F. B. B,—I married my second
husband in June. He isn’t sat
isfied and don’t tell the truth.
Shall I depend on him Does he
own his own home or buying one?
Ans: It’s supposed to be his,
but the loan companies own more
of it than he does. Sure he de
ceived you, led you to believe that
he was “Mr. Gotrocks” and you
jumped at the chance to marry
him. Try to make the best of
your marriage, for after you get
to know and understand your hus
bands ways a little better you will
find that he’s not such a bad guy
after all.
*****
C. E. B.—Dear Advisor: I read
your column ev©Ty week and I
want you to answer this one for
me please. I am expecting some
money so please tell me if I will
make it better for my family af
ter I get it ?
Ans: Most certainly, for your
plan to make a change of cities
is a good one and the money can
be spent in no wiser way. You
are in a rut at your present loca
tion and your whole fomily is dis
satisfied- .. - so now that you have
an opportunity to “pull out”
make the most of it.
*****
P. T.—I would like to know If
my sister has been voodooed. She
is terribly in love with a young
man and doesn’t know why.
Ans: She’ll get over her pres
ent attack. The only thing the
matter with your sister is that
the dd “love bug” bit her. It
gets us all sooner or later. Some
girls seem to fall harder for boys
than others, and since your sister
is a very emotional type-..-she’s
truly love sick.
*****
S. B. R.—What is wrong with
me, I can not make friends, it
seems none likes me. They seem
to like me for awhile and then drop
me all at once. Even my husband
seems to hate me at times. I try
to be true and live a straight life
but everybody picks on me. I
just stay blue and melancholy all
the time.
Ans: No wonder you haven’t
got a friend in the world. Peo
ple don’t like to associate with
folks that are forever cry-baby
ing about that “nobody cares a
bout me stuff.” You never will
be able to hold a friend if you in
tend to go thru the world pitying
yourself all the livelong day. It
would do you good to bust out and
“pitch a big one” when you get to
feeling too low down.
S- A. J.—I am in £he house with
an old boy and I believe I really
*ove him although I don’t think I
love him as much as I used to. I
used to take over him too much.
I don’t do that now. He does
more of that to me now. He us
ed to not make over me at all.
Would he marry me if I asked him
too?
Ans: He might, .why not ask
him. Since he appeals to you aQd
seems to care a great deal for you
then I am sure you would both be
happier as man and wife.
*****
DISGUSTED:— It seems that
I am bad luck to myself and every
one else. I stay with my uncle
and aunt and sometimes I think
they are plain mean. If I go out
with the boys its a holler, if I go
to the neighbors house its a holler
....it seems nothing I do satis
fies. Am I too quick to fly off the
handle at things?
Ans: Dam right you are, and
especially when you don’t get your
own way. I think our aunt and
uncle are only trying to do their
best. They feel that you still do
not know how to handle yourself
around boys and they do not want
you getting into any trouble. In
this they are obsolutely right for

*****
P- H.—My husband and I don’t
get along at all since he bought a
car. He treats me like a dog, he
gambles and drinks and throws
his money away on women. What
shall I do?
Ans: You can trace your
(trouble to the car. Why not put
your foot down and refuse to
spend anymore of your hard earn
ed money to pay for it. Its do
ing you no good and your husband
can’t keep the notes up himself.

SEVENTEEN NEW' COLORED
BAND ARE AUTHORIZED
The Army of the United Stat
es will have seventeen new bands,
composed of colored personnel, by
September 15, the War Depart
ment announced today.
The bands will be organized at
thirteen Colored Replacement
Training Centers and by four Col
ored regiments. They will consist
of the standard twenty-eight piec
es and band members will receive
the usual ratings in accordance
with existing tables of organizat
ion.
Sufficient personnel from other
Army posts will be sent to the reg
iments and the Colored Replace
ment Training Centers where the
new bands are being organized so
that a nucleus of band musicians
will be available for training pur
poses.
Effective September 1, the fol
lowing Colored Regimental bands
are authorized. Cadres will be
furnished by units listed after
each band.

Effective September 15, the fol
-
mous thought of the Committee that a
continuation of the discussion would
provide further exploration into the
opportunities for service in the nations
defense program.
Further evidence of the approp
riatness of the subject is shown in the
recent executive order issued by Pres
ident Roosevelt calling upon defense
industries to abolish discrimination in
the employment of Negro skilled wor
kers.
Thus the problem of integration
now gives way to the more serious
problem of preparation. And the phil
osophy of Booker T. Washington of
putting “brains and skill into the com
mon occupations of life” assumes a
new and virile importance.
Under the stress of the present
situation, Tuskegee’s third president,
Dr. F. D. Patterson warns that “unless
some Negroes are trained in the cap
acity of specialists in technology areas
the Negro people as a whole will re
main outside of the main stream of A
merican development”.
If Negro business is to prosper
and expand it must have not only cap
able management, but also a support
ing clientele on industrial payrolls or
otherwise steadily and gainfully em
ployed.
Horace R. Cayton, columnist in
the Pittsburgh Courier calls attention^
to Negro trade unionists as a poten
tial and undeveloped market and is “a
mazed that this relatively large field”
has not been systematical solicited by
Negro business.
The comments quoted all indicate
a convergence upon the necessity for a
re-valuation of our education from the
standpoint of preparation for indust
rial opportunities and the training for
business pursuits which will better en
able those thus engaged to visualize
all possible markets for growth and
expansion and successfully to devel
ope them.
It was with these broad objectiv
es that the convention theme was sel
ected and progressive educators and
business men and women will take
part in the discussions.

Center bands will be organized,
Cadres will be furnished by units
listed after each band.
