L. M. L.: have a question !
want printed in the column very
soon. l am thinking about writing
and selling poetry and l wonder if
will be successful along this line.
The jobs 1 get are just too hard.
Ans: Hard work with regular
meals is better than starving to
death trying to write poetry. l ad-
wise you against writing poetry as
a means of making your living .

quite some time before you are
good enough to write poems that
will SELL Go back to work.
R. C. B.: l am behind on my
taxes and 1 wish to know if the
state is going to take my home for
the taxes?
Ans: Some financial arrange
ment must be made with the state,
else you will lose your place. You
had better rent out a part of your
home as well as work little hard
er so that you can meet your obi
cations. There is a chance of your
saving the place, if you get down

source.
H. B. c.: am thinking of going

should l stay at home?

C. D.: Is my companion true to
me in every way? 1 had one of
your Astrology Readings and it
was true all the way through.

young lady he was talking with on
a certain Saturday. She would
like very well to give you a bit of
competition.
v. H. G.: l am behind with my
bills. Will you please tell me the
best thing to do?

gusted, and would like for you

your life. Things may look dark,
but it is only temporary. -. / sug-
gest that you snap out of your de-
pressed feeling and get out among

R. R.: My son is % and is very
good when not under the influence

When you finally get him to bed he

it. What can l do?
Ans: Very little. Let him know
that you won't tolerate his drink

into town were the best of friends?
You see the out-of-towner hasn't
been really serious with any of the
three but was just escorting first
one and then the other to various
affairs. Now, it's said, the gals
don't have very much to say to
each other, and when they do speak
the remarks are anything but
friendly. (Ain't friendship grand
until a man steps on the horizon?)
What St. Paul gal is giving a
party in the none too distant future
and is inviting so guests? Would
you believe that her entire motive
is to get a certain out-of-town man
there so she can "rope him inn?
Says the St. Paul lassie, Gee, I'd

good-looking guy" Heres luck to
you, kid. Hope you're successful if

Discussing "The Role of Catholic
Culture in the Caribbean Area" the
Rev. Raymond A. MCGOWAN of the
National Catholic Welfare Confer
ence told a luncheon conference
that the church, in trying to build
its culture within and upon the cul-
ture of the West Indies, cannot act
in highly unified fashion because
the West Indies themselves are not
united. The church, however, now
is better prepared for the work and
is more active than even 10 years
ago, he said.
Father MCGOWAN closed his talk
with plea to Catholics in the
United States Ito be on guard to
prevent any action that hampers
the free Catholic development of a
culture native to the West Indies
and help the church in the West
Indies to fulfill its role"

OF Army SATISFYING

Progress made in 1899 in modern
izing the Army is very gratifying,
Gen. John j. Pershing said today in
a letter to Gen. George c. Marshall
Army chief of staff.
The leader of the American Ex-
peditionary Force during the World
War said he had followed with
much interest" recent developments
in undermining the national defense
system.
The new program. Gen. Pershing
wrote, places unusual and heavy
demands upon the Army, but I have
supreme confidence in the success OF
its operation because of my abiding
faith in the fine personnel upon
whom it depends"
He extended his best wishes to the
Army for "the New Year and al
ways"
Gen. Pershing is in Walter Reed
Hospital for a routine checkup and
rest. He was 70 years old In Sep
tember.

tary secretary, said Gen. Pershing
gets out nearly every day, weather
permitting, for a walk or drive. He
added that it is quite indefinite"
whether Gen. Pershing will go to
