H.—What is the fault that I have that makes my hus band tell me when he is angry that I don’t look as good to him as other women and there is something other women have that I don’t have. What should I do Ans: He’s full of steam, likes to blow off as well as show off. If you didn’t have charm, he wouldn’t have mar riaged you. The main thing % you need to guard against is * letting him get angry, keep him in a good humor if pos sible, and these little troubles will adjust themselves. Stop worrying about losing your husband for he loves you. M. E. W.—My friend and I are planning a Christmas wedding and wonder if I should go ahead with my plans, such as buying a wedding gown and everything else that goes with it? Ans; By the first of Nov ember your fiance will be in a position to know if his job is permanent or not, imuke your announcement at that time. Go ahead and begin your “hope chest’’ but don’t make a public announcement ^ just yet. ! F. A.—I sent my daughter a ticket a good while ago and I want to know if she got it or did someone else? A ns: She knows where the ticket went to, but she could not get a chance to use it when you sent it. It is indi cated to me that she is going to get in touch with you in a few months tiimle and will be able to explain her queer ac tions in detail. M. A.—My husband is a good worker and he likes to make things comfortable for me but he has a habit of gambling for plea sure. I feel his life is in danger >and I want advice. Tell me why people tell me my place is with my husband when I go home for a visit? Ans: Gambling is a very bad habit, but as long as he provided well for you nd tihe baby and is agreeable, you haven’t anything to complain about. I don’t think he is the type that will let gambling go to his ihead. He goes so far, and stops. He’s in no danger. People who advise you to spend more time with your husband are trying to help you. Your place is at home with him. A. H.—Please tell me if I will b§ able to get a settlement in full for the injury to my knee? Ans: No. I don’t think the law reads that way. You are to receive a certain sum each week for a stipulated num iber of weeks, it isn’t paid off at one time. Take care o' your health and this knee and in a few months time, you will be able to begin work again. R. C. B.— I am planning a course in sewing and I really have about everything bo make a success of this field. I>o you think I can make a living when I finish ? Ans: Indeed you can. You know quite well that you are talented and have the qualifi cations fco succeed as a seam tress and it is indicated to me that yoiu will open a Dress making Shop of your own when you get through your course. K. B.—I am poor and don’t have much money. I stay wor ried and afraid all the time. My poor little baby born this year has a rash and I don’t know what to do for her. Please help me? Ans: The child must be taken to a doctor. Under the circumstances, take her to the City Clinic for an examina tion, in a short time she will react to treatment and re cover, but it is imperative Ci&fRANK ' Saf ILOSOf.V ^OLAuREN R,. GERinGER. There are those who say the young people are not making use of their Bpportunities. There are those who say the world has gotten into such an economic state that the present generation does not have the opportunities that previous ones have had. Some people seem to be able to take hold of something and it will turn right out into a good proposition for them. Other people can take what looks like the same chances for success and never make any progress, if they last at it at all. People of one type will go into (••thing that doe* not promise hig in tomes and lots of honor, requiring ■ probably more nerve and good luck U an ability. The plodder, on the other hand, can cake a go of it only where hard work n#d economy and careful judgment Juakc the difference between success or failure. I Some, in any kind of work, will hit a hard pace for a while, working fast tad furious, letting nothing stop them, Bat wanting to drop it all and get ei»ar away from it between times. While others cannot work any other way but slow, and keep a steady grind rigut along regularly. It is a varied world, with all kinds of people in it. One is somewhat like you. Another is like me. Others are entirely different. How can one of us say for anotbef how or whut he should do to b« successful? that you carry her immedi ately. You are run down and you are worrying too much, when the baby gets better, you too will feel relieved. -0O0 NEGRO BEST SERVED BY KEEPING U S. OUT OF WAR, SAYS FORD New York, Oct. 26 (CNA)— “The Negro people of the United States can best fullfill tteir duty to themselves and to the demo cratic and peace forces in the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa and the West Indies by fighting to keep America out of j this imperalist war,” James W. Ford, executive secretary of the Harlem Division of the Commun ist Party, this week told ° general membership meeting at the Re naissance Casino. The meeting consisting of mem bers of all Communist sections in Harlem was built around the theme of how the Negro could help keep America out of war. “The Negro people want to preserve and extend their meager democratic rights,” Ford said. “They want jobs and security.” “They want to put an end to lynching and the thousands of in sult and humiliations which they forced to suffer under the infa mous system of Jim Crow, the living relic of Southern slavery, almost four score years after emancipation” -oOo I “CHARLIE” SPEARS ’EM UP WAY DOWN SOUTH (FOR ANP) THE HOODED NIGHT RID ERS rode through many sections of Darlington country, South Car olnia, last Friday and also visted nearby towns including Harts ville. After circling the court house in Darlinton, the procession of automobiles filler! with white pobed and hooded men stopped, and the mien alighted and formed a circle around a giant fiery cross which was lighted by one of the members of the party. Posters which said “White su premacy must be maintained; Ku Kl,ux rides again” were later tacked up throughout the city. THE COLUMBIA STATE South Carolina’s leading daily, on the editorial page Monday morning published "A Hint Kb Night Riders” and went on to say. “The State knows whereof it speaks when it says the federal government is not and will not be indifferent to intimidation, by whatever means, and much less indifferent to violence, against the personnel of any of its in M&tty iticexesiL... i Nja*. ^ ■■ . ■ ■ -— ■ “Ahoy, there! ... Do You Mind Giving Us a Push; We Can't Start Our Engines!" stitutions in South Carolina in cluded among which are the camps of the NY A. t “These camps -re tederftl agen cies, federally support'-d under federal administration. The appli cable statutes are ample to cover such offenses as the recent ‘night riding’ about the NYA camp in Lexington county. Should the federal government find it neces sary to assign ‘G-Men’ to inves tigation of such incidents the re sult would not only be, in all likelihood, the discomfiture to put j it mildly of the participants; 1 but also a lot of publicity in the North which would be consideiialy 1 less than beneficial to South Carolina. The State here speaks in general terms but out of know ledge. Will persons addicted to hoot-and-i\>be terrorizing take a hint while will serve.’’ THE BOYS YOU NEVER SEE are around you everyday and they know exactly what is going | on. Know more about what is going on in South Carolina than the “night riders” know. You can’t spot them either? It may be your next door neighbor. Even their wives and relatives don’t know. They never make an ar rest personally, (but they get you, and brother, when they get you, then you’ve really been ‘coteh’ and the writer knows whereof he speaks, too. THE STATE OF KANSAS is often the butt of over-recurring jokes on account of its bonedny dom being a pioneering state in the cause of prohibition. But Kansas has 54 counties without any insane; 54 counties without any feeble-minded; 96 counties without any pool-house; 53 coun ties withoaj, any persons in jail; and 56 counties without any rep resentatives in the state peniten tiary. Now by golly laugh that off. SMALL TOWN NEWS In a coux-t trial about 20 miles from my home the other day a “witch doctor” told the defendant that a spell had been cast which would prohibit any witness testi fying against him in his trial on a charge of reckless homicide. And the first witness had a stroke and was paralyzed before he could complete his testimony. The other state’s witnesses hur riedly left the courthouse before they could be called to the stand.
