MY NEW 1912 ASTROLOGY
READINGS ARE READY

C. S.: didn't have to force him
to marry me but our marriage was
rather hasty. After my baby was
born l left him because he was so
mean and so stingy and so unap-
preciative. He's just plain no good.
Pm beginning to feel so lonely
without him, miss him so. Every
morning / watch to see him pass
by my window but haven't seen
him face to face since l left him
the last time. All the couples who
were married around the time we
were seem so happy. What's our
trouble?
Ans: The fault is not entirely
with your husband. He proved that
he wanted to do the right thing
by you when he married you in the
first place. It's true that he de-
mands to know where every penny
he gave you was spent, but that's
only because he is ''the saving
type" and doesn't believe in spend
ing his earnings as fast as it comes
in. What you need is a job. When
you find out how hard it is to make
money, you will readily understand
why your husband raised the dick
ems because he felt you were a poor
manager and spent his money fool
ishly. Once you learn the value of
a dollar, Pm sure that you and
your husband can live together
peacefully.
E. G. NJ: Pm married, will be
two years January, 1912. We stay
with my step-father. We all get
along like cats and dogs and my
husband is good to me as a man
can be at times. Would we do
better if we were by ourselves or
would he do more for me if we
were housekeeping? Does he love
me?
Ans: l see no point in cOntinu-
ing to live under the same roof
with your folks when there is a
scrap going on all of the time. OF
course you ought to start house
keeping. It's the only way you and
your husband can hope to accumu-
late anything. Had you gone to
housekeeping when you first mar
ried, you would now have most of
your stuff paid for.
L. c.: have a girl friend who
is unmarried, pregnant, and who
has left home. have received one
card from her, but no address on

, it. asked her sister where she is
at and she won't tell me. / feel as
though should write her, or get
in touch with her because she was
my best girl friend, and at this
time feel as though l should cor
respond with her.
Ans: If you want to do some
thing nice for your girl friend, then
drop your search for her. It's the
desire Of your friend and her fam
lily that her present whereabouts be
kept q secret. For her sake (.
keep the matter as quiet as pos
sible. You will hear from her in
due time. In the meantime prove
your friendship by keeping mum.
M. B. Ma Which one of these
lines of business would / be more
successful in? Beauty Work,
Rooming House, or open up a
Spanish Cafe and Bar in my
house? Thanking you very kindly
in advance for your advice.
Ans: The beauty work would be
too costly for you to get into
right now. 1t would take consider
able training to prepare yourself
for this work and another thing
you just haven't the capital to put
it over. The Spanish cafe and bar
would cause you more trouble than
it would be worth. My advice
therefore is to concentrate on the
job you know and understand {.
which is operating a r0Oming
house.
Lonesome: l am a firm reader
of your column and you tell some
good things to girls. Once / was
in love with a boy and he was 60
ing to marry me but it was my
fault the reason he did not marry
me. Will I ever get him back? He
loves me and I love him. He has
come back around me so I just
pass off the time with him. 1 would
like to have him all to myself one
more time.
Ans: That's impossible, so stop
fOOling yourself. He offered to
marry you once and you refused
now he is married to another
girl and you have no business COM
ing between them. There are plen-
ty of young men who would well
come your friendship if you
gave them half a chance. The sue
cess of your future is wrapped in
new friendships not in this old
fame of yours.

army men on leave were EDDIE
LEE and CLEAT OLIVER. They
were the center of attraction, tell
ing their army life tales. BILL
CARROLL was dashing about
creating a number of "heart at
tacks." DERALYN DOTY was
looking quite attractive in red,
wasn't she? ERNEST POTTS
and ELIZABETH MOORE were
among the dancers. VIVIAN
ARMISTEAD was cute in a black
outfit and NORMA BUFORD was
striking in a gold dress. Saw
THELMA BERRY, GERALDINE

was a case of frying or fighting
against fantastic odds.
And so Pvt. Eugene o. Moore of
the United States Marines came
out of his disabled and blazing tank
to do hand-to-hand battle with
more than so bowling japanese.
The Japs used bullets, grenades,
clubs, fists and feet. One even poked
him with a fish spear.
The 22-year-old former Huron
Is. Dak) High School football
player got the beating of his life,
but he lived. His outfit wiped out
the Japs Pvt. Moore failed to kill,
and now he is back from the Solo
mon Islands to recuperate, visit
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Moore, and tell his story.

II knew I either was going to get

Finally they left Pvt. Moore for

consciousness. Around him we're II

that Pvt. Kenneth Koon. marine

hopes to be out of the hospital in a

Delos Walker, vice president and

that the moving up Of the season
shopping period was prompted by
the need of cooperating with the
war effort.
This years appeal Is based on
the customers wartime duty to CO.

ing rubber, gasoline and other de-

Mr.. Walker stressed the import
