I* AY TAXES BY DEC. 31ST Readers of the Omaha Guide will be interested in a explanation of the state law cancelling interest on delinquent taxes, as compiled by sponsors of Omaha’s civic tax collection campaign for the Oma ha Guide 31 . The law states that interest and penalties on all delinquent regu lar real estate and personal taxes prior to March 19. 1937, be can celled, provided said delinquet taxes aro paid by December 31, 1938. The amount of unpaid taxes, however, draws seven per cent interest from Mai-ch 19, 1937, until date of pay men:. It said delinquent taxes are NOT paid by December 31 of this year, then all former interest and pen alties are again in effect on the | ta': bill. Taxpayers seeking information about this law should telephone or write the Delinquet Tax Col lection Campaign 260 Acquila Court, Jackson 315£. a town fifty miles away and we did not reach home until 8:30 the next morning, and I was so happy. T told my mother, I had stayed the night with friends. Two weeks ago he told me that he was already married, but that he still loved me and as aoon as he got a divorce from his present wife, he would marry me. But Miss Waters I am in trouble now and yesterday, he told me he thought there could be no divorce. Miss Waters and I am a respectable girl my parents hold p. high position socially.I dare not tell them of my troubles. There is no friend to whom I can turn. What shall I do? I have often thought of taking my life but have not the courage. Will you please help me. Is my case as hopeless as I sec it?—K. W. T. ♦ « * * * You are paying the penalty of taking sweet nothings of strangers too seriously_Girls Who become unduly familiar with men whom they know little about are taking a great risk. This man’s crime against his family and you stamps him as utterly undependable. The fact that your family is well thought of in the community is all the more reason why you should toll them of your difficulty. Al though their hurt will be great, parents seJdom neglect their chil dren in the time of need. For more detailed information you may send mo your name and address. I am sure we can solve the problem without too drastic results. D K A R M i s s W atte rs: I am a woman, 36 years of age. I have a youthful figure, a beauti ful complexion and am always well groomed. I am married to a man 10 years my junior. Now I know my husband loves me. We have been married *ix years and he has showed in every way his affection iov me. Lately a girl has moved next door to us. We have become fast friends, or rather my husband and she have become good friends. She seems to resent me, his wife. Her every action reproaches me for marrying a husband younger than myself. I have noticed of late that my husband is with her much of of his time, I was not suprised when she asked me to release my husband, that she had confessed his love for her, and that I was holding him against his will. Now Miss Watters, I know my husband loves me and this infatu ation of his can’t last. What shall I do? He is still tender and kind to me, but last night I saw them together—and maybe its love. Miss Watters, please help me to solve this problem. Shall I give him the ; divorce they desire. * * * * * You married a problem when you married a man 10 years young er than yourself, and frankly I cannot say that ad vice from anyone will help the situation very much. But if you have all of the youth and beauty of which you speak plus the knowledge of human na ture which comes mostly with ex periece I would say that you 'have more than a 50 per cent advantage in this instance. In the first place you are legally married and there is the possibility that this young lady is curious and adventurious, and that the next young man who conies her way, offering her a pro blem of conquest will detract her thoughts from her husband. In the meantime, profess disappointment in his breaking faith, but he broad minded about it. Thig is a quality which is seldom perfected in youth. Also read the beauty advice on the woman’s page. There may be additional ideas on being well groomed. ***** Miss Watters a member of the Niles Domestic Bureau has kind ly consented to assist in the ad justment of love and domestic problems for readers of this pa per.

All such problems should be taken to your Doctor or Lawyer. I am 16 years old and have nev er been in love before until now. But now I am seriously in love with a new kid here in town. He is really good looking. And I have honestly and truly fell in love with him. I don’t as a rule fall in love with anyone, as all my girl friends can tell you, but now I have fallen and fallen hard. My problem now is, how can I get acquainted with this gt^r I love? I don’t seem to exactly know how I can do so. I see him every day on the streets, but every time I try to introduce myself to hipji I lose my nerve and just say “hel lo.’’ How would you go about intro | ducing yoursalf to him, if you were in my place and loved him like I . do? Would you go right up to him and introduce yourself, or try and j have someone else introduce him? If I introduce myself to him, what would you think the results would be. And what do you think he would thir.k of me? So far I have been quite unsuccess ful in 'having anyone introduce him to me, although they know him better than I do. Miss T. N. T. If I were in your place, I would n’t worry a great deal about this very good looking young man; es pecially when you have your school work to occupy much of your time. The best way to make desirable acquaintances is to secure an in troduction through mutual friends. You say that many of your friends know this young man, and you have been unable to secure an in troduction. Did it ever occur to you, that this youngster might not be the Appollo you imagine him to be. Now don’t miscontrue my mean ing. Wholesome acquaintencea be tween yuung people are not to be frowned upon. But before you be come too deeply interested in any one, make sure they are upright and decent and have a background, in keeping with the social stan dards your parents have tried to create for you. He perhaps would not react satisfactorily to the blunt display of undue interest manifest ed in a self introduction by some one who had the love motive. -0O0 J. B. CLEANERS 1805 N. 24THST.
