THE QUESTION BOX IN JAPAN
It Contains Queer Problems Sub
seribers Ask the Newspapers
to Solve.

japanese newspapers are called
upon to answer a variety Of ques-
tions that might well stump a Jaw
yer. The Samato came mp against
the following recently:
"Iast month | married a GER tain
man. but he has now divorced me.
His unreasonable excuse is that my
eyebrows are a pale color and tn at
must therefore be a leper. Can
him for the damage he is caus
ing to my reputation? A Sub
scriber," The answer was; "Yes
you can sue him for breaking of
the marriage, as he cannot use
pale-colored eyebrow as a cause fOl
divorce"
More Of a poser was submitted t
the wisdom Of the Yomiuri in tn
following: Il am a woman o
twenty years. | was born with
round face and my friends maxi
fun of it. Please tell me some wa,
that ] can change the shape Of m.
face, for the persecution to which
am subjected is more than cal
bear. A Subscriber"
The editor deserves credit bot
for the truth and sympathy Of hi
answer; Il am very sorry, but
do not know Of anybody who ca
change the shape Of your face. H ov
ever, be encouraged, full-faced ladl
as you are the personifcation Of tn
health of humanity. Japan AZ

While the total amount which
VIII be near $25OO.OO for the
county is far from the amount
needed to carry on the work
sue cessfully the Chapter is
thankful for this and wishes to
offer its great appreciation.
Before the Roll Call began it
was figured out very carefully
that to carry ON the work which
has been started and to allow
the plans to grow that $1,000
was necessary for Lafayette
County. This amount would go
to pay an executive secretary,
who does the organizing and at
tends principally to Home Serv-
ice and Civilian Relief, to en-
ploy a county nurse, to establish
clinics througout the county, to.
form Nutrition Classes and to.
pay the running expenses of the
Chapter.
The work of the Red Cross
cannot be carried out without
money and without help and if
Lafayette County wants a sue
cessful community and Social
Center in its midst it is in its
power to have it. To make a
vital thing of the plan it is nee
essary to have workers who are
wiling to give their time and
services, for it is quite impos-
sible for one person, even though
a paid worker, to cover a popu-
lation of thirty thousand people.
The workers througout the
' county are to be congratulated
on their cooperation and their
untiring energies which were
used during the Roll Call.
4 While the desired amount was
not raised the number subscrib-
ed is much larger than at any
time since the war and this fact
means that more people are be-
coming interested in the Peace
! Time program of the Red Cross
and more people are wanting to
j see it live and grow in Lafay-
cite County.
