would keep me up until got work.
Now have got to make up my
mind real soon, and I don't know
which way to turn, so help me?
Ans: Sell your furniture and go
with her. You are alone here, and
you will find living in the north
quite pleasant and you will be able
to get good paying employment.
The next important step in your
life will be a marriage and happy
one, too.
A. W. R.: l wish to know if
will be successful in the work of
Beauty Culture as a side line!
Ans: No doubt you would. Open
shop Immediately after your
school closes and you will make a
comfortable living during vacation
time. To be prepared for two fields
is a good idea neither of them
will become very boring to you, and
you will be able to enjoy more
luxuries in life.
A. M: Did my husband have a
date with his first wife during the
past summer? 1 have been suspi-
cious of this fact but don't know.
Ans: Not with the first wife . E.
she was through with him the day
they parted and she will never give
you trouble about him. She is more
familiar with him than you are, and
she doesn't want him. There is no
truth to the thought that you are
holding in your mind, so forget it.
J. NJ. c.: l graduated from high
school two years ago. l have given
some serious thought lately to en-
tering a school for nurses. Do you
recommend this kind of work for
one of my disposition?
Ans: A worthy profession for
one OF your type and feel that you
will make a fine nurse. Register
at the best hospital in the city, and
try to get enrolled as soon as pos
sible.
S. NJ. D.: l am very much in love
with a boy and l wish to know if
we should get married as we plan ?
Could we be happy?
Ans: Both of you have had dis
appointments in life and since
you two are in love with one an
other, you won't find it hard to get
along and be happy. also feel
that this man will be very kind to
your little son >. don't marry any
one who doesn't approve of your
boy.

Adequate School Lunch

To maintain a good food balance,
the noon school lunch should include
milk, fruit or tomato juice; one pro-
TEN food like eggs, meat, fish or
cheese; bread and butter, and one
vegetable, preferably raw. The
vegetable may be used as a sand
wich filling, or it may be celery
stalks, carrot or turnip sticks with
salt. Whole wheat bread should be
used at least half Of the week for
these lunches. Cookies or cup cakes
are preferable to sliced cake be-
cause they carry much better. II
the teacher serves one hot dish at
noon, the children should know the
menu week in advance so the
mother will know just what to send
from home to complete the lunch.

Medieval Castles

In medieval times a feudaI lords
home literally was his castle. But
more than a home in most cases
was this castle. 1t was a fortress
into the protection of which the feud-
al lord and his retainers could with.
draw to stand a sustained siege
when beset by enemies. The term
castle (from the old French and
Anglo-Saxon casteD itself originally
meant a circular mound of earth,
flattened on top and surrounded by
q ditch. Around the crest Of its
summit was a palisade.

E. R.: viii the trip that l am
planning better my condition in any
way? Let me know if it would
change my life?
Ans: Making the trip to Chica-
go would influence you to change
your m d about an immediate
marriage l advise you to go to
Chicago for awhile as it would
make you take a new outlook on
life. You will marry this year .
but not to the man that you are
going with now.
j. NJ. W.: Will / succeed in this
college that 1 am attending or not Z?
Am l feeble minded or just what
is my trouble?
Ans: You have plenty of brain
power but you don't have the
desire to use it by studying. The
college you are attending is just as
good school as any of the others,
and if you don't study and try to
pass there, you won't do any bet
ter elsewhere. Start digging and
stop trying to excuse your laziness
by insinuating that you are feeble
minded.
D. G. H.: A friend of mine told
me way to stop this man of mine
from drinking whiskey. She told me
to get the CUTS out of a fish and
put it in a half pint of whiskey and
let it stay all night then strain it
and give it to him and l wish to
know if that would kill him?
Ans: Don't be fool enough to try
it. There is a possibility of it max
ing him very sick and it won't
change his taste for whiskey one
bit. If he found out that you tried
a stunt of this kind on him, he
wouldn't ever speak to you again.
If you don't like his drinking, then
you had better give him up, for
drinking is a part of him.
C. R. R.: My husband stays out
all night, sometimes comes home
at almost day, but insists that he
isn't going with women. Now l
want to know if 1 had a baby for
him, would it change him any?
Ans: Heavens, no. Don't try it.
A husband who isn't considerable
of his wife during early marriage,
isn't going to change much if a
child was born. l advise you against
having a child under the present
circumstances for he just isn't 60
ing to change any time soon.

Politicians Frequently
Regarded sDisdainfuIly

If the people and the politicians
can get together with any kind of a
disinterested motive it means that
democracy is just so much better off.
The great difficulty in the path, T.
v. Smith, as former congressman
at-large from Illinois, says, is the
fact that democracy is government
by politicians for citizens who too
often regard them with disdain."
T. v. Smith had an interesting
adventure in politics. He was a pro-
fessor at the University of Chicago
who had served successfully in his
state legislature and might have had
a more prominent career in con-
gress If more of his colleagues had
known him better. He was well
liked and appreciated by few. but
simply not known to the many.
AS some of his admirers said, Mr..
Smith was not enough Of a politi-
clan himself to stsy in politics. But
he was enough Of one to have
learned about this "disdain" he
mentions. He calls 1t a dangerous
disease.
Politicians" he believes, ARE
the secular priests of our common
faith in one another. Either they
attend to our joint business or that
joint business gets neglected. If it
gets neglected. then democracy fails
from inefficiency."
Mr.. Smith has written little 100
page book called THE Legislative
Way Of Life" the fruit Of his long
studies Of government enriched by
personal experiences in Springfield
and Washington. It is particularly
timely because although written by
a Democrat its purpose is much
the same as the one suggested by
Mr.. Wilkes loyal opposition. in
that it attempts to bring the people
a closer understanding Of the '1egis-
lative way" our way Of running a
government.
The author says he wants ito leave
a heavy deposit Of fear Of any COM
peting way Of life" and also Ito
leave deposit Of Joy from and faith
in the legislative enterprise" ''Un.
less public matters are adjusted
legislatively," he says, private
freedom disappears"
Understanding Of our methods is
the answer. he believes. His book
win help that and it will entertain
and amuse as well as instruct.

farm gates this fall. When the
Okies and their ilk failed to call.
rural America didn't feel socially

lem had come up for a lot of farm;
ers.
Who kept the Okies from keeping
their date in the harvest field?
Why Herr Hitler, of course.
Here in Washington we don't know
just how many families making up
the 100000 migrants who are
needed by agriculture to help out
at harvest time didn't show up this
year but we do know a number were
detected into work in connection
with the defense program. Reports
reaching the Federal Security ad-

than one section of the country farm
labor has been at a premium. Real
shortage of labor hasn't turned up

shortage in the skills that is bound
to affect the surplus farm popula-

The one question which / think is
most often asked me is this: What
are the chances of rebellion of the
German people against the Nazi re-
gime?
This is my answer:
We must remember the Nazis
have perfected the most efficient
counter-revolutionary machine in
history. Regardless of how the peo-
pie may feel they are virtually help
less.
But there is a report being read
by officials in Washington which con-
tains these observations:
There are two conditions under
which revolt might take place in
Germany: First, a series of defeats
of the German armies. Second, q
winter as bad as last year.
Revolt in Germany would be fol.
lowed, If not preceded, by revolt In
the occupied countries.
Conditions in Italy are very bad.
