ABBE* WALLACE. P. 0. BOX 11, ATLANTA, QA.
J E. J.—According to the re
cords I was born in Octfcjber 3,
1890. What must I do or where
Should I go to be successful and
have a good career?
i Ans: It’s a little late in
life to be starting out on a
career. Try to engage in some
thing which will net you a
living without having to start
life all over again in a strange
city. You have good influen
tial friends where you live
' now—if you write me private
ly I will be able to go into
this matter fully.
D. L. W_Dear Abbe- What
should I do to (get settled in life?
I am tired of roaming .
Ans: Marriage is your only
solution. You have had some
mighty good offers—better
•tart considering them seri
ously. Surely you wouldn't
want to be art old maid
M. S.—I have a half crazy man
■i my homo and I cannot get
clear of him to save my life. He
sure is mean. I made him leave
S or 4 times and he stays 12
Nervous, Weak.
Ankles Swollen!
Much nervousness is caused by an ex
mas of acids and poisons due to func
tional Kidney and Bladder disorders
which may also cause Getting Up
Nights, Burning Passages, Swollen
Joints, Backache, Circles .Under Eyes,
excess Acidity. Leg Pains and Dizzi
ness. Help your kidneys purify your

. ‘ o o
months and then comeg back.
What can I do to get rid of him?
I am thinking of borrowing some
money, do you think I will be
successful in my undertaking?
Ans:—You have no busin- '
ess taking him back when you
do gel clear of him. Next time
you get him to leavo see that
he stays out. Don’t let him
tempt you to take him back
by accepting his money. It isn’t
worth the price. It will be
pretty hard for you to have
success in building tihis home
you have until you get a little
money ahead. You can’t bor
row money without collateral.
r
S. J.—I met a boy and really J
liked him very much. He asked |
ma to call 'him on the ’phone and
on many occasions I did. We had
a date and he failed to show up
because it rained. Tell me if I
should continue to hope that he
fc-ill mean anything to me?
Ans:—No, you really should
not expect anything from him
for he doesn’t love you, nei
ther is he Very interested in
you—if he had, he would have
kept fcis appointmenj with
you, rain or shine. Don’t call
him anymore and arrange to
meet some other young felows.
W J. F.—Do you think that M.
J. is the proper girl for me?
Ans:—There is no doubt but
that you would be exceeding
ly lucky if ,s*.u were fortunate
enough to win the love and
respect of such a nice girl as
the one you mentioned Just
be sure that you try to win
her “heart”.
M. S. —Will he ever forgive me
for not doing what he asked?
Ana:—It is never necessary
to ask forgiveness for an hon
orable deed. The truth of the
matter is—he owes you an
apology for making such an
ungentlemanly request. Do not
speak to him until such an
apology is made. He is not
such a good “catch” that you
must feel compelled to run af
ter him, or li»ten to his inde
cent remarks.
A M. D.—Will my husband find
a steady job soon If not, what
must we do?.
Ans:—Unsettled business con
ditions in your locality has
made ii extremely hard on the
working people during the
past few months. Iam sure
that these conditions will be
cleared up shortly. I think
that your husband will be
working regularly before the
end of May.
L. M. C—I spend all my time
thinking of the girl 1 love. Should
I ask her to marry me?
Ans;—That! would, be the
quickest way to learn where
you stand. She is^fond of you
and could soon learn to love
you if around each other any
length of time

Chicago Papers Picks All
Winners
Chicago, May 4 (C)J—The Chi
cago Defender, R. S. Abbott, edi
tor and publisher, announced edi
torially last week that all candi
dates backed by it in the recent
mayoralty election, in which May
or Edward J. Kelly was re-elect
ed, were victorious at the polls.
The paper said: "The election is
over. All the candidates who re
ceived the endorsement and active
support of the Chicago Defender
were overwhelmingly victorious.
We believe our faith will be jus
tified in the light of the acta and
behavior of those whom we helped
to elect. We want them to trans
late their platforms pledges in1®
actual accomplishments. We expect
them to serve the people, and not
special interests and great com
bines. We hope that tlhey will
bring pressure on those public uti
lities which have refused to em
ployes members of our race."
DO YOU REMEMBER '
I see in the local paper that a J
swell jockey is goin’ to ride here
and if he can boot em’ in here like
he boots em’ them on the coast,he
will burn the local track up. His
name is G. Dye. His record to
date shows that he weighs 106
lbs., had 136 mounts, 23 wins, 18
seconds, 8 thirds, unplaced 87
times, and a percentage of 17.
i Here is the name of another jock
ey who is going to ride here. His
record is not so hot But you re
member C. Bierman wasn't so hot
but he turned out to be a star ri
der out East. This boy is R. W.
Smitih. His record to date is:
weight 102, 8 mounts, 1 win. 1
second, no third, unplaced 6 times
and percentage 12, Protecting your
bets it frequently happens that a
player thinks the favorite in a
particular race is really a solid
bet. and that it should win. He may
however have a horse feeling that
some long shot in the same race
may bo a Kleeper and liable to
cornu through with a win to pay
off at box car figures. Right
thero he has a problem. If he
plays tho long shot and later sees
the favorite win he may feel that
he was foolish in trying to knock
down the horse that really fig
ured. Should he back the favorite
and then see it defeated by the
long shot, he feels like kicking
himself all over the place so the
question arises what to do?
One sucessful operator found,
himself confronted with this same
problem quite frequently. He is a
man who likes to take a chance
on a long shot but at the same
time he does not believe in play
ing two horses in the same race
but in this case he makes a nice
bet on the long shot and then bet
enough on the favorite to cover
the amount of his first wager. He
thereby protects his bet. If he bet
$20 on the long shot he bets en
ough to win $20 on the favorite
if the favoi-ite is 2 to 1 he bets
$10 on it. Then if it wins he breaks
even on the race. His real bet is
on .he long shot. The second bet
^ is simply insurance. He is not fi
guring on winning with the fa
vorite but he uses it to insure his
bet. There may be times when both
horses lose but that is very un
usual. On the other hand by cash
ing rather fresuently on horses
that pay real juicy prices this
player keeps ahead »o there is the
solution of playing horses in one
race. It can be done fans, it can
bo done!
Fans, do you remember a horse
by tho name of Chehalis who won
the last race on opening day last
year and the last race on the clos
ing day. Some coincidence. But
that shrewed horse player Travis
Dickerson had him both times. He
won and did he have fun oh boy!
Another shrewed player named
Charlie Martin had 5 winners in
one day and borrowed car-fare
home from the track. He sunk the
whole bank roll on Blind hope in
the sixth race and he finished sec
ond. Better luck next time old
pill and keep trying. Pretty soon
one of them good ones will poke
his beezer over the wire for you.

QfMAHA CASH COAL WINS
AGAIN
BASEBALL DOPE
After looking irer Soup Law
son’s ball club for the second time
I am more convinced that this
club will spring a pleasant sur
prise on the fans this season.
One rookie out Sunday caught
the eyes of the spectators as well
as myself and is none other than
B. bby Blair, a right hander who
has everything but experience and
I predict a bright future for him.
tho regulars were hitting the ball
very hard and fielding in grand
style. Keep your eye on this col
umn and watch for opening date
which is this coming Sunday May
7. The name of the club is the
United Cash Coal.
From what I observe so far
about the team! I do believe some
more young bUod is needed for
replacement in case? With about
5 youngsters signed and trained
by the well experienced players
that now are playing, what a team
that would be. Notice there seems
to be more harmony among the
boys now than ever before May
bo it is the manager. Well I hope
they cling together; one for all
and all for one. That’s the spirit
Lawson. That work out Sunday
was solid. Everybody was gay.
Mr. Milton said he just couldn't
wait until spring came around.
He wanted to get in his baseball,
togs. Since'spring arrived I notice
Mr. Wity>n is training on the
Billiard table.
And he realy needs a lots <<f
training. His highest run in 6
games was 3 One of the 3 was
Abraham, so come out Milt and
practice with the boys.
John Owens cavorting around
the infield like a spring chicken.
Come on John. Oh boy. you still
got what it takes.
Y^urs truly,
Richard Stanley
