lady means and is what she says j
true or what?
Ans: Its just another ease of a
JEALOUS WOMAN- Pay no atten
tion to her tales for her type is gen
erally called BLABBERMOUTHS.
F- S- C—Will I get any of the jobs
I have in view?
Ans: Your desire to stand on your
own feet without anybody’s charity
will be granted I believe you will
contact the FOUNDRY JOB and I
predict you getting along nicely this
summer. Don’t expect anything
from the RAILROAD JOB in the
west, it will turn out to be a false
alarm.
R. S- J—Will you please tell me
who this ‘Mary” is, my husband is
talking about?
Ans: It looks to me like your hus
bands habit of “talking in his sleep
is going to cause him a little Embar
rassment- This woman he talks about
is not a sweetheart but an old friend
who ho has known in years gone by
I suggest that you keep this matter of
him talking in his sleep to yourself
for you will learn a number of n
interesting things from his bedtime
babbling
M- J—Will I have to give up my
new outfit?
Ans: Your husband will come to
your rescue again and find himself
another job- In this n^annar you
will able to hold the WASHING MA
CHINE you are trying so hard to pay
for.
C- H- M-—I have two boy friends
“A” and “B” I love “A” and I also
hate to hurt “B”. What shall I do?
Ans: You must take a firm stand
and give “B” up entirely. You are
now engaged to “A” and it is unfair
of yom to let “B” continue to come
around. It has to be done sooner or
later and you might as well get it
over with- The longer you put this
joh off the harder it’s going to be to
give “B” the gate
i>- xl. o--—Will l cvci wx,x‘iv out an
invention as I hope to ?
Ans: I don’t like to dissappoint you
WON’T. This course of study you
are taking will help you considerably
but as far as making an inventor out
of you—well, that just can’t be done
It will be of interest to you to know
that it will lead to your getting job
in the line of work you like best so
keep after it
L- W- 57,714—Should I write the
letter I have in mind and will I get
the money I have sent for ?
Ans: I see no reason why you should
not write this letter. After all she’s
your wife yet- I see dissappointment
concerning the matter of money,I fear
it won’t come
Mrs- C-—-Will I ever get well of
the trouble I am now suffering with ?
Ans: Righto- A THROAT SPE
CIALIST will fix you up in first class
shape. Your condition is really not
as serious as you are inclined to be
lieve- You will undergo a slow but
■sure cure and you can expect to be
soon on the road to recovery.
K. V- C-—There is somethng I like
1 about a young man I recenty met
and I don’t know what it is- I worry
night and day about him- Will there
be any chance for us getting together?
Ans: A very slim* chance- The
young man in question is already tied
down to another girl- You would
only be playing SECOND FIDDLE
to her- It would be better if you re
tained JUST FRIENDS.
T- B. B—I enjoy your column very
much- I want you to tell me if I
should give my friend another trial?
Ans: If you wish you can- I think
it best that you do not place too much
confidence in him though for he is not
a SQUARE-SHOOTER- I mean—the
mnute your back is turned he starts
playing around with son* body else
That time you went away he was run
ning around having a good time with
YOUR BEST FRIEND

EDITORIAL OF THE
WEEK
Jubilee of N A AC P
(From America, A Catholic-Review
of the Week)
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, cele
as an organization on Lincoln’s birth
dau, February 12. During the en
tire period of its history the Associa
tion has battled for Negro rights,
particularly in the ofvie field. It
has been the major agency in arous
ing the sentiment of the country
against lynching. It fought- success
fully, against the Louisville segre
gation ordinance of 1914. In 1925
it carried the case of the Arkansas
peons before the Supreme Court of the
United States,and won a historical
decision therefrom. It was instru
mental in preventing the Senate of
the United States from confirtning
the appointment of Judge Parker.
In the meanwhile, its branches have
grown to 378, in the North, West and
large centers of the South. At pre
sent moment the Assocaton s conduct
ng an appeal campaign for its work: ”
a penny for every Negro in the United
States.” The N. A. A. C. P. has'
been severely criticized for its milit-1
aney and will probably continue to
be. However, it is not its policy to
impede the work of those who resort
to more peaceful methods. Its ad
vocates observe that, in point of fact,
the more conservative movements in
behalf of the Negro would not ach
ieve what the have accomplished were
there nat more militant group in the
field to bear the burden of controversy
indeed, that the Negro has obtained
little in the United States that he
has not had to contend for. From
the Cathoic point of view, miitancy
is as Christlike as peace. In His
ife, the Savior illustrated both polic
ies; and the story of Blessed Roch
Gonzalez, in this issue, shows the
sanction that His Church puts upon
a genuine battle for hiiman rights.
Catholics can wish success to the N.
A. A. C. P.

Africa Unknown—Continued
\\ hy should Africa, at the very door
of Europe and Asia, remain a dark
continent so long? It is the second
largest continent, being three times
as large as Europe- The distance
from its northernmost point to its
southernmost, is about 5,000 miles;
from the extreme western tip to the
point farthest east, the distance is ap
proximately 4,600 miles
One reason for the delay in the ex
ploration of Africa is its contour. The
coast line is very regular and is only
19,000 miles in length—shorter in
proportion to its area than that of
any other continent- There are no
good harbors. Added too this was the
lack of navigable rivers- Another
reason is the surface of Africa
In general it was a vast plateau, the
average height being 2,000 feet- From
the northwest, the burning sands of
the Sahara Desert kept out the ex
plorers- Still another bar to early
exploration was the climate of Afri
ca- Most of the territory, about
three-fourths, w-as in the torrid zone
The heat was intense- Only that part
of the continent in the temperate
zones and the highest plateaus was
healthful, the rest abounded in fever
The tsetse fly and the malarial mos
quito added to the hazards

Maxie Miller: I’m worried nearly
to death- I'm a married woman
twenty-four- I went out with a wild
crowd. They persuaded to smoke,
and drink- A man tried to get fresh
with me, but I put him in his place
Now, he says if I don’t do what he
wants me to do he’ll tell my hus
band about the party. Ill lose my
husband if he finds- What must I
do ? ? I am nearly crazy—Dot
Dot: You are finding true the
Bible saying. “The way of the trans
gressor is hard,” and I hope you will I
profit by this experience- The best:
thing to do is to confess to your
husband the mistake- Tell him all,
and if he loves you he’ll appreciate
the situation and give you credit for

INDUSTRIAL NEWS
REVIEW
WEEDS IN THE GARDEN
There are thousands of persons
throughout fhe nation, and a small
army of lawmakers in city councils,
state legislatures and congress, who
seem to feel that the way to bring
about recovery from depression is to
destroy private business and under
mine public confidence in capital
Their theories remind one of the
weeds in a garden—they flourish un
til the owner realizes that they are
sapping the strength of the produc
tive plants on which they depend for
a living. And then they are quietly
removed.
The people may find it necessary
to do considerable weeding in their
political gardens before long if they
wish to retain time-tested American
traditions and ideals
OCTOPUS—OR JUST YOU AND ME
The present political campaign a
gainst the electric industry—which
uses as its weapons oppressive taxa
tion, inequitable regulation, and tax
free, publicly-subsidized government
competition—is usually justified on
the grounds that the private utilities
are owned by wealthy financiers, who
wax fat at theexpense of a suffering
public.
That makes an excellent picture
for the agitators to display. But the
facts are very different- The other
day the San Francsco Chronicle ran
an editorial concerning a local elect
ric company, which is representative
of such companies as a whole- The
Chronicle said: “The companv is
owned by exactly 97,106 stockholders.
The average investiment of its stock
holders is less than $3,000. Should
these average investors be portrayed
by emotional journalists and political
antagonists as octopuses and fat men,
or should they be pictured as nearly
100,000 American citizens with a nor
mal investiment program including a
nominal but vitally important stake
in a legitimate corporate enterprise?”
Every reader would doo well to an
swer that question for himself. If we
throttle the private electric industry
with taxes, we are throttling millions
of dollars worth of savings belonging
to average Americans like ourselves
We are destroying jops, opportun
ities, futures- We are menacing the
spirit of initiative which is the corner
stone of all our economic and social
progress
Seperate the facts from the rhetor
ic when you listen to proposals de
limited to persecute the electric or
any other business- Then think them
over carefully
LET’S MAKE OUR TOWN
CLEANER AND SAFER
Rght now Spring is in the air, and
nature, in her annual awakening, is
doing her utmost to beautify this old
world of ours- A little help on our
part would not he amiss
In the Winter many things are neg
lected- Vacant lots, yards and even
streets become unsightly. Now is the
time for a thorough spring cleaning,!
in the interest of better health, safe
ty and improved appearance.
Such a clean-up campaign is a
splendid activity for civic clubs,
chambers of commerce or Boy Scouts
to sponsor- One of them will have to
assume the leadership in order to
start the ball rolling, then obtain the
cooperation of ohters- Streets and
parkings should be cleaned- Vacant
lots, cleared of rubbish, can be made
into healthful playgrounds, parks or
gardens. Not the least important
phase of this work is the jobs it pro
vides
When a movement bo clean-up,
paint-up and beantify sweeps through
a community, it leaves in its wake a
healthier, safer and more sanitary
town than it found
From the angle of fire safety alone,
it it worthwhile- In this connection
it is interesting to note that the Na
tional Board of Fire Underwriters re
ported that during the year of 1932,
rubbish and litter caused a fire loss
of almost $1,200,000 throughout the
United States- Let’s beautify our
communities—and save that money
this year.

What Negro Editors Are Saying.
“The triple agencies, the Home,
the School and the Church must
awake from their long slumber of
contentment and inactivity and per
form their civic and Christian duties
and thus keep orlerly society off the
rocks of disaster. The modem home
must do more than feed and clothe
the child; the school must do more
than teach the child, and the church
must do more tan inspire him—youth
should and imust, if properly trained,
be taught self respect, his duty as a
citizen, to respect the rights of others,
to be industrious, thrifty and re
spectable. The society in which
youth is bom and reared owes every
girl and boy this duty and debt ”

JOBS IN THE GROUND
There are thousands of potential
jobs in the ground
The jobs will be provided by the
mining industry—-when mining comes
back- Not many years ago the mines
were the greatest employers and tax
payers n a number of states- Their
prosp city was responsible for the
prosperity of agriculture, retailers,
local industries of all kinds- And the
money they created went far beyond
state borders, and made itself felt
throughout the entire country.
A mining revival would be a long
setp toward good times
