BUSINESS PAYS TRIBUTE

Labor leaders are NOT the
only ones who boast Of their
new power. Washington repre-
sentotives Of some of the big
industries poy tribute to the To-
Dor lobby, soying privately that
it is too smart. that it hos not
made q single mistake in toe
tics since the defense effort
began. Disruption Of the old
OPM and the first mediotion
board ore pointed to os EVIL
dence Of the Iobby's power.
If thot's true in any degree,
there may be some point in
trying to enumerote some OF
the detectives Of the labor
movement in this war effort.
There is, no Official Toilet Of

admiration:
Il have just finished reading
your article I Got Wings" in the
AMERICAN Magazine. I think it
is the most heartening and inspir-
ing reading that 1 have ever read
am young white woman and
to me your courage and stamina
are of the highest to be found in
human beings. To me you are not
just a Negro. you are one of Amer
ica's finest and most courageous
citizens. There are SO few that
would fight so hard for the chance
to tight Tor your country and
against such unwarranted pref
udices. In nay heart 1 am with you

promptly and keep the place in
good order. 1t would be worth
your while to turn it over to a
reliable real estate agency
while you are away.
r.. L. Pr am deeply in love
with a man great deal@older than
I am. He is a frivolous type of
person. He tries to avoid me in
public. He doesn't show the least
bit of interest in me when we are
around other folks. I am nice
looking, wear pretty clothes and
have respectable job.
Ans: This is One-sided af-
fair. You may feel that you are
deeply in love with this man,
but you are only side-line to
him. The reason he avoids you
in public is to keep his other
girl friend in the dark about
his little affair with you. When
a man is sincere In his inten-
tions, you can be darn sure that
he will be glad to show you off
among his friends. You are
wasting your good looks and
devotion on an uninterested
prospect.

for her but l don't understand
her at all. 1 try to think good Of
her, but she just spoils the thought,
What shall I do?
Ans: 1t is rather late to be
crying over split milk. You let
your girl start running around
with boys before she was out
of diapers and before you took
time to inform her of the ways
of life. She has made a mis-
take and she is paying dearly.
Don't let her girlish mistake
turn you away from her. How
ever, bear in mind that it is too
late to give your daughter or
ders about how she must live,
for she is married and must
assume the responsibilities of an
adult. If you treat your daugh-
ter as such, you will find that
you can get along better. OF
course she is normal.

and I plan to- leave here and go

Ans: Not if the money you are
to receive on this new job war
rants the change. There is no
doubt but that you could rent
the house to take care of the
payments. But it is of vital i'm
p0rtance that you find a ten

family. he hasn't done any good
at all. He can't control his money,
never buys himself any clothes.
But he works hard all the time and
makes good money. He wants to
know what he must do.
Ans: Making good money is
no asset whatever if he is not
able to manage it. Some people
have more at rs dollars a week
than others have at SO. Your
son is too generous with his in
laws. In order for him to have
a success, he is going to have
to move out with his wife alone
and learn the value Of dollar.
To do this, he must work out a
budget according to his pres
ent income and live strictly
within it. If they ever intend
to have home. they should be-
gin to plan and save now to-
ward that end.

SEEKS THOROUGH PROBE
Webster called for a thorough in
veStlgation Of the displacement Of
Negro firemen by white firemen of
lower feniority rights anu the
policy Of these railroads in refus.
ing to hire Negroes to take the
place of Negro firemen who have
died, been discharged. According
to Webster the plan will be to
hold hearings of the committee
where various parties to this ques-
ton Of the elimination of Negro
firemen from the railroad will be
brought before the committee fol-
examination and testimony.
By this method railroads de-
clare, it is hoped to nullify the Sec
ret contracts negotiated by the
Brotherhoods Of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginenlen with various
railway carriers containing nom
proinotable clauses that provide
that no worker should become a
fireman who is Tot eligible also to
become an engineer.
Since NEGROES are not eligible TO
become enfiineers they cannot be-
come firemen inasmuch as the
next step of promotion from fire
man Is that Of the engineer, stated
A. Phillip Randolph, who is chair
man of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters provisional COM
mittee, Cor the organization o.
colored locomotive firemen.

l.. W.-The boy I love is dead.
He died six months ago. We were
very much In love with each other.
He wanted me to marry him, but
I would not because I didn't think
he was making enough money
Now I am sorry that I didn't mar
ry him, we would have had some
together. I just can't be-
come interested in anyone else,
and I am about to go crazy from
and grief. I sit at home
every night crying.
Ans: 1t Is indeed sad that
such a misfortune has befall-
en- you. However, you are still
young, and you can't spend the
rest of your life pining over
the tragedy that blighted your
love affair. The modern girl is
realistic and tries to meet life
with fortitude and philosophy,
rather than spend her years
weeping over her misfortune.
Pick up the pieces and make
the best Of what is left. Get out
and make new friends. You
need plenty of warm, gay COM
partnership to make you forget.
/ feel sure that in time you
will find someone else who will
take this boys place.
