You are doing the right thing in the Eldridge case- More than that, you are doing the patriotic thing, for we cannot have unity either in our community or coun try where race hate and police brutality are tolerated in official circles. THE ELDRIDGE CASE AGAINST POLICE SERGEANT GRAHAM In cases of this character it must first be remembered that the powers of a police officer are very limited. It must also be re membered that Sergeant Graham did not place Mrs. Eldridge under arrest, legally or otherwise Sergeant Graham appeared up on the scene and tried to prevent her from entering her home. And here began the trouble. Mrs. Eld dridge ran into her house, and once she was there. Sergeant Graham had no right to enter without a warrant, and what he did to Mrs. Eldridge in her home was a wan ton and illegal assault upon her. Afterward, Sergeant Graham push ed her into the patrol wagon and attempted to strike her. She was then turned over to the two offic ers in charge of the patrol wag on. It was their duty to take Mrs. Eldridge into the “Bull Pen” search her and book her on the charges advised by Graham. Charges have been filed against) Sergeant Graham with the City Council by Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge and the Omaha Branch of the MA ACP. They should be pressed with unrelenting vigor. And oth er charges in other tribunals should be filed and pressed. Already the appeals have been taken from the findings of guilty against Mrs. Eldridge for “Disturb -ing the Peace” and “Resisting Ar rest”. The hearing on the charge of “Mayhem’ ’is set for April 14tn, 1942. This is a felony case and the question to be determined by the examining magistrate is whe ther or not there is “probale casue’ to believe that such a crime has been committed and whether or not Mrs. Eldrige committed it. Thus, if Mrs. Eldridge should be “Held for Trial” it does not mean she is guilty. That will have to >»e determined by trial in the Dis trict Court before a Jury. The charges against Graham was read by the City Clerk in open. Council meeting Tuesday 10 a. m.

Ans: Your husband doesn’t seem to have the slightest idea how to handle his money My sug gestion is to work out a budget and try to show him how much money it takes to run your home and how it is spent. Before buy ing a bedroom suit you should get out of debt_but you are going to have to go to work and help pay off this indebtness as he won’t be able to do it alone. M. L. B.—My husband and I want to adopt a child We love L children. We have one daughter who is grown and we are only in our early 40’s and feel we want another child We could give some child love, care and a good home as we own our place and do rather well. How can I find a child to adopt ? Could I write you privately about this matter too? Ans: Get in touch with your doctor and ask his assistance in i finding a child. You might call on ! the orphanage in your district and see if you can’t arrange to get a child for adoption. I’m sure that it will be very easy to find a child if you handle it thru the doctor or orphanage. It is a wonderful thing you and your husband have) in mind doing and I do wish you all the luck in the world with the child you choose. If you like you may write me privately. Send 25c for my Astrology Reading and I will be glad to give you my frvei opinion on three problems. F. O. W.—I met this man I am with last June. He and I have been together for 2 months.

Ans: Didn’t you get enough of his unbearable tt-dntmenit when you married him? Make up your mind to forget him once and for all. The man you are married to now is a perfect gentleman.

My sugestion is to ease! away from her gradually. Cut down on the luxuries, and make yourself unattractive to her. ' No doubt in time she will soon tire of your neglect and seek companion ship elsewhere. G. L. B.—I have a small store but I am not running it at present. Must I go back into store business jr sell it and buy the place I am renting how as my garden? Any suggestion will help me to make up my mind. Ans: Sell the store if you can get your price.

Staying in a store day in and day out is too confinig for you. BUY j UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS AND STAMPS U M.135E-3 HE DID NOT RUN tar. William H.
