TRUE REFLECTION
 THE WOMAN OF THE HOUR
Presented by INSTITUTE OF CHARACTER ANALYSIS

Q. Am ever going to be happy?
 A. You should study yourself, and become your own most inti- mate friend. You are a true son of Sagittarius. You are deeply se- rious, with a sober temperament. You make few friends, but those few are steadfast. You draw peo- pie to you with magnetism, then drive them from you with brusque- ness. You are highly sensitive remember others are too. You de- spise licentiousness of any kind. Women in your life must appeal to your spiritual side otherwise you become indifferent. You are high strung, and plodding routine grates on your nervous system. There are few walks in life you could not nll, but you will always be unhappy until you find your true level. The greatest philosophers in the world are born under your sign. Go to the public libi aries and read the works of these men, industriously and with seriousness. If you do this you will soon overtake that breeding, abnormal sentiment that holds you now. Develop the level fine mind that is really above your average associates. You are young, a new life can be ahead. God never meant men to be failures in any way. Failure is man made failure comes from lack of under standing, and no matter how well you may be situated financially, If you are unhappy-that means fail- ule, That is wholly uncalled for. The athletic side of your nature should be cultivated. Wholesome outdoor and fun are an essential part of your being. You should own a dog-horseback riding would open up new world Tor you, Do not mistrust your instinct Jet 1t he your best guide. Work out of this wholly unnecessary condition. You are young-close the door on the past and keep It closed.
 Q. What will my future hold for me?
 A, Watch out. You are too im- pulsiye and oyer-enthusiastic, You are generous and kind, with q con- yersation clever and sparkling. | don't have to write you are attrac' tive to the opposite sex-that goes without saying, Do not allow your attraetiyeness to keep you from the ordinary tasks of life. You car loose many golden opportunities by eentering youF thoughts too much on the opposite sex. Concentrate on public life of some sort, It

would pay you well. Naturally I cannot answer your question in re- gard to all those initials. You are not satisfied where you are, but be very very careful, before you make a change. A small surety is much better than Ga big uncertainty. Before long there will be many openings with good opportunities and you might find better advan- tages right where you are.
 Q. Will you please tell me if ! will get a job soon and will be successful at it. I am so discOur. aged. Please tell me all you know?
 A. You should school your inn pulsive nature to patience and tenacity. Do not drop the thing you are doing until 1t is finished. This depression is most discourag- ing I'll admit, for us all, but on the other hand it has given many a great chance to develop and bring out characteristics they would never have done otherwise. There you area young promising girl, with your life just beginning and you are discouraged. Why? There in your city you have every advantage: night schools and trade schools that cover everything of importance and necessary need. Our futures depend on self reliance and spunk. It is all a game of push and force to-day. It is the boy and girl who knows, that is given the first consideration-the boys and girls who look on advice as something beyond them and not worthy of their notice, are the ones that fail to contact. Do not be afraid to try for something un- usual-that attracts attention-no matter what it is. If you origin ate an idea, develop 1t, and show 1t with a "flash". It is bound to (go over) and bring you at least attention. That is all that is nec- essary. Sitting down and breeding will bring you nothing. This ad- vice stands for old or young. Get busy child, improve every minute and put your energy into what yon take up with a vengeance. You may be sure your instructors, teachers or any that come in con- tact with, will do all they can to place you.
 It is fully understood in adyis. ing you on any subject, True Rc- 6ecti0D, the Institute of Character Analysis and Associates, make no claim to supernatural powers, and this advice for (which no charge is made) must bc regarded as per. sOnaI opinions ms 1t is given as

CAME THE WINTER
lIfa BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Did you say winter was starting With vengeance keen and snappy? But the coal men and the merchants Are none the less quite happy. For it gets folks out and buying Woolen suits and woolen gloves, And the coal man and the oil man Rejoice as the mercury shoves. The thermostat higher and higher While bins are filled with coal. It's good for some, bad for others, The bitterness and the cold. So while you thrive in all weathers Whether it's warm or snappy, Give thought to the poor and needy And make their Christmas happy.

Clinic May Request
 Court Aid In Fight
"Socialized' Treatment Under Fire By Los Angeles
 Medic0s-A|ege Patients Solicited

Los Angeles, fUP)--Ths fight to maintain medical service ct low cost for the salarled G1asses may je taken to the eiVli courts, Dr U, Cttord L0os, e0sfounder Of the Ross sLOos Clinic Of Los Angeles. has told tho United Press,
 The controversy between "s0: eiaiized" medical treatment and rugged individuatlsnn is being brought Go A head here jn the L00B Clinic and the Los Angeles County Medical association.
 Tine clinic has been furnishing complete medical care Co several thousand patients, including hos- pitalizdtion, at tho rate of g 4 month.
 Economic 1ssues
 Tine issues seem 70 be largely economic. No question Of pr0fes' siOnai ability within tie clinic has been Faised,
 The medical ass0Gia ton recently expelled the clinics DhysielanA on tho ground that the clinic had solicited complimentary articles in house organs published by groups subscribing to the clinic, the lattef coming under the pr0fegsi0 0nalIy. unethicai head Of "adyertising." DTS Ross and Lo0s deny the charges categ0rically.
 f'he clinic has at present s0ms t6,000 "c0Htraet patients" many 0f whom also contract for the ear6 Of their dependents. The complete roster Of patients Is estimated at 10000 to 16,0O0, ft has grown to its present proportions from hn experiment launched tB 1929, Fifs ty.fiVe aii.tinie and pGrtstim6 phys. icians arc employed, and as mans. more nurses, 0rderIies and. clerical Dttendants.
 Thes founders are 3r L0os. q turge0n who retired just prior Co 1929, and Dr Arnold E. Ross Cf canada, fellow Of the Royal Col. iege Of Surgeons Of L0ndon and 0f Edinburgh and Of the American College Of Surgeons,
 Thc Plan
 The clinic will accept groups Of from ten persons up. When A group .s signed, ali members are entitled tO the service, regardless Of the physical condition Of hny 0no member exceptions; drug addie' tiOn, insanity and aIeOh0liBn), The wei pay for the sick.
