Ms f Ans: This othe~ party’s voice . ihad that “l.tUe touch" seemed to make yours very outstanding. Don’t worry about the matter so much, if possi ble ask this other party back and if they don’t so? fit re turn, make arrangements to get someone else to assist you. _ I. A. C. Is my husband still in love with me and if so, why does he always fight and curse m ■ ? I ain think ng seriously of taking n'.y two children and leav ing. Ans: Both you and your hus band are jealous and always suspecting the other of untrue things. The host thing in the world for you is to make up your mind not to fass with him and ho w 11 not persist in curs ing and fighting. Leaving your husband and taking your two children with you would he a serious step, as it isn’t likely you could raise them without help. Try to adjust your home affairs. L. A.—My brother got sick some time ngo and his wife sent him to tho hospital The doctors sent him home in n f?w days saying he had ulcers of the stomach. Now he is dead and I would like to know if it was ulcers or something else that caused his death. Ans: His death was the re sult of the stomach trouble that he had been suffor'ng with for quite some time. There wasn’t any kind of un fair work or trickery to cause his death. He, being sixty years of age, just couldn’t seem to throw off tho condi tion. I. N.—Should I encourage my husband with 'his plans or am I really expect ng too much, Ans: Certainly you should give your husband all of the support and encouragement that you can, this is what makes successful men in the world. You aren’t expecting too much, for he is capable of carrying out these plans whereby you both will be bene fited. L, B.—Hoes the boy I have in mind really like me or is he using mo for a sucker? Will my uncle ever let me go along with boys? Ans: The boy does like you, . but my dear child, you both aro too young to. be worried about love affairs. I might add that ho goes wi.th other girls and you should make other boy friends. When you are old enough, your uncle will allow you to receive company as oldor girls. F, H. C.—I have a nagging wife that nags me all "the time about getting a better job. Sometimes she says she will quit if I don’t get better work. Tell me if it is ad visable for me to join the union in order to better my condition? Ans: You might as well al low iher to make her choice as she doesn’t seem to understand that jobs are not plentiful at this time. Hold to the position you have until you are able to make a better eoenection. In your line of duty, I don’t see how it would help to join the union, but it certainly will not hinder you any. M.

Missionary Leader Covers 10,000 Miles Bn Africa .\^vrj I ucy Hughes t’hurcn Off.c* ial Describes Inspection Tour CAPETOWN, South Africa, Feb. * (Delayed Correspondence) Mrs. Ducy M. Hughes of Cameron, Tex a’, president of the Home and For eign Missionary society of the A. ME. church returned to Capetown recently after completing a tour of 10,000 miles through Africa. Mrs. Hughes was making a trip of inspect'on so that she might see the work which has been accomp lished over the year3 by the funds sent to Africa by the missionary group of which she is the head. The work is being done by this missionary group is sa d to be the mo t extensive curried on by any colored denomination. “I am grateful for this opport un’ty to visit wonderful Africa,” ■aid Mrs. Hughes. “It is a great continent, rich in gold, diamonds, an 1 ore; beautiful with flowers, tree-’, birds and the most beautiful .tkie-i to be .seen anywhere. Its mountains, many of them snow _ >e-i with the clouds resting on } L'.'.e r peaks, tree and flower be decked, are too beautiful for a poor human like me to attempt description. “I have made many contacts here for our work. In Bellawayo I was entertained in the Colored Township hall. The mayor of the city was master of ceremonies and; help the audience was European “I traveled through Southern, and Northern Rhodesia, as far as tho Belgian Congo, I spent a week at Johannesburg, visiting the min es, “Tho 'Compound," where 8,000 native men working in the 'mines every day live. Most of these men work for one shilling six pence, the highest paid receiving two shl ling six pence, which is about 31 and 56c in American money. I visited tho quarters of the ‘witch doctors’, and while at Johannesburg had tea w th Mrs. Bridgeman, a white mis sionary who with her husband, de ceased, came here 26 years ago o w.rk among the natives. She has c tablbhed the Bridgeman Mater nity hospital for Native women. The day I spent with her, 25 bab ies were born. She has also est ablished a home for delinquent na tive girls and' a 'Helping' Hand’ institution, and as 1 inspected it, I could not help but feel that some ono does care for those farthest “While in Rhodesia I surveyed some 10 native kraals. There is where you find real primitive life with a Chief and his many wives holding control. Poverty, filth, sickness and many deaths confront you. The government in these sections seems very hard and un fair to the natives. I visited the offices of the native commissioners and also the commissioners of ed ucation, but my impression is that they have little genuine interest in tho natives. “Tho schools are taught by in ferior teachers and go only to the second or third grade. The teach ers have the appearance of our ‘bottom’ farmers and in many cas es had themselves only gone to the T»F RFtl'TY POX Is l!y VERSUS WINSTON of Eg Northside Beauty Shop “THE CARE OF THE TEETH” Many women think of their tseth merely as something to take to the dentist every so often. Do you know your teetih are one of the greatest assets you have? It is your teeth and your eyes that put sparkle and animation in your face. I've heard women say that a jewelled pin or clip “just makes” a dress or a hat. Well, I 've seen shinning, sparkling teeth “just make a face”. Unfor tunately, I’ve seen teeth unmake a face, too. I don’t know anything, that is more disillusioning than to seo a woman smile and show teeth and look dingy, possibly discolored around the gum-linc. Give a little thought to your teeth. Use a denti-^ frice that you know will do a good thorough job of cleansing and po lishing! Most people prefer a dent'frice with a pleasant taste This is more important than your may think. A refreshing tooth powder does more than make your mouth “feel good." It stimulates the flow of salvia. Today beauty doesn’t consist of anything that you have to be born with in the way of features. Many of the women who are famous as “great beauties” today are actually ugly, as far as their features are concerned. Today, the fashion is to emphasize grooming. Your skin may be light or dark or olive, but it must be healthy and in goo.d con dition. Your hair must be clean and bright and well dressed. Your teeth must be white and clean, too and how many of you reajjy think seriously of the BEAUTY of your teeth? Maybe that is the reason you may think some people are really attractive, because of their clean teeth when they smile or talk. Have you ever seriously looked for a tooth powder that would put a brilliant lustre on your teeth? Or do you pick up whatever is “on sale” today? It is 'hard for the perfectly groomed woman to be unattractive. You may feel that Nature didn’t give you a fair break, is not giv ing you the perfect features that a friend of yours has. I say that any woman who is perfectly groom ed will look more attractive than the prettiest woman who isn’t. By perfect grooming I mean clean, bright, shining hair I’ve told you how to have that. And a mean clear, healthy skin with a certain artistic make-up .1 have told you | about that. But no woman calls herself well groomei. who lets her her teeth get dull and stained. To day a lot of you smoke. All of you eat! Every hour something hap pens in your mouth that adds stains or dullness to your teeth. Don’t think that a quick brushing with an old tooth brush and Jus1 any tooth powder that you happen to pick up on the bargain counter is all the attention you need to give your teeth. Your tooth brush must be clean and the bristles strong. Don’t try : shake it on the brush unless you like to waste powder. Put a l ttle of the powder in the palm t.your left hand. Then moisten y„a.‘ liU. h a very little jast enough to pick up the powder. The powder gi'tould be as nearly dry as possible when you use it to clean and polish your teeth.
