is all right.
]. J. P: Please give this matter
your close consideration. My wife
has made a great change. I give
her all of my love and petting and
her affection is cold and careless
toward me.
Ans: Idleness is the Devils
workshop. Your wife has entirely
too much time on her hands and
too little responsibility ). and you
are encouraging this by letting heI
make door mat out of you. You
are fast losing her love and respect
by letting her use you for a pocket.
book and convenience. You have
a perfect right to demand her to
cook the bacon if you bring it home
and keep a clean house if you pay
the rent. Have a definite under
standing with your wife and let her
know what you expect in return for
your generosity and kindness.
Disguised: I want to marry so
bad I don't know what to do. If
I ask this young man, would I be
disappointed or not?
Ans: Not only would you be dis
appointed, but you would be minus
a sweetheart. It is mans nature
to want to pursue .. and you
would be denying him that privil-
ege if you propose marriage to
him, and scare him off as well. This
fellow still has his faculties of
speech and if you will be pa
tient and play your cards right, he
will get around to popping the
question when the time is ripe.
r. L. c.: I am married and have
a child and my mother lives with
us. I am trying to talk my hus-
band into going north, but he
doesn't want to go. Would it be a
good idea for me to go as I want
to leave here?
Ans: A radical change such as
you plan is not advisable. Your
going would not influence your hus-
band at all. He doesn't intend to
give up his job and follow you.
Your place is there at home. You
can't expect your husband to sup
port your mother if you walk out
on him and leave her there nor
would you likely make enough in
the city to support your mother
and child. Stick with your obliga-
tons and try to content yourself
with your home life.

L. H. D.: I try to do everything
I can to keep this man. But every
time get after him about some
thing, he says he will quit me. 1
know this is crazy to say, but I
love this man better than I do my
husband. Please help me.
Ans: You can help yourself out
of a lot of trouble if you will break
away from this man. He is using
every excuse possible to get out of
this affair tactfully. You have had
your fun now save your pride
and get out of this gracefully. And
remember a married mans
fancy LIGHTLY turns to thoughts
of love. If you are wise you will
pass up the glamour boys for the
security your husband offers you.
M. w.: I visited my brother
in the army camp and met young
soldier and fell in love at first
sight. He says he wants to visit
me on his furlough. He also says
we should get married at this time.
Tell me what to do as am con-
fused and worried.
Ans: Invite this soldier to visit
you on his furlOugh but don't
let this war hysteria sweep you
into marriage that you might re-
greet later on. You met and fell in
love under very abnormal circum-
stances and you two can't be sure
that this fancy is lasting and will
endure the wear and hardships
that war will bring on. If this is
the real thing, I am sure that you
two will be willing to wait on the
other. If it isn't it is better to
find it out without the marriage
ties.
J. M. c.: My sister has spent the
past few weeks in New York and
refuses to come home. My father
and feel that she would be better
off at home with us. What must
we do to change her mind?
Ans: You and your father prob
ably consider your sister as a child.
But she is old enough to take care
of herself. She has an exceptional
ly good job, better than anything
she could get at home, and she re-
fuses to give it up. Better recon-
cile yourself to the fact that she
is ready to live her own life now,
and make no more demands of
her. Since she is boarding with her
aunt, you can feel assured that she

as if a well-knOwn, prominent
(married) business man was one
of the main persons who made the
most trouble for our lassie. In
fact, it was he who reported her
carvings on to her parents, and
it was also his idea and influence
that helped to have her confined to
a Girls Home for six months.
When our lassie was released
from the Girls Home short while
ago, the first place she hit for was
Chicago, "to get away from it all"
And who do you think she met
while there? None other than this
same prominent business man who
had done so much to hurt her.
Ironical as it may seem, this bust
ness man (being away from honey
made quite a number of advances
towards our lassie and he was also
toonSh enough TO write IeCCerS ana
cards and send numerous gifts to
her. The lassie refused all the gifts
but kept all of the letters and is
now back in town with the sole
idea in mind to ruin the prominent
business man socially and fnan-
cially. The last I heard was that
she is making extensive plans to
do some mighty "strong" black
mailing. (Now don't you think our
business man is in a real fix? Well,
anyway, folks, just sit back and
wait for the freworks.)
Well, friends, I'll really have to
be on my way, but I'll be SEEM you

Howard Wheeler, the golfing
pro of Los Angeles, was the only
Negro who won any of the $4,000
Tam o'Shanter prize money.
Wheeler, who has the longest
drives and whose grip is cross
handed, won $4,000 for being the
"most colorful" player in the
tournament. The local fans who saw
little Tommy Donaldson win the
Central States Tourney four years
ago at Hiawatha course can we'll
imagine how the cross hand grip
works. The former local was strict
ly cross-handed but not so crossed
on his game, Donaldson was al
ways one of our best players.
The other leading Negro Pros
who entered the tournament were
Calvin Searles of New Orleans.
clyde Martin of Detroit, who is
credited with teaching Joe Louis
what he knows about golf, Eddie
Jackson, Edison Marshall, Zeke
Hartsfield, Robert Ball, and John
Dendy. This is the first "big time"
tournament that sepias have en-
tered and let US hope it won't be
the last.
About these baseball players
who are supposed" to get a trial
with the Pittsburgh Pirates-per-
haps this week, any would look
good on the stumbling Pirate team.
Local fans can we'll remember
Impo Barnhill who toiled for the
Clowns few years back and how
he whizzed his fast ball out at the
Lexington Ball yard. Since that
time, Impo has pitched in the big
East-West classic, twice in Chi
cago, and is cinch to hurl some
innings in that classic come this
August 16.
