H. J.— Dear Sir, I take the pa
per just for your column. I was
married and left my husband. Met
up with a man I loved and he had
to leave. Well, he didn’t return
and I staited with his cousin. Now
after nine years he i« back and it
is breaking our hearts because we,
can’t be together, as he married i
a woman he hates while away, j
Now must we leave the two we are
with and marry as people should
or must we kill ourselves togeth
er then nobody could seperabe
Ans: I actually believe you
are desperate. Pours is a
mixed up off air and there
is no need to tell you to for
get one another. If you both
feel that you can’t go on as
you are doing now, then leave
your present mates and live
separately for six months or
more. Then if you still feel
that you can’t do without one
another, you would have had
f
time to get your divorces
and try your luck together.
D. d _ will I have to go to
work if I umrry this boy that
I a mgoing with now?
Ans: You certainly would
HOUSEWORK as well as out
side employment for a good
portion of the time. You are
not ready to marry yet, give
up the idea.
c. H. —Will I learn to pick the
guitar and be popular in the field
of guitar music ?
Ans: You already have a
good start toward this end -
keep up your hours of prac
ticing and you will be real
good in a couple of years.
L. M.— I am about to become a
mother. The boy promised to miar
ry me but he suddenly changed
his mind and I wir.hh to know
what I should do?
Ans: Have a member of your
family talk with this boy and
see if they can’t persuade him
to give your child a name. If
ho refuses, then you will have
to handle the situation legally.
W. M.— I lost my regular job
and I have been given a job as
a salesman and I wishh to know
could I be successful in this field.
What is your price for a private
reading ?
Ans: This opportunity that
has just been presented to you
will be the means of your get
ing on your feet again. Work
hard and long hours too if
necessary for you have the
personality of a salesman.
Send a quarter for my New
Astrology Reading if you like.
Also your full name, bdrth
date, and corirect address with
your three questions for my
free opinion.
C. C.— Why did my husband
leave me so suddenly on a certain
Sunday evenin grecently?
Ans. He had a job washing
down a kitchen wall, and it
had to be done on Sunday or
not at all. He wasn’t pulling
a fast joke on you this partic
ular time.
E. A. H.— lhave a twelve room
house which I wish to turn into an
apartment and wish to know if I
will be successful.
Ans: Your plans are worthy
ones and yo uwill be able to re
alize a good income from the
apartments. Arange them co
zy, attractive and small. It is
better to cater to couples who
both work instead of families
with children.

SURINAM AND CURACAO
The Kingdom of the Netherlands
(Holland) and Its colonies form one
of philately’s most Important
groups. Most of the stamps are In
expensive yet many have a high
artistic value, especially the post
age and semi-postals of the past
decade. The Dutch colonial pos
sessions in the Western Hemi
sphere are but two In number—
SURINAM (sometimes called Dutch
Guiana) on the north coast of
South America, and CURACAO, a
group of Islands In the Caribbean
Sea oft the coast of Venezuela.
This latter colony also includes the
Island of Aruba which, in recent
years, has attained great impor
tance as the seat of a huge refinery
of the Standard Oil Company.
IThe stamp issues of SURINAM
Include about 170 major postal
Items as well as seven sets of semi
postals, seven of postage dues and
two groups of air malls. Tfce head
of Queen WUhelmina Is featured on
a majority of the stamps of SURI
NAM Issued after 1892 and the only
commemorative listed Is the 6c
orange stamp of 1933 In honor of
the 400th anniversary of Prince
William of Orange (William the
Silent.)
CURACAO stamps are, In general,
similar In appearance to those of
SURINAM and both groups re- 1
semble greatly the stamps of the
mother country, Holland. In addi
tion to the commemorative of Wil- ,
Ham the Silent another set. Issued
In 1934, commemorates the third
centenary of the founding of the
colony. This latter consists of
seventeen Items, from 1 cent to 2.50
gulden, and Includes six colorful
designs.

It is good to realize that in
recent years Negro genius and
much race talent and brilliancy
has been given due recognition.
It was not so many years ago
when the only mention of No- '*
groes in the whit* press related
to crime, ami his photograph was
unthinkable—unless it was a
“necktie party.”
Dr. Carver’s ••spittin’ image”
in The New York Times and his
dominance of the news article on
the Roosevelt Medal stii'onjfly
indicates his superior inteKat to
the world of science. Specifically
th i certain fields associated with
the career of former President
Theodore Roosevelt,
Opportunities to earn great
wealth tHrtu employment with
large corporations were repeat
edly turned down by Dr. Carver
who insisted upon remaining at
Tuskegee and actually GIVING
AWAY his scientific secrets and
knowledge for the lasting bene
fit of not only the South but of
the Nation land the world. He
often said fliut God gave him
the knowledge of how to get 285
useful products fiom the peanut
and 118 from the sweet potato,
that he had no right to sell this
knowledge. Materialists would
criticise this viewpoint, but how
can you prove him wrong?
This genius of our race is in

matters; visitors slept with fri

Mr. Theodore attributed the loss
to bad publicity, high admission
fee to the Fair, national WPA
dismissals and a national and
local warning to whites to “stay
away from Harlem.” Employ
ment discrimination at the Fair
was also an important element,
he added, in keeping away col
