or not!
Ans: Well, it is a known fact
that the more you say to this boy
about his girl friend the more
he will think of her. Say nothing
more to him, you have let him
know how you feel and it hasn't
done any good so let him work out
his own problems. It is very likely
that he will get over the affair in
a few months time.
H. G. F.: Recently I finished a
course in Beauty Culture and have
been working in my home ever
since. Although it is violating the
state law to work in rooms where
you live. I have a chance to open
a place up town and don't have
so many customers now and want
to know if l should take it or not ?
Ans: Before you can ever hope
to make any money in your chosen
field, you are going to have to open
a little shop. Take the place that
you have looked at if the rent isn't
too high. The sooner you get out
and become located the quicker
you will make new customers and
start doing some good business.

der?" The Governors first reply
was that he did not know what
would happen to him. Then the
Governor said in effect that he
might be accused of not cooperat-
ing with the defense program and
that he might be impeached. Mrs.
Holsumback said that "You must
be afraid of something" Where
upon the Governor answered, 81 am
not afraid of anything fear is
not a part of me-" That answer
left everyone wondering, since the
Governor had spent most of the
evening saying that he couldn't do
something that he wanted to do.
Stassen Made Hit
The Governor made a hit with
the crowd in his apparent frank
ness, his ready smile and his will
ingness to discuss the matter in
the open as he did. Governor Stas-
sen did not appear to be in hurry
and it was Chairman Alsup who
stopped the discussion at 1920 and
all relaxed when the famed Mime
sofa Jubilee singers, under the d.
rection of Samuel Herrod, sang,
"Soon Well Be Done With the
Cares of This World" Chairman
Alsup lauded the Governor, when

sion, "He can take it."
Did Not Applaud His Excuses
1t is significant to note that not
a single person applauded while
the Governor cited many instances
to prove that he was not prejudiced
and had not Disseminated against
the Negro. About the only ap-
plause that the Governor did re-
ceive was when near the close of
his address he said that he would
not let partisan politics keep him
from cooperating with the Presi-
dent in the defense program of the
nation. 49,
Among others who spoke were
w. Jackson, C. J. Smith,. Ben Peery
and w. P. Warricks.
Most of the crowd was plainly
disappointed in the Governors con-
tinual saying that he could not is
sue the order to abolish discrinira-
ton in the Home Defense as much
as he would like to. Many persons
in the crowd continued to say that
"there must be first time" in
reply to the Governors argument
that it has not been done in any of
the other states.

C.. C. B.: I have been here with
this man for seven years and it
makes me mad for him to say any
thing to me and he wants to keep
up with every penny l spend but
he won't tell me what he makes a
week. Should l stay on with him
or go back to the man I used to be
with?
Ans: Don't leave with the in
tentiOn of going back to the man
you used to be with for he doesn't
want you. There is someone else
in his life right now. If you make
a change, l would suggest that you
stay alone for awhile. Pick you a
husband next time and you will
get along better.

Ans: No, not for you or any

YOUNGSTER. You can't operate
a car until you are sixteen and you
certainly have no means for paying
for an auto right now. It's very
Mise that you see the Importance of

work that you can do right now.

Newman Challenges Governor
To Do
When Governor Stassen stated
that he had told the Defense Com
mittee that he would work with
them changing or in making a
test of the discriminatory Army
code, Cecil Newman, publisher of
the st. Paul Recorder and Mime
apolis Spokesman, challenged the
Governor to strike the first blow
in the matter, by ordering that Ne
groes be enlisted in the Minnesota
Home Defense Force. eff it's the
Army's fault put the Army on the
spot" he said. democracy in this
country is on trial because many
citizens are preaching one thing
and practicing another" Newman
declared.
Rev. Moore Urges Governor
"The basic thing for a governor
or president to do is to back up
what is right whether it is
against written or unwritten law
or not" declared the Rev. Benja-
min N. Moore, pastor of the St.
James A.M.E. Church, st. Paul, in
an impassioned plea to the Gov
ernor to issue the order to abolish
discrimination in the Defense
Force.
Jonas Schwartz Scores
One of the most tense moments
of the meeting came when Jonas
Schwartz, a white attorney of
Minneapolis, told the Governor
that he and other lawyers had been
searching for months and had been
unable to find the discriminatory
code in the Army regulations that
the Governor constantly referred
| to.
He pointed out to the Governor
"as one lawyer to another" that
regardless of the practice that dis
elimination was not the constitu-
tional law of the Army and that in
any test case discrimination could
not be upheld. He urged the Gov
ernor to issue "Order 19A" stat
ing that "there shall be no dis
elimination in the Minnesota Home
Defense Force on account of black
ness, Jewishness, Catholicism Or
what not" Order 10 is an execu-
tive order by the Governor setting
up the Home Defense Force. There
is no discriminatory clause in the
order.
Miss Garden
Miss Myrtle Garden, director of
the Halle @. Brown House and a
member of the Defense Committee,
told the Governor that it was in
cumbent upon him, in this state
farthest north, to set the pace
for democracy in the nation. "Our
Governor must find some way by
which Negroes can be defended and
we do not ask our Governor to defy
the law, but defend and uphold the
law" Miss Garden declared, in an
swer to the Governor when he tried
to point out that he would have to
defy the law to issue the order
against discrimination in the De-
tense Force.
Mrs. HOlsumback Asks Pointed
Questions
Possibly the most pointed ques-
tons of the evening were asked by
Mrs. Della Holsumback of st. Paul.
When the Governor continued to
say that he could not issue the Or
der, Mrs. Holsumback asked him,
"Why can't you issue the order?
What do you think will happen to
you if you did issue such an Or

SHOPPING MADE EA5Y;
 CERTIFICATE

The invention of the gift certi- ficate almost solved the Christmas gift problem for thousands of per- plexed males who had subrlitted dutifully each year, to period of ogling price tags in department stores and gingerly attempting to avoid being swept toward lingerie counters by tides of determined fcminity.
 i It was a swell idea. You spent twenty minutes or so running about buying gift certificates, distributed them on Christmas, and let the | folks do their own shopping. on tho theory that they could get what they wanted.
 But the ladies have developed a specialized technique and have car ried further the idea of securing i Christmas gifts, which will be re- membercd and used long after the 1 holiday season.
 i The gift certificate idea is still a good one but it looks as though i you'll have to sharpen up your pre- Christmas planning little this year. It will be worth it, though, for specializing will give you the ! fine satisfaction which comes after thoughtful planning of any kind. ! As matter of fact, you'n prob- ably be amazed at the speed and precision with which you'll be able 1 to pick up Christmas gifts. which will express thoughtfulness and dis elimination on your part and which will be appreciated by your rela- tives and friends.
 l The gift certificate idea may be applied to a lot of simple, every day things which you probably never considered before as Christ mas presents, and which will be re- ceived with surprise as well as with gratitude.
 Fer instance, you may send a taxicab credit card for any amount. Any Juneau cab company will sell you enc and your friend will have insurance against wet feet or soak ed clothes on rainy days, and also against missing luncheon or card party dates on those occasions, when a bad battery or a flat tire stops the family automobile unex- pectedly.
 You may buy credit for relatives CT friends for all sorts of necessary items-for cigarettes, or for book rental at lending library, or for gasoline. You may arrange hotel room or suite for any given num- bers of week-ends for friends who live out-of-town. There are cnd- less variations on this idea
 You may send magazine or news paper subscriptions of all kinds. A membership in book of the month

Mistletoe Loses Charms
 When Berries Are Gone

In the language of flowers, Mistle- toe means give me kiss" This has its basis in a Scandinavian myth. And from this old tale we de- rive our custom of kissing under the mistletoe.
 As it hangs upon the chandelier or in the doorway. each lad may claim . kiss from the maid who chances beneath it with this pro- vision: that the lad remove berry to give to the maid, until. at last. when no berries are left. the bough loses it's spell and no more kisses are then available.
 The story continues that the maiden who receives no kisses un- der the mistletos will not marry that year."

came the greatest of festivals, cele- brated with fetes, nativity plays ano general jollity. Many of our rollick- ing carols date to this gay pe- riod of yule rejoicing.
 Such pomp and merriment marked the Christmas of Shake spcare's England, when l2-day festive period was observed. Work was abandoned and young and old gave themselves over to merry making.
 The Puritans frowned upon the pleasures of the season. however so in l64d Parliament prohibited festivities and ordered the day kept as a fast.

clubs is Christmas present which will provide the recipient with read ing until the next holiday season.
 The idea of earmarking your gift certificates for particular things, in which you know your friends are interested, will enable them to i'm dulge in the luxury or extravaganza, at their leisure, and without any of the usual qualms of conscience, which usually accompany a decis- fen to plunge little on items out side the budget.
 There are hundreds of things not necessarily expensive, for which gift certificates should be sent, flowers, beauty treatments, ski lessons, stockings for women, neckties or shoes, or credit at an automobile garage, or sporting goods for men.
 Give it little thought
 It sort of grows on you after you've started planning.

 DELLA ROBBIA-An old idea that has a classic enduring beauty is the use of small, perfect, real fruits entwined with Christmas greens to make garlands and wreaths for Christmas decorations. Especially decorative is a wreath like this made on stout frame in- tet with candleholders and suspend cd from above by stout cords of rib- bons.
