Q. Will l ever have a home of

Q. Will I ever have home of my own?
 A. Avoid worry. Those of your sign often fret and worry them selves into physical troubles. The mental and emotional sides of their nature predominate. When your type learn to throw off the mental tension that weakens h e r strength, they can accomplish great undertakings. All they need do then, is apply their heretofore wasted energy diligently to what ever project they keep in mind Now then; begin a budget system, that is start a building fund of your own right at home. Put all you possibly can into it, even the penny-and you will be surprised how the sum will grow. With this in mind you and your family will be enthusiastic and be willing to do without great many things. It takes very little to buy a home to- day and there are wonderful op- portunities in real estate. Satisfac- tory arrangement can be easily made with realtors or banks. Con- centrate and study this from every angle and you will have a home before you know it.
 Q. I would like to know what business or occupation I am best fitted?
 A, You were born under an in- tensely practical sign. You would do well in manufacturing, mining or building-there is also a strong tendency to journalism, interior decorating, exporting and import ing woolens and the like. You would do we'll as a salesman deal ing with the general public. If you choose to take up languages you would succeed as an inter- preter. Musical talent is widely known to those of your sign. There is one trouble your type must watch-there are so many lines they feel equal to-they are apt to cover them all-but lightly. Pick out the most congenial and con- centrate. Give 1t deep thought and study and you will succeed.
 c. Miss Seventeen:
 A. My dear: If all goes well and you grow according to your natural good tendencies. you should be a logical, systematic and sensible person. You should be intellectual rather than emotional practical rather than sentimental You will analyze yourself and all those with whom you come in con- tact. You should learn to strike q happy medium and do not go to

routing of the German Secret

Two of the most important cases
which have ever been taken to the
highest courts of the United States
are pending there now. The lynch
verdict against Clarence Norris and
Haywood Patterson, two of the nine
Scottsboro boys, is now in the
United States Supreme Court for
review. The 20-year chain gang
sentence against Angelo Herndon,
which is a sentence of death by
slow torture, is before the Supreme
Court of the State of Georgia.
These two battles, conducted by
the International Labor Defense,
strike at the very heart of the most
brutal form of oppression by the
American ruling class-the oppres-
sion of the Negro people. They are
the spearhead in the struggle to
smash the feudal chains about the
necks of a whole people.

Profits for Corporations
Soar With Growing
Fascist Tendencies

NEW YORK-A survey of the
economic and political results of the
New Deal indicates that the posi-
ton Of the majority Of the popula-
ton has ben made worse, the profits
of a handful of corporations have
been greatly increased, with an in
creasing tendency toward fascism
in the Roosevelt government mani
Testing itself, DR.. Harry F. Ward, OF
Columbia University. stated yester-
day in report issued by the Metho-
dist Federation for Social Service.
In a bulletin which goes to
churches all over the country, DR..
Ward charged that Roosevelt's New
Deal has failed to give the people a
single benefit which it promised,
and has on the contrary, assisted
only the big Wall Street monopolies.
To confirm his charges, DR.. Ward
quoted the following figures on
profits
'The net profits of 4O2 industrial
companies have risen from SAT $780,
600 in the first half of 1888 to $685.,
10000, a 600 per cent rise, in the
first half of 1884, while the stand
ards of living for the masses "con-
tinually fall'."
Quoting leading Roosevelt spokes-
men the report shows that the
purpose of the New Deal was, from
the first, to save capitalism and
capitalist profit. This is the pur-
pose of fascism elsewhere" the re-
port declares.
Giving picture of the widespread
ruin and poverty which the New
Deal has effected among the people,
the report continued;
Some 100000 families live in
homes that conservative investiga-
tors call substandard. The peoples
cultural standards lag. Hundreds of
rural schools have been closed; tens
of thousands have been reduced to
only two and three months in
year; 100000 unemployed youths
have been trained for type and
standard of living that is not avail
able to them"
The report then showed that of
the huge government expenditures
totaling more than six billion dol
lars in the R.FC. alone, hardly one
tenth went to the masses.
Lower living standards of the
masses all over the country has been
one of the most noticeable results
of the New Deal, the report charges,
giving instances of the recent milk
survey which proved that more than
IA per cent of the country's families
get no milk at all, and that the
miseries of unemployment are great
er than before the New Deal.

The cost of living, as instanced in
the prices of retail food, has ad-
vanced more than % per cent since

the Roosevelt government adding to
this burden by its policy of destroy
ing crops and enforcing lower pro-
