things quite differently.
A. S. M: Should I take the
money that I have saved and pay
off this mortgage and get this OLD
home place or what do you advise
Ans: Ican't see how you could
profit by assuming this great re-
spOnsibility. The mortgage amounts
to 81, 400 and the place really isn't
worth it. Let it go take your
earnings and make the change to
the north that you have been want
ing to make so very long.
w. K. c.: When we were first
married my wife proved to me that
she loved no one but me. But now
for the past two years there has
been a slight change in her and
would like to know if it is natural.
I feel that I have made up my mind
to separate. Is this right or
wrong?
Ans: Wrong give yourself
a chance to straighten out the diff
ferences between you. It is true
that she is a bit Indifferent here of
late but have you bothered your
self to see what is causing it?
Take her out in the evenings more
often than you have been doing
talk to her confidentially and
see if you can't correct the trouble.
I am sure you can if you go about
it in the right way.
Y. V. P: I'm very much in love
with boy who is nice and well
hammered. There is also another
girl. She asks him to see her but
when we are out, he always pays
more attention to me than anyone
else. He has asked for my photo
but I didn't give it to him. Tell
me, does he care?
Ans: He thinks you're mighty
fine but is in no position to
confess his love right now and he
desires to continue keeping COM
pany with both you girls. It is
very evident that he prizes your
friendship, but keep him guessing
as you are doing that makes
going with you so interesting.
Make a few more friends yourself.

I. M. K: I am a married WON.
an and my husband stays out with
another mans wife every night
He curses me and fights me when
I get after him about it. Does he
love me or her?
Ans: Right now he seems to
think that he is madly in love with
this other woman, but I feel con-
fident that he is only infatuated.
It will all blow over in time. The
best thing for you to do is to stop
saying anything at all to him about
the woman give him free rope
for a while and let him get her
out of his system altogether. If
her husband finds out . there will
be fireworks and he will be glad
to stay at home with you. A
change will take place soon.
B. B.: I'm writing to you now
for advice. Pm in love with a
high school graduate. He doesn't
seem to love me. If I were to win
his live am sure it will make me
a better girl. Tell me where his
heart is right now.
Ans: His interests aren't CEN
tered on any one girl right now .
there are bigger things for him to
think about Vt. he is trying desper-
ately to establish himself in the
business world. I do think with
your very attractive disposition
and self that you could win him
but don't throw yourself at
his feet. Arrange to be thrown in
his company, even though you may
not be with him keep yourself
charming and alluring and he will
be attracted to you no doubt.
N. K. p: My daughter and I
can't get along. It seems like she
hates me and want some advice.
Ans: At the present time your
daughter is terribly dissatisfied and
she really is upset to the extent
that she doesn't seem to care if she
makes people around her unhappy
or not. Continue on and avoid her
as much as possible don't
worry about her too much for in a
few months she is going to see

Party News:
A very nice group turned out to

What lad was trying to re-

Roosevelt Asks Congress to Double
Present Defense HOUSING PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, June 26 (UP)-
President Roosevelt asked congress
today to authorize $300,00O 900 de-
fense housing program which would
double the present program.
In a special message to congress,
M. Roosevelt said legislation
should be approved speedily to pro-
vide an increase from $500, 900 900
to $500, 100000 in the authorization
contained in the act of October
IA, 1910"
Even this doubled program, Mr..
Roosevelt said, may be inadequate.
Data have been presented to me
which indicate the possibility the
government should be prepared to
undertake the construction of at
least l25000 additional defense
homes between now and July l.,
1872" he said. 1T is thought best,
however, to limit the additional pro-
gram to 100000, ,OOO at this time,
which will permit the construction
OF approximately $4,000 houses to
I'LL the most urgent present needs.
