Every, time he sets mad he gets the gun after me We are apart now. He sent me away the last of May. We bought two houses and I want to get my part. How must I go about it as I am afraid of him? Ans: Seecure the service of an attorney and have him intercede for yob. That is the only way you will be able to reach a settlement as you can't do business with you' husband. He will refuse to discuss the subject if you approach him. P. N. C.—I love a man whom I met recently but I am eight years older than he is. He says that as long as I thrill him and he thrills me that’s all that counts. Should I worry about the age dif ference ? Ans: No—you have been hon est with him and if he finds you interesting, that’s all that counts. You are mature in years, have a great deal in common and the dif ference in y»ur ages doesn’t par ticularly matter. L. W.—I am not successful, I live in a strain all of the time I can't hardly pay my bills. My friend helps me as much as he -can.

I married five years ago and never have been happy with him. Nothing would do him but for me to mortgage my home. Now ke refuses to pay off the mortgage and I am too old to work. Tell me what to do? Ans: Rent out part of your home and pay off the mortgage I with the income you receive. It I will inconvenience you to some de • gree to have people in your home I but it is the only way you can hope to raise the money to pay off this indebtedness unless you arrange to go to work. Abb’s — Your lessons received and also your guide, wihch I am very pround of. Your lessons and guide are the best and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for every inspiring and encouraging word you wrote. It has helped me. Thank you and thank you again. Miss B. II. H. L. F. — I have been going with a married woman for about two years. She now lives in the same town with me. She says she wants to marry me and I be lieve she does. I wonder if she a the mate for me ? I Ans: She has a mate — it's wrong to try to come between them. Any woman who cheats on her husband is not a very good marital risk. You’re wasting your time running around with a mar ried woman—search for a mate among the single girls.

Efforts to tear down the iron curtain of prejudice, segregation and discrimination between the two racial groups are not as vig orous as they should be, but ef forts are being made and on a greater scale than ever before. One swallow does not make a summer but it is the herald of summer to come. The further fact that several of these student leaders have undertaken to form a college chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Youth Council shows that they understand clear ly enough the full implicatioos of their sttand against discrim ination in educational opportun ities. In addition to the students, the workers too ar« changing some what in their attitudes. Both the A. F. of L. and th# C. I. O. have gained membership as a result of the organizing drive which they are conducting in the South. The gains have not been spect acular and less than the extra vagant figures announced in the publicity which accompanied the launching of the drives. But the gains have b^n solid, as much as could have been reasonably ex pec ted in view of the anti-union campaign which has been con ducted in the columns of react ionary newspapers, and the or ganizing campaign is still under way. The CIO leaders are resolutely opposed to racial discrimination by their unions, The leaders of the AFL have taken a similar strong stand, although individual na tional Unions affiliated with the AFL are not disciplined if they violate this policy by maintain, ing a color bar. Highly significant develop, ment on the AFL side is the in creasing strength and activity of the National Farm Laix>r Un ion, which organizes farm labor, ers and sharecroppqgs, Negro, white and Mexican, without any distinction in race whatever. This union had maintained a pre carious exi3tence in the Mississ ippi Delta area for about ten years and has recently affiliated with the AFL, whose organizers are adding to Its Anefrnbership now in Alabama, Florida, Texas, and Southern California. The union tackles with determina tion the problem of economic ex ploitation and lack of legal pro tection by such measures as the Social Security laws from which the farm laborers of every race suffer. By teaching them to work together for economic aims that are of common benefit to all, they learn to know each other and to appreciate the need for each others’ support. Thus the barriers of prejudice, segregation, and discrimination art undermin ed more effectively and more quickly in some cases than would be possible by a more direct as sault in that part of the country.

The 10 questions most fr«* quently aske d by World War 11 veterans in Nebraska about G. I. home loans were answered today by Ashley Westmoreland, Mana- ' ger of the Veterans Administra tion Lincoln Regional Office. VA con%>iled the queries in a survey it conducted recently to learn how much veterans in Nebr aska know about their federal benefits. Q. Where should a veteran go to get a G. I. home loan? A. He first must find a bank or savings and loan association or other private lenders willing to make the loan. Q. Where does the Veterans Administration come in? A. VA guarantees up to $4. 000. but no more than half the • % loan, made by the private lender to the veteran. This guaranty helps protect lender from loss. Va does not lend money to the veteran. Q. How much can the vet eran borrow? A. As much as the lender is willing to lend, but the maximum VA guarantee will be $4,000. Q. What are some of the ad vantages of a G. I. home loan to the veteran? A. (1) Because of the VA guaranty, the lender is more will ing to make a loan; (2> the VA guaranty encourages the lender to make the loan without requir ing a down paymentt, and (3) the interest rate (4 per cent maxi- . mum) is low. Q. Doesn’t the veteran also get a gratuity payment of somp kind? A. Yes, VA pays to the lend er, for credit to the veteran’s loan, an amount equal to 4 per cent of the guaranteed portion of the loan. For example, if the guaran. teed portion is $3,000, the lender will receive $120 from VA to cre dit to the bedt of the veteran. Q. Must the veteran have cash to make a down payment? A. No, But if a down pay ment is required by the lender, it will not prevent the veteran from obtaining a guaranteed loan. A. The veteran. This fee us Q. Who pays the appraiser’s fee? ually is about $15 or $20*fc Q- Can. a veteran join with a non-veteran to buy a two family home ? A. Yes, provided the vet. erans interest is properly pro j tecte<f" to prevent any loss to him in event the non.veteran defaults Q. How about a loan where where the FHA insures the mortgage for say percent of the house and the veteran whises to borrow additional money to cover the balance? A. VA can guaranty a sec ondary loan for the balance, pro vided the secondary loan does not exceed 20 percent of the purchase price. Q. Can a veteran repay all or part of his loan at any time during the life of the loan? A. Yes, and without paying any fee or premium. Household Scrapbook Quite often when one is in a ^ hurry to mail a letter, there will be but one stamp and it has no muiclage on its back. In this pre dicament all necessary is to mois. ten the mucilage flap on another envelope, the stamp over the dam pened part quickly, then place on the letter to be mailed. Mending A Cracked Range A crack on the inside of a range can be mended by using a filler made of equal parts of common table salt and wool ashes, moist ened 'with water to the proper con consistecy. The filler will dry hard and will be lasting. The Hanging.Basket A novel way to water the hang ing-basket, without spilling water on the floor, is to insert a small funnel in th^ dirt, as near the center of the basket as possible, ancl hidden by the foliage. Fill funnel with water every day, and it will soak into the soil gradually. Testing Coffee A way to test the quality of coffee is to put a spoonful in a glass of cold water and add a few drops of lemon juice. If the coffee is pure it will remain on top of the water; if not, the wate« will become brown in color. The Patch Bag 4 A most practical patch bag can be made from a yard or two of mosquito netting. This enables one to see the contents from the outside, and there is no necessity for emptying the entire contents to find the exact piece of goods waated. Pouring From Cane The secret of pouring liquid from a can is to make two holes in the can instead of one, about an inch apart. The one hole is for the liquid to pour from, the ether hole to let the at» into the can. Writing While Traveling When necessary to write while traveling in an automobile, train, or bus, press the elbows into the body just above the hips, and you will find the task easy. The Door Key That important door key will not be evasive any more when the housewife returns from the grocery, if she will sew a large sized dress hook inside her hand bag, near the top, on which to hang the key.

To Cl®an Playing Cards Solieded playing cards can be cleaned by dipping a small sponge in spirits of camphor and rubbing the cards gently. This will restor* the newness. A Convenient Higb-Chair If four rubber-tipped door ttops are screwed Into the legs of an ordinary chair, it will make an ideal high chair for kitchen work, or for a small child.

It will mean that a single runway Fatmpoft will be useful as a big city airport because the new land I ing gear overcomes many of the difficulties of cross-wind landings | or cake-off. It’s so simple in design that it shoifld be inexpensive nd can be easily put on most personal | planes. The Flying Farmer has made the front cover of the Saturday Evening Post! Mead ScWffer, who painted the recent cover pic ! tufe, tells us: “This flying cow boy is the way the West wants the East to know it. Many a rancher* lives in town and com mutes to his ranch or ranches by air. The table-land makes landing fields all through the West, and because of the long distances in volved, the West takes to planes the way the East takes to cars. Many a business engagement, even luncheon engagements are kept Sthis way.” ’ PIGS IS PIGS AGAIN. Randy Russell, Battle Creek, Mich., found out that his neighbor had been hunting for several hours for some lost sows and pigs. Randy took off from the landing strip of his Farm port, and within five mirffites had spotted the missing stock. - STICKING TO „PIGS, Earl Gehman of the Michigan Flying ,tFarmers tells about the time he found two of his sows sick. Earl’s wife Was away with the car for the day so he flew to Charlotte, taking off from his own Farm port, went to the veterinary hos pital next to the, airport and within half an hour after discov ering the sickness was back home administering medicine. “STOP DRIVING” ORDERS ISSUED 26,223 NEBRASKA MOTORISTS _ • ( “Stop Driving!” orders were i gien to 26.233 motorists in Ne- ■ braska during a two year period since the enactment of the Ne braska Safety Responsibility Law, which has struck hard at the reckless and irresponsibile driver for the benefit of the safe, careful, ! and responsible driver. Dwight Havens, President of the Nebraska State Safety Coun cil .states that of these 26,223 mo torists the majority of revocations and suspensions were agairtSt 1. 530 drivers charged with drunken driving. Court convictions on drunken driving, hit-run, speed ing. reckless driving, expired li censes. and no registration led to 4.805 mandatory revocations. Of these 4.104 are still under suspen sion and are without legal means to drive. These statistics based on the records of th^ Motor Vehicle Divi ] sion states Havens, also reveaT j that there were 3,079 suspensions , because of failure to report acci | dents.
