ponsibility. Hence the boys are left
homeless and neglected to become the
prey of all the vices of a hobo life.
Father Flanagan found that 109
of his 304 boys were here because of
the death of one parent. The remain
ing parent was unable to care for the
family and earn a living for them.
Neglect followed and the boys were
admitted to the Home.
Fifty one of the boys were those
whom one parent deserted. Forty
were full orphans. Of the remaining
boys, 46 had both parents living, but
they had either become a problem, or
poverty, unemployment and disaster
had broken the home and the child
ren were turned on the world uncar
ed for. Twenty-two of the boys were
homeless because one of their par
ents was dead and the other aband
oned them.
Nine boys had foster parents but
the home had been broken or they
did not fit into it. Eight boys had
been taken from undesirable parents
whom the court did not deem fit to
care for children. Nineteen of the
boys were homeless through divorce,
where the separated parents had
either deserted the children or they
could no longer provide a home for
them.
These are the boys whom Father
Flanagan is caring for, giving them
a chance to rebuild their lives, so
they may become good citizens. They
are from 10 to 18 years of age.
Only 54 of the entire number had
been in any trouble with the courts.
This trouble ranged from truancy to
other offences which nelglected boys
are led into. Many of them needed
only a firm, kindly hand to discipline
them. The states from which the boys
came were: Nebraska. Iowa, Kansas,
North and South Dakota, Minnesota,
Missouri, Colorado, Illinois, Wiscon
sin, Michigan, Indiana, Washington,
Kentucky, Texas, Montana, Wyoming
Tennessee, California, Vermont Pen
nsylvania, New Mexico, and Arizona.
The boys were all nationalities and
religions, 188 being Catholic boys and
116 being non-Catholic.
Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home was
started in 1917 with five boys. The
Home has cared for more than 3,000
boys. It is located eleven miles west
of Omaha. The Home is supported by
the genei^il public and through wills
and bequests. It receives no assistance
from state, city, church or commun
ity chest.
Following are the members of the
Board of Directors of Father Flana
gan’s Boys’ Home to whom the report
was made:_Bishop Joseph F. Rum.

LOOKING BACK
Sex Instruction
by Videtta Ish
(for the Literary Service Bureau)
Many are the opinions as to the
how and when or the when and how,
of sex instruction. There are many
books on this subject, so I shall not
enter into the “how”, I do contend
that health, happiness and longevity
are dependent on proper instruction
given in time.
Two girls asked for an audience
with a lecturer, a man. They began
asking questions concerning personal
hygiene. Surprised, he asked, “Why
did you not ask your mothers these
questions?” One said, “I tried, but
my mother told me she was too busy
to bother with such things.” The oth
er mother had said, “This is nice talk
for you to be talking to your mother;
go get your |iind on a better subject.’
An old woman stood up in a meeting
for women and said, “I have suffered
all my life from mistakes which I
would not have made, if my mother
had eligHtened me concerning my
person and my health.
Girls have had their health ruined
because they did not know how to care
