THIS WEEK IN RELIGION AND
THOUGHT
Robert L. Moody
The Year. 1940—
This year will be very important
for two things: (1) It is Presiden
tial election time and (2) the time
to take United States Census. Much
need not be said about the election
but one point should be stressed,
namely: read and study the prob
lems at issue and endeavor to vote
for the pest program that will
immediately solve the problems.
It will be wise to begin now to
study the real facts before poli
tical "crack pots” begin to lie and
stretch the facts.
Special attention should be given
the census. We should not hesitate
to give all truthful information
asked by the census taker. This
information is not to work against
your job, political or social free
dom, but it is for the general wel
fare of the government and all of
the people. Intelligent government
and society depends upon intelli
gent citizens. It is our duty to
know and reveal the facts.
The past year has been a very
eventful one. War, political intri
gues, earthquakes and economic
upheavals had serious effects. Yet
we have much to be grateful for
and greet this new year with much
joy and hope.

MY NEW 1940 ASTROLOGY
READINGS ARE READY
M. F.—My sister was killed
and her insurance policy was
made out to me and I wish to
know if I am going to collect this
insurance or it is worthwhile try
ing?
Ans: I do not see any
money coming to you through
this particular source. At the
time of her death, there
seems to have been some mix
up concerning her policy. If
the company was supposed to
have paid the claim, it would
have been done before this
length of time.
B. L. H.—I love this man and
he won’t say a word about it to
and have spats and can’t get
me. We are always on the outs
along but I love him just the
same. If I had this man I know
I could make a man out of him
so tell me if we will marry ?
Ans: No, never. He isn't
the least bit interested in
marrying and you two just
can’t get along as you are
now, and a marriage wouldn't
be advisable. I suggest that
you make some nice desirable
friends and get out and have
some fun.
%
B. L. W.—I want your advice
on this problem. I am going with
a young man that I care a lots
for. He has his divorce pending
in court now and is expecting to
be divorced shortly. Now is it
all right to keep company with
him?
Ans: There is no reason
why you shouldn’t keep com
pany with this young man
since he has started his di
vorce proceedings. This
young man’s plans for the
future include you. You two
will be very happy together.
J. F.—Am I in delicate state?
I mean in family way?
Ans: Medical examination
will reveal this suspicion to
be true.
P. R. R.—It just looks like
me and my husband go deeper
in debt. Me and the kids need ^
clothes and we don’t have any
money. What can I do to help
out?
Ans: If you will write and
let me know if you are in
terested, I can put you in
touch with some special ad
vertising work that will ena
ble you to make enough
money to buy you and the
kids clothes. Please enclose a
velope for this service.
R. W.—My husband runs a
business and can’t stay at home
any at all at night and I wish
to know if he loves me or not?
Ans: He loves you, but it
is a rather selfish love. You
are allowing him entirely too
much freedom. Cut out this
running out at night and
make him stay at home and
act the part of a man. If he
continues this way he will
get into some mischief.
_ j
M. J. Y.—Is this beautiful girl |
friend that I run around with
true and can I trust her all right.
Does my boy friend care for me?
Ans: Your chum does ad
mire you and wants to be
your pal, but she too is in
terested in your boy friend
and I afraid that if you two
aren’t very broad minded,
you will be'come enemies.
Both of you are too young
to fall out about your boy
friend.
C. O.—Will I ever to able to
get this girl back that I used to
have?
Ans: No she will never be
your friend again. You had
better stop thinking about
her.
I wish all my readers a pros
perous and successful New Year
in 1940.
FASHIONETTE
By Hazel L. Griggs for ANP
Party Frocks Swing in 1940 in the
Grand Manner
As romantic as mistletoe and as
gay as New Year’s Eve itself were
the gala occasion frocks seen
around town last week. Each new
affair seemed to top the previous
one for sparkle, brilliance and
beauty, and glamour reigned su
preme in the light-hearted fashion
world.
Among the dancing fashions, net
led all other materials for real
popularity. Frothy, billowing skirts
in jewel-tones and much like those
of ballet dancers, swished their
way around the floors of most of
the gay ballrooms, circling into
yards and yards of dancing miles.
In spite of the tremendous build
up for covered-up styles in party
frocks, off-shoulder models were
much in evidence, revealing lovely
coffee-and-cream shoulders. A par
ticularly entrancing model of this
type was the creation of white net
with a Harlequin ruching circling
the shoulders, worn by a pretty
deb about town. The ruching, as
crisp and smart as could be was
repeated in a design on the vol
uminous skirt.
Another love of a net was the
real fashion parade number of Cy
press green combined with cerise
and still another whirling Colum
bine was as lovely as a fantasy in
a rainbow-hued paneled skirt of
coral, turquoise and yellow topped
by a pale blue bodice.
Swirling silk chiffon also was
popular and appealing. Draped in
to Grecian gowns of flowing skirts
and graceful bodices, they were a
triumph on slim figures.
Taffeta, plain, brocaded, em
broidered and threated with gold
or silver tracings sparkled under
Yuletide lights in portrait styled
gowns. High bosoms and wasp
waists were the rule here. Little
puffed or cap sleeves covered the
shoulders and modest decolletages
were demure and consistent with
the dress type.
Little sequin jackets sparkled
like the star atop the Christmas
tree as they gleamed above pic
turesque velvet skirts. Evening
sweaters also were popular in
similar combinations.
Wedge-soled slippers proved to
be the favored type of footgear,
and no wonder, they are so youth
ful and so comfortable. They were,
seen in gold and silver kid- in satin
and varied other materials—usual
ly the simple sandal styles. At the
other extreme were skyscraper
heels, very pert flashing beneath
flouncing skirts.
Black velvet led the field in
evening wraps, but scarlet, wine
and other shades were also seen.
Many wraps had hoods’—nice to
keep the curls in place and snug
against chill winds. Hoods were
worn by many interesting women,
and were very dramatic as they
sparkled with whinestones or se
quins. Flowers, jeweled clips and
piquant bows to match dresses
were other hair adornments.

NAVAL NOTES r
Data recently released by the
Navy Department regarding the
educational status of men enlisted
in the Navy during the past three
years indicate that these men are
above the pre-depression group
(men tested in 1929) in general 1
intelligence, mechanical aptitude,
years of school completed, and in
ability to express themselves in
correct English.
These figures disclose the fact
that only 13.2 percent of the men
enlisted in the representative,
months of June and December 1939
(Over 2,000 men) had had no high
school instruction, that 39 percent
had just completed high school,
and that 2.7 percent had attended
college.
“On Norman ships of war in
the twelfth century, wooden towers
were placed on the main deck to
fight from. The one forward was
the forward castle and the other,
the after castle| The after castles
have long since disappeared from
naval vessels but the forecastles
still survives.
Did you know that Walter Win
chell got his start in the Navy. He
enlisted in 1917 and was assigned a
secretarial role aboard the USS
ISIS. He remained aboard until
the cessation of hostilities, when
he started putting his line in print.
He is now a Lieutenant in the
Naval Reserve.
Due to the large expansion in
the Navy, the number of vacancies
in petty officer ratings in all
branches will increase greatly.
Greater opportunity of advance
ment in the many technical fields
will result, since due to the trade
training and skill necessary to
operate our modern ships, almost
half of all men in the Navy must
be petty officers in the higher pay
grades.
CHALLENGE TO NEGRO
WOMANHOOD
Sane Thinking, Group Solidarity,
And UHe of the Hallot Are
Potent Weapons
No race can be stronger than
its women—Those home-makers
and home builders in whose hands
rests the destiny of a people, who
serve quietly, bravely, and without
complaint—whose toil makes it
possible for children to live in
comfort and happiness, and for
brothers, sons, fathers and hus
bands to face the world with cou
rage and vigor in the knowledge
that there is someone at home who
cares, and who understands; whose
inspiration makes the hard way
easy and whose companionship
makes the rough way smooth—The
Women whose unselfishness makes
possible the great opportunities
for the youth of a race, oppor
tunity for education, for advance
ment, for achievement—opportuni
ty to enjoy the things that were
denied their mothers when they
were young.
Had it not been for the women
of the Negro race who have
dreamed their dreams, made their
struggles and sacrifices, and kept
their homes and their families to
gether, even in the face of terri
fic odds and tremendous difficul
ties, and unbelievable problems,
the racial progress made in the
three hundred years of the Negro’s
sojourn in America could never
have been possible.
Without the mothers of our race
Negro men and women of whose
achievements we boast, and to
whom we point with pride, could
never have had the inspiration, or
the courage to overcome the dif
ficulties that beset their paths, to

win their way to fame and per
sonal glory.
The Women
Grave problems confront women
today. What are we to do about
them? With conflict everywhere
about us—with racial antagonism
growing more vicious, not only
within our Nation, but among the
Nations of the world—with preju
dice, hate, war and greed rampant
with disease and poverty attack
ing us on every hand—with our
civil rights limited and, sometimes,
denied us altogether—with our'
hard won economic independence
gradually slipping from us with in
creasing loss of jobs, of income,
and of opportunity itself—with our
young people losing morals and
courage in face of present-day
temptations—What arc we, the
women of Today, to do about this?
Shall we be less strong in facing
our problems than were our moth
ers before us?
Shall we back down, or shall we
face about and meet these prob
lems squarely with the courage
that was typical of those others
who have gone before us?
Racial Self-Respect
How are we to achieve and main
tain now an adequate racial self
respect? How are we to set up
standards of wholesome communi
ty life, in order that our boys and
girls today might develop into
wholesome manhood and woman
hood ?
In the answers to these ques
tions lies today's challenge to the
Negro womanhood of America, It
is for us, the women, to insist upon,
and to recognize our community
responsibilities.
We must acquaint ourselves,
fully, and intelligently, with the
civic problems abous us, and the
effects of these problems upon our
homes and our families.
Had Hecomes Worse
We cannot, we dare not, sit
quietly by and wait for someone
else to come along and solve these
problems for us. We must know,
once and for all time, that what
ever affects the community as a
whole, for better or for worse,
affects every single member of
that community regardless of race
or creed. If it be good, the good
I comes to us all. If it be bad, the
bad becomes worse for us, racially.
We must know —and never lose
| sight of the fact that our most po
tent weapons in community affairs
are intelligent, sane thinking,
group solidarity, and the use of
the ballot, by which we may em
phasize and exercise our complete
right to, and responsibilities of,
citizenship.
We must learn to interpret our
selves to each other—to make our
young people know and appreciate
the fact that they have behind
them a record of racial achieve
ment of which they may well be
proud.

A Prominent Business
Woman Praises Mme.C. J.
Walker’s Preparations
‘‘I use Mme. C. J. Walker's
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation," stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Crown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result cf
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won
derful preparations are sold by
Walker Beauticians and Drug
Stores everywhere, or you can

Mfg. Company, direct. Address:

apolis, Indiana.
