TUsREGEE INSTITUTE MAKES ANNUAL CHRISTMAS GIFT
 APPEAL
Nov. {, 1o3e..

Editor of The Democrat:
 'srhrough staff of consecrateG experienced workers, Tuskegee In stitute conducts year-rotnd pro- gram of necessary and important service to southern rural familiea Their most acute problem is low and uncertain income.
 "When settlements are made tor the Fall crops. there are always thousands of sharecropper and farm labor families who didn't come out" and large majority of this group are Negro farmers. From harvest time until the nneager advances are made for Spring planting such fam flies face their hardest struggle for existence.
 "Right in the midst of this period Christmas comes and without some such service as Tuskegee Institute renders, thousands of children in these homes would have nothing to remind them of the Holiday seh- son.
 For many years, devoted friends throughout the country have used this institute as . medium throukh which they may send gifts Co bright en these homes and warm the hears of the children.
 we therefore renew our appeal for donations of clothing. books. toys, candy, pictures, etc. some friends prefer to send money with which to purchase gifts and in such instances the donation is spent as directed.
 Packages and letters may be ad- dressed to:

While all sorts of predictions are being made about the length and severity of this winter, We wonder if it may not prove to be a dud. We're inclined to believe that 1t may be on the disagreeable side with plenty of precipitation, but it will be in the form of sleet and rain. There may be heavy snows, but we can only see them dissipated by close-following thaws or rains

cash tills full-up.
 2 There is e run on Laughter. The sombre offerings are summed by both showmen and show-shoppers. After crying the blues, the cinema citadels are lining their parish- toners all the way around the cor- ned again.
 A business acquaintance of mine, who deals in the little luxuries, says there is Q run on what he has to sell. A Fifth Avenue jewe- Ter who deals in the trifies whose cost would solve the lifelong eco- homie affairs of many an Ameri- can, says things were never bet ter. e ts
 Has that much-publicized Cor. I1er been turned?
 CUISINES ROOMS
 IN SHOW SHOPS
 Well, in this up-and-down towils a likely barometer is the pleasure grist of the playhouses and night clubs. Few previous Octobers showed such frenetic signs of prosperity.
 Every movie palace between Times Square and Columbus Cir- cle was thriving. There were twen- ty-three shows on Broadway, none of them stricken with box-office anemia. On the contrary, the clamor for seats was a steady drone in the house treasurer's ear.
 Feverish producers were hurling together musical shows, at an ag- gregate cost of more than a mil- lion dollars, because the trend is strongly in that direction. Folk don't want to be troubled by prob- lem plays, by mournful wordiness. They want the gaiety and thoughtlessness of Q happy song and dance show.
 Nowhere did the October joy seekers draw their purse-strings close. At Madison Square Garden, the Wild West Rodeo marshalled the largest roundup of customers since It's first annual corral in Manhattan. The cowboys have had a whiR of spendthriftiness, too, at Gotham's numerous Bar-x's.
 At the concert halls, the dulcet tinkle of the do re me in the cash boxes, vie with the melody of the musical scale and this sudden prospering is not merely enjoyed by Toscanini, but b yalmoSt any recitalist who cares to draw a bow across his violin strings.
 The terpsichore fans and the balletomanes have an orgy of both, though rarely have they cared to tread on each others toes simul- taneously.
 For on the same night, not long ago, the Ballet Russo pirouetted across the stage of the Metropoh- tan Opera sf16,1se while @ dancing troupe from Bali and Java exer- cised on a nearby rostrum-aiid both places were damned to the rafters with adoring throngs who had paid plenty for admission. IT'S ALL
 AN ESCAPE
 The showmen and cafe owners and trinket sellers argue that 1t is a false and faintly hysterical prosperity that has come over their fiashy sector of Manhattan Island. The monotony of the war in Europe, and the slow tension of waiting for oome-what may has driven New Workers to diversion.
 To a large degree, they have become carefree escapists - from the morning headline, the after noon bulletin, the night-time radio flash. They want to laugh.
 And the impresarios who pros per on laughter are not far behind the popular wish. If New York wants to spend freely for a good laugh, they will not be cheated. These look like great days for Joe Miller's jokebook and lively tune.

 The legal profession gets a lions share of the lobby business. explain ing why Washington is more dense- ly populated with lawyers (about 5000 than any city in the world. But lawyers. have no corner on the trade. Retired congressman and cab- inet officers, laymen and one-time newspapermen get a considerable share.
 There have been varying estimates of the importance and the legiti- macy of this lobbying force. Cara way regarded 1t, in the main, as a gang of intellectual mercenaries, a nuisance to Congress and a useless expense to credulous barons of bus mess.
 He observed that "nearly every activity of the human mind has been capitalized by some grafter with headquarters established for this activity in Washington. :"
 All sorts of specialized interests. from mousetray makers to i;iterna- tional bankers. are represented in Washington. some by associates, some by lawyers. others by nonde- script freehooterS. Women, labor, veterans. reliefers. farmers. bank CTS. pacifists. manufacturers. big businessmen--all these have their agents on the scene.

MY NEW 1910 ASTROLOGY
READINGS ARE READY

L. MY boy friend has a song
he composed and has had copy
righted. The song is dedicated to
me. Will he get it on the market
and what should he do?
Ans. This friend of yours should
send this song to one of the pOpu-
lar orchestra leaders in the cOun-
try, such as Duke Ellington if
it has something worthwhile in the
song, this person will be able to
find it. l fear there is disappOint-
ment ahead for the two of you re-
garding this song.
B. HI go with a fellow and
for a while he was going with
someone else and he told me that
he stopped. l want to know if
this is true as l don't want to waste
my time on him if he cheats.
Ans: For some reason or other
he just can't seem to help cheating
a bit. This girl that he goes with
occasionally doesn't care for him
and he doesn't her she has a
husband already. If you want to
hold him down, you had better ar
range to go with him each time he
leaves the house evenings,
M. VI wish to know if it
would be wise for me to leave home
and go to the city to find work for
myself and daughter?
Ans: After the first of the year
you would stand a very good chance
of getting employment in the city.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1939-12-29

This change will, in time, prove
profitable for you as there just
isn't anything at all for you to
look forward to in the city where
you are now.
R. A. P.-I have a girl friend
and she tells me she loves me. She
has a boy friend and l don't know
what to do as 1 love her so much.
Help me and tell US what to do?
Ans: She does love you but
she is waiting for you to make ar
engagements for her to join you in
matrimOny. This outside boy friend
that she is going with doesn't mean
anything in particular in her life
and if you propose marriage to
her. she will give him up.
P. D.-Will appreciate very much
if you will answer my question.
Tell me if the man l am going with
at this time is going to get his
money that is due him or not?
Ans: The money will be paid
him sometime during the first few
months of 1910. The delay in col
Letting this money cannot be helped
as it is necessary for all records to
be complete before it is paid off.
Encourage him to save his money.

PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH
NOTES
DR.. L. w. Harris, Pastor

Our pastor is improving nicely
and we hope he will be home in a
very short time. Mrs. M. Harris is
indisposed, suffering with severe
cold. Although our pastor was
greatly missed from the Christmas
service, Rev. A. F. Boyd carried
the work on in very splendid and
commendable way. "Gifts" was
the subject from which he spoke
at the morning service. 1t was
quite appropriate for the holi-
day season, when the giving of
gifts is so predominant, but the
greatest gift of all is the holy
spirit to direct your life. At five
D. m. the auditorium was filled to
enjoy the twilight hour presented
by Pilgrim choir, under able lead
ership of A. V. Hall, director, with
Mrs. Harriet G. Hall as organist.
A Christmas Cantata "The Story
of Bethlehem" by Spencer. The
rendition was excellent, the color
full costumes and iridescent lights
were beautiful; each soloist was in
excellent form and the chorus did
splendid work.
At 7:3O p. m. the Sunday School
rendered Christmas program, the
silver Christmas tree with blue
lights was very beautiful. Christ
mas carols were sung throughout
the program. At the close of the
program each child was given a
Christmas box.
The six o'clock A. M. Praise Ser
vice Christmas morning was great
ly enjoyed by those present. Every
member and friend is urged to be
at Watch meeting Sunday night.

Cleveland and I want to know if
he loves me as he says? 1 care
for him and l want to know also
if l should do as he has asked me
to do? He lives in Detroit.
Ans: He doesn't love you . &.
neither should you do as he has
asked you to do. This fellow is

wouldn't be writing and Fostering
you to death for the little tad of
money you make each week. Re-
fuse to send him a dime and you
won't even hear from him again.
M. HI am making plans to get
married and I also want to take a
course in beauty culture. Should 1
do these two things?

would be to your advantage to have
