War DEVELOPMENTS
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

ASSoclate0 FresS FINANCIAL Writer
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The bull
side Of the stock market today lost
many adherents, for no outstanding
reason, and fractions to a point or
so were subtracted from leaders.
In addition to little more selling
for income tax purposes. the stand
aside disposition of most customers
was attributed partly to the lack Of
clear information regarding battles
in North Africa and the Solomons.
The most encouraging feature of
the proceedings was that real uQui-
dating pressure never was in evil
dence. The ticker tape loafed from
the start and minor recessions pre-
dominated at the close. Transfers
were around 100000 shares, one of
the smallest for five-hour session
this month.
There was tightening of accounts
in the recently bounding peace
stocks, but the majority OF the war
infants failed to sit up and take
nourishment. Brokers spoke of the
general dip as possible additional
correction of the lengthy upward
swing and it also was recalled that
the market ordinarily is moderately
reactionary during most of Novem-
Der and December.
Low-priced shares turned over IN
stable deals. Packard Motors came
out in one block of 10,7OO at ~
and there was 9,000-share trade In

E. H. P: Should my husband
quit the job he is on to go to work
in the Defense Plant as a Sand
Cutter? Will he be successful?
Ans: There is such a demand
for skilled labor in the Defense
Plants, feel that it would be a
very patriotic act to make this
change. 1t would mean his getting
back to his original trade as well
as a decided increase in pay. He
would be happier on a different job.
w. B. A: Tell me if my wife is
true to me in love? She seems to
want me to stay at home with her
all the time. l believe she is slip
ping around. She is young, but
she seems to care a lot for old peo-
pie. l know that l am not perfect,
but 1 want a good wife or none at
all. How can we get along?
Ans: Toe the line, brother, just
as you are demanding of your wife.
She had a just reason to squawk
when you threw away your last
pay check. This is the main cause
of her indifference since that time.
The interest your wife shows in
this elderly lady is due to lOneli-
ness. She needs to make friends
among the couples her own age.
You are spending too much of your
time running around to clubs and
organizations alone rather than
seeking entertainment that both of
you can enjoy. You have a good
wife and you know she is not
cheating. Better buckle down and
show her the same consideration
that you expect of her.
B. E. W.: would like to take
a trip around the 25th of this
month for about 10 weeks. 1 would
like to put this so-called friend on
my job to hold it until I return.
Should take this vacation?
Ans: Your present job is a snap.
1t is easy, pays well, and is not
combining. Hold onto your summer
job and take your 10 weeks vaca-
ton before you go to work on your
winter job. If you don't stick to
this job, you can't expect these
people to hire you again next sum-
mer.
J. j.: My husband and 1 quarrel
frequently about nothing. What
would you suggest for me to do,
stay quiet and listen to the music
or quarrel back at him?
Ans: 1t is a feather in your cap
if you can keep your self control
while he is ripping and snOrting
like a bull. Let him make his
speech and get it out of his sys-
TEN then it will be over and

cago Brown Bombers plus the
Clowns do believe that Manager
Jim Browns can play interesting
baseball. For Sundays game the
Gophers imported a new battery in
Double Duty" Radcliffe and Lefty
McKinnels. McKinnel promptly
obliged the local baseball bugs by
pitching a two hitter against the
fast stepping Bombers and further
helped his cause by parking one of
Pitcher Davis slants on the Coli
scum roof. The game score ended
80 for the Gophers.
In the second game the local en-
trants crossed bats with the ia
nous Ethiopian Clowns, and things
weren't so rosy for the home boys
who looked like a beaten team as
soon as the Clowns walked on the
field. They committed two errors
in the first inning to allow the
visitors to score 4 runs but came
back in their half of the inning to
score runs and the Clowns took
the game 1875.
The boys will be away from
home for the next month and when
they return will meet the Birming-
ham Barons, Memphis Black Sox
and others.
Duke Coram, fresh from the

No. wood and blasted one straight
down the middle to the distant 275
yard green. The ball took one turn
and rolled up to the pin and
dropped in. This is the second ace
the Coram guy has scored. Last
year it happened on a 1876 yard

done with. But to fuss back only
prOlOngs the misunderstanding.
Avoid topics of conversation that
bring about friction.
L. M: I want to be a practical
nurse. But my mother thinks l
will be wasting money, and my
husband says that we need the
money at home which is the truth.
Should 1 wait until l am able to
go to work and pay for the train
ing myself or talk him into it now?
Ans: There is no finer or more
honorable profession than that of a
nurse. But the place for you to
use your nursing ability is right at
home with your two children. Your
husband is not financially able to
have someone come in and take
care of the children while you take
this course in nursing. When your
children reach school age, you will
probably find time to take up this
profession. l strongly recommend
that you take the Red Cross Course
in First Aid which would be of
great service to you in the rearing
of your children.
M. M. D.: 1 love my husband,
my child and my home. But they
worry me. l am. worried and ner-
vous all the time. My son is only
years old but he is hard-headed.
My husband goes off all the time
and l know he does not go to
church day and night. He has not
said over 80 words to me this week.
Please tell me something to ease
my wearied mind.
Ans: You are suffering from
the lack of diversion and relaxa-
ton. You insist on staying cOOped
up in the home year in and year
out with no outside interests. Then
unintentiOnally, you take your ir-
ritabiIity out on your husband and
child. Set aside at least one day
each week to be called your own.
Join various wOmen's clubs, church
organizations and school activities.
1t will give you a brighter outlook
on life and have a tendency to
make your husband appreciate you
far more than you feel he does at
the present time.

WELCOME HALL
NOTES
By Staff Reporter.

With the closing of a very sue
cessful Bible School comes the
Camp period for both boys and
girls. A large group of boys left

Snail Lake, with Glen Dewey. On
Saturday, July Is, the girls from
Welcome Hall will take over at

pervision of Josephine H. Hagan,

Jayne Jones. Physical examina-
ton for these campers will be CIV
en- Monday, July 20, at 9 a. m, at

A group of girls under the su-
pervision of Miss Leona Reineccius
of the University of Minnesota are
doing a very fine job turning bare
room into a very attractively fur
nished reading and club room for
the girls at ODER Club. We say
"attractively" because the girls are
taking next to nothing and making
lovely furnishings from it. This
room, along with other handicraft
being done by two other groups at
Welcome Hall, will be on exhibition
at ODER Club July % from $50 to
900 p. m. 1t will be well worth
your time to come to this exhibit.
