band about his running around. AS
long as you put up with his run
ming around you won't find
happiness.
X. P. o.: l am planning on tax
ing out some insurance on myself,
mother and brother, and l wish to
know if it would be a waste of
money? I do want to do the right
thing.
Ans: Insurance is a wonderful
investment. Before deciding def
nitely on the policies you intend to
take out talk to someone else
who sells insurance and see what
kind of policies can be offered you
for the same money. All the rates
run about the same. =. just want
you to be sure that you are salts
fed with your policies before TAX
ing them out and the more they are
discussed the more familiar
you will become with them. Insur-
ance isn't a waste of money.

/
/ o. j.: My granddaughter was
given me on his mothers death bed.
let him go down to his grand
mothers funeral in December and
they promised to send him back.
They haven't yet. Tell me if 1 will
get him?
Ans: Not Immediately. 1t seems
to me that an aunt on his mothers
side also wants this yOungster. If
she cares for him right, leave him
there for awhile. In the meantime
contact his father and let him de-
eide where he prefers his son to
live. He will spend part of his time
with you.
NJ. c.: Are the things people say
about my husband true? viii he
change in the future? Why does
he act as he does? Are the As
trology Readings ready and when
may l get one?
Ans: Well I am sure that you
realize that many of the things
said about your husband are true
and / doubt seriously if he will
change his ways any time soon.
He's not ambitious and never was
and doesn't seem to know how to
get out and do anything. Give this
matter serious thought before re-
turning to him. Yes, the AstrOlOgy
Readings are ready. Send a quarter
for yours at any time. Be sure to
send full name, birthdate and cor
rect address.
F. C. A.: 1 have been living with
my daughter for the past five
months and 1 wish to know if l
should continue to keep house for
her or to go South to seek work?
Ans: Due to the fact that your
finances are not adequate to carry
you through the summer there &.
1 suggest that you do make a
change to the South and see if you
can't find work. The change will do
you both good you won't have
anything to lose : but so much
to gain by this vacation.
S. E.: My husband is interested
in selling his town property and
do you think that his plans are for
the best?
Ans: Yes it seems to me
that he would be using good judg-
ment to dispose of his property in
the city and arrange to buy the
tract of land he is interested in out
in the country. Advertise the prop
erty for sale =. also get some Real
Estate Agency to help him dispose
of it. He will be more cOntented
out on a farm.
N. F.: 1 am worried about my
daughter out in California and /
want to know if she needs any help
and do you think she and her hus-
band are having family troubles?
Ans: Don't worry about your
daughter. If there was anything
wrong . she would write you. 1t
seems to me that she just neglects
writing and it is very likely that
you will hear from her within a few
months time.
L. V. T.: Does the man who tells
me that he feels sorry for anyone
in my shoes mean more than just
what he expresses? Will l ever be
happy again?
Ans: This man is sorry for you
in a selfish way he would like
to step in and keep you company
while your husband is out with this
other woman, but he doesn't want
you to leave your husband for him,
1 don't think it wise to build up
| anu dreams about this man Come

JUNE HAWKINS was

Ky. JUNE HAWKINS was
presented in a fine recital up in
Duluth last week. Who is this
JIMMY" who thinks charming
RUTH MAJORS is ''tops"?
This Weeks Tale of Two Cities:
SHE is Mpls. woman in her early
thirties, quite well respected by all
and kinda easy on the eye. For
many years she has kept people
guessing about who her true love-
light is-and, at last, now is tell
ing her close friends about her Sc
cret engagement to quite a fine,
middle-aged gent go years her
senior, of St. Paul.. He is very
devoted to her and thinks the sun
rises and sets on her, and She
well, she just says she thinks he's
too fine. They plan to marry in
June, but, friends, there is a sad
hitch and this is it: Our middle
aged hero has a daughter who is
just a few years younger than our
heroine. The daughter lives with
poppa and plans to continue to live
with poppa and, at the same time,
she absolutely despises her step
mama-to-be because of some past
incident which happened number
of years back. Ut seems that sew
eral years ago our step-mama-to-
be actually broke the daughters
engagement to young fellow and
the daughter has never forgotten,
and, what's more, has vowed to get
even ever since.) So, this seems
to be the chance she has been wait
ing for. She plans to make life
perfectly miserable for the step
mama-to-be when she marries the
middle-aged gent. Problem: What
should our heroine do? Should she
marry her loveight, the middle
aged gent, knowing that this
daughter will make her life a tor
ment, or shall she give him up be-
cause she knows he loves his
daughter beyond words? What
would you do?

But in the other 909o, the motor
lists involved in accidents attribut-
ed their misfortunes primarily to
an error in behavior on the part of
themselves, the driver or some
other vehicle involved, or some

If this ratio Of blame, establish

clusion would be that misdirected

DRIVERS TO BLAME IN
500 OF CAR MISHAPS
CRASH REPORTS SHOW

In 900 of the more than 1880
traffic accidents resulting in per-
sonal injuries or serious damage to
one or more motor vehicle in Mimi
esota last year, the driver was, by
his own admission, the principal
cause of the accident.
Prevalence of this human factor
as a major cause contributing to
motor vehicle mishaps is shown
by check made this week of
accident reports received by the
Department Of Highways during
the year.
These reports are made out by
the drivers themselves, under the
confidential status provided by
law for relationships between the
reporting driver and the Depart
ment of Highways.
In about so of the accident re-
ports, drivers listed faulty or de-
fective condition Of the highway as
a contributing cause of the acct
dent. About so more list in their

SURVEY SHOWS $40 OF
STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY
SURFACES IMMACULATE

Speaking before the state con-
vention Of the Minnesota Associat-
ion OF County Commissioners and
the 1900 guests at the Northwest
Good Roads conclave in Mimi
eapolis, Highway Commissioner
M. y. Hoffman, last week made
some rather shocking disclosures
concerning the State Trunk High
way system.
He revealed for the first time
some Of the findings, now being
incorporated into a report for the
Legislature, as a result of a three
year study of Minnesota road con-
ditions by the Statewide Highway
Planning Survey, a joint project
cooperated in by the State High
way department, the U. S. Public
Roads Administration and the
Works Project Administration.
Declaring that the road users of
Minnesota might just as well face
the facts, Commissioner Hoffman,
asserted that the report, although
uncompleted, has already disclosed
that 5,429 miles, or $780,, of the
rural mileages of the state trunk
highways, have surfaces inadequ-
ate to carry the traffic they are
called on to bear. This leaves only
1850 miles of rural routes on the
entire trunk highway system which
can be considered to have adequate
surfaces that is, adequate as to
both surface type and width.
The report thus far has not list
ed existing deficiencies in grades,
alignments, or general condition
of roadway, nor has it, as yet, even
touched upon the equally import
ant and oft-times more costly i'm
provement needs of those trunk
highway mileages which lie within
the municipal boundaries of cities
and villages.
AS an example of the rapid rate
at which increased traffic demands
have rendered even the older trunk
highways inadequate, Commission
Ell IIoffmann pointed out that, just
eight years ago, the Highway de-
partment reported to the legislat-
ure that the existing 6,735 miles of
the old constitutional trunk system
was 1870 completed. That report
listed 2,411 miles Of pavement
Zip miles of bitumous, and 500
miles Of gravel, or a total of 5,092
miles of the constitutional trunk
system as being adequately i'm
proved. Only 1,642 miles, or $50
were listed as unsatisfactory.
Today, on these routes, despite
the fact that millions of dollars
have been expended for their fur
Their improvement, all of the old Is
foot pavement and $50 Of the &c
foot pavement are now inadequate
for traffic needs. Likewise 60.5%
of the bituminous and gravel roads
on that system now are definitely
inadequate.
This means that the same mile
ages which eight years ago were
considered 1870 complete are today,
