definitely has established himself
as the champion of not only the
Negroes rights to join labor I'M
ions, but has waged an aggressive
fight for political freedom for the
Negro in the South.
Whatever Lewis faults may be,
whatever bad judgment he may
have had on other questions; how
ever erratic his behavior may have
appeared to politicians, he has
done more than any living man
to advance the cause of the Ne
gro in labor.
What course Philip Murray, the
new CLIO chief, will take and to
what extent Lewis will continue to
exercise influence on the program
of the organization will be deter
mined by time. But in this in
stance the shifting of leadership of
the CLIO has robbed the Negro
worker of his one great champion.

Is There A Santa
Claus?

We take pleasure in answering
at once and thus prominently the
communication below, expressing
at the same time our great graft
fication that its faithful author is
numbered among friends of The
Sun:
Dear Editor-I am eight years
old. Some of my little friends say
there is no Santa Claus. Papa
says, eff you see it in the Sun it's
So" Please tell me the truth; it
there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O'Hanlon
lis West Ninety-fifth st.
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected
by the scepicism of sceptical age.
They do not believe except they
see. They think that nothing can
be which is not comprehensive by
their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether
they be mems or children's, are
little. In this great universe of
ours man is a mere insect, an ant,
in his intellect, as compared with
the boundless world about him.. as
measured by the intelligence cap
able of grasping the whole of truth
and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
exist, and you know that they
abound and give to our life its
highest beauty and joy. Alas! how
dreary would be the world if there
were no Virginias. There would be
no childlike faith then, no poetry,
no romance, to make tolerable this
existence. We should have no en-
joyment except in sense and sight
The eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be ex-
tinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus!
You might as well not believe in
fairies! You might get your papa
to hire men to watch in all the
chimneys on Christmas Eve to
catch Santa Claus, coming down,
what would that prove? Nobody
sees Santa Claus, but that is no
sign there is no Santa Claus.
The most real thing in the world
are those that neither children
nor men can see. Did you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn? Of
course not, but that's no proof
that they are not there. Nobody
can conceive or imagine all the
wonders there are unseen and I'M
seeable in the world.
You may tear apart the babys
rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but there is a veil
covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man, nor even
the united strength of all the
strongest men that ever lived,
tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poet
ry, love, romance can push aside
that curtain and view and picture
the supernal beauty and glory be-
yond. Is it all real? All, Virginia,
in all this world there is nothing
else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God He
lives and lives forever. A thousand
years from now, Virginia, nay, ten
times ten thousand years from
now, he will continue to make glad
the heart of childhood.

M. V. L.: l have a common law
husband who has been very good to
me but New Years Day was very
angry because he had stayed out
all night and 1 said many things l
shouldn't and he says he will never
do good by me any more. Is this
true?
Ans: It's going to take a long
time to convince him that you said
these things on the spur of the mo-
ment and you are sorry now. He
shouldn't have stayed away and
you shouldn't have caused a scene,
but if you make up your mind to
try to prove to him that you are
sorry, he will certainly change his
viewpoint too.
M. R. X: l have three children
and they are away from me. Please
tell me if l will be able to get them
back with me again
Ans: No, not any time in the
near future. If it is at all possible,
you should make up your mind to
get married and start life anew.
You need to stop worrying and to
settle down and try to find some
happiness in the world.

E. c.: I have a small fruit and
chicken farm and l am interested
in renting or leasing it to someone,
and wish to know if this would be
a wise step for me to take?
Ans: Dispose of the farm alto
gether. Advertise it for sale, and
put an attractive price on the farm
and get it of your hands. You don't
have the time to spend fOOling with
il, and you aren't physically able to
continue running the place your
self. This season of the year is an
excellent time to- get a buyer for
the place.
R. P. P: A fair deal is all that l
ask in the home. But my wife
doesn't seem to want to do the right
thing. l never quarrel with her and
it has been my motto to always be
kind, especially to your wife, and l
wonder what steps should be tax
en-?
Ans: The unhappiness you are
experiencing right now isn't neces-
sary you allow your wife too
many privileges and do not demand
enough of her time. Insist that she
place you before all her friends, and
have her stop eriticizing you to
others. You do your share, and let
her know that you expect the same
from her, or you will seek happi-
ness elsewhere. She will change if
you get in behind her.
J. B.: am working at the pres
ent time but can get on the
WPA if care to and | wonder
which would be the better for me
to do?
Ans: Hold to your job. Give
someone else the advantage of the
job that is open to you on the WPA.
l do think that you could better
yourself by getting a job of a little
different nature, but it isn't neces-
sary for you to think of getting
work on the WPA.. =,

Ans: The condition of your hair
is very, very poor. II is in need of
lots of scalp treatments and you
must arrange to go to the beauty
parlOr at least once a week or learn
to treat your hair at home. You
should give yourself hot (warm) oil
treatments regularly each week
and brush your hair for at least a
half hour each night. Once you
have it healthy again, it will not
be so hard to keep il that way.
