You two are in love, but for some cause neither of you have tried to adjust yourselves to each other since marriage. L. M. C.—My parents are driving me mad the way they are dictating to me about the way I spend my money. I have been working for the past six weeks on a very good job. They think it is their right to take all my earnings. I want to nav them board and save the balance. Would I do wrong to move and get me a place alone? Ans: No argument can be won by fussing and bickering the way you folks are doing. Go to your pa rents one at a time and explain to them that you want to pay them board each week and handle your money yourself. Pay according to ■ the scale of regular boarding hous es. Strive to settle this argument without moving. They need the money you are now prepared to give them for your board and I feel sure you can work out your prob 'em satisfacto-y to all if you strive to do so. G. C.—I am in love with a wom an and she seems to love me. Would I make a mistake if I marry her? Ans: There is no reason why a man and woman in their sixties can’t find happiness in marriage. You two have gone together con stantly for the past few years, see things in the same light and should find happiness together. Both of you are old enough to know- that you won't experience the purple bloom that you would have in your twenties. O. O. S.—This fellow I am going with now- is stingy with his money.

Ans: You wouOd certainly be justified in doing so. If he squeez es his nickles this hard during a romance. .. .you would have to pry them out of him after marriage it is a mighty poor compliment to you that he doesn't enjoy your com pany enough to pay your way w-hen he takes you out. A man who is conservative is to be commended. . but one who is so stingy he takes out his false teeth to keen from chewing on them, should be avoided like the itch. L. M. B.—I am really in distress.

Early this month, despite the difficulties of war, the first regular Air Mail Ser vice was inaugurated between these two countries. This communicat ion through the "skyways.” took only two weeks as compared w;th eight or ten weeks before.

By Albert J. Bates " Under the spur of wartime need, American inventive and research genius is producing virtual miracles in the way of new products and new processes to meet combat and do mestic needs. With imports of several vital raw materials such as rubber and tin either drastically reduced or elimi nated, and certain domestically-pro duced items being channeled into the war effort, American resource fulness is flowering into full play. Scores of needs have already been met with synthetic products . . . more problems are being solved daily and it is only a matter of time before the most spectacular prob lem of all . . . rubber . . .is solved. The plastic industry, already great before the War, is making giant strides and producing hundreds of items to take the strain off of the critical materials supply. Other in dustries are “in there, pitching’’ with research, invention and innova tion. We have tinless tin cans, brushes with synthetic bristles, rubberless raincoats and a host of other new or substitute products too numerous to list, but all filling vital needs. And recently one great electrical company started the manufacture of tiny drops of hard glass to take the place of imported sapphires re quired as jewel bearings for vital electrical indicating instruments. In these as in other ways, Amer ica will win through. Keep Pitch ing, America! tCopyright. 1912, by Albert J. Bates, i.a Crcrsne. Wisoonsini SOI TIIEUN PACIFIC R. R. EXPLAINS NEGRO JOB CARAVAN FIASCO Birmingham, Aug. 1 (ANP)— S. J. Brown, general agent hero for the Southern Pacific lines, has released the railroad’s official statement ex plaining the failure of the recent caravan of workers being sent to work for SPL-, on the Pacific coas:. Several hundred Birmingham Negro es were included in the expedition to the far west. Railroad officials declared: “Charg es of lack of work nre ahsurb, as the railroad has urgent need for track workers and there are jobs for all who will and can take them.’’ The road’s official statement said: “The Southern Pacific paid all transportation to jobs. Some of the men complained that they were not -provided with food en route, others that the Southern Pacific did not provide work at destinations as promised. Railroad and commis sary officers say that hotel meals were provided upon arrival of the men at El Paso and Ogden and box lunches thereafter, except at certain important transfer points, where meals were again provided.” The statement continued: “South ern Pacific records indicate 15 oer I I' j Make Sears YOUR Headquarter for r j “Safety Toe” Work Shoes J Withstands A 408 Steel f 2,000 Lbs.

As an alternative, in settling the dispute, the company has tried to import Mexican track workers. W. H. Kirkbride, chief engineer for the Southern Pacific, comment ing on the present situation, said that in view of the “practical fail ure” of the experiment (that of gett ing workers to the west), the South ern Pacific will renew its applica tion for importation of laborers from Mexico. I _ TO TRIPLE TUSKEGEE AVIATOR OUTPUT Washington, July 31 (ANP) Well authenticated rumors here, although not confirmed officially, indicate that the number of Negro airmen at Tuskegee Flying field is to bo tripled. The 99th squadron is to be moved out. Three other squadrons are to be formed there and these will have the requisite number of ground men to service the pilots. The large number of civilian in structors now in training at Chan ute Field, 111., are to be moved to Tuskegee where an entire school for training mechanics and expert per sonnel is to be set up. It is prob ably that 4.000 men including the pi lots will be stationed at the Tuske gee field when the three squadrons are developed. The CAA program at Tuskegee js to be greatly enlarged in order to give preliminary training leading up to army flying. The 99th will be given further training in combat service probably at another field.

TRAILER COACH BOOM PIXPAGE—State and city restrictions on trailers are hampering their use by the government as the “shock troops of war housing,” according to Carl L.

How did women manage to be beautiful in the days before com pacts, lipsticks, creams and perma nent waves? That’s a question we are all asking now that government priorities threaten to deprive us of many of the beauty aids we’ve al ways taken for granted. It’s interesting to look back and see just how much time and trouble a woman in 1882 needed to emerge from the beauty parlor looking glamorous and lovely. Sixty years ago a woman planned in advance to take a day off to go to the hair dresser’s if she wanted a shampoo and curl. If any dyeing or tinting was needed, she might plan to spend a couple of days there because it meant many applications and hours of drying for each one! Her hair was shampooed and dressed, carefully and tediously by an expert in the art of coiffure (usually a man.) After that she sat for hours while two ?prl attendants fanned her with palm leaf fans to dry her hair. It was long and tire some but she sat grimly through it. Her cosmetics were put up In Small bottles by the owner of the establishment to which she en trusted her beauty. He saved bot tles, filled them with preparations he used in his shop, wrote the labels by hand, and sold the bottles to his customers to take home with them. They, in turn, saved the bottles and took them back from time to time to be refilled. That’s the picture of the hair dressing parlor as grandmother knew it. We are indebted to Mr. C. W. Godefroy of the Godefroy Man ufacturing Co., St. Louis, who re cently, in connection with the cele bration of the Sixtieth Anniversary of this well-known cosmetic firm, made these interesting facts public. It is also a matter of record that many of the modern appliances used in present-day shops can be traced back to Mr. A. F. Godefroy, found er of the Godefroy Company, who did much pioneering work in the beauty and cosmetic field. Dissatis fied with the gas curling iron used in the 80’s, Godefroy went to work and invented an electric curling iron which he patented in 1888. How ever, only the bravest of his cus tomers would let him use it, because electricity was considered very dan gerous in those days. Later Mr. Godefroy invented the first electric hot-blast hair dryer designed to speed up the lengthy process of drying hair. This dryer, which looked a great deal like a stove-pipe, was the parent of the efficient hair dryers we know today. Unfortunately, Godefroy didn’t pat ent this remarkable invention at all because his business advisors pointed out that there would never be a market for more than a few of them throughout the country . . . not even enough to justify the costs of a patent. Today we are at war! We are go ing to have to learn to get along with fewer beauty aids and less me chanical service. We are all urged to save the jars and bottles our cos metics come in so that they can be refilled. Old lipstick containers and metal compacts take on a new im portance, and we must use them as long as possible because the metal that formerly went into them must now be used for bombers and tanks. Fewer creams will be on the market, but the women of America who have always had more than women of other countries know that they can get along . . . and that after the war is over, even greater conveniences will be offered them! What are your beauty problems? Write: Mane Downing, Laneuse Beauty Bureau, 3509 Lindell Bird., St. Louis, Mo., and she will be glad to answer them. Be sure to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. [(■‘discus red cross wartime program Washington, 1). C.—Discussing wartime problems and program of the American Red Cross are Mr. i Claude A.
