J.—When we first started, I was nothing but “peaches” and he always carried me out once or twice a week- We were engaged to marry about last Christmas and he broke the engagement and yet he says he still loves me. Do you think I should fool with him any longer? Ans: No, I really do not. Peo ple who are in love do not break engagements and act indifferent as your beau is acting....he has grown tired of you I think. Why don’t you begin making some new friends as ou are no longer engag ed ar,d he has no right to expect you to go with him only. G- L.—What is wrong with me and what can I do? Ans: Go to the doctor and let him lock you over thoroughly. He will nave a very pleasant surprise for you I fear. P. J. J.—My cousin is interest ed in getting me to move into the house with her Do you think this wouh be the best plan for me? Ans- At the present time you seem %o well satisfied where you are a: d I really can’t see where you would profit any at all to go to the extra expense of moving. S'tuated as you are now, you have no one to worry you and you can go and do as you like-If you were to move with your cousin.. t’r«re is always that possibility of you two not getting along. C- B. D.—How can I get rid of my husband? My doctor tells me that he isn’t good for my healt.T. My husband said he had rather see me dead than to give me up so please give my problem your very best thought. Ang: Aren’t you jumping at conclusions a bit....why isn’t it healthy for you to live with your husband You married him, to take him for better or worse ani any doctor that would advise your to leave him because of his health surely must not realize that you still love yiur husband and that ■would be a cowardly thing to do. If your husband isn’t well... - take him to the city clinic and see if he can’t be helped. Do not run off and leave him right now. W- C.— want to marry but I don’t know whether my job will hold out or not? I wouldn’t want to be married and get out of a Jod. Help me. Ans: Very few people are able to know definitely that their jobs are safe, but the company you are with is reliable, and you have been with them three years so 1 would assume that it was perm anent.

My mother is ill in the hospital and I have a small job after school with just barely enough pay to got by on and I don’t have time to study- I feel that I am on my way to failure. Tell me what to do? Ans: Do not allow yourself to fail this late in the day. It is necessary for you to work so con tinue on the job.

SHARPLY WORDED PROTEST ADDRESSED AGAINST “INEX CUSABLE” DELAY IN HOUS ING NEGRO WORKERS New York, N. Y., October 13— The National Urban League ad dressed a sharply worded proteit to John M. Camody, Federal Works Administrator, against ‘ in excusable delay” in providing de fense housing accommodations-for Negro workers. Lester B- Gran ger, Assistant Executive Secret ary of the League, stated in a let ter addressed to the Washington official that “in many communit ies, it ppears that housing for Ne groes is deliberately withheld while facilities are being provided for white workers with the utmost speed.” “These facts, if true,” the Urban League executive decl ared, “present and intolerable sit uation in view of the proven need for housing of Negro workers and the allocation of funds for that purpose by the Federal Govern ment.’ Granger charged that plans for a project in Buffalo, N. York, which were approved near ly three months ago have been sabotaged by a ring of local polit icians reflecting the^sentiment ex pressed in mass meetings held in Polish neighborhoods adjacent tr the sites chosen for a Negro de fense housing project. Congress man Beiter and Mayor Holling were specifically named as among those who have conspired to blocl action. Characterizing these ac ivities as “local politics on a ward heeler level,” Granger urged that the Federal Works Administrator refuse to be ‘‘infuenced by provinc ial intolerance.” He commended the Federal Works Agency for a hithertofore fair play policy in dealing with American citizens of all racial groups, but warned that “retreat from an established posi tion because of political intrigue and racial prejudice worthy of Hit ler’s Germany” would really con stitute sabotage if a vital defense program. At the offices of the National Urban League, officials pointed out that in the usual defense houa ing project, actual construction is begun within thirty to forty days after initial clans have been ap proved. In the case of the Buf falo project for Negro wlorkers, no progress can be reported after ncorly three mj uX negoc'at'oj, although the Fe l n al Works Ag ency has had ample authority for brving begun construction many weeks ago- Reference was made tj the refusl of United States Sen as or Mead to take a public stand in this matter. Negro citizens in Buffalo, in fact, charge that Mead h ts rctually u-rd his influence i e c: 1y in suppo t of Beiter nd Hol lij » .1 was pome?.: •m1:, aiso, cna: tn. Buffalo sit 'afu>n is only a ie f-ec'/on of simila. conditions that nao developed in other parts cf the. country- In Oetf ’it, Michigan, iota priests hav; whipped up their • h te cingregacic s to a storm of protest against the housing of Negro workers in any suitable .site. In many of these cases, the sites chosen by the Federal Government have actually been on vacant land far removed from neighborhoods where opposing petitioners reside. ‘ There is no doubt”, declared Lea gue officials, “that secret influ ences are being exerted against Housing Negro workers who have obtained jobs in national defense It is the second line of battle est ablished by those who wish to bar Negro citizens from making their proper contribution to the cause c-f National defense.

That would be rather funny thing to do Yet that is the way it seems, Must I be in debt to you for that I ne / er bought? Is a kinship with such low foreboding fraught? Such is far beyond my dreams. If I have to pay because you’re kin to me Let us set aside that kin and strangers be; I believe that is the cure For, by every twinkling star that shin es above, There is no one rich enough to purch ase love i Perfect love which will endure --- 1 i | itiin is orgnized by one or another of the ‘hate groups’ which have consistently opposed national de fense and national unity.” . *. •‘WlaXjuis^Ovarwrity BEflUTy^RomflncE HS^^^SSEIiSVc The larieuse Beauty Bureau was established by the 1 Godefroy Manufacturing Company to study methods of preserving women's natural beauty, and to make the results of this research available to the public A friend of mine once told me that the only time she really rested was in bed when she was recuper ating from an illness. Then, forced by circumstances, she actually re laxed and made the most of her opportunity to forget—if only for a few days—the duties and cares that occupied her waking hours every day. She was a smart woman because she had learned to turn tedious moments Into benefits. Here’s how she did it: First, she cleansed the polish off her nails. Next, she applied a good hand lotion to her hands, and little pads of cotton saturated with oil to her nails to soften the cuticle so that when she again was ready to be seen in public, her hands would be smooth and feminine looking, her nails pliable and in good condition. For ten or fifteen minutes three times a day, she lay napping with small squares of cotton wetted with warm boric acid solution on ner eyelids. The soothing effect derived from this trick resulted in brighter eyes, with no red or blood-shot streaks to detract from their beauty. Moreover, because her eyes were encouraged to rest, the fatigue lines and circles around them gradually disappeared completely. She tried giving herself simple facials and found them quite suc cessful and easy to administer. She used a good cream, and allowed it plenty of time to seep into the pores. Then while she slept, while her body regained the strength it needed, she let these little beauty methods do their work — AND WITH AMAZING SUCCESS! After only a few days of con valescing, my friend went back to her dally duties not only with her health fortified but with her beauty improved too. Wise woman! It is, Indeed, a simple and easy procedure—It worked with excel lent results for a woman over forty five, and it can do the same for you. Frankly, the benefit accruing there from far exceeds the amount of ef fort put Into it. Next time you are Indisposed to the point of having to go to bed, don’t fret and fume because you think you are wasting time, or be cause life at the moment is tire some and tedious. It needn’t be if you make good use of it in trying to improve upon your appearance; if you do the little things that make for beauty and loveliness. There are many ways of making yourself attractive—they just take time, that’s all. So, when the op portunity practically falls into you* lap, take advantage of it. I’m sure some of my readers can add to my friend’s beauty plan and, if so, I should like to hear from them. What are your beauty problems? Write: Marie Downing, Larieuse Beauty Bureau, 3309 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them. Be sure to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. AMERICAN GUIDE WEEK SCHEDULED; BOOKS IN WPA. SERIES THAT TREAT NEGRO IN AMERICAN LIFE Washington, D. C.—With the na tionwide observance of American Guide Week scheduled for Novem ber 10th to 16th, Alfred Edgar Smith, Staff Advisor on Race Re lations of the Federal Works Pri jects Administration, called at tention to the pertinent and inter esting facts on the Negro in Am erican life which are to be found in many of the books making up the American Guide Series of the WPA’s Writers’ Program.

Each book was sponsored by a State or local organization and printed by private publishers. President Franklin D- Roosevelt has endorsed the American Guide Week Observance- “Take Pride In Your Country" is the slogan for the week wihich will be mark ad with radio broadcasts, public addresses and exhibits. All Am ericans will be urged to refresh their knowledge of their country and strengthen the sinews of na tional unity. Complete plans for the week’s celebration are being made by the WPA in cooperation with a committee of publishers and the American Booksellers’ As sociation While the Writers’ Program is best known for its Guide Series, it also has some 1,200 other public ations recording the American scene to its credit.

A Prominent Business v I Woman Praises Mme.CJ. [ Walker’s Preparations [ I i L * “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 t Madam C. J. Walker to reach I certain definite conditions of the I hair, skin and scalp, and today. 1 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 Glosslne, ' 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 Brown Face Powder is not just another Face Powder, but is the result of i years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing.
