V. M. H.—My husband isn’t making but 3 days a week here and we want t<> just pull up and move altogether There are five children, all small and his mother and myself. Tell us what to do as we aren't even getting l>y like conditions are here Ans: On the other three days he has off each .ho should leave home early in the morning and go to every plant in tow*ns adjoining the one you are living and ask for employment Tell him to place hps application at every place he can . . call on the defense plants too If and when he is able to get full time work. . pull up and move but not before. E. L. A.—I am in need of advice from you. I have been keeping company with a young man for 3 years He is after me to marry him I love him but he is so terr ibly jealous that he doesn’t want me to go anjrwhere unless he is there. I don’t feel that life would be happy with a man like this. Tell me what to do? Ans: Put him off until sum mer. In the meantime go ahead and take the TRIP you are plann ing and get entirely away from him for awhile- The separation will enable you to determine if you want to carry on with him or give him up. He loves you with all his heart and wants you to be happy at any cost. _ C. L. M—Is my landlady a friend to me or just a boss friend? Does she talk about me to our close neighbor the reason she and I don't get along so well togethe? | a ns Your landlady is pure gold. . hasn’t she proved that? Doesn't she let you remain hi her h<«e for months at a time when you are out of a job and not able to pay her one dime? Don't har bor any bad thought about your landlady. The other woman (the neighbor' is just bard to under stand and that's why you can't get along with her. My suggestion is . that if you were to get out and find a job like you should. . you wouldn't have any time to worry about what th- neighbor thinks of you. Find work right now. .you can do it if you try. M. S. H.—I was relieved once of a very weighty problem from your kind advice- I receive very help ful informtaicn from your column. My husband and I lov.-- one anoth er but at times we just fuss ana. quarrel bitterly which makes both of us dissatisfied. What's wrong with both of us? Aren’t you partly responsible for the quarreling? Don't you more or less bring up the fuss by insinuating that he’s running ar ound? My suggs+ion to you friend is to discontinue making remarks along this line and try to build up your faith in your husband. If he goes out.... it won't help to raise the roof off the house. Go about your business very nonchalantly and try to make his life there at home so interesting and entertain ing that he will not want to leave you and the children alone. If he is innocent of the things you ac cuse him, as he claims, you will probably drive hm to do them by constantly nagging Don’t fuss anymore. M. P. C.—My son went home with hjs uncle several Wt- ks ago and I have written him but he won't write- Tell me why he is taking this attitude? Ans: Well he just hasn’t been financially able to s-nd you money and that is all you write and ask for. .therefore he doesn’t answ er. Your son is dependent upon hi* uncle right now ...no doubt he will get a job in a short time and will be able to Send home some money. Why not write him a nice friendly letter and say nothing a bout money. N. H.—This young man I think I love says he loves me- I want to know if he is truthful or is he just trying to get my good name0 Ans: It isn’t true love you two feel for one another... .it is mere cbSldht-Dd affection or “puppy love’ If you two are getting too serious ly involved, you had better stop going together right now. | FOR ICTORY BUY rSTTED STATES !

When she came back she parked in front of my house and got out and came inside my house, on the porch and I saw her coining and threw the latch on the door and she couldn’t get in and she pusned both hands through the glass and broke it. By this time the police were arriving, the first policeman and he didn’t know exactly wh. -o to come to and I told him the fight was at 2530 and the fight was at 2522 by this time, so T •we-nt out side and called h.m and left Mrs. Eldridge on the porch and in the meantime she had already thrown a brick at me and my wife was in side and had taken the children in to another apartment on the first floor where they would be saf In the meantime Mrs. Eldridge was inside and the policeman was coming.

A. No sir. Q. You were right in the hull pen ad would have known if that went on? A. Yes, she didn't have any thing on but a dress, that is what embarrassed me mostly, that is why I looked away.

In the mean time we had been without heat for a week and both children are sick, with the measles. This was Mon day tht I hnded her the money and I came on back, to the house and toid my husband she couldn’t give us any light and gas or noth ing after today.
