won't sign me up. Tell me what
steps to take?
Ans.-DOn't waste any more of
your time trying to get on the
WPA. l suggest that you get out
and find employment. 1t might
prove to your husbands advantage
to inquire at the office of the WPA
and there may be some light job
that could be found for him.
B. L. B.-My husband says he
loves me but he says so many
things that make me disguised.
Do you think we should part? We
have been married for only nine
months.
Ans.-He does love you but he
can't understand the attitude you
are taking toward marriage. You
can't expect him to be saint when
he doesn't get much cooperation.
Why don't you show him more af-
lection and see if you, can't make
living conditions in the home more
pleasant for him.
x. F. ks there anything go
ing on behind my back as I have
in mind? Now am suspicious and
would like to know what / should
do?
Ans.-Ask the girl who is board
ing with you to find her some other
place to live if it is going to keep
you in a "stew" with your hus-
band all the time. I don't think
there is anything serious going on
between them but she does
show a like for your husband and
now would be the time to suggest
a change for her.
Worried-Last fall l was in love
with certain man and he was in
love with me, but I pretended to
him that l did not care for him
and he left. Tell me what I must
do to get him back?
Ans.-It's too late to do any
thing about it now he has
found some other girl to love and
one that returns his affection. l
think that you should forget him
and look around for someone else
| for he won't return to you.

March Srd. Our prayer to God for
st. Paul is, that many might be
brought to Christ during this
SOUL-SAVING campaign. Evan
gelist Fisher is looking forward to
successful meeting during the
next ten days.
Mt. Olivet will observe the 10Th

DR.. Tut will speak also at three
o'clock with the Fishermen Club

expecting to see many of the char
ter members who have gone to 9TH

the most faithful members of the
church at that time are yet living
and are actively engaged in other
churches. We are expecting these
members to worship Mt. Olivet on
Sunday. The pastor is asking that
every member give a birthday Of
fering of one penny for each year

Several of those present refused
to sign questionnaires after Ray
mond Cannon had criticized J. w.
Pate, a member of Johnny Baker
Post, for his refusal to sign the
QUESTIONABLE at the Minneapolis
meeting Saturday night.
Pate stated that his refusal to
sign the QUESTIONABLE was based
on the promise that his signature
would be tantamount to an en-

Inquisitive Sal

| I1eIlO, OIhS.
The talk around town these days
consists of the competitive frater-
nifty basketball games and dances,
which seem to be holding the lime
light and the newcomer who was
in town, JOSEPHINE HARRELD,
the lovely pianist. Miss Harreld
was presented by the Phyllis
Wheatley House in a very fine
piano recital last week, at the
Y. w. C. A. and she really had
number of the supposed to be So
phisticated young men jumping
hoops for some attention. : A
delightful tea was given in her
honor at the Wheatley House by
the College WOmen's Club. &.
Among the guests were: MRS.
ARTHUR HOWARD, striking in
two-toned blue and black outfit. ..
MRS. LOUIS P. MOORE and
daughter, ELIZABETH, who
seemed to be enjoying themselves.
MRS. MARJORIE CURRY
and MRS. HAZEL CURRY made
charming hOstesses at the tea ia
BILE. .. What young Alpha brother
stared with mouth agape at the
guest of honor? JEANETTE
DORSEY'S Girls Quartette was
really good. You ought to hear
them swing out on "RumbOOgie."
Well, that's enuf for that event.
Tidbits Hither and YOn:
Just heard that wedding bells
will not ring for BLAINE ASH
and MARGARET SMITH as
planned. T.. Did you know: MYR-
TIE WORMLEY and BARBARA
MALLORY, who are taking pre-
spring vacations via Chicago to
Louisville, Kentucky, are having
one grand time? Are the gals
ever excited over the LIE Moyne
College debate team that will be in
town debating with the St. Thomas
College debate team at the Halle
@. Brown and the Wheatley House
next Sunday. Everywhere Sal
turns she hears some gal about
town asking, what do they look
like" care they intelligent ?"
care they handsome?" Well, Sal
has seen all their pictures and
knows what they look like, etc.,
and so as not to get you too ex
cited or disappoint you, she's go
ing to keep mum on the above
questions and let you be the Judge
yourselves. Just heard HENRY
BOWMAN is a certain St. Paul
lassie's dream man. (Ain't it grand
to have a dream prince?) GOSH!!
Believe 1t or Not:
Miss X is an attractive young
miss about town who is known for
smooth complexion, charm, etc.
Well, the other night, after just
returning home from a dance, she
began her nightly beauty prepara-
tons, ugly curriers' piled all over
her head and a large fistful of white
cold cream smOothed round her
mouth (yOu know, the cold weather
had sOrta taken the soft luster of
her lips away and, last, but not
least, an odd looking chin strap
was tied round her chin to pre-
vent the growth of double chin,
which she felt she was getting.
After dOlling herself in this garb
she ran downstairs to turn out the
lights and 10, and behold, she ran
smack into a night prOwler, ran
sacking the buffet. When he turned
suddenly upon hearing her foot
steps and looked in her face he &C.
tually let out a howl and ran as
fast as he could out of the house.
This young lady who related this
story to Sal swears that it is the
truth and nothing but the truth.
.. You can take it or leave it.
Amt 1t the Truth?
A mother can call, "Joey, it's
time to get up" for two or three
hours without making any impress

President Roosevelt informed
Congress he had ordered Navy

against the Western Hemisphere"
He said German occupation of that
country would threaten the North
American continent. shipping in the
North Atlantic. and the flow of
munitions to Britain. The President
said the Navy had been ordered to
take "all necessary steps" to insure
safety of communications ''in the
approaches between Iceland and the
United States, as we'll as on the seas
between the u. S. and all other stra-
tegic ouposts."
The President later told his press
conference that whether Iceland
lies outside the Western Hemisphere
is an academic question. He said
there are points outside the com
monty accepted Hemisphere limits
which are Of Importance to U. S,
defense, and that in occupying lee
land he acted to forestall hostile
