L. l.: have been married five
years and have no children. Ny
husband treats me badly and
blames his actions on this lack of
children, promising to treat me
better if l will have children.
Would he treat me better?
Ans: l don't quite understand
what manner of man would find
fault with his wife just because
their marriage had not been
blessed with children. The fault
could reasonably be as much his as
yours. l certainly would not advise
you to bring any children into a
home that afforded no more peace
and harmony than exists in yours.
He would treat you no better.
NJ. NJ. L.: am in love with
man who seems to love me. We
were busted up several years ago
by some evil influence, and l wish
to know if he will ever overcome
these spells?
Ans: Regardless of whether or
not you and the man ever make up
he is not influenced by any
manner of spell. l think that your
inability to get along could be at
tributed to a lack of mutual trust.
You and he should forget your diff
ferences and resume the assOcia-
ton which brought you both so
much real pleasure in the past.
E. E. NJ: would like to know
if my husband has secured his di-
vorce, and also if l will regain pos
session of my furniture?
Ans: l do not believe that your
husband has applied for his di-
vOrce, nor do think that he really
wants one. He has some hope that
you and he will some day resume
life together. You may find it nee
essary to take legal action to re-
cover your furniture. However,
you can regain possession.
W. w. H.: Does my friend love
me? If not why does he go
with me?
Ans: There could be any num-
Der of reasons to cause him to go
with you. 1t could be that he finds
your company pleasure, or he could
merely wish to crafty personal
desires. However, such is not the
case. The man loves you very
dearly, but is in no position to pro-
pose marriage.
M. H.: Why did my husband go
South to work? Should I continue
to believe in him?
Ans: So long as your husband
is compelled to work for a living,
he will at times find it necessary
to work in undesirable places. AS
his wife it is your duty to fol-
low him wherever work may call
him. There is no excuse for your
marriage if you find it impossible

By W. M. Smith

The Rev. A. R. Howard who sue
eeeded Rev. Damon P. Young as
pastor of the Border M. E. Church
was the speaker at the last gather
ing of the Women's Auxiliary of
the Postal Employees Alliance,
which met with Mrs. Smith and me
last week. The Ladies' Auxiliary
meets at the same time and place
as the Mems Alliance. The women
provide a program which the men
are permitted to enjoy. For that
reason it was my privilege to hear
the Rev. gentleman as he INDUCED
in some rather startling reminis-
cences of the south.
say startling advisedly for l
was reared in an atmosphere that
recognized the south as the home
of my people. Almost all the grad
yates of our school immediately
went south to aid in the splendid
attempt to make our people there
the equal of any other group in
these United States. To be told
then that this fine effort after
many years was for any reason
failing in it's objective was indeed
startling.
Yet Rev. Howard said that very
thing. You will be interested to
know | believe, that Rev. Howard,
though a young man of 80, has
spent quite few years in acquiring
the education he possesses, he is a
graduate of Clafiin college. He
spent two years in Rust College,
Orangebury, S. C. and one year in
another college and his talk the
other night to the men and women
disclosed much more of interesting
fact than l can possibly include in
this column. He has been in the
ministry for six years.
In the south as might be expect
ed the dominant whites have
sought to educate the Negro
people in the use of their hands.
Following this purpose all or near
ly all of the southern states have
established schools which teach
training. This would be
perfectly acceptable says the Rev.
Howard save for the fact that this
section fails to provide enough of
the employment for which their
Negro pupils are trained.
Many of the schools of the south
land in protest against the unfair
ness of southern legislatures, said
the reverend, have refused to ac-
cept their educational standards
and have established schools sup
ported by more liberal northern
standards, set by broader minded
whites.
Unfortunately, many of these
schools, seeking higher education
for their pupils forget or choose
TO overlook the fact that many OF
their pupils have neglected to ac-
quire the rudimentary require
ments of the common schools from
whose educational methods they
have withdrawn.
A common fault which the writ
er has had many occasions to no
tice is an utter neglect of gram
mar which should be and usually
is taught in the lower grades.
Thus we find many men and
women educated in the higher
branches Of learning who will
speak of the king English" for
example, instead of the Kings
English" without the slightest
idea of how ridiculous the express
sion sounds to one who has been
taught better.
There are all too few men like
Rev. Howard who speak out plainly
against an educational system that
is definitely lacking in some of its
more important inclusions and
leaves the impression with better
prepared people that the Negroes
education begins when these better
prepared people leave off.

Deaths Head Art
IFor Justice Hall
us Being Revised
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Deaths ugly face-a grim shocker
which confronts Justice Department
employees in a fifth floor hallway
is being hidden behind a mask.
John Steuart Curry, Kansas-born
artist who painted two large lunettes
for the hall, began today to revise
one work entitled Law Versus Mob
Rule" because friends told they dis
liked the deaths head on central
figure. He said there had been no
official complaint.
"The symbolism is a little too star
Ting" Mr.. Curry said, adding that
it would still be startling enough
after he had finished.
The scene depicts fugitive TAX
ing refuge on the steps of the Hall
of Justice. Above him stands a
black-robed judge, backed by SOL
diers. Behind the half-naked fugi-
tive is the mob. led by rope-carry-
ing man with skeleton face. The
mob includes two outsize hounds
men bearing clubs and a masked
figure on horseback.
Mr.. Curry said that after he has
put a mask on the rope bearer. he
might take the mask off the mount
ed man. And then again, he added
he may put the whole thing back the
way it was If he doesn't like the
changes.

BY BETSY CASWELL,
Woman's Editor.

A far cry from the original turkey
hunt that preceded that first
Thanksgiving dinner 300 years ago
is the marketing trip of Mrs. Amer
lea, 1899!
If she chooses, she doesn't even
have to go out after her turkey.
She can pick up telephone, place
an order-and the bird will be de-
livered to her door, plucked, cleaned,
drawn and ready for the oven. The
same goes for all the rest of the
fixin,s.
Asst to prices-well, a survey of
the markets indicates that the aver
age Thanksgiving dinner for the
average family should cost just
about the same as it did last year.
Some items are perhaps a little
higher than they were in 1898, but
others are on the down side, which
balances matters nicely.
Marketmen report that on the
Eastern seaboard the shipping of
turkeys has been somewhat irregu-
lar, due to the double feature"
Thanksgiving. For the most part,
however, they say@that the greatest
quantities are being shipped for the
23d, and that only light supplies are
being readied for the next Thurs
day. Turkeys have enjoyed an un-
usually long season this year; local
young birds came on the market
early in September and have been
tremendously popular and low in
price ever since.
Average Price 20 Cents.
There seems to be little indication
that the cost of turkeys has risen
to take care of the Thanksgiving
demands. A good average price
seems to be about % cents a pound;
there are some birds for even less,
especially the large toms, which
make fine eating, and are an ad-
visable buy for the family that re-
quires big bird.
Cranberries, both whole, and
made up into canned cranberry
sauce, are priced the same as last
year in general. Spanish" or "Ital-

always, with prices ranging from SO

depending upon the size of the
oysters.
Cost Of the Dinner.
Let's see what an average dinner
for an average family of four to six
people would cost this Thanksgiving
A menu that included canned tomato
soup, nuts, olives, celery and raisins,
10-pound turkey with chestnuts
and bread stuffing, sweet potatoes,
baked with marshmallows, string
beans, cranberry sauce (homemade
or canned. plum pudding with hard
sauce, could be had for about S4,88
Substituting mince pie or pumpkin
pie for the plum pudding would les
sen the total cost a bit; adding ice
cream in fancy molds would raise
the ante. But for less than a $5 bill
a really lavish table could be spread
to celebrate the great American Day
of Thanks. Split that sum among
six people-and each one has had a
dinner fit for king for approx
mately 80 cents. And a perfectly
adequate dinner could be had at still
lower cost by omitting the fancy
trimmin's," which, really, are the
most expensive items in the list as
far as value received is concerned.
OF course, by shopping around,
costs can be reduced still further.
But when one looks back to the
prices that have existed in other
times-I can remember turkey SELL
ing at 10 cents per pound some years
ago-we Americans should be more
than glad to give thanks for being
able to turn out such bountiful
holiday meal at such a small expen-
diture.
