MIDWAY ISLAND HELD
PART OF u. S. PROPER
American Owned Property Not Sub
ject to Hawaiian Tax.


ject to Hawaiian Tax.
By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-Mid-
way Island has been deflnitel estab-
lished as being part of the United
States property instead of merely
suburb of Honolulu.
The question arose when tax au-
thorities of Hawaii asked If they
might tax the cable station and
the newly installed property of the
American Always station.
A judicial investigation was made
with the result that a Supreme
Court decision was found holding
that Midway Island became Ameri-
can soil in 1867, some 81 years be-
fore Hawaii was annexed to the
United States, and that therefore
it was never part of Hawaii.
Until the problem of taxation
arose, the popular belief in Hawaii
was that Midway was a part of the
city and county of Honolulu. The
new finding establishes it as real
American territory under the juris-
diction of the navy

declaration for reelection of Presi-

Without mentioning Mr.. Roosevelt
by name, he told the Women's Ma

I'VE can not afford to make any
change in our present great forward
looking social movement. We have
been inspired and thrilled by the
leadership that destiny has given us

Green appealed, also, for new leg

LOVES ANOTHER

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"The man l love is in love with
someone else. l did a little in.
quiring and found out that this
girl does not bear a very good
reputation. She goes round with
several men, and l think my boy
friend is just the goat. He thinks
she's lots better than she really
is. He'd be the last to marry a
fast girl.
"Shall 1 tell him about her and
the things people are saying? I'd
hate to see him throw himself
away. 1 am %, and fearfully
jealous. LORETTA"
I'm glad you told me you are
jealous, because it might explain
why you went inquiring about the
other girls reputation and felt
justified in thinking the worst.
But, in your place, wouldn't tell
the young man. A "tattle-tale" is
always a poor specimen and is
never we'll thought of. If the girl
is what you think she is, the
young man will find out soon
enough.

BEATS HER

Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 have been married nearly five
years and have lovely baby boy
nearly three years old. Since our
marriage, my husband has worked
steadily, but has never made more
than $50 week. inherited a lit
tie money from my grandmother,
and have helped meet our bills,
bought him a car, the upkeep of
which 1 pay for.
In spite of all / have done to
make a go of our marriage, he has
been terribly cruel to me; for no
reason at all he has beaten me and
used vile language. On one Occa-
sion, he threw me out of the house
and locked the door. 1 was forced,
hatleSS and coatless, to go to a
neighbOr's house and spend the
night. Still he says he couldn't
live without me.
"My husbands best friend, who
has often witnessed this abuse,
and on one occaSion-when I
might have been killed-interfered
to protect me, has said he will give
me money for divorce, if care
to have one. This gentleman, who
is a widOwer, has a beautiful home,
in which 1 know 1 would receive
tenderness, rather than abuse.
The trouble is, do not love him,
and if 1 married him, it would only
be for the sake of having a home
for myself and child.
II do not love my husband,
either, and have continued to stay
with him only because / do not
know what to do next. earned
my own living before marriage,
and think l could go back to work.
But have suffered so much that
I seem dazed, and hardly know
which way to turn.
TWENTY-FIVE"
don't wonder you feel dazed.
my dear girl, and I'm wondering II
your husband is quite sane. Men
who are so brutal and abusive
often have a screw loose in their al
legged minds. I am thankful that
you have the ability to earn your
own living, as you did before mar
riage. So many women, situated
as you are, cannot earn a penny.
AS your husbands violence is more
than likely to do you bodily harm,
I think it would be we'll for you
to talk this situation over with the
Domestic Relations Court or
Legal Aid Society.
And as you don't love the man
of whom you write me, regarding
him only as a friend,'I cannot ad-
wise you to marry solely for the
sake of having a home, particular
ly as you are able to earn your own
living.
The Washington times., 1936-08-14

Il objected to her being friendly
with other men. She said, MY
husband trusts me- l said, How
about us?' She answered, why
throw that up to me?'
"Her husband does not seem to
care where she goes or when she
returns. To me there is no love
in a case Of this kind. I contend
where there is no jealousy there
is no love. When l love / want
that one for myself alone. ]. D."
The worlds best minds have
tried to define love and explain
jealousy. Neither can be dis
cussed satisfactorily, except at
length. Briefly, love is tender
and passionate affection for one
of the opposite sex. Jealousy is
fear-the disposition to suspect
rivalry in matters of love.
From the text of your letter it
would seem that the husband, of
whom you write, is indifferent to
his wife. And the lady herself has
a distinct lack of ideals concern
ing the marriage relationship. If
your own standards are higher, as
your letter implies, apparently you
didn't stick to these finer values.
1 wonder if you aren't getting
tired of this affair. So many
begin to discover faults when they
become bored.

SPENT WIFE'S MONEY

'OcdF MISS FdAT1dAS
-Four years ago, girl 1S, just
out of high school, refused to ac-
cept counsel from relatives and
friends and married a 21-year-Old
boy, a junior in high school. The
boy was a student with no job
and no money. They spent the
girls $4,000 and are using her
monthly income.
"Her husband has just recently
told her that he can not love her
until he has paid back all the
money she has used for the house
and for their three-year-oId son.
Yet, he does not attempt to earn
anythin.; outside his relief job,
which is too small to provide for

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II was married a few weeks ago,
and I would like your help on a
problem that have.
81 should like to write apprecia-
tive and grateful notes of thanks
to my many friends who have been
so kind and generous in presenting
to my husband and me such beau
tiful gifts on the occasion of our
wedding.
"In signing such a letter what
signature should 1 uSe-Mr. and
Mrs. John Smith or Mrs. John
Smith? / should think that since
my husband shares in the pleasure
of the gifts, he should also share in
the signature. Is this correct?
eff a gift was sent by husband
and wife, should write the note
just to the wife or to the wife and
her husband?
do you approve Of this writing
paper for such letters?
"YOurS gratefully,
MRS. JOHN SMITH"
If these wedding gifts were sent
before your wedding, as I imagine
they we're, they should all have
been thanked for before you left
in your wedding trip. apparently
you are a newcomer to my col
umn, or else you would have read
many times in my column how I
earnestly beg, urge, beSeech, i'm
plore brides-to-be to write each
day before the wedding a thank
you note for each gift received that
day. This means that all gifts,
except the very-last-minute ones,
will be thanked for before the
wedding day.
However, the thing to do now is
to get those thank-you notes writ
ten as soon as possible. And the
thing to keep in mind as you write
them is first to thank for the
thought and generosity that
prompted the sending Of the gift,
and then to thank for the gift is
self, mentioning it definitely by
name, and chatting about it, It's
beauty, it's use, and so forth.

In a letter to someone whom you

know your husbands name, your
signature would be:
Your very sincerely,

Beauty
Milk Facial
Aids Skin
By DONNA GRACE

One of the reasons why the
youngsters are prone to envy the
calm assurance of the mature
woman, is that she has realized
her shortcomings and has as
Sumed responsibility for them
that is personal.
She has the wit to seek the best
advice, and the wisdom to apply it
where it serves her best. Her ma
ture decisions are not lightly
overthrown by fads and follieS.
This is one of the golden gifts
of the years. Her refreshing, we'll
groomed appearance and placid
department are all resultant in
fluenceS Of her attitude.
NATURAL BEAUTY SPOILED
The young girl may have far
more natural beauty, but, so often
the skin that should be soft,
smooth and transparent, is
blotched, ruddy and anything but
lovely.
How can a girl have poise and
be at ease when she knows her
face is dotted with these unwel-
come marks? She wonders why
her friends, or some older woman
should be favored with clear,
white and smooth chin and cheeks,
and, as they tell her, outgrow this
stage of unlovlinesS.
She is IT, just the age when
the mirror of life should be the
most kind and flattering, but it is
a most depressing stage and deplor-
able, when she is told to just go
on and try to make the best Of it.
Handicap Unnecessary
No girl need put up with such
handicap She can easily clear
her skin, if she will just follow a
simple routine that has helped
thousands of girls and boys as well.
You all have a perfect right to
beauty, and you can have it while
you are going through the adde's
cent stage.
The diet is not the most i'm
portant thing, but until the skin
is in perfect condition, try to cut
down on ali desserts, puddings,
pies or creams. Do without
candy and fancy soda drinks.
You may have any cooked vege-
tables, leafy salads, clear soups,
toasted bread and very little but
ter. Drink two glasses of milk a
day, if you care for it. Take a
half lemon, in hot water, when
you arise, and one-half in cold
water before bedtime.
R. w. r.: You need not be de-
pressed about the condition Of
your skin. It should have atten-
tion, of course, but 1t is not un-
usual to find this condition in the
15-year-old's complexion.
It usually clears up after a
while, but the basis of most sue
cessful treatments is thorough
cleanliness. Make it rule never
to put your hands or finger tips
on your face, and be sure you keep
other hands off, too. You sees our
hands touch any number of things
during the day, and they could
carry infection to the delicate skin
of the face.
Send for my Milk Facial
and YOU will be amazed at what
it will do for you. InclOse a
stamped, self-addreSsed envelope
for it. After you have used it,
I will be anxious to hear how
you have improved. Start it as
soon as possible. Address Donna

ingtOn Times.
