o. PLEASE tell me if my sis
ter will overcome the shortness Of
mind that she has? At times she
is so bard to get along with.
have carried her to different doc
tors and they say she can't be
helped. Please give my worries
some ease?
Ans: The chances are that she
will remain in this same condition
for the balance Of her life and the
sensible thing for you to do is stop
worrying because she is so much
bother. If you feel you can't do by
her as you should, there is a state
institution that she can be sent to
and will be cared for properly.
While she is with you try only
to make her satisfied and don't let
the little things she says and does
get on your nerves as you must
make allowances for anyone who
isn't exactly right in the mind.
X. X.-I have a friend and he
says he came to my house to give
me money to buy my present. DID
he really?
Ans: His intentions were good
to some extent but when he
found you away from home he
spent the money and didn't make
any effort to give you a present
His excuse isn't logical enough
why didn't he buy yOa a present
and keep it until you met again.
wouldn't accept the excuse if
were you.
w. WIN you please advise
me what steps to take to get my
sentence cut? l don't know whom
to communicate with?
Ans: feel that it is a bit tOC
early to be thinking Of getting you
sentence cut make up you
mind to serve your sentence ant
in the meantime do the work lait
out for you to the best Of you
ability and after a reasonable

Have you heard that one of st.
Paul's flashy sirens says she's GO
ing to take some candid camera
shots of some of the basketball
players and audience at the Credja-

Tale of the Week:
One of our middleaged men
wanted to get rid Of his nephew
the other day. Said nephew has
cost him considerable every year.
He thought if he could marry him
of and get him out of his home it
would be better all around. But
all the hints he made to the boy
about getting married were sneered
at and of no avail. Either the girls
were all too old or too young or
too bad tempered, etc. In despair
the uncle went to a matrimonial
agent who showed him his register
and photographs of some of his
clients. Imagine the uncle's aston
iShment when he discovered among
them his own wife's likeness.
Nearly out of his mind he rushed
home and sternly demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. Il can't deny the fact"
said she gently, "but it was last
year, my dear, when you nearly
died with pneumonia and had been
given up by all the doctors" INA
turally, l had to look out for the
future" So you see, folks, the old
uncle now has double trouble. Shall
he overlook wifie's premature acti-
tiles and then, again, shall he let
the nephew stay on?
Just heard that Katherine, the
waitress at Jim's Tavern, has been
offered a golden opportunity to sing
with Les Hite's orchestra, now ap-
pearing in Chicago. 'Tis said Kath-
crimes in quite a quandary, cause
you know it takes a bit of cash
to get a wardrobe started, etc.
Some of you generous tippers get
busy and help a worthy cause!
So, folks, l must be scurrying
along and until next week don't
forget
Your pal,

ing the services of the Rev. l. H.
Fisher of Kansas City, Kansas, for
mer Twin City pastor, to conduct
the revival meeting starting March
3rd. Mrs. Sallie Alexander, long
a member of this church and ac-
tive in missions, was buried from
the church on last Wednesday.
The candle light services held at
the church on the 18th of January
were well attended. This service,
under the supervision of Mrs. Ella
Golden, president of the Mile Da-
Wis Mission, was very touching.
Sister Golden's efforts were well re-
warded when she was able to add
to the membership roll and a sub
stantial increase in monthly offer
ing. The memorial services held
in connection with this annual af-
fair is to raise money for foreign
mission. This service is statewide
and the churches taking part will
get the credit for the number of
names handed in from their respec-
tive churches. Sister Golden ex-
poets to raise one hundred dollars
($1O0.OO) for Foreign Mission in
this manner each year.

Vital Traffic Problems

TRAFFIC problems serious as any problems
i confronting the City of Detroit.
AS of yesterday 81 persons had been killed in De-
troit traffic this year If the fatality rate continues
Detroit traffic will have claimed nearly life day when
the year ends.
Every responsible city official recognizes the gravity
of traffic problems but they have been tackled
except sporadcay Due in part to the fact that policies
change with changing administrations, there never has
been continuous and co-ordinated effort to improve
traffic conditions here
In this connection some of the recent recommended
tons of Lieut. Franklin Kreml safety director of the
International Association of Police Chiefs might be
worth study.
The Detroit Times agrees with Krem that in
crease in uniformed personnel of the police traffic divi
son would help substantially to reduce traffic accidents
Motorists always behave better when they know that
traffic police abroad in numbers.
But until Police Commissioner Eaman is allowed
budget big enough to his department properly the
question remains purely academic. Certainly Commits
sioner Eaman would like to assign twice many men
present to traffic work He simply hasn't got them
1T is Judgment" Kreml said, that the sum of
100000 should be provided to initiate the traffic
cheering bureaus plans for the modeization and i'm
provement of the traffic signal control system"
THIS newspaper agrees heartily with the above sug
gestion. This newspaper has urged repeatedly for
than year that the present obsolete and patch
work traffic lighting system is liability and should be
abandoned for a modern one.
The new system should be prepared for right now
in the interests of human safety and orderly traffic
control hundred thousand dollars has been alocaed
in the city budget for this purpose Half million
dollars would not be too much to start the work
Kremls suggestion that more traffic judges be pro-
vided seems sound enough. Traffic Court is jammed
day after day. If the judges not rushed they
could devote time and study to basic causes of
traffic msbehavor instead of rafting off after
as they have to do
However, in view of this, Kreml's suggestion that
the traffic court referees be abolished is hard to under
stand The referees valuable adjunct of the court
They adudcate many thousands of minor traffic viola
lions annually. They definite public convenience
hoca
come in and dispose Of his at once where, if he
waited for court hearing, he might have to stay in
court all day before his called.
Traffic referees should remain the important arm
that they are at present of traffic court

OUR foreign policy is detrimental to the
~ safety of our democracy.
Our government loans money to Central
Americas, to China, and is on the verge of
casting all American resources and man
strength at Englands feet.
Our government has felt so sorry for
China in her tribulation that she has loaned
millions of dollars with which TO finance
China's war against Japan.
In the meantime our government has per-
mitted the war mongers to sell scrap iron to
Japan, who converts it into war articles and
uses these to defeat China. How humane?
Millions of us are willing to stake our
freedom to secure England's victory, are will
ing to deplete our resources, and tax the sue
ceedng generations to the bones. Why? So
that England and her royalties and their
wealth might be saved. Can we call those
Americans patriots?
Yes, English patriots.
Suppose the lease-lend-give bill passes,
and we go head on into this war, and actually
win it for the Europeans, we stand the cost,
and lose millions of our boys in their cause.
We should be interested in the security of
our democracy and the building of our national
defense.
If the lease-lend-give bill is passed, labor
will be in danger of losing its priced freedom.
The hands that gave them their freedom are
now ready to collar them as they never were
before.
If that bill is passed Congress might just
as we'll pack up and go home. If the peoples
representatives in Washington can't resist the
foreign powers in Washington they should
resign or be recalled by the people they
represent.
We should be free from foreign entangle-
ments. Safeguard our Constitution from
foreign elements, and proudly uphold our laws.

A Mischievous Bill

TAS the average constable village policeman the
necessary discretion and mature judgment to
mand armed force of national guarsmen in the event
of riot?
You may comment that this is a silly question be-
cause. obviously the answer is mo, decidedly not"
Yet our Legislature has sent to Governor Van
Wagner act empowering the lowest peace officer to
take charge armed troops event of riot tumult
and COMPEL THE TROOPS TO CARRY OUT WHAT
EVER ORDERS THEY RECEIVE.
This is amazing answer by the Republican
maorties of the House and Senate to the strike riots of
few years ago.
MICHIGAN since 1881 has had statute providing that
lvl when troops arrive at the of riot or
threatened riot they shall obey orders from the governor
circuit judges or the local sheriff.
The Legislature has added to this list the phrase:
"And from any peace officer and also any member
of the Michigan state police"
This means any constable, any rookie policeman
It means that in difficult emergency when supreme
GOODNESS is the requirement, hot-headed township
constable could order machine guns turned any body
of acting together by force with intent to commit
felony to offer violence to persons or property
EVERY patroiman qualified to judge whether there is
i intent to commit felony?
Some members of the Legislature, including the
representatives whose comprehension of police work is
difficult to understand
Here is bill that Governor Van Wagner should
Veto thus leaving the power of command to men who
have earned by experience and training the rank of COM
manding officers.

might add that when the day of

will have no Public Letter Box

Like in the land of the dicta-

told TO read and his editor will
print what he is told to print.

IN SPITE of the deluge of alien propaganda
via the press, radio, movies, etc., aimed at
again involving us in defense of democracy CD
in Europe, the ordinary American citizen is
not alarmed and goes about his business as
usual.
He knows what the war mongers are up
to, and what their purpose is.
He still does not believe that our President
and Congress will deliberately plunge us into
war. ........
He still believes that the President will
keep his prediction promise, that our boys
will not fight on foreign SOIL"
About the only. people that are overly
excited are some newspaper columnists and
editors, who, suspect, are generously paid to
be excited.
That at least S5 per cent Of our people
are opposed to entering the present European
war is beyond doubt, and if our President and
Congress, in spite of the sentiment of our
people, plunge us into active participation in
this war, say, Gold help our country.
Will the President and Congress defy the
IS per cent of our citizens and declare war
against a nation that has scrupulously avoided
offending us even when greatly provoked on
many occasions?
Is it true that "whom the gods would
destroy they will first render insane?"
Fellow Americans, it is not too late to
give convincing proof on how you stand on
the question of our involvement in the Euro
pean war.
That H. B. 1776 is war measure, there
is absolutely no doubt. Write, or telegraph
to your senators today. Tomorrow might be
too late.
