me: when will Rudy Vallee
be ,here?" But at any rate, the
above question demands an
answer as to my emotional
relation with my audiences,
and I shall try to answer it.
: Just q Few Questions
And here are a few Of the
other questions that have been
asked me:
why did you select Faby
Webb to be your wife?"
What qualities in her
appealed to you?"
'Does she meet your ideal Of
womanhood?"
why do you think your
marriage will be happy?"
What, do you think, are the
rules for happy marriage?"
How can romance be kept
alive in marriage?"
Can a man love more than
one woman?"
What are the danger spots
of marriage?"
do you expect to have other
women friends?"
Are you jealous?"
Had Miss Webb heard you
sing before she fell in love with
you?"
will the same fervor and ro-
nance go into your singing as
before?"
do you believe in easy di-
vorce?"
What are your hopes, ambi-
tions and plans for future?"
DO you expect to have chill
dren?"
These are a few of the ques-
tions that have been asked. I
shall try to answer them frankly
and sincerely, and as best I
can, because think the Ques-
TONERS, representing the public
which listens to my radio broad
casts, are entitled to an answer.
Other Women? Yes
Now, which shall come first?
Let it be one of the most diff
ficult ones: do you expect to
have other women friends?"
The answer is yes-decidedly
yes.
In the previous chapter eX-
planned that it is necessary for
Fay to spend a considerable
part of her time at her home
in California because of her
health. And 1 said that while
she was away, and even while
she was here. I probably would
be seen in the company of other
women from time to time. 1
predicted that this circumstance
would undoubtedly give rise. in
some quarters, to malicious, or
at least Uniformed, gossip. But
there will be no reason for goS-
sip.
Before our marriage, Fay and
I settled that each Of us was
to be free to have our friends
among the opposite sex. I like
the company of women as well
as men associates and she
would not be human if she did
not enjoy the company of men
and women. When we are sep
arated by force Of circum-
stances, there is no reason why
either of us should deny our
selves the pleasure which we
get from such company.
Too Much Spirit
Naturally, when we are at
home together, we prefer the
company Of each other to that
of any other person; but when
we are away, there is no rea-
son why we should nope BY
the fireside, devoid of interest
in anyone else. Both of us
have too much spirit for that.
And because we find pleasure
in the company Of another,
now and then, does that mean

Japanese Officials
Cooperate on Policy

TOXIC. Japan.-The recent appoint
ments Of Gen. I. Ugaki, former minister
of war in the Hamaguchi cabinet as
governor general of Korea and Of Count
Uchida, one of Japans best known dip
lomats, as head Of the South Manchur-
ian Railway Co.. indicate a new era OF
cooperation between japanese inter-
ests in Korea and Manchuria, according
to well informed opinion here
Gen. Ugaki and Count Uchida are
old-time friends and they have an
nounced that they intend to cooperate
in their new work. Gen. Ugaki, in an
interview shortly after his appoint
ment. declared that there had been in
sufficient cooperation in the past be-
tween the governor general Of Korea
and the railway administration in Man
churia
Gen. Ugaki served as acting governor

former Governor General Saito at &C.

much interested"
He went away shaking his
head, as If 1 had uttered
treason against the great
spirit Of American enterprise.
Perhaps he was right; per-
hapS I am getting old and
"unprogreSSive." But the kind
of merchandising problems
that I believe our country
must face sooner or later are
problems like the following:
Why, with so much wealth.
are so many men out of work?
Why Is our economic ma
chinery so clumsy that men
can go hungry in New York
while other men are feeding
wheat to hogs in Kansas?
Why, with so many labor
saving devices, have we so lit
tie leisure?
Why are factories closed
when a large percentage of
the human race is still bare
foot, undernouriShed and wet
when it rains?
Why were our parents, who
were so much poorer than we,
still so much more contented,
peaceful and secure?
How can we think more
about human beings and less
about money? How can we
recognize the economics of
distribution so that everybody
can have more of the good
things Of life as a result of
steady, smooth production?
I cannot answer these ques-
tionS, but I do believe it is
important to get as many men
as possible thinking about
them.
Even II we have to divert a
few minutes from our "mer-
chandiSing."

Protection of Sea Travellers
Sought by League of Nations

The validity Of private insurance
contracts binding the shipowner has
been questioned generally. and it is OBJ
served that the support of the United
States for any system restricting the re-
sponsibility of the carrier has been de-
clared problematical. Shipowners of
various countries have shown some OPP
position to insurance. fearing that new
obligations may be imposed on them
which would probably not abolish their
present legal responsibility. Those con-
cerned with the rights of passengers,
on the other hand. have shown some
suspicion of an agreement which might
place serious limitations on the right of
victims Of accidents at sea to full COM
pensation in the form of damages.
Opinion is said to be in favor of a
system of insurance instituting COM
pensation on the basis of responsibility
as has been done by the legislation re-
lating to compensation for industrial

and so named 1t because it lies with

Furthermore, contain many references
to the anchor, and the symbol is even
incorporated in the civic coat-of-arns.
For centuries the old explanation has

Ghazi Upsets Tradition.
But this ancient tradition, like many
another of the old regime, has been
knocked skyward by Mustapha Renal
Pasha. The Ghazi. after considerable
research into the historical antecedents
Of the Turkish people, believes that the
Turks brought the word with them
when they first settled in Anatolia. long
before Alexander the Greats invasion.
Ankara, says the GhaZi, was the
name Of an ancient river flowing
through the high plateau of Central
Asia whence the Hotties, original for
bears of the Turks. emigrated $500
years ago They were unwilling to let
their children forget the name of the
stream, and so gave the name to. the
city, which is today the nations capital.
This explanation is founded partly
on the researches of Sir William Ram.
say, professor in oxford University,
who has established the date of the
migration to Anatolia as about IS
centuries ago. Further studies on the
same subject are now being under
taken by an archaeological party from
the University Of Chicago.

The American group, engaged In an

EPISCOPAL WOMAN
MINISTERS FAVORED
Joint Commission Asks Scope for
Deaconesses, but Not Sep
arate Priesthood.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 20.-A recon-
mendation that deaconesseS Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church be per-
mitted within the scope Of the ordained
ministry was made in the report of q
joint commission Of that church yes
terday.
The report will be submitted to the
general convention in Denver next Sep
tember. It does not recommend estab-
lishment Of an separate priesthood for
women, which would enable them TO
share on equal terms the prieStly func-
tions of the male clergy.
The suggestion Of recognition Of
woman'S ministry is made to perpnit
eligibility for pensions in the church
pension fund. Formation of q special
ordination service occupying the same
position. in the prayer book as the
once for the ordination Of deacons
also Ii urged.
In no other way" the report states,
can the principle be maintained that
the church has q ministry Of women,
apostolic in its authority and separated
by the deliberate intention of the whole
church acting through the bishop as
its instrument
Benefits Of the church pension fund
at present are strictly for the male
clergy. DeaSonnesses are said to re-
ceive small salaries and to be unable
to make provision against illness or re-
tirement
