L. S. A.—'If I should go to New
York will the dream that I have in
mind come to pass?
Ans: Yes—go to New' York for it
seems to me that you will be given a
chance to sing over the AIR as
many other AMATUERS are doing.
You will be given a fair chance and
the public will be your judge. You
will be recognized as a very good
SINGER.
J. C.—I have made a fool of my
self and a laughing stock of my
community and I want to know if I
should marry to end this mess?
Ans: It is best that you do not
marry anyone until you get entirely
over the LOVE AFFAIR that you
have just experienced. You would be
doing any girl an injustice to marry
in your state of mind. Forget the
girl that tried to make a fool of you
and do not allow yourself to ever
see her if possible. It won’t be but a
few months until this will blow over.
G. T.—Do you think my husband
will join his family anytime soon?
* Ans: It is revealed to me that
your husband will RECOVER from
his present ILLNESS and join you
and your family before the extreme
cold weather of this year. His con
dition ie slowly improving.
L. S. S.—I would like to know if
you think there will be a chance of
my entering college?
Ans: Not this term — however, it
is revealed to me that you will enter
your first year of college in the
first year of 1936. You will find
employment that will make it pos
sible for you to save some money
and prepare yourself for school
next year.
A- B. B.—J am in love with a
young man and I would like to
know if you think that our religion
matters ?
Ans: Both of you young people
are very devout in your religion and
you will have to make up your
minds to accept only ONE FAITH.
Since these religions are very simi
lar, I don’t believe either of you
would mind giving this much to
ward your FUTURE HAPPINESS
together.
k
K. D. S.—I am anxious to know
if I will get another job?
Ans: It seems to me that you will
make a change of employment this
year and at this tune you have your
APPLICATION in the company that
will call you to work. This chance
HITTING THE LITTLE FELLOW
Tax laws designed to punish big
business, under the guise of revenue
producing measures, may wreak
their principal damage on little
busines and on the little fellow—
the wage-earner, the small investor,
the white-collar worker.
In addition, they may make it im
possible for the little business and
the little fellow ever to go ahead_
to progress, to prosper, to grow.
A recent editorial in the Los An
geles Times said: “This is a ‘big*
country accustomed to doing things
in a ‘big’ way. To dwarf such a her
itage would he in truth to return us
to the horse and buggy days. To go
forward, to explore, investigate, ex
periment, to attain the heights by
trial and error is expensive but nec
essary to human progress.
“The small, poorly financed busi
ness or individual is aften an initial
stepping stone to great things. The
poor man becomes rich; the small
business grows and one day is a
‘big business’ boasting a worth
while heritage of accomplishment.
There has been incentive all along
the line.
“It may be wrong, but success,
business success at least, is pre
dicated upon financial independence.
To rule that the small and struggling
shall never grow big and aggressive
is to knock the props out from under
our national habit and set us back a
century.”
It seems that the whole aim of
Politically-minded persons today is to
punish, to discourage and to prevent
success, to dwarf achievement, to
stifle initiative, to throttle ambition,
to poison the springs of enterprise.
We raise our taxes on “bigness” to
point where a man or a corporation,
once it gets beyond the size of a cor
ner grocery, is just working for the
tax collector. "We pass regulatory
laws giving political job holders, not
executives and stockholders, the
final say as to business practices and
operations.
Whether this represents fascism
communism, socialism or any other
“ism,” it is directly opposed to every
American tradition. And it is a
threat to the future of every prin
ciple for which our forefathers
fought.

will prove profitable financially.
M. A. W.—Tell me why this lady
across the street talks about me?
Ans: She really doesn't want to
cause you any unhappiness but she
thinks that you are a BIT TOO
YOUNG to be going with the boys
and has taken it upon herself to tell
everyone in your neighborhood. She
won’t say anything that will hurt
you.
L. S. A.—I am so despondent here
and I want to know what I should do
to get over this feeling that I have?
Ans: You just can’t seem to get
used to working in the COUNTRY
and it would be best for you to give
this job up and look for work in the
city. “You have enough money to
keep you on your feet for a while
and it seems to me that you won’t
be without work but a few days.
C. R.—Will J be able to marry the
girl that I promised that I would in j
June?
Ans: It is best that you get this j
• young lady off your mind for her!
people sent her AWAY to keep you
two from getting married. Her peo
ple are trying to give her a college
education and they had rather not
; see her marry while she is so very
young. You will marry someone
around your own age.
W. W. X.—Why does my husband
w'ant to continue borrowing money
on my furniture?
Ans: As long as your husband
can borrow money to live on he is
not going to GET A JOB. When he ;
does get this money he never spends j
a dime on you and it would be doing
him a favor to put a stop to these
j loans before you have to pay them
[ off yourself.
—
B. D. S.—I would like to know if I
return to my home would they accept
me in the family again?
Ans: Your mother would give
anything that she POSSESSED at
this writing if you vrere to return to
her home in Canada. You don’t have
to fear going home for they will
never mention the trouble that you
had before you left her home.

148 YEARS OF CONSTITUTIONAL
LIBERTY
By E. Hofer
On September 17, the Constitution j
of the United States was 148 years
old. Observation of Constitution
Day has focused public attention on
that great document—and on the
dangers that are now’ besetting it.
It is no exaggeration to say that
Constitutional rights and privileges
are menaced—that political experi
i mentation with theories of alien
1 orgin are usually the direct anti
• thesis of the American scheme of
government—and that many of the
I politicians who pay lip service to the
.Constitution in high-soundng
: speeches, are dmong the leaders of
I those wrho emasculate it.
Some are urging that a Constitu
i tional Amendment be passed where
: by Congress and the President would
; be given vastly broader powers than !
! they now possess—in spite of the I
fact that such an amendment would !
I very possibly make the Bill of
Rights meaningless. Others advo- j
' cate a law depriving the Supreme
| Court of its right to pass on the
constitutionality of legislation—’
even though that would eliminate the
principal reason for the very exist
ence of the Court, and make it no
different from lower tribunals. Still
others are urging new judicial “in
terpretations” of Constitutional pro
visions whereby the original mean
ing would be -warped. And there are
those who think it feasible to cir
cumvent the Constitution, by politi
cal chicanery whereby laws can be
kept away from a Supreme Court de
cision for a long priod of time, until
their unconstitutional ends have been
attained.
It is inevitable that changes in the
Constitution will weaken it—that
the protecting arm it now* holds out
over human rights, property rights
and individual liberties and preroga
tives will be made less strong. No
document has withstood the vicissi
tudes of a changing century and a
half so well—none has so complete
ly achieved the purposes of free,
democratic government The Con
stitution is the very soul of America
—without it, we would be no differ
ent from those other nations whose
people are now feeling the mailed
fist of dictators, at the expense of
freedom of the press, freedom of ac
i tion, freedom to live, think and
' speak as one wishes.

American Legion May
Ban Discrimination
Of Negroes
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 5, (By R. C.
Fisher for ANP)—A resolution,
disapproving of the discrimination
practiced against ex-service men of
our Race by white posts of the
American Legion in several South
ern States, was among the 736 bills
of legislation to be considered by
Legion convention committees, as
835,000 World War veterans, here for
their 17th annual conclave swung in
to their regular business session last
Wednesday morning.
It was a foregone conclusion that
the committee on legislation would
recommend to the convention floor
adoption of a resolution demanding
immediate cash payment of the
bonus.
These resolutions were previously
adopted by various posts and later
approved by the Eastern States at
thair conventions.
Plea For Justice.
New Jersey has gone on record as
one of the state departments to re
quest action by the National Legion
organization at its convention in St.
Louis, to force discriminating states
to repeal such laws that deprive any
veteran or rights and privileges that
all veterans should enjoy. The reso
lution was presented by H. A. Brown,
commander of Kenneth Hawkins Post
No. 61 of Atlantic City and the only
member of his Race to be affiliated
with the post.
Th voting delegates Wednesday
numbering 1,207, had an importance
which they did not have at the
Monday’s meeting. Registration fig
ures reached 65,000, of which 850
were of our group. Legion members
do not register.
Maine, Massachusetts, Connecti
cut, New York, Pennsylvania and
Maryland registered bitter protests
against the “persecution of mem
bers of any racial group by any
state or nation.” This was in sup
port of the resolution offered by the
State departrqent of New Jersey.
Few Heroes Seen.
A bevy of war heroes: Col.
“Billy” Warfield, of the Eighth
Illinois Regiment; Tom Mays of
Chicago, commander of Giles Post;
Bernard L. Heiner, of Baltimore,
Federal Post No. 19; Clarence Tyd
ings, of Baltimore, recipient of the
Croix de Guerre and star, and George
Johnson of Pasadena, Cal., who
served 32 years in the Regular Army
and nine and a half months overseas
with the 349th Field Artillery, and
a number of other distinguished vet
erans, expressed individual senti
ments toward this greatest of all
Legion conventions.
The constitution of the Legion was
framed here in May, 1919. General
Pershing and Enoch Crowder, in
charge of the drafts, were natives of
Missouri.
Through the local Tom Powell
Post, which was host to the Col
ored legionnaires, many social court- !
esies were extended the visitors.J
Godfrey Nicholson is commander of
Tom Pawell Post.
Mixed Posts Welcomed.
From a vantage point, this corre
spondent reviewed the big spectacu
lar Legon parade unit, last Monday.
Here and there an appreciable num
ber of our vets could be seen in the
line of march and were integral parts
of the marching outfits composed of
whites.
The brass band that headed the en
tire Michigan State organization
was the championship Detroit outfit
of Col. Young Post No. 77, with 65
instruments. A mass of legon post
standards, great blue and gold ban
ners followed.
Giles Post of Chicago is rich in
buglers and drummers, and played
lively marches. “Tuffy,” giant mas
cot of the post, in a red bellhop suit
and a red cap, drew much attention.
A feature of the Post Employees’
Drum and Bugle Corps of Boston,
Mass., was one of its trumpeters,
who happened to be a member of
our Race, and the only one in that
musical outfit.
Mixed posts from Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey had
no difficulty in securing accomoda
tions for their entire membership in
St. Louis’ leading hotels.
NEGRO TEACHERS HON
ORED BY JAPANESE
By ALICE E. McGEE
(For The Associated Negro Press)
Editor’s Note—Miss McGee is one
of three St. Louis school teachers
who spent this summer’s vacation in
the Orient, principally in Japan. She
was educated at the University of
Illinois and the University of Ohi*
cago. She is teacher of geography in
the Vashon High School. Miss McGee
is a member of Pi Gamma Mu, hon
orary social science society, the Na
tional Educational association, the
National Geographic Society, and was
for three years national secretary of
Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. The
two teachers who accompanied Miss
McGee were, Miss L. M. Turner and
Miss Isabel Dickson.
I found the Japanese the most
kindly, courteous people I have ever
known. I have traveled in nearly ev
ery state in the United States, in
Canada, Mexico, the West Indies, the
north coast countries of South Ameri
ca, the Phillipines, Hawaii and China
and nowhere have I found a more
kind-hearted people than the Japan
ese, nor a group which showed more
friendliness to me,
Before going to Japan, I had hoped
that the knowledge of the condition
of the Negro in the United States
might excite-the sympathy bf the Jap
anese people but J was utterly unpre
pared for the profound feeling they
showed, once they learned something
of the nature of the problems of an
other dark-skinned group.
There must be two Japans—one
the Japan of daring, ruthless mili
tary conquests, designed to establish
the dignity and prestige of the na
tion, the other, the Japan of home
makers, the friendly, pious, indus
trious natives, the friendliest, clean
est, politest people I have ever
known.
Whether so willed or not, an
American Negro, man or woman,
who escapes temporarily from Ameri
can white prejudice, is a furtive ob
server of its possible existence else
where. I confess, I was prepared to
find racial prejudice in Japan. I did
not. Not against the NegTO. If there
was any prejudice, it was shown
against the white man. The Japanese
bitterly resent white America’s
treatment of Japanese. They do not
go so far as to treat whites discour
teously. That would be against the
Japanese sense of what is right. They
treat whites with politeness because
it is a duty to do so, but toward us,
as colored Americans, they were ev
en finer. They treated us ,as brothers
j and sisters.
On every occasion, no matter how
suspicious, where Japanese, Whites
and we colored women were assembl- j
ed, the Japanese singled us out for I
posts of honor. We seemed to be the
ones they were the most proud to'
have ’with them.
I was particularly impressed by
their treatment of us during the ses
sions of the Pan-Pacific New Edu
cational Conference held in Tokio,
August 1- 8, and attracting delegates
from all countries bordering on the
Pacific Ocean. More than three hun
dred delegates attended. Miss Isabel
Dickson, critic teacher in the Sim
mons Demonstration School in St.
Louis, and I, attended as visitors
from America and were the only Ne
groes present.
We attended all of the various ses
sions and were treated as though we
were the most highly honored guests.
At no time did we meet with any dis
crimination on the part of the Japan
ese and if the people were prejudiced
it was certainly in our favor. Only
the white Americans showed their
prejudices. This they did on more
than one occasion* We were receiv
ed most cordially everywhere by the
Japanese. I was asked to give a word
of welcome at the opening meeting.
Miss Dickson led a discussion group
on problems relating to teacher train
ing and later spoke on Soroban, the
Japanese method of calculation, as
compared with our methods of com
putation.
A high spot of the conference for
me was the farewell luncheon. At
this luncheon it was our privilege
I to be seated at the honor table with
Miss Helen Parkhurst of the Dalton
school in the United States, Prof. I
and Mrs. Lang- of Fresno, California,
Mr. Enaro Noguchi, president of the
conference, and His Excellency,
Prince Iyesato Tokugawa, honorary
president. An American white wo
man who was invited to sit at the
Prince’s table declined to do so when
she learned that she would have to
sit next to me.
Five persons were called upon for
“farewell talks”. I was one of the
five. I w-as distinctly impressed with
a sense of mission. An American white
man, bom in Mobile, Alabama, but
now living in Japan and married to
a Japanese woman, sent me a note j
when he learned that I was one of
the five chosen speakers and asked
me to remember that J spoke for ten
millions.
I did speak for the millions of peo
ple in the United States and for all
Americanes as well. I tried to talk
as simply and as dispassionately as
I could of my people, of America, and
of the ideals of brotherhood and har
mony toward which all races and na
tions should strive. I sought to pro
duce no special effects. Mine I con
sidered to be a simple mission, unex
pectedly imposed upon me. But my
plain, unvarnished plea brought tears
to the eyes of Japanese men and wo
men who listened to me. I had the
feeling that I stood before a new peo
ple, whose existence I had hitherto
not suspected, a pious, tender, sym
pathetic nation in the hearts of whose
citizens are watered the principles of
brotherly love which most other peo
ples give but lip service to.

AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY
INTERDEPENDENT
In a recent address, Governor
Lehman of New York, said: “We
have been accustomed to think of
agriculture and of industry as dis
tinct fields of commercial effort—is
things widely apart—having very
little, if any, .relationship to each
other. We talk of agriculture alone,
of industry alone, of commerce
alone. That has always seemed to
me the wrong point of view. The
time is long past -when any part of
the producing or consuming groups
of our economic structure can fail to
affect all other groups. The con
sumption of farm products—is in
fluenced almost exclusively by the
needs of a consuming population,
and these needs are obviously inevit
ably controlled by earning and
spending power of the public.
“Out of this there must come to
all of us, it seems to me, whether in
terested in city bus ness or in farm
business, an appreciation of the need
for a balanced development between
business and agriculture.”
Agriculture is now doing fine work
in achieving that balanced develop
ment through farmer-owned and
controlled cooperative associations.
These associations are improving
farm production methods—they are
scientifically adjusting supply to de>
mand—and they are helping bring
about a sounder relation between the
wwholesale and retail prices of
farm produce.

T. Carey, of Carey’s Naborhood Grocery says that he

of meat has reached such a stupendously high level until
it cannot be advantag-eously purchased by the economical
housewife; she therefore has resorted to poultry which
can be obtained for around 20c lb.; second the quality of
