Box, 11, Atlanta, Georgia i B- W.—I am a boy 16. I have a* friend but not a close friend at all. He used to didn’t even speak to me ever when I spoke to him so 1 quit speaking. His two sisters are crazy about music and both play and the boy ploys bdt not very good. I play better than eith er of the three. His sisters like me pretty good so does he now. What do you think about him? Do you think I’m moder than either of them? I succeed in everything I do but he don’t succeed in anything much. Ans; This boy and his sisters like you fine bt<t they are jealous of you too-they realize you are more talented than they are but don’t let it go to your head- The boy own’t be as close a pal to you as the two girls as they are nuts about you. Your gift of music is going to be the means of your making lo)ts of nice friendships • • continue your practicing. R. S. M.—Kind sir I am writing you again as I am thinking about taking another trip. What do you think about it? I be nearly crazy as I stay worried so much and I stay angry with the boys too and I want to know what to do? Ans: Give up the idea of the trip as this isn’t going to change conditions for you. I am honest in saying that you are going to have to overcome this tendency to want to travel and stay on the go all of the time. Your two boys need you there at home with them. The next time you feel the urge to go-pack a lunch and take the boys o na picnic. You are humor ing yourself too much and it isn’t good for you either. A. L. B-—I am a Teader of your column and I want to know does the boy I love really believe the fibs I told him? Ans: No, you didn’t fool him altogether. He believed only a part of what you told him altho he is entidely too smart to let y°u doubt him for one minute. It wonlt be many weeks before you get the straight on how he feels toward you. L. G—I am a poor hard working woman and I need help. Tell me why muy husband always wants to fight me when he is angry and where did he get the pistol he had the other nighlt ? Ans: Te gun was loaned to him and he will have to return it to its owned immediately. Your husband is just an overbearing type who wants to feel he is boss .... the only way he can prove his superiority is to indulge in a fist fight. Make your self scarce ar ound him when he gets up in a fit of temper. Reason with him if you can and try to keep him from getting angry as he doesn’t mean, any harm but seems to lose his head. W. M. B.— have been reading your column and enjoy it very much. Will I be able to build my house this year? Ans: It is indicated to me that you will be delayed for quite some time with your building. Keep adding to the bank account so that you can eventually erect this build ing. A. L. R.— My husband and I have been married for 3 years and sometime I donlt think he cares for me and I believe he is tired of me. Now occasionall I see anoth er man who is awfully nice and I wish to know if I should keep see ing him? Ans: How well you know the answer to your problems, but you would never admit it to yourself that you were doing wrong. Well I will tell you that you are making a mistake to try to coritinue see ing this man and it will mean your separating from your husband if you k«ep it up. You certainly don’t expect him to be true to you if you aren’t living true to him.. ..the few moments of fun you have on the side isn’t going to be worth the heart break and un happiness you will have if you do not stop.

SMALL HOUSES TO BE GAINED PROM DORMS DEFENSE BUILDINGS WILL BE RE-ERECTED AS FARM DWELLINGS Such will be one of the post em ergency stories relating a lasting benefit ito accrue from the present feverish effort to house workers concentrated at vital defense in dustries. For many of the dormitories be ing completed under Farm Secur ity Administration direction in various parts of the nation are de signed to be demounted later and converted into small houses for tenant farmers and other low in come groups- Plans for these houses of the future were drawn by FSA architects even before starting work on the barracks. Outstanding example of the double purpose biuldings are the 14 dormitories jusft. completed at San Diego, Calif., to house 1,000 workers. These buildings are al plywood with inside and outside walls comprised of four by eight foot sections, prefabricated in shops of a house ‘manufacturing plant.” , MATERIAL IS SAVED Because the walls and floors are of plywood panels, FSA officials anticipate nearly 100 percent sal vage of materials when the dorm itories are disassembled. Re-er ection of the sections will be into four room farm houses and similar small dwellings possibly located far from present barracks. When permanent dwellings are erected, the sections probably will be glued together; the panels al ready are glued to framework, a systm of construction rapidly gaining acceptance. Finished houses will be usuable and durable. The inner walls of fir plywood easily can be papered painted or stained, exteriors, painted Incidentally, this type construc tion of the dormitories also serv es admirably the current need as speed of erection is a paramount consideration in the defense hous ing program. These demountable barracks were scheduled for er ection in 110 days; they were fin ished in 60 days. ^LIVING ROOMS GET Ci ILORFUL FURNISH INGS— SUBDUED WALL TINTS IN TAINED PANELS AFFORD DISTINCTION There’s a new brightness to in teriors—to dining and living rooms particularly. And for the most part of comes through introduction of colorful furniture such as shovdjn in rec ently opened rooms at the Rocke feller Home Center ait New York. Here, as in many other carefully planned modern homes, sparkle of the furnishings is subdued just enough by soft tones in the walls and carpeting. Complmentary, the bright pieces and neutral sur roundings foster an atmosphere both fresh and pleasant. Walls of such rooms, when fin ished with smooth surfaces and dear cut dimensions, add much to i:he over-all appearance of subtle! distinction. To attain the desired neutral walls, fir plywood is being used increasingly and finished inj such light stains as palm green, padre brown, quaker grey or tur quois blue. FAINT PANEL PATTERNS Actually, the method now fol lowed to gain the mellow tones on the paneled interiors is as new as the spirit to which ft contributes. The system is based on first ap plying a thin coat of wliite under coater to subdue grain contrast. When the color coat is applied, the fir plywood grain provides a deli cate pattern which contributes to th equiet charm of the room. In panelling the walls and ceil ings faint lines frequently are made by accentuating slightly the joinjts with a vee at edges. Horiz ontal or vertical lines can be at tained to harmonize or contrast with other aspects of the room to bring a balanced arrangement. DEAN DIXON CONDUCTS PHILHARMONIC AT LEWIS OHN STADIUM New York. Aug. 24 (by Carl Di ton for ANP)—Dean Dixon, the young but distinguished Negro symphonic conductor, conducted the internationally famous Phil harmonic Symphony orchestra Sunday night before last alt the Lewisohn stadium. This is the first time in the history of the or ganization that a Negro has so of j ficiated, and the event signalized ' a most welcome milestone in the I musical progress of the race. Because of a very obvious lack of d''ama and spurious show, the concept may not have greatly im pressed many of those who were present. But those who knew Mr. Dixon more or ehtoetaoinshr hshh Dixon more or less .intimately have perceived that beside a head ful of musical wisdom he possess es as uncanny amount of common sense and foresight, certainly for one who has climbed into the pub-s lie limelight so rapidly these past few months. Speaking more to the point, Mr. Dixon would have displayed great lack of discretion had he literally hurled his baton! back and forth through the air in meaningless motions, thus endan gering his control of the players even for a second and spoiling the flow of his otherwise lucid read ings. Mr. Dixon chose for his display the Berliez overture to “Beneven utn Cellini”, the scholarlp Brahms symphony No. 1 in c minor. The charming and colorful Daikeong Lee prelude and Hula (firsft time at the stadium), am Franko’s ar rangement of the Black Arioso for strings from Cantata No. 156, the Mendelssohn Scherzo from “Mid summer Night’s Dream”, and the Liszt “Les Preludes”.

May we say in dosing that only in the final number may one have discerned the hand of youth (and we speak of this not at all in condemnaltion of the conductor’s age and naturally limited exper ience). Some of the less import ant passages were greatly slow ed in tempo, whereas the more im portant passages, dramatically, were quickened. The large crowd was generous with repeated recalls and shared some of its appreciation with Mr. Lee, a Chinese Hawaiian compos er “find” of the Juilliard which has developed so many of the mus ically talented, including, of course Mr. Dixon himself. —. » i A Winning Cookie —— By Frances Lee Barton ..
