being elected TO teach where you were
employed for two years-you are in
need of a change 50 take advantage
o. this opportunity Of not having any
work. You would maxi q wonderful
nurse and 1 strongly re mmend that
you enter nurse training Just as soon
as you can.
R r M love this young man and
want to know if we viii 60 back

Ans: IT'S regretable that this young

l. C-my wife and I can never get
along and wish TO know if it would
be Just as well to let her 20 and trv
the girl that I was with the other
night?
Ans: Give her fair warning that the
next time she packs UP and leave
She will not b. welcome when y7e
returns. On the other hand you
should be little kinder and more
thoughtful to your wife and let the
other girls alone. You would be
foolish to give up your wife foc this
girl you have only seen one time for
she doesn't love you.
L BLOW can l get the money that
| saw my brother saving back last
spring?
Ans; He drew the money out hims il
and used it. Sitting wishing for an
inheritance is poor business-you will
have to get out and hustle for every
cent that you will ever have.
c R Is my job at stake? Please
tell me what to do?
Ans: Overlook the new man being
placed over you for he is more
qualified than you are-in the mean
time, work as you have never work
ed before and you will continue to
hold your job.
j Nd Cit is my ambition to finish
college and l wonder if can ar
range it before I reach twenty-five
years of age?
Ans: Of course you can. You only
save one more year in college and
y you work hard during this winter
and the early summer you can save
enough to begin your course in Sep
tember. ALLOW nothing to interfere
with your finishing school.
c A-is c. C. sincere in telling me
that he will be all through with L.
n. K. by December and why is he
so afraid of her and slips in and out
OF my house?
Ans: Yeu are the one who is getting
fooled-not E II K. If there l. any
dropping to be done, he will drop
you my friend and it would be to
your advantage TO give him u1 night
now. No man Is worthy OF your az
lection if he can't show his attentions
to you in the open.
B W M-Please tell me if my hus-
band is going to realize anything
from the estate of his brother?
Ans: A very meager sum will be
issued to your husband from this
source-there are many legal techni-
calities that will have to be settled
before anyone profits from this estate.

RECURRENCE OF
 QUAKE UNCERTAIN

Boston, Dec. 21 = (UP) --Scien- tists today differed on the likelihood of recurrence of the earthquake which rocked all New England yes- terday.
 Professor Kirtley F. Mather of Harvard University predicted that yesterdays disturbance would be the first of a series building up to ! major quake" such as that of 1925. Mather expressed opinion that in six or eight months larger quake which might do little damage" would be felt in southern New England.
 Harvard Seismologist L. Donald Leet disagreed with Mather, pre- dieting that no after shocks need be anticipated. Expressing belief that yesterdays shock had center ed approximately 50 miles below the surface of the earth, he said that after-shock from SO deep a disturb ance was rare.

Double Inquiry Today
 In Drug Store Blaze
Iggett's Recently Renovated Establishment Suffers
 $l,OOO ss-Big Stock Menaced By Blaze

A double Investigation was under way into the cause of fire which threatened the recently-renovated interior and the $60,0OO worth of stock at the Liggett Drug Company store in Exchange Place few min- utes after midnight. The fire mar ehal's staff and store officials were making the inquiry.
 Eight companies of firemen sped to the scene and the blaze was quickly extinguished, but firemen remained for more than two hours to guard against another outbreak. Damage to the property was esti- mated at 5000. An inventory was underway today to determine the amount of damage to stock caused by smoke and water.
 Business was carried on as usual at the store today. Workmen were busy repairing the damage. The soda fountain and the prescription departments were not affected by the fire.
 A squad of policemen directed by Superintendent William J. Roach and Captain Fred Hickey diverted traffic from the center and handled the large crowd of pedestrians that gathered. Mayor Vincent A. Scully was one of the spectators.
 The fire started in the cellar of the North Main street side of the store, which only recently was com pletely modernized. It spread through the flooring and partitions, but had not made any great head way when firemen arrived. Firemen directed by Chief Thomas F. Cav- anaugh quickly brought it under control.
 The blaze was discovered by Will liam Butler, night janitor. The alarm was rung in at l2:06 by Pa trolman Jerry Kenney. Patrolman Harold Green, also on duty in the center, broke open door to let the janitor escape.

Stimulated by national defense ac- tivity the United States can for 1941 look forward toward increasing im- provement in all fields: trade, in- dustry, agriculture and labor.
 That is the forecast for the coming year by Henry H. Heimann, execu- tive manager of the National Asso- citation of Credit Men, the nations second largest general bushes or- ganization. This better outlook will in his opinion be subject to the de- velopments in Europe.
 "But although the year ahead gives every indication of more activity and improved income, it should not be forgotten that the whole structure upon which this rests is artificial. Production for defense cannot over a long-range period improve the basic standard of living" MT. Hei- mann points out.
 What it gives now by spending it will take sooner or later. When the temporary prosperity has been har- vested, debt, maintenance or arma- ment and armed forces, and taxation will face us for years to come. In 1941 the American people will get a taste of what European taxation has been in the past.
 Should recent rumorS of peace materialize, which is not at present conceded to any important degree, there will be a subsequent retarding influence on the growing activity re- Sulting from our war sales abroad and our defense program require ments. The latter will, however, con- tinue to stimulate domestic opera tions and keep the trend upward over the next twelve-month period.
 "The reaction of an early peace in our security and exchange mar kets would be noticeable but un- doubtedly lessened in intensity and spread over a considerable period by anticipation on the part of buyers and sellers.
 "Once peace becomes an actuality in Europe, however, the replace ment needs and human needs of Eu- ropean people will be such as to cause any temporary business hesi- tancy occasioned by peace to be fol- lowed by a temporary prosperity re- sulting from replacement of neces- sitous goods in the war-torn area. U. s. and War
 "The great problem in 1941 is our own position with respect to the war, that is, whether we will become active participants or will continue the policy of all aid short of actual preparation. That deci- sion rests upon future events but, needless to say, is decision that must be weighed most carefully. Anv decision that is made must al-

SEARCH FOR COREY
 MOVES TO BOSTON

Hull, Mass, Dec. 21.-(UP)-The search for George Corey, 27, of Sa- lem, Northeastern University grad uate and alleged slayer of Kenneth s. Legro, 30, centered in Boston to- day after police there found his abandoned auto in waterfront parking lot.
 Legro, former Dartmouth Col lege hockey player, was shot fatally Monday night as he returned from work to greet his bride of three months at their cottage here Later police issued a murder warrant for Corey whom they descr bed as a re- jected suitor of the widow.
 Parking lot attendants said the auto was left early Tuesday morn- ing before opening time. Corey had rented the car at Salem 8 few hourO before the murder. It had been driven 83 miles.
 The possibility that Corey might still be hiding in Boston sent police on a house. to- house inspection of the south end where he formerly lived.
 State Police Lieut.. A. L. Brouillard checked with ticket agents at Bos- tons South Station to determine whether Corey boarded a train in his flight. Police discounted the idea he might have drowned him. self in nearby Fort Point Channel.

i ways have in mind the nnainfe- nance of this nation in strong 1Is nancial and physical condition 60 that it will continue to represent the strongest republican form og government.
 "1941 will decide whether ths revolution throughout the world now in progress will fully liquidnto the economic environment this gcr~ eration has known or whether e reaction will set in that will justify past practices and start the world back on sound recovery basis. 1t is a year that will require great thought, much tolerance, an abiding faith and a tremendous amount oe courage.
 "The new years resolution of ev~ cry thinking citizen should be one of determination to study the use to which our great credit stores can be put once the conflict abroad has ceased. In the judicious use of these great credit stores will be found the answer to the restora- tion of a peaceful world. When the reconstruction period comes, credit will play the most important part. Abundant Credit
 Our vast accumulation of credit places upon us a tremendous re. sponsibility, one which in the inter- est of civilization we dare not and must not Shirk. Meanwhile our do- mestic economy must be soundly programmed not along for our own good but, more important, for the influence it can have upon other nations.
 "The eyes of the world will be focused in our direction in 1941. We should never forget that what we do-and how we do it-can largely determine the future destiny of the civilization we have known"
 As to specific phases of the na- tion's activity, MT. Heimann fore- sees general improvement in re- tailing with emphasis, because of the defense activity, in the consumer goods field. He qualities this, how ever, in the event that the goyern- ment issues bonds for direct sale to the public and thereby drains off the rising consumer purchasing power.
 Agriculture" he states, ..can look to 1941 with reasonable assure ance despite loss of export markets due to the war. Farm income should equal or slightly exceed that in 1940. There will be no runaway market nor will the farm boom days of 1915-20 return. Should peace ensue there would be some tempo rary greater demand for our farm products abroad.
 Labor gains in the year l94l will witness considerable consolidation. The year will also exact of the labor leadership a stricter account- ing than it has in the past. The public will hardly be in mood to tolerate unwarranted labor de. mandS that interefere with adeuuata | defense production.
 "1f labor gets its house in order and its leadership exercises greater vision than it has heretofore shown. then we can expect a drift in 194i towards labor controlled govern pent," he concludes.
