out anywhere. What should 1 do?
Ans: / am afraid that the fault
lies with you as much as with your
husband. Change your whole out
look on life as well as change your
APPEARANCE. He loves beauty.
And try to keep yourself so very
attractive in his eyes that he
wouldn't want to look at anyone
else.
A. L. TT would like to know
if my boy friends people sent him
away to keep him from me? Does
he care as much for me as I do for
him?
Ans: He doesn't if he did
then no one could keep him from
going with you. 1t is quite true
that his parents objected to his
getting married so young but they
did not have any personal dislike
for you. He will not return to you.
L. W.-You have helped me be-
fore so please help me again. Tell
me if you think that am going
to make a trip this summer?
Ans: Get in touch with one of
your close relatives for it seems
to me that you will visit someone
related to you within the next three
months. The latter part of your
question is little too personal for
me to put in the column. Why not
write for a private reply?
G. L. S.-Please tell me what
happened to my girl friends
money? Did someone take it?
Does she care for me?
Ans: She misplaced the money.
The party that she suspected had
nothing to do with the disappear
ance of this money as she will find
out. The girl in question is exceed
ingly fond of you.

Hello, Folks:

wen, HSHln& season opened WIFI
a bang on the 18th. At least, one
young man I know said it did. He
got up at 8 a. m. and drove go
miles up state to a lake teeming
with pickerel. The day before was
spent in buying license, new reel,
minnow pail and various bats. His
car, newly overhauled, ran beauti-
fully; his new reel worked to per-
lection and his lunch was deli
cious. He says if any one wants
the name of this wonderful lake
and its exact latitude and longi-
tude Just drop in a card and he'll
be glad to answer all inquiries.
Obi yes. He had one huge nibble
and an enormous bite, so there
must be lots of pickerel there! He
had great trip, he says.
The Phyllis Wheatley baseball
players seem to be gaining quite
a bit of popularity. / hear a num-
Der Of our Twin City gals are ac-
companying the team to the diff
ferent towns where they play. Oh!
deah. How thrilling it must be
to see your "Heart beat" out there
making home runs ZEN everything.
Did you know: Cliff Hawkins
told Sal he eats real cold cream for
breakfast. "Yeh," he said, "cold
cream, that stuff women put on
their face" He says that's why
he's getting so beautiful cause he
eats it daily.
The latest fad: The other eve
ming Horace Bell started everyone
on a "hold your breath" contest.
Timothy Mills, Warren Grissom
and Bell were all in the contest and
Sal did the timekeeping. Grissom
and Bell were the champions, by a
two minute record.
The latest bit of gossip: What
young st. Paul husband stayed out
It'll 4 a. m. last Saturday night and
had to make the doorstep his bed?
Why? Cause WHEY wouldn't let
him in.
Did you know: That a Mime
apolis couple WAS very happy
over the prospect of a blessed
event? The latest news has it
that it isn't a blessed event but
two bundles from Heaven. Are
they still happy? :. What South
Minneapolis girl seems to have it
real bad these days over a certain
out-of-towner? For his sweet
sake she attended church four
times last Sunday. (Ain't love just
too grand) =. Z. What st. Paul girl
sported black eye the other eve
ming? (Another case of "ain't |
love grand.")

Bergin Building Is
Damaged By Fire
tcontInued from Para ll

Inc, where a disastrous fire oc-
CURED during the height Of the
Christmas shopping season last
month, the fire made the cellar a
roaring furnace and was spreading
rapidly upward when discovered
at 1890 last night by q passerby,
who saw the dense smoke and rang
in an alarm from box 5, rat South
Main and ScoYill streets.
Owners Of Building
The building is one of the few in
the downtown section which es-
capped In the disastrous fire Of 1902
which levelled most Of the business
section of the city. 1t Is owned
by Mrs. Harry Parsons, Mrs. John
Hayden and the estate Of the late
Charles Bergin. The Lorraine Shop
occupied portions of two floors in
the structure, while the Wilko
store is on the ground floor. On
the second floor Is the Paramount
Beauty shop. Haydens Insurance
agency Is located on the top floor.
Following the collapse of Acting
Chief Campion, the firemen were
directed by Acting Deputy Chief Jo-
seph Kelley in battling the blaze.
Captain Stephen Bloomfield was
summoned from his home, and as
sisted Acting Deputy Kelley.
Battled All Night
Firemen battled the blaze all
night long, though they had the
fire well under control at 2 a. m.
The fire was confined to the one
structure, but nearby stores in adj
jacent buildings suffered smoke and
water damage. South Main street,
from Exchange Place to Scovlll
street, was closed to traffic from
the time the fire companies ar
rived at the scene. Buses were re-
routed last night and this morning,
while police kept traffic away from
the fire area.
Fire Marshal Den Lahey and bis
staff were at the scene all night
long. The mafshal estimated total
damage from the fire at between
10000 and $4,000, but had not de-
termined the cause up to early this
afternoon. Aiding the marshal in
his investigation were Capt. Will
liam Russell and Privates Eugene
Legge and Jerry Griffin.
Fire Commissioner Minor and
Commissioner Fred Chesson were
at the scene until daylight this
morning.
Exchange Place Clouded
Billows of smoke. hung low over
the whole Exchange Place section
as firemen fought the flames. The
smoke was so thick that even on
the street objects more than few
feet away could not be-. distin-
guished. During the night the
police department managed to Dor
row two large floodlights from the
Connecticut Electric Supply Co. The
lights, completed only a day or two
ago by Walter Grayson of Water
town, were turned over TO the fire
department by police and aided the
firemen greatly in fighting the
blaze.

Washington, Jan. 15.-A negro
messenger recently was observed

dition.
Premier Benito Mussolini's news
paper, Popolo D'Italia of Milan, in
an article discussing the Pope's con-
dition, commented:
1--WE repeat that this improvement
chiefly concerns the outward physi-
cal condition Of the Pope rather
than the basic condition because the
Pope's condition, alas! Is one of
those which do not leave excessive
possibilities for foreseeing a happy
integral solution"
The Pope made his usual weekly
confession this morning to his pri-
vate confessor. He took holy COM
munion in the chapel adjoining his
bedroom, and reclined In his wheel
chair as he heard mass.
Gave Audiences
After mass, the pope was wheeled
to the salon of his private apart
ment, where he had breakfast. Then
he gave successive audiences to Car
dinal Pacelli and Commentators
Barnardino Nogaro, delegate Of the
special administration of the Holy
See, with whom he discussed finan-
cial matters.

saving could be made without
elimination or curtailment Of fed
eral functions - by doing less
work." which is not matter Of
reorganization-the president sug-
gested that by consolidation Of
overlapping functions could save
proportionately as much as states
which had reorganized their gov
ernments with great public ac-
claim"
He mentioned New York, Maine,
Virginia, and other states. Then
he said that In no case did any
state reduce expenses more than
/ Ia per cent through recrganiza-
ton. or less than IL per cent. \,
Byrd's chief claim as q reorgar-
ization expert rests on the fact
that, as governor. he supervised o
consolidation In Virginia which
merged 95, departments into II de-
partments and two agencies.
Roosevelt didn't say whether
Virginia had saved I La per cent
or IL per cent, but no correspond
cnt was so dull-Witted as to miss

In that connection Homer Martin
union president, said: Il would say
we have achieved recognition;
wouldn't say that we have achieved
recognition as the bargaining
agency for all the General Motors
workers"
4.-General Motors pledged itself
not to discriminate against any
employee because of his affiliation
with union.
5.-Both sides agreed that efforts
to effect settlement would con-
tinue for at, least IS days from Mon
day, unless a settlement Is reached
sooner.
On January 4th the union issued
a series of demands on General
Motors. These demands, with the
exception of one that the United
Automobile Workers had to be rec
ognized as the sole bargaining
agency for the corporations en-
ployes, will be what Martin and
William S. Knudson, executive vice.
president of General Motors, will
talk about when they meet Monday.
What Union Wants
THAT Generol Motors bargain
with the union on a national basis
rather than referring matters to in
dividual plant managers.

Meanwhile, suspects were taken
into custody at Casper. Wyo., and

gave his name as Edward Wacho-
wicz of Sagina, Mich, and said he
had just come from San Francisco,
where he had visited his wife. He
was fingerprinted and questioned by
police, who said his story did not
check in many details" and that he
was unable to give clear account
OF his whereabouts during the past
few days. At Sacramento police held
a 26year-old inmate of Washing
ton State Hospital for the Insane.
Capt. Fritz Kaminsky said the
mans description closely resem-
bled" that of the suspected slayer.
Officers said the man admitted
knowing DR.. William w. Mattson,
father of the slain boy, as ply
sician who had attended him.
Two men still we're held for in

ullOTH LIE UNION members OF the
terms of the truce. After these
meetings, if the men are agreeable
the plants will be evacuated, he
declared.
Martins eyes were tired behind
his glasses as he stood in Murphy
office and talked to newspaper men
This means recognition of the
international union" he said. "And
for the first time, in my opinion, a
basis for real collective bargaining
between the legitimate union and
General Motors Corporation has
been reached.
1--WE will make every effort to
make speedy and satisfactory
agreement with the corporation and
establish permanent, peaceful re-
lationship which will benefit all
concerned" ..~
While Martin was talking, Knud-
sen, tall and wide shouldered, made
his way out Of the state house and
said he would have a statement la
ter. In his letter to Murphy, how
ever. he pledged the corporation
that:
Negotiations will be conducted
frankly and without prejudice to
anyone" .
Murphy brought six men into his
office at 11:20 a. m. yesterday. On
the right side of his nine foot ma
hogany desk he seated Knudsen;
John Thomas Smith, general coun-
sci of General Motors and Donald
son Brown, chairman Of the cor
poration's finance committee.
On the left OF the desk were Mar
tin; Wyndham Mortimer, vice pres
ident Of the automobile union and
John Brophy, a director of John L..
Lewis committee for industrial or
ganization.
With only two brief respites for
food, the seven men sat there
through the morning, into the night
and into another day.
Finally the happy hour struck for
Murphy-the hour when he stepped
to the door and told newspaper
men:
Expect Peace
He wore a blue suit and his red
hair was rumpled. Reporters shot
questions at him, and the answers
came back In voice that was worn
from hours Of talking in the smoke
clouded room.
What time was the agreement
reached, GOVERNOR"
Murphy looked at his wrist watch.
1t stood at 400 a. m.
1.-THE agreement" he said, twas
reached about twenty minutes ago.
There are going to be three state.
ments."
when will the National Guards
men be taken out of Flint"
THE matter of the National
Guard has not been discussed at
this meeting. A decision regarding
that will be made in the morning
The National Guard should be out
of Flint as soon as possible, but !
must be assured that the demobili-
zation OF the National Guard.
Ends In Good Will
'"These Is hours of conferences, y
Murphy continued, have ended in
an atmosphere of cordially and
good Will. Under these ,circum-
stances ! believe the negotiations
agreed upon will be concluded with
dispath and satisfaction to eact,

Then Murphy spoke praise for
the high minded" men of both
sides by saying:
This conference developed one OF
