(For advice write to Maxie Miller care The Literary Service Bureau 51S | Minnesota Avenue Kansas City Kan sas. For personal reply send self ad dressed stajnped envelope.) Maxie Miller: I am, bringing you a problem which to me is serious and embarrassing. I am married and be cause of lack of means I am com pelled to live at home with my par ents. But we are cramped. My moth er is all right but my father is a dif ficult proposition. He doesn’t smoke and doesn’t like for my husband to smoke in the house and when we have company I’m always afraid he will explode about smoking in the1 house. Another thing we can’t have any social affairs at our home because father objects cards cigarettes and a little harmless dancing. And he in sists that we should not allow our company to remain late and disturb his rest. I wonder if you can advise some way to bring father up to date so things will be better for us. Mag gie Maggie: My sympathy is more with your father than with you. He has his ideals and has the right to have them and practice them- He has worked hard for his home and has the right to enjoy it without the an noyances you young people give. His views ar.d his ideas of conventions are well founded. My advice is that you'll not try to change your father but that you will conform to his standards or MOVE. Most young people are both unfair and unreason able in such cases as yours but they are wrong. However prevalent may be the custom of coercing and humil iating parents it is wrong. Again I advise conform or move—Maxie Mil ler COTTON CLUB FLOOR SHOW Reservation list for the premiere of the new floor show at the Cotton Club in Harlem on Sunday night al ready is crowded.

G. Bearer (For The Literary Service Bureau) ! Text: Give us this day our daily | bread—atbhew 6:11 The lesson of this petition is three | fold. It presents the following: 1- The Dependence of Man. Of ten people are won’t to boast inde pendence but it is p f.b ..pet- m- ' The richest man in the v. oi .d -is de pendent on the lhany who supply h's dqily needs- Especially is he as well as all others dependent on God- God’s | sunshine and rain make food pos j sible. God’s oxygen laden air an God’s abundant water give him life. He may call this the work of nature but God is the God of nature. | 2- God’s Bounteous Provision. Be cause of his helplessness and his . utter dependence God delights to supply to man freely and fully what ever he needs for physical susten ance and man is so constituted that this must be done daily. 3. The Spirit of It All. Jesus Christ was expressing and emphas izing the spirit in which man should make his necessities and his desires kr: .v.n. II '■ n. . to make arrogant demands. He : not to plead any rights or claims* Cut r.s an earthl)> child would do he is to go humbly yet with confidence to his own heavenly Father and ask for daiy bread- And we have the wTord of Jesus “Ask and it shall be given ” The Father will give more than physical sustenance. He will g'^e constantly and unstintingly of Hie Bread of Life that comes down from heaven and which satisfies and sus tains the soul I)R.
