To the Editor Of The Star:
Mr.. William E. Kerr has said in
his letter that it is better to live
under totalitarianism than to be
free 6 feet under" He has a few
bad guesses coming to him. Before
he finally decides to live under to-
talitarianism J suggest that he read
Fritz Thyssen's letters, also THE
Revolution of Nihilism,' by Rausch-
mig. When he will have to give halt
of what he makes to the gangsters
at the helm and have his own chill
dren to spy on him in his own house
and be in deadly fear every minute
as to whether he whispered the right
thing and finally land in a concen-
tration camp for "education,' he
will conclude that it may not be so
bad to be feet under, after all.

The gentle Buddha wrote, "A man
who foolishly does me wrong, will
return the protection of my un-
grudging love. The more evil goes
from him the more good shall go
from me. Hatred does not cease by
hatred ever; hatred ceases by love. -
If this great principle were utilized
by nations, the world today would
not be WalloWing in bloody sloughs.

there not miseries enough in the
world, too difficult to be encountered

life so very long that it is necessary

Fiery. rousing speeches, such as

not in defense of the British flag on

tons.
P. A. W.: Ny husband and
have worried ourselves sick fol
such a long time and we would
like to know what would be best
for US to do about the plans that
we have?
Ans: Well you will continue to
worry until you get another car,
so you might as well make plans to
purchase some kind of car and get
over this fever. With both of you
working regularly you
shouldn't find it too expensive for
you to handle.
C. E. W.: 1 have secured a di-
vorce from my husband, but he
won't move. He makes threats
about what he is going to do and
l want to know how / can get rid
of him? -.-
Ans: He's determined not to
leave -. 1 am afraid that you will
have to take legal steps in order
to make him move his things out.
He feels now that he would like
to call the divorce off and try to
patch things up between you, but
doesn't know how to tell you. Get
this thing settled as soon as you
can.
D. M. D.: My husband has a
job and wish to know if he is
going to be successful or not?
Ans: From all indications he
will make a good worker for the
company who has employed him
although it is going to be
necessary for him to leave the
state and work for awhile this
spring. Encourage him to stick
with his firm for there is a future
for him there.

L. H.: 1 am desperate. l was
supposed to have been married last
month and was hoping to borrow
some money, but failed and 1 had
to postpone the wedding. When
can get the money to get married
on and where will it come from?
Ans: Son, borrowing money to
get married on is like "rObbing
Peter to pay Paul." it just won't
work. You had better just save as
much money as you can each week
from your own salary, and when
you feel that you have enough
ahead, then make arrangements to
marry. Marrying when you have
debts to pay spells unhappiness, so
don't start your marriage off
wrong.
o. J. L.: Would it do me any
good to go to the hospital as
haven't got much faith in myself
anyway?
Ans: When the critical mo-
ment comes, you will show faith
and want to recover the same as
anyone else in your condition. Yes,
take your Doctors suggestion and
make arrangements to go to the
hospital when he advises it .
whether you realize it or not, you
are just as anxious to get well as
your doctor is to see you well.
C. A. M: l am still in love with
my first husband. Tell me if l am
waiting in vain and does he mean
the things he writes to me and his
daughter? How can / send for my
Astrology reading?
Ans: At times your first hus-
band feels that he will never be
satisfied without you and his
daughter again then at other
times he doesn't seem to miss you
very much. Although it is indicated
to me that during one of these de-
pressed spells of his, he will make
a trip to visit you and you prob
ably will go back together. If you
desire one of my AstrOlOgy Read
ings, just wrap a quarter in a
