Hoover .'Relief" Fake

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. IL
Because capitalism allows specu-
lators to make millions off the
gamble as to the degree of ruin
caused by the drouth, it is really
difficult to say what is the truth
about the numerous and conflicting
reports" from varied capitalist
agencies.
But it is known that in some
places the farming population, espe-
cially in the South where capitalism
and landlordism has kept the poor
white and poor Negro farmers from
uniting and thus kept both half
starved, that actual starvation is
threatening, and typhoid and pei
lagra are already reaping harvest
of death.
This information was given Hoov-
err today by John Barton Payne,
chairman Of the Red Gross, and
while this hypocritical organization
lies when it serves it's imperialist
purpose, its estimate of conditions
bear the brand OF. truth. Payne
states that unemployment, for ex-
ample, is rife among farm wage
workers, who are actually starving.
Hoover is said to be preparing an
important announcement" but it
can be figured in advance that
neither the workers nor poor farm
ers can look for anything outside
of possible aid to check disease
which may get out of control and
kill not only poor people but some
rich parasites.

Negro workers here are suspicious
of prison embarrassing to the eff

prisoner, died of heat rather than
brutality. Bellamy, the prison
guards admit, was placed in

The British artillery is posted in the

British in India for that purpose,

yesterday, "its efficiency. is much

The Afridis burned a British
military storehouse within a mile

Tribes led by the Hail of Turang-

Little Causes Of Big Divorces


The reasons for which women
divorce their husbands these
days are getting sillier and sill
lier-more and more irrational.
It was bad enough to break
up a home because your hus-
band used the wrong fork or
pinched the toothpaste at the
wrong end.
But now as we have the spec
tacle of a young wife applying
for freedom, with alimony, be-
cause her husband insists on
staying in the house evenings,
which is equivalent to having
a tooth pulled because it
DOESN'T ache you.
Another sensitive young thing
wants to cut the tie-that-binds
her to her charming spouse be-
cause he has complex for NOV
ing pictures with thrilling and
passionate love scenes. Think
of it! Jealous Of a few reels
Of celluloid!
Yet how happy you and I
would be, dear heart, if our 200
pounds of Tired-Business-M Man
could be dragged out to that
kind of pictures! A man who
can take his romantic adven-
lures and all his thrills vicar
iously ought to be a prize hus-
band.
Many a woman would thank
heaven if her husband could
get a ''kick" just by looking
at the picture Of a drinking
scene or if he could satisfy his
sporting blood merely by gazing
at pictures Of President Hoover
pulling in a bass.
Lots Of little married women
would have forgotten what
loves young dream was like if
they could not refresh their
memories and inaginations by
getting a few vicarious thrills
at the movies.
Human nature MUST have
some way of escaping from the
realities and indulging in its
dreams. Only a brand-neW
bride will try to censor her
husbands thoughts and dreams.
After a few years of domeSticity
a wife is only too glad if her
darling will take it all out in
his imagination.
Every man and woman has,
somewhere deep down inside, a
longing for the romantic, the
glamorous, the beautiful, the
exotic. We are all Peter Pans
at heart.
Lucky the woman who is
married to a man who can get
all his complexes and inhibi-
tions out of his system just by
sitting in a darkened movie
theater and gazing at pictures
Of alluring women, of wild
whoopee parties.
That's what plays and books
and music and movies are FOR!
To take us away from realities,
watt us upward on q magic
carpet and let us roam in fancy
through a land Of romance and
delight, where all the men are
handsome and gallant, all the
women are lovely and alluring,
all the days are frances, and all
the nights are dreams.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By Harding
BY DR.. Louis r. Bisch-

GO many, many people fear
~ "bugaboos."
So many are SuperStitious.
So many are obsessed with
dread of one kind or another.
It's hard to believe that peo-
pie are afraid Of the number
13. that there are people who
won't live or work on the 18th
floor, or sit l3 at a table. or
undertake any important prob.
lem on the 18th day of the
month. But it is true, never.
thelesS.
Hundreds write each year
to State automobile bureaus
requesting that they be given
a license tag in which 13 will
not appear!
Indeed, some are even afraid
of numbers containing combi.
nations of 13, like 26. 113, or
combinations of IS backwards,
like 81, SO. 393, etc.
People fear walking under
ladders.
You couldn't hire some folks
to walk through q funeral pro-
cession.
When a mirror is broken ac-
cidentally there's a panic. It
may mean seven years of bad
luck, they say!
When one writes such things
down on paper they sound
foolish enough.
And the people who are
afraid of bugabooS often know
it's all foolishness, too! Only
they are afraid to take a
chance.
All bugaboos, whether definite
superstitious belief or not, are
psychologically classed as OBJ
sessions. "a.
Bugaboos are a form Of COM
pulsive thinking that makes the
sufferer give way to their de-
mands, no matter how ridicu.
lous they may apear even to
himself.
If you are troubled with bug
aboos, you feel uneasy until you
give way to them. A vague
sense of dread overpowers you.
It's SO much easier to let 60
and give in. And that's ex-
actly why you do!
That is why you subscribe
and adhere to your bugaboo
notions at the expense of sane
and sober Judgment.
But why not fight your buga-
booS?
why not take the dread out
Of them?
Why torture yourself in such
a childish fashion?
Almost everybody has some
private, secret bugaboo that he
keeps strictly to himself.
Admit these! Bring them
sout in the open! Chase them!
If you want to get rid Of
bugaboos, it may take a little
time and effort, but it can
be done.
Try out each and every b0ga-
boo that occurs to you.
If you're afraid Of walking
Under ladder, make it your
business to find such ladder
and to walk under It deliberately.
