ANSWER. l think a solution 10
this problem to some extern should
be a Back to School Movement Of
Negroes TO learn TO do something
with their hands. Some type Of
trade or job in skilled industry will
solve the problem FIRST The Negro
has nothing 10 offer. Those who
are working are spending money
for pleasure and very few are pre-
pairing for part in the industrial
program. Instead OF agitation they
should take advantage OF the oppor-
iunities Of training that are being
offered. They have been too con-
tended and too satisfied with their
lot. The churches can do much
about spreading the propaganda OF
getting prepared hrst and then de
mand action.

-WE, THE WOMEN -- --- Wife Is Seldom a Real Helpmate WhenHerHuSbandTe I TellSaStOry

And, of course, there is always the wife who acts tl1sulted if her hus- band starts telling story new to her. "Why, you never told me that" !" she says accusingly. If there is 8 girl in the story, even though it dates back before her marriage, there's likely to be a sharp edge on her voice. Y.
 Everybody knows the wife who won't let her husband, a born story teller, get away with. exaggerating and adding to a little incident to make 1t really funny. She lets everyone in on the fact that he really didn't say or do just what he claims he did.
 You'll recognize, too, the woman who is sure her husband is boring everyone to death the minute he mentions anything that has to do with his work-though it is probably on that subject that he talks best. Now Edgar" she says, cant you forget the office for just 8 little while?"
 It's an odd thing what a wonder full listener the average woman is until she marrieS the man.

By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer


 One of the best-loved stars Of the stage has a face so homely that she can amuse herself = and mil- lions of fans = by describing her physiogomy. Of course the ac- tresS has . rare sense of humor and a remarkable voice. It takes years to develop 8 sense of humor, some times, but any woman can improve the quality of her speaking voice within few months.
 To have a nice voice one needn't necessarily have a low tone. A girl can speak pleasantly even though her natural pitch is high. Her tone should be full, though, and in order to get that roundness she needs to make her breathing -ap- paratus work properly. The quality of her tone depends on it.
 Breathing exercise, therefore, is a fine way to start voice i'm proyement. First check your breath ing habits. Press your palms against your ribs, above your waist line, and take 8 breath. Do you feel your sides pressing harder against your hands? You should. Correct breathing expands the chest sidewards instead of forward.
 Try it again in reverse order; press in, hard, exhaling. Then in hale deeply and. feel how the hands are forced apart. In time you'll breathe correctly without giving it a thought.
