L. E. C.—Can you tell me will I get
rid of my pain I got under my heart?
Ans.—Your doctor will tell you as
I am telling you now—IT’S YOUR
NERVES, NOT ° YOUR HEART.
What you need is a good vacation,
for it’s about time you tobk a long
needed rest and let some other mem
ber of the family shoulder a little
more of the burden.
N. E, B.—For the past two weeks
or n>ore I been dreaming about her
every night. Will we ever live in
peace?
Ans.—'Your wife is not anxious to
return to you—she has lived with
you long enough to know that she
can not Ind happiness with you. It
is my belief that the right woman
has not yet entered your life. Your
TRUE MATE will come into your
life NEXT YEAR I believe.
WORRIED:—Will I receive the
letter I expect?
Ans.—You will receive a letter
from this person but take my advice
and DON’T PUT TOO MUCH
STOCK IN WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
It is better that you don’t go too far
with this person—you might live to
regret it.
M. A. G.—Howr can my husband
earn a living in an easier w^ay ?
Ans.—For the time being I would
suggest that your husband be thank
ful for the work he has. ■! think it
wise for him to continue on in his
present vocation for I predict him
securing a job in this field that will
be much easier on him, and pay well
too. This will come about through
a move you are planning to make
shortly.
J. H.—Should I go up to this boy’s
room with him?
Ans,—NO — DON’T DO IT. This
miin is much older than you are and
his intentions are anything but hon
orable. If you value Your HEALTH
you will keep away from this guy.
E. C. H,—Could you please tell me
where the father of my child is?
Ans—EAR, EAR, AWAY. Doing
the right thing just wasn’t part of
his makeup. He felt as though you
ROPED HIM IN and so he decided to
blow town. You will receive news
from him this fall. At present-! be
lieve him to be in WASHINGTON,
D. c.
A. C.—Will I be successful in what
I am thinking about?
Answ—It will be to your advantage

Woman Slasher
Ix>s Angeles, Calif., Aug. 21,
(ANP)—Men can’t talk about
the women in the family of Mrs.
Pearl West and get away with it.
Oscar Singleton and Ray Lowe
learned this much last week
when, during a drinking bout on
Central avenue, the conversation
drifted to Roberta Brown, neice
of Mrs. West.
A fight ensued during which
Mrs. West sustained a blackened
eye and bruises about the face.
She seized a butcher knife and
slashed both the men. Radio po
lice arrested the woman an as
sault charge, but when the in
jured men refused to prosecute,
she was released.

tune from this investment—I do be
lieve the transaction will prove a
; very profitable one for you.
D. K.—Why is my father actng
so queer lately?

and hasn’t the courage to tell your
mother. Luckily, he is working for
another Company in the same busi- j
ness a few days a week now.

E. M. L.—Lear Abbe’, if I do what
he wants nve to do will we get along
much better?
Ans.—Only for a little while—then
he will begin to mistreat you. If
he wants you as bad as all that— i
! tell him to call in a PREACHER,
j Your sweetheart is just the kind of
a fellow who loves them and leaves
j them.
J. M. W.—Will I get the money
' that I am trying to get ?
Ans.—Not the way you are trying

i better will materialize after the first
: of November.

H. F. Gj—Will I be successful in
: Dancing or being a Doctor?
Ans.—You are better suited to the j

j Crystal reveals you engaged n this
form of work in later life.
H. L. S.—Why is it that I don’t
have no luck with none of the girls I
meet ?
A ns.—You expect too much. A
girl isn’t going to “EAT YOU UP’’
just because you show her a good
time once in awhile* The trouble

Modern Flagellants
By R. A. Adams
For the Literary Service Bureau
The 13th century gave to the
world a set of religious bigots
known as “flagellants”- They
were a set of fanatics or extrem
ists who were characterized by
austere mien; they publicly
scourged themselves, hence the
name. This was done as evidence
of self-denial and for spiritual
growth and development. This
fanaticism ran its course and the
votaries became extinct. But the
spirit is still alive.
We have modern flagellants,
but under different names; and
they are as blatant, as unreason
able and intolerant as their fool
ish predecessors of the 13th cen
tury. Consider the means of en
lightenment now afforded, the fa
natics of today are less excusable
than those of the 13th century.
Because of inconsistencies in
their lives many believe these
modern, flagellants to be hypo
crites. They go to almost any
limit to win converts to their
cults, but, as a general thing,
both individually and collectively
they fail to practice what they
preach. So, whether hypocrites or
misguided fanatics, they do harm
to the cause of Christianity. They
are a discredit to the cause! anu
despite their zeal and their blat
ancy, they make but little helpful
contribution to human progress.
The prediction is that these mod
ern flagellants will become ex
tinct as did their predecessors of
the 13th century.
I Have Not
Lived In Vain
By R. A. Adams
For the Literary Service Bureau
I have not done just what I
should,
Perhaps not all I really could,
But, whatever ma ythe Fates
ordain,
I know I have not lived in vain.
In service to my fellowman,
I’ve fallen short of cherished
plan,
But I’ve been blossoming more
than bane,
And know I have not lived in
vain.
With shame unmeasured, I
confess,
I’ve not been clear of selfishness,
Yet, though the thought
engenders pain,
I’m sure I have not lived in vain
This is my consolation, then;
Though never knowing where,
nor when
The end may come, I still
maintain
I have not lived my life in vain.

Jimmie Johnson stopped a few
days in his little ole home town
enroute to join Nble Sissle in New
York. For the past two years Jim
mie has been playing with a St.

from St. Louis to New Orleans.
What a break for him and he is
quite deserving. It seems that our
trombone players are the favorite
ones to make the grade with the
‘big sho’ bands.

Remember ‘Long Boy’ Green
from Omaha who was such a sen

years back. Then Elmer Crumbley
left the ole 'home town to join
Jimmie Lunceford and now Jim
mie Johnson joins Noble Sissle.
We really do have some musi

Did you know that Frank Per

her home town that same evening.
Too bad she couldn’t have be&n

M iss Windburn is quite versatile,

Dr. Abram Harris
Rated One Of Na
tion’s Best Economists
New York, Aug. 15—(ANP)—
What it takes to win a coveted
Guggenheim Fellowship is reveal
ed in OPPORTUNITY this month
in an ably written article cap
tioned “The Guggenheim Fellow
ship ’ ’ by Earl Brown.
The questions which the Fel
lowship Committee considers are
What Have You Done? What do
You Propose to Do? The same
tests are applied to both colored
and white applicants for fellow
ships and the executive secretary
of the Guggenheim Foundation,
Henry Allen Moe, declares that
j the record of Negroes who have
received the awards compares
! favorably with that of the
whites. Detailing the method By
I which a person’s qualifications
are judged. Mr. Brown says of
Abram Harris, Grant Still and
Langston Hughes who received
fellowships in 1935 :
“Some idea about the fairness
and the negation of race and col
or in the selection of Guggenheim
candidates may be obtained thru
an explanation of Dr. Abram
Harris’ appointment. The com
mittee on the selection of candi
dates forwarded the books and
treatises written by Dr. Harris
to the leading economists in Eu
rope and the United States. In no
instance was Dr. Harris referred
to as a Negro- After most, detail
ed and critical studies of his
works, the world’s fost, renown
ed economists agreed that Profes
sor Abram Harris was one of the
foremost young economists in the
United States.
“I nthe cases of Messrs. Wil
liam Grantstill and Langston
Hughes, as well a in all other in
stances where Negroes have been
awarded fellowships by the Foun
dation, their work, and their pos
sibilities have been the only cri
teria for selection. Because of the
renown in the arts and sciences
of some of the colored candidates
the Foundation’s Committee on
Selection knew beforehand that
they were Negroes, but this fact
neither helped nor hindered the
aspirants. In all cases, the few Ne
groes who have won the Guggen
heim awards have been judged on
identically the same basis as their
comparatively few white col lea
gues. ’ ’

Dear Father:
Thanks for the money to buy my
new things for Easter. Aunt Cor
nelia says it is all that I need now.
I am a’lxous to have the explanaton
of the Easter spirit. This is some
thing big and high for me, but I
know it must be important as you
always know what is right and good.
I’ve been thinking of what you say
about other people. It seems a little
funny that we must do without things
to help other people, but I guess that
is something important too. 0 yes, I
forgot to tell you that one of those
little bad girls ha d a bii'thday and
I sent her a birthday card and seme
candy. Was that wrong? I hope
not. il did not know it in time to
ask you. so if it was not right, for
give me this time. Don’t forget that
[ I want to know about the Easter
I
spirit. Love a plenty from me.

| WOODSON CENTER NEWS
Vacation School
_
Woodson Center held its Ninth
Annual Vacation School, Julv 8
to August 2. 75 children, four
teen years old and under, at
tended the classes which met
from 9 a. m. till noon five days a
week. There were 23 different
classes in the school.
Three of the Recreation Work
ers assisted with the classes of
the school: Mr. II. MeCaw, Miss
E. Franklin and Miss C. Mullen.
We are grateful to our four
volunteers of the neighborhood
j Mrs. E. Foxall, Mrs. A. Morrow
and Miss S. Murdock, who had
charge of the Sewing classes; and
Mrs. li. Brown, who had charge
of Jr. Boy’s Art Craft, and mem
bers of our regular staff also as
sisted with the school.
Much variety was shown in the
handwork this year, including
that of lamp shade decorating,
china painting and original post
er making; emphasis being placed
on quality rather than quantity
of work.
The school’s attendance was
much smaller than in former
years ,and the children on the
whole much younger which fact
afforded opportunity for more
careful supervision, neatness of
work, and variety of program.
Thirty-five children of the
school ,13 and under ,took part
in the Operetta “Boy Blue”
which was staged in the Settle
ment’s Auditorium as a climax
to the four wreek’s work of the
school. The children displayed
talent in their singing, speaking
and dancing parts.
A large number of parents and
patrons of the Center turned out
for the Operetta, and the exhibit
of handiwork which was held at
the Center at 4 p. m. that after
noon and also following the Op
peretta.
Another feature of this year’s
Vacation school w\as the “Spe
cial Days’’ in various city parks
each Friday. These park days
were planned in an effort to give
our children the opportunity of
supervised play at least once a
week; on playgrounds with
equipment. There are no such
grounds available in, our neigh
borhood.
Children who could afford the
carfare paid part of the trans
portation costs. A special gift
of $5.00 from Mrs. Richardson,
provided an extra treat of ice
cream for the children at the
school picnic and for the party
honoring those taking part in the
Operetta.
The Operetta was directed by j
Rev. J. S. Williams, and Miss A.
Foxall, pianist.
Voiunteers in the Vacation
School were: Mrs. E. Foxall,
Mrs. A. Morrow, Mrs. R. Krown,
and Miss S. Murdock.

WEEKLY SHORT
SERMON
By Dr. A. G. Bearer
Jehosaphat—Divine Judgment
For the Literary Service Bureau
Text: I will gather all nations
and will bring them, down into
the valle yof Jehosaphat.—Joel
3:2.
The location of the valley of
Jehosaphat is uncertain, but it
means judgment. In this case it
[ is divine judgment for it is Jeho
: vah who declares lie will call the
! nations there, to judge them. So,
Jehovah will judge all nations.
1. National Attitudes. Jehovah
was to judge the people, the na
tions of the earth in regard to
their attitude toward the people
of Israel.-So God will judge the
nations in reference to their atti
tudes. The drink problem, de
gradation of womanhood, great
moral issues and racial relations
are included and involved.
2. National Behaviorisms. A
mong the* nations might domi
nates right. Hitler and Mussolini
are illustrations of tyrannnVal
dominance. These nations even
undertake to make the church of
God subservient to the unright
eous state reginme. They may
“get by”, for a while, but God
will call them into judgment.
3. The Personal Aspect. Nations
are made upof individuals. So
there is individual responsibility
as well as collective responsibili
ty. Before arriving at the “judg
ment seat” Divine Judgment
f I
deals with every individual
through his conscience. Yes, ev
ery nation and every individual
will be called into the valley of
Jehosaphat—it is inevitable and
inescapable.
