Make You Happy"

Make You Happy"
Did you know: ''You can tell
all about a person by finding out
what makes him glad; what makes
him sad; and what makes him
mad?" Another little thought to
ponder on, folks, and try out on
your newest friend. I just love
new thoughts and games, don't
you?
Highlights on the Women's In
ternational League for Peace and
Freedom program at the Walkers
Art Gallery last week: AS you
know, Phyllis Wheatley and Halle
Q. Brown both gave splendid con-
tributions to the affair. LOUISE
BROMLEY and I. MYRTLE CAR
DEN gave very enlightening and
interesting talks on our two COM
munity houses and Negro achieve
ments. >. Heard that one of the
popular Girls Clubs had quite a
time the other night playing
"truth." 1t seems as though each
one wanted to know whether and
with whom their boy friends were
"tricking" them, and they found
out much to their chagrin! I

A. M. my desire is to choose
a special friend. I love G. H. be-
cause he is polite and loves to go
to church; love F. S. because he
loves to dance; l love J. K. because
he is a nice boy and has a soft tone
for talking; and I love w. S. be-
cause he has a bright complexion.
Whom should 1 choose?
Ans: In another month it will
be half dozen more that you love
so one thing for you to do is not
even try to make up your mind for
you are only INFATUATED
WITH LOVE and not with the
boys. All of the fellows are nice
+. =. go with them and enjoy their
company but don't think of a spe-
cial friend until you are much
older.

y S. B. HI am writing you again
as things have come out so true
that you said before the end of the
year. 1 have realized many of my
fondest dreams and I am very
happy, but hate to be called num-
Der two. Advise me again, please?
Ans: It's far better to have had
happiness to a certain degree than
not to have exerienced it at all.
Continue on as you are doing and
you will leave second place in a
few months time. The party you
have reference to just doesn't know
what he wants right now.

Hello Everybody:
Buds are bursting, birds twit-
tering and flowers sprouting, and
so April FOOLS Day has rolled
round once more and the saddest
fool of all is that man who held
the next ticket to the sweepstakes
number that won.
Did you hear: ETA MOTEN
this morning on the radio sing
"a song can make you happy; a
song can pull you through,
A song can change the whole
world and make your dreams
come true,
That's what a song can do
So try a song, folks, and see what
it will do for you. Songs are
mighty powerful in conveying
thoughts that one can't convey
otherwise.
This weeks celebrities: EVA
JESSIE, who came over to the
Phyllis Wheatley House and gave
it pleasant once over: That
we'll known champion boxer, JOHN
HENRY LEWIS, was also over
last week. Lewis possesses one
of the most refreshing PERSONAL
ties I've ever seen. He isn't the
least bit conceited and seems so
glad to meet everyone. By the
way. LOUIS and "CHUCK"
MOORE were, Lewis official
guides while he was in town.
Who's BARBARA MALLORY
so very very interested in these
days? I hear MARCELLA
COPELAND is doing pretty we'll
for herself in this popularity con-
test. !. Whose best friend is try
ing to take her one and only away
from her? And from all I see she
seems to be slowly succeeding.
Some say she won't succeed for
she can't hold a candle to the one
in question. Well, all seems to be
fair in love and war and so, let's
change around the old saying-to
''Love makes war;" And who cares,
for love and war are both
a state of sieges and the best man
wins, if he doesn't die of
Encouragement. For love keeps
one in state of trepidation and
palpitation of the heart and war
is hard on the heart, too. :. And
how's ANNE PEARL HORRIS
and her light of her life gettin'
along? Swell! Just saw the
EARL OF SHAMWELL" (other-
wise the Duke) who seems to be
quite that way about these
days.

The Curse Of Repetition

The Curse Of Repetition
Repetition is still the curse of
music broadcasting. The public en-
dures repetition in heaping doses, or
chestras playing the same tunes
hour after hour, night after night.
And yet, the music publishers are
largely responsible for the overplug-
ging. They have believed that con-
centrated airing of a new song over
a period Of a month or more to an
audience of $4,000, 900 would bring
rushing torrent of gold to their sheet
music counters. They did not reckon
uoon the effect Of the constant
airing.
No listener can endure a persis-
tent dining of a ditty. He quickly
becomes fed up-fed up in most
cases in less than a month. Even the
complex strains of the classic COM
posers cannot stand nightly repeti-
ton. Even a Debussy or a Richard
Strauss cannot hold up under it. And
If they can't, what chance has a
simple Hollywood ballad?

Latin-America

Latin-America comprises all
those portions of this hemisphere
to the south of the United States
in which one or another of the Latin
languages is the native tongue. It
includes Brazil, which speaks PorA
tuguese; Haiti, which speaks
French; Porto Rico, Spanish-speak-
ing dependency of the United
States, and the eighteen Spanish
speaking republics from the Rio
Grande to Cape Horn. 1t is not
usually considered to include any
of the European colonial possess
sions.

M. L. E.-Have been going with
a boy for two years and for the
past few months he says he can't
come so often as he is sick. Should
/ believe this or not?
Ans: Certainly not i. it is
just his way of telling you that you
aren't the "Only pebble on the
beach any more" Show him a
thing or two and go out with the
nice YOUNG MAN you met few
weeks ago. He really is very in
terested in showing you a good
time.

L. B. B.-My ambition is to be
able to successfully sell one or
more of the inventions that 1 am
now working on. Your advice
would be greatly appreciated?
Ans: My suggestion to you is
to continue your efforts and try to
perfect one or more of these in
ventiOns before trying to interest
any one in backing you financially.
Your efforts are not in vain, but 1T
this time, l believe the inventions
to be only in a crude stage and you
can improve them by constant
work.

There's one thing sure
in these uncertain

it is keeping the COM

S. A. Gam I doing right by
believing and trusting in the peo-
pie here or should I go on with the
Doctors treatment?
Ans: I don't think it wise for
you to give up the doctors treat
ments altogether and suggest that
you try both for a while. The group
of people you have placed your
confidence in are trying to help
you but you also need the doc
tors care, too.

One Enduring RautIme Air

One Enduring Ragtime Air
A lifetime has passed since it first
crashed upon the pianos of the old
cabarets of the country. It swept
across the nation with the force of a
cyclone. Feature writers interpreted
prominent citizens on the perils of
ragtime and Berlin was considered
everything from a menace to a
genius.
With ragtime now spelled as jazz
and swing, Berlin confines his acti-
vities chiefly to blue skies and melo-
dies that linger on, leaving the hot
stuff to others. Yet. when the call is
clear and persistent, he, too, can
turn out torrid jazz as he demon
strated in Heat Wave"

perfectly well what's before you
there and you aren't fooled in
to believing that it's an easy life

Thoughts for Today

By MORRIS GIBBS, SR.
Why do we have thoughts for today?
To while away time at play
Or each moment for some good desire
That can help our brothers learn to acquire.
brighter outlook for things substantial
A permanence of mind that brings about peace
The solace of which, good thoughts can do,
For those whose mind wants immediate release
Only by thinking of love for each one
Can we in the right direction have begun
To realize all that has been promised from above
To get our share of those things we love-
So keep thoughts in that straight narrow way
AS set by Maker for us in His day,
And my thought shall be from day to day.
To love my brother more in a heavenly way.

spiked CHARGES" MYTH
EXPLODES

There is a great deal of loose talk
to the effect that fixed charges. bond
interest and dividends are the main
railroad problem-although Inter-
state Commerce Commission figures
show that the worth OF railroad
properties is greater than their
bonded Indebtedness.
Two actual examples indicate the
faIlacy Of the excessive fixed
charges" cry:
A '250-mile railway in the Middle
West hasn't any bonds outstanding
and no interest to pay. It hasn't paid
a dividend to stockholders in years.
Yet 1t cannot meet its expenses, and
has been forced to petition the ICC
for permission to tear up its tracks
and go out of business.
A larger railroad In the East is
now in the hands Of receivers. The
United States judge handling the
case wrote to the receiver: "The
earnings OF the railroad are reduc-
ed so much that you Will be force,-
to stop its operation Immediately un-
less salaries and wages are MATERIAL
" red1ced-probably more than is
per eent--and taxes materially abat-
ed-probably at least half" The
stockholders OF this line have re-
eeived nothing IN several years. so
payments to them can hardly be
blamed for the company's dire plight
Last year the bondhOlders agreed to
accept as little as 80 per cent Of the
interest due them. But they. too
have received nothing the
lines revenues have fallen 80 far
behind expenses as to make II Inn
possible for It TO even pay its taxes.
Incidents similar to this could be
recited by the score. Fixed charges
aren't even a significant item in the
railroad crisis. The big things are
artiRcially low rates. heavy taxation
and rising costs OF operation. Unless
the whole industry Is to collapse
drastic steps must be taken to re-
duce operating costs, which means
heavy cuts IN wages--Or the indus
try must be permitted rate struc-
fure adequate to pay its bills and
bring in the flair return" specified
by the transportation Act.

storage will be paid BY the corpora
tion with funds which have been APP
propriated by the federal govern
ment. and the net cost Of this insur-
ahce will be met by the premiums
that are paid by the participating
wheat groweHs. Expenditures for
administration and operating costs
are considered to be in the interest
Of the general welfare Of the nation,
since the program is designed not
only to stabilize the income from
wheat growing. but also to establish
reserve supplies Of wheat to meet
the domestice requirements in the
events Of serious crop failures.
In order that the farmers IN Kent
county might have the opportunity
to better understand this crop insur-
ance program, letter enclosing a
printed leafet on this subject is be-
ing mailed from the Office Of County
Agent Russell r. Wilson to every
wheat grower. In the meantime field
supervisors will be given instruc-
tions concerning this form Of insur-
ance preparatory to contacting as
many wheat producers as possible
and explaining this program. Al
though this crop insurance is entire
ly optional with farmers, II there
should be sufficient interest shown
in It, community meetings Will be
scheduled in Kent county sometime
within the next few weeks for the
purpose OF. discussing this insurance
and receiving applications which
mnst be signed along with the pay
ment Of the premiums previous to
the wheat seeding period this fall.
