l wrote the last of August, is he
still interested in me and will see
him again? l like this party.
Ans: The boy isn't interested in
you and he wasn't back in Au-
gust. He is still in the city and is
working but he has a little lady
that keeps him in his place and he
doesn't get to go out often and
have a good time. Stop thinking
about him altogether.
W. A: My boy friend is a mar
ried man and we can't seem to be
happy with one another and l
wonder if there is future for US?
Ans: None the trouble is
the fact that he is married and be-
longs to another and he cannot give
you what you want in life. Stop
going with him as you are I'M
happy, he is unhappy, and his wife
is terribly upset and unhappy.
Choose your friends more care
fully and you won't have so many
worries.
A. L. T.: There is a girl that l
hear so much about, her and my
husband. Is it really true and tell
me if we will get along any better
than we are going at present.
Ans: Where there is so much
smoke" there is bound to be a
little FIRE" Keep your eyes open
and warn your good husband that
you are tired of the gossip that is
circulating around about him and
this party >. he isn't in love with
the girl and the matter could be
stopped. He wouldn't trade you
for six other girls.

G. H. B.: Was my girl friend
out with the man that I think she
was on the night l have in mind
and what should l do about it?
Ans: She wasn't with the par
ticular fellow that you have in
mind on this occasion. There isn't
anything that you can do about her
going out unless you wish to take
her for a wife. Until she is legal
ly married she sees no reason why
she should give up all of her
friends the girl is right, too.
R. c.: Am to collect from the
insurance policy that l am holding,
and how much?
Ans: Yes, you can collect the
face of the premium if you go to
the local office of the insurance
company concerned. The face
value of the policy will be given
you by check and it would be a
mighty good idea for you to bank
your money
L. L. D.: Tell me what l have
done to my husband for him to be
so unkind? Will he change?
Ans. The blame isn't yours 4. .
he has just allowed himself to get
in the wrong frame of mind and
doesn't seem to have any particu-
lar interest in his home. You can
change him, however but it
will take plenty of patience on
your part. Force him to see
things differently and try to in
terest him in things that you feel
will make him take a new outlook
on life.

1t Doesn't
Make Sense

Spending your money with con-
Germs who do not appreciate your
patronage just doesn't make sense.
There are two ways for a mer-
chant to express to you in unmis-
taxable terms that he WANTS and
APPRECIATES your pennies,
nickels, dimes and dollars.
One of those sure signs is the
presence of colored employees in the
establishment. The other is the
presence of advertising from the
concern in the Negro community
newspaper.

Notes Lack of Sense in
Presidents Address.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
The President is reported as having
made the following broadcast yesterday:
The way of democracy is free discus
sion-as eXemplified by the objectives of
the forum to which am speaking. Free
discussion is most greatly useful when
it is restrained and relates to facts 1t is
not useful to suggest either to the Amer
lean people or to the peoples of other
nations that the American Government,
its policies, its practices and its servants
are actuated by motives of diShonor or
corruption. To do so is, of necessity, an
attack on the American system of consti-
tutional representative government it

This statement just does not make
sense. Intent, that is, motive, is fact.
Furthermore, intent is the half of all
crimes-accomplishm the other half
If an official spends the publics money
before election in the honest but mis-
taken belief that the expenditure is
necessary to relieve distress, then at most
he has only made an honest mistake, but,
If he spends the money, under the guise
of relief, with the intent to influence the
election, he is a political malefactor who
should be removed from office.

Better News for Jews.

World Jewry, especially that
branch which has come under the
Nazi bootheel in Germany and Aus
tria, and more latterly has felt
the lash of oppression in Italy, is en-
joying the rare experience of good
news. Berlin has called halt on
the mass expulsion of Polish Jews
from the Reich, pending the opening
of negotiations today to regulate the
status of all Polish citizens in Ger
many. The action comedies with
WarsaW's announcement that Poland
has abandoned plans for retaliatory
measures against Germans residing
there.
While the cancellation of the pro-
posed forced exodus of Polish Jews
from Germany ends, at least tempo
rarily, the prospect of a mass
expulsion that would have led to
deplorable consequences for several
thousand helpless persons, even
more important tidings of favor
able interest to Jews come from
London. The British government, it
is stated, will not, at any rate for the
present. resort to any modification
of the Palestinian immigration laws,
which would seriously curtail the en-
try of Jews seeking to settle there
under Zionist auspices. There are
even suggestions that Britain may
abolish present arbitrary numerical
quota restrictions of 10000 immi-
grants annually and decree that i'm
migration, as originally contemplated
under the mandate, shall be limited
only by the country's "absorptive ca
pacity." Hitherto, before the chronic
civil strife between Arab and Jew set
in and before Arab-British conflict
assumed its present warlike dimen-
sions, some 10000 Jews a year were
admitted to Palestine and were eco
nomically assimilated. There is now
talk that a new figure somewhere
between 10000 and $4,000 may be
fixed.
London dispatches assert that
aroused American public opinion has
had its effect in persuading the
Chapberlain government to refrain
from measures which might have
closed the last door of hope to
oppressed JeWry. President Roosevelt
last week clearly had Germany main
ly in mind when he said there can
be no peace if national policy adopts
as deliberate instrument the dis
persion all over the world of helpless
and prosecuted wanderers with no
place to lay their heads" But it is
easy to read between the lines of that
affirmation an expression of the
hope that the mandate power-Great
Britain-Which is in position to keep
ajar or slam shut the gates to Pales-
tine, will refrain from a policy that
could blast the dreams which from
the days of Theodor Herzl have fired
the people of Israel with a new vision
of liberation.

Americanism in Labor.

John L. Lewis, chairman of the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton, and Donald r. Richberg, for
mer administrator of the N. R. A.,
have recently expressed conflicting
views on proposals for amendment of
the Wagner Act. It is not surprising
that they are in disagreement, but
the mental attitude of the two men
as reflected by what they had to
say is interesting.
Mr.. Lewis said he was confident
that Congress is not going to amend
the Wagner Act to suit the corpora
tions that Richberg represents, nor
to suit the traitorous Bill Green,"
president of the American Federation
of Labor. To that he added his be-
lief that Mr.. Green and Mr.. Richberg
are trying ito sell out labor to the
employers, and thundered his denial
of the right of any one to "appraise
my Americanism"
From his point of view the Wagner
Act has been complete success.
Mr.. Lewis rejoices in the strength it
has given labor and apparently
closes his mind to the harmful
effects on industry despite the fact
that those results also work to the
disadvantage of employees.
Mr.. Richberg takes a broader view.
He wrote the Rail Labor Act and has
seen it function successfully. In con-
trast to the Wagner Act, the railroad
law is conciliatory rather than COM
pulsory in effect, and it cannot be
said that the workers coming under
it have been sold out to their en-
ployers. That is the philosophy Mr..
Richberg would like to see embodied
in the Wagner Act.
In particular, he believes the law
should be amended so that the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board,
quasl-judicial body, could not act
both as prosecutor and judge in
ASoAiAiS WILL 1dOOl disputes, anu 10
permit employers to initiate. pro-
ceedings before the board. The act
does not forbid the filing of COM
plants by employers, but the board
has adopted rule denying them
that privilege.
Three years of experience with the
Wagner Act have served to bring
out its weaknesses as we'll as it's yir-
tues. An increasing number of peo-
pie have come to believe with Mr..
Richberg that the Labor Board
should be divested of it's dual char
acter, and that employers as well
as labor should have the right to seek
redress Of grievances. Mr.. Lewis may
dispute the right of others to ques-
ton his "Americanism," but he testi-
fles against himself when he opposes
amendment of a law which has been
shown by experience to run counter
to Well-established American con-
cepts of fair play and which is
believed to have hindered rather
than helped the industrial recovery
desired by everyone.

what do you do when some one stares
at you?" correspondent wants to know.
1t all depends.
II you are tough guy, with chip
on your shoulder, you haul off and knock
his block off.
If you are woman in nandknitted
dress, and the starer is woman, you
are highly pleased
If you are an ordinarily sensitive per-
son, whether man or woman, and resent
any one who offers the impoliteness of
a stare, you look the other way.
There is a good remedy, however, one
which meets the bill and yet creates no
scene.
1t is to look fixedly-stare, If you will
at the shoes of the offender.
This rarely fails to get results.
1t is about as sure-f1re as anything in
the daily tactics of living, which as
everyone knows, are vastly different from
the tactics in the books.
The masher seems to have gone the
way of the cad, but the starer is very
much in evidence still.
Not only loafers at the railroad stations
in small towns, but innumerably city
people at times seem to find something
odd strange, interesting, enthralling in
their fellow men and women.
Even decent, well-bred folks stare at
others, from time to time, without SEEM
ing to realize that they are doing so.
One glance at the shoes of this type
| sends them hastily back to their paper.
Tougher customers may necessitate a
continued shoe inspection
Few can stand more than 10 seconds,
or 20, at the most; the exceptional per-
son-as likely to be woman as not
always wits before the following pro-
cedure:
Look from the shoes to the knees, in
spect each knee carefully, then go on
to the right hand, the left hand, and
then to the neck.
Linger for awhile at the neck.
Look fiXedly at the hat. If the starer is
feminine, this will end the staring in
short order
She Immediately thinks, What is the
matter with my hat?"
Which must be, indeed, an awful feel
ing, judging from the CONSERVATION on
the faces of deserving victims.
This is such wide, wide world, and
| the number of persons met everywhere
in recent years has been SO largely in
creased, that it is not to be wondered at
that staring, as an institution, has been
on the increase.
After all, it is perfectly natural-but
there are number of natural acts which
are not polite. and which for the good of
all are generally frowned upon
Staring has long been one of these.
Even the freer attitudes since the great
war have not been able to convince most
persons that staring at others is good
| form.
Certainly few, even the freest, like to
be stared at, in their turn.

Pedestrian Mobilization to
Claim Rights Discussed.

To the Editor of The Star:
Regarding the subject of regulating
pedestrians by forcing rules of traffic
conduct upon them, some of us peds
were talking about it the other day and
one bright mind made the suggestion
that general meeting of the city's peds
should be brought about to claim their
natural rights to the walks, byWays and
streets of their city, as founded by prece-
dent and rulings Of past ages, and de-
mand that these rights be not made
obsolete by the invasion of the countless
herds of autos.
These autos, when not rushing through
the streets, regardless of the rights and
safety OF the peds, are parked along the
sides Of the curbs for miles and miles.
Each one of these autos takes up an
average space of 100 square feet, whereas
an upright ped requires less than four
square feet.
These four square feet allotted to each
ped by nature is a birthright, and that
right must be upheld against the 100
square-foot demand of each auto.
This auto demand is nothing but
trespass and an attempt to build
Sudeten majority to take over all the
territory that once belonged exclusively
to the peds.
Another bright mind suggested that in
order to give at least partial right to
the peds, rule might be enforced caus-
ing all the main store streets to be free
and clear of all autos Except delivery
trucks from 10 am. to pm. daily,
thus giving the peds safe period for
dating and shopping and seeing all the
lovely things in our grand shop windows.
