w. H. j.: My wife and I are
separated but not divorced. Will
live with her again, or must l di-
vorce her and marry again?
Ans: Since you entered into this
contract with the understanding
that you would remain together I'M
til death, why not at least try to
affect a reconciliation? A divorce
could not destroy your love for her,
and would only tend to make an
other marriage unsuccessful.
S. F.: Will I ever obtain another
position with the Government?
Ans: 1t is possible that you
could secure another position with
the Government, but you can do so
only by passing a competitive Civil
Service examination with a grade
high enough to warrant your being
given JO0.

CHAPTER 4

For the next three weeks, Clark
saw Verda constantly. Little by
little, their constant association
wore down Verda's original fear of
Craddock's displeasure. During
this time Craddock had not called
at her apartment, although he had
talked with her several times on
the telephone about business af-
fairs. He had neither mentioned
nor had offered any inference
which would cause her to believe
other than he had forgotten the
entire incident of the dismissal
from her apartment the day Clark
had first taken her to lunch.
Although Clark never COM
mented upon the fact in her pres
ence, he knew that Craddock was
yet to be heard from. There was
no doubt in his mind but that
Craddock was well aware of what
was happening to him and Verda.
And knowing the mans character,
Clark was convinced that all was
not as well as it seemed.

lI||![IIlEIl!ZE

D. L. M: Will I be able to keep
my boy friend if I go away on a
short visit? The boy who lives in
the city 1 wish to visit has asked
me to marry him and I want to
know if I should or not?
Ans: Do you honestly expect
the boy in your home town to sit
idly at home and "twiddle" his
thumbs, while you run off to an
other city to try to effect a mar
riage with another boy? The boy
at home has already noticed your
GOODNESS toward him and is fully
aware of your reasons for wanting
to make the trip. He won't re-
main faithful and he shouldn't.
M. R. S.: Are my suspicious
correct concerning the fidelity of
my husband? What must, or can
l do?
Ans: There is absolutely NOT
one iOta of fact to substantiate
your belief that your husband has
been unfaithful. AS to what you
must do it is now your moral
duty to acquaint him with your
doubts, ask his forgiveness and re-
frain from suspicious of this kind
in the future.
]. A. S.: Will I be called to an
other job soon as I expect to be?
Ans: You WON'T BE CALLED
to this job within the next sixty
days. In the meantime you will
have no difficulty in retaining your
present job so long as you con-
tinue to perform your duties with
the neatness and dispatch that is
customary with you.
w. G. A.: Should take the trip
that I have been planning, and will
I get the job that I expect so as
to be able to enter business this
fall?
Ans: 1t would greatly enhance
your chances of entering a business
of your own this fall should you
make the trip at once and apply for
the position which you have in
mind. You will get the job.
D. A. c.: Does the boy whom
met the first of this month care for
me? Why doesn't he answer my
letters?
Ans: The boy might have in
time come to like you if you had
not been too quick in attempting to
correspond with him. As it is you
have scared him away temporarily
by making him think that you are
inclined to be too forward. In the
future use more restraint and you
will find yourself to be more sue
cessful, and more popular with the
boys.
M. c. B.: Did I do wrong by
leaving my husband?
Ans: Even though he was not
the best as husbands go it was
your duty to remain with him and
your children. Since you have al
ready left him and find it impOs-
sible to return secure a posi-
ton and provide a home for your
children. Don't think of the other

Negro boys. The latter ,institution
draws its staff from Boley citizens.
The cotton gins of the town each
employ few persons in the fall of
the year, the local telephone COM
pany, owned by Mr.. and Mrs. M. T.
Hunter, furnishes employment for
a few persons, the bank, the Post
Office, the depot, filling stations
and the usual other types of bust
ness and professions create a por-
ton of the employment to be had
there, while the ten churches 10
Gated within the city limits offer
employment to ministers. These
groups comprise practically the en-
tire opportunities for earning a
livelihood in the town.
This is not to advise you to give
up your job in st. Paul or Mime
apois and move to Boley just be-
cause the mayor, police, city coun-
Gil, school heads, postmaster, bank
err and everyone else there are
Negroes. But if you should go to
Boley to live you would meet a
group of people as kind and friend
ly as any who boast of southern
hospitality. If you are thrifty,
love your neighbor and go to
church on Sunday, the chances are
that you could make living there
just as the 874 citizens there are
now doing.

Something About
BOley, Oklahoma
(By j. Nathaniel Smith,

If you had visited Boley in 1909
you would have found a thriving
little town. Negroes on the sur
rounding farms made good crops
and spent their money in Boley.
Friendly Indians came from far
and near to trade in its stores.
General business development over
the state coupled with oil produc-
ton and railroad expansion gave
the little town as well as the en-
tire district an aura of prosperity.
New settlers flocked to Boley
from all points of the compass,
while land prices scared. By 1910
Boley had a population of 1884,
and from mere population stand
point, could have made a fair bid
to become the County Seat of
Ohuskee county, because at that
time Okemah, which is the present
County Seat, had population of
only 1889, and it's rate of growth
was nowhere near so rapid as that
of Boley. Boley was a segregated
town, therefore handicapped at the
start.
Farsighted Negro leaders of to-
day tell US that racial segregation
is bad whether voluntary of in
voluntary, or regardless of the
fancy name you may call it, and
no place in the country offers a
more practical demonstration of
this truth than does Boley. Lack
of capital hampers the many in
telligent and progressive citizens
of Boley who could and would de-
velop its resources and create in
dustries. Biologists of note have
announced time and again that the
town is located above rich oil de-
posits, but to date no we'll has
been drilled there that was a sue
cess. It takes MONEY to drill an
oil we'll. The only Negro in the
vicinity who is receiving money
from oil wells is one whose farm is
located among white farmers (sev-
eral miles from Boley, of course)
on whose land oil has been found.
In such a case it is decidedly to
the advantage of the drilling COM
pany to drill wells on all promising
land in the neighborhood, hence
this Negroes color in no way affects
the quality of the oil, although the
reverse seems to be true a few
miles north in the town of Boley.
An industrial payroll is the life
blood of any town, without fac
tories, mines or forests Boley has
no payroll, hence its economic life
is at low ebb. This does not
mean that it is poor house, there
are many proud, well-to-do citizens
in and around Boley, but speaking
generally for the masses a good all
year round payroll would be as an
oasis to the desert traveller.
Boley is located in the midst of a
large Negro farming district which
draws heavily on it for teachers, in
addition to these jobs it maintains
it's own excellent school system,
these combined employ between 65
and 80 teachers which constitutes
the single group of. wage earners
in the community. Recently CCC
Camp was established near by and
the State of Oklahoma maintains a
| training school there for wavward

interest glared at her Tor a full
moment, but her eyes never
wavered.
every well", he finally said.
("Hissed," would be a better
word.) "You are asking for it."
And with that, which might have
meant anything, he left.
But Verda felt no fear. Only
an indescribable sense of free
dom.
She got $500 cash for the shop
and sent the money to Craddock.
He kept it but sent no reply.
Two weeks later she had moved
into her new location, completely
equipped, and was doing an even
better business. Clark had as
sisted in every way possible. Yer
da had needed no money, as she
had a substantial bank account,
but she did accept his many other
offers of assistance in ironing out
firing details of reestablishment.
Two things about Clark were in
deibly impressed upon her mind
during this period. First, was his
steadfast devotion in all things,
great and small, and secondly, was
the amazing influence he possessed.
She had seen Craddock make the
wheels go" as he had often ex-
pressed it, but his gestures of i'm
portance were always accompanied
with an air of bravado. Clark
simply stepped to the telephone,
made no comment to her whatso-
ever, but smiled at her evident sur
prise when the thing she wished
dsne was accomplished in magical
time.
There was the matter of a new
license required upon change of 10
cation. She was at a point of total
evaporation, at the delay when
she told Clark about it. Fifteen
minutes after he had called the
city hall the license was delivered
by a aunky who almost kissed the
tile floor in expressing his profuse
apologies in behalf of the license
department.
She had impetuously kissed
Clark in front of carpenters, cleo
tricians, and decorators. They
grinned, and Clark nearly dropped
with whatever it is that happens
to one upon such occasions.
"You might try that again some
time," he finally pointed out.
Verda said nothing, but the look
she gave him, coming upon the eff
fects of the kiss, just about COM
pleted his collapse.
All of which was but part of a
FOOLS paradise.
Eleven days after Verda formal
ly opened her shop, the first blow
fell.
Clark came from the box office
of the South Side Auditorium
where he had purchased tickets at
the ringside for the weekly fights
the following night. The card was
exceptionally good and he would
take Verda, and afterwards to a
night club or two and have supper.
He had not driven his car, but had
left it at garage several blocks
away from the crowded district in
which the Auditorium lay. 1t was
about six p. m.
He started to walk to the garage.
He never knew just what made
him look into the street at that
moment. But he did. And saw
death looking him squarely in the
face from the window of a slowly
moving black sedan. He flung him
self straight to the sidewalk just
as the Tommy gun let go.
Two people went down under
that blast which lasted exactly two
seconds.
But Clark, shocked and bruised,
was safe.

Only once did he voice his mis-
givings to Verda. That was on the
afternoon of the second Sunday
after they had first met. He was
driving her down to have dinner
at a resort south of the city.
"Heard from Craddock ?" he had
asked casually.
"He called about some new sup
plies for the shop today. Why?"
Verda replied.
Mention us?"
"No! But why do you ask that,
Clark? Is there some thin g
wrong?"
ooh, no. Forget it."
He didn't refer to the matter
again, but could not quite rid him
self of the belief that a storm was
brewing and decided then that he
would be prepared as far as pos
sible.
First of all, he convinced Verda
that she must sell the shop, give
Interest the money, and move to a
new location under her own COM
plete possession. This was not an
easy thing to do. Not that Verda
considered Interest any longer, be-
cause she knew that debt had long
since been paid. But she felt that
such a move would, or at least
might, endanger the relationship
between Clark and herself. It was
only after she saw what lay be-
meath his imprisoned pleading
that she consented. For she sud-
denly realized that Clark really
loved her, but his self respect
would always keep his professions
silent as long as she chose to re-
main under another mans protec-
ton. So, thrilled to the marrow
at Clark's honorable attitude, she
cast the die and prayed that all
would be well.
When she called Craddock to the
shop and told him of her intentions,
she had expected a violent scene.
"Why are you doing this, Yer
az" he had quietly said.
"You have been kind to me,
Moses, and I shall not deceive you.
I have never loved you and you
must have known it. But I have
been true. You deserved that and
I gave it. However, I have not
reached the point where my posi-
ton here has become untenable."
Interest breathed hard and his
eyes became Sits. "You love
someone, don't your"
Verda looked him squarely in his
dark face from which all poise was
