How One Youngster Began
Asking for Soap Issue

Uncle Sans facts and figures are
usually for grown-ups, but one moth
er saw interest for her seven-year
old in a recent announcement. When
the navy stated that each year the
average COB buys "a cakes of toilet
soap, she let her young hopeful fig
ure out that most men in blue use
cake of soap every two weeks.
To this particular lad, sailors were
all heroes. So mother suggested
that she would Issue" soap to him,
and he could see if he lived up to
navy standards. He was delighted,
and mother now reports that he takes
his baths most willingly and comes
regularly to table with hands and
face well washed.
Good habits are matter of train
ing. With this child, the navy ap-
peal worked. With another, it may
be the fact that a favorite baseball
hero takes a shower after every
game. Many a wise parent finds
that hero-Worship brings quicker re-
suits and happier attitudes than SIM
pie requests or than nagging or
scolding.

Old Trade Center

In pre-Suez canal days, Alex
andretta was a busy Mediterranean
outlet for the rich caravan trade
moving slowly overland from Per-
STA and India. Modern rail connec-
tons have put it in line for improve
ments designed to make the city an
increasingly useful doorway for fu-
ture Levant trade. Leading exports
from Alexandretta are normally cot
ton, tobacco, licorice, fruits, live
stock, silk cocoons, and textiles. All
trade routes in this part of the
world follow paths made famous by
legend and history since men first
pushed their boats from shore In
and near the isle-spattered Aegean,
such map names as Troy and Helle-
spont, the Enchanted Cyclades,
Lesbos, and Samothrake call to
mind the real and mythical figures
of Homer and the Argonauts, Sap
pho, Helen of Troy and the Trojan
Horse, Apollo, the lovers Leander
and Hero. and the cenquerors Xer-
xes, Alexander, and Darius.

Grow traditions in England. In a
statement to Secretary Stimson,
the NAACP said:
eve strongly urge the issuance
by the War Department, and per-
haps by our Commander in Chief,
of stern orders that any American
soldier who causes friction of this
character shall be Immediately
court-martialed and given the Sc
verest penalty provided by law and
regulation if found guilty.
eve further recommend that
commanding officers who lack the
necessary firmness and freedom
from prejudice should be replaced.
Trouble-makers, white or colored,
Southern or Northern, must be
shown that winning the war is
more important than trying to tell
the British authorities and people
who they should or should not treat
as human beings and as soldiers
fighting to wipe out the Hitler the
DRY of race"
For Directing to the presence of
American Negro soldiers at enter
tainments arranged by the British
authorities and people for Ameri-
can troops, the Southern white SOL
diers have become the subject of
much criticism throughout Eng
land, in the newspapers, in Parlia-
ment, and in private statements by
officials and individuals.

Miss Anderson
Accepts OAR
Bid With IFS

New York.-Miss Marian Ander-
son, famous contralto, has accepted
the invitation of the Daughters of
the American Revolution to sing in
Constitution hall, Washington,
D. C.
But, there is a serious eff" in
Miss Anderson's term of accept
ance.
Her manager, S. Hurok, has ad-
vised the Daughters (who are mas
tiers in the art of Jim Crow tao
tics) that Miss Anderson has con-
sented to sing on condition that no
racial segregation in seating ar
engagements be permitted. This pro-
posal, of course, will throw the
Daughters in serious debate on the
question of democracy whenever a
Negro is involved).
A further condition of her &C
ceptance is that the invitation to
sing for a war benefit this year be
regarded as a precedent for her fu-
ture appearances at the hall in the
normal course of her annual tours.
In fact, Miss Anderson, through
these demands is showing the
Daughters the "high cost Of segre-
CATION"
Three years ago the OAR. re-
fused to permit Miss Anderson to
sing in the hall, precipitating the
resignation of Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt from the organization be-
cause she disagreed with the brand
of democracy the Daughters were
dealing out. AS a protest, Secre-
tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes ar
ranged for Miss Anderson to sing
at the Abraham Lincoln monument
before a crowd of $4,000 where
some of the "segregating Daugh-
tiers" were caught in the crowd lis
tening.
The reason given three years ago
for barring Miss Anderson from
Constitution Hall was that the So
ciety could not go contrary to the
customs of Washington, D. c.,
where the Negro is segregated and
Disseminated against according to
the worst southern fashions.

My New l949 AstroIogY Readings Are Ready

R. TT have finished two years
of college, but decided to join the
Air Corps. I passed everything but
the physical. I have slight deaf
ness. I am so Disguised 1 don't
know what to do, as flying has al
ways appealed to me.
Ans.-It is unfortunate that this
small physical defect should inter-
fere with your ambitions. How
ever, you must not get discouraged.
Go ahead and finish your. college
work and stay under the care of an
ear specialist and possibly it can be
corrected by the time you graduate.
A. A.-Why are my parents so
strict on me? I am Is years old
and would like to enjoy life as a
young girl of my age should. But
my parents won't let me go to
dances very often or do any of the
things other young girls do. How
can I change them so I will have
more freedom?
Ans.-It is so sad that young
teen-age girls won't try to see their
parents viewpoint about their So
cial life rather than consider
ing them old fOgies. Due to your
age, your parents have been I'M
usually generous in allowing you
social privileges. But you have
abused them by selecting the wrong
crowd of boys to go with. They
have no intentions of letting you
run wild and get a bad name for
yourself by going with the wrong
people. Before you expect more
leniency from them, you must use
more discretion in the selection of
your friends. If you would invite
your boy friends to your home and
let them meet your parents, they
would think a great deal more of
you.
R. Ii have been saving what
my husband sends me since he has
been in the army and putting it all
in the bank. I feel that he should
have something to fall back on
when he is out of the army and
looking for a job. He has been in
training for quite a while and
thinks that he will soon be sent
across. He wants me to get off
work and live near his camp until
then. If 1 do this, I will have to
draw this money out of the bank.
What do you suggest?
Ans.-I think it is very decent
and worthwhile of you to be so
cOnsiderate of your husbands fu-
ture welfare. You are quite wise
to be saving this nest egg for
rainy day. But you haven't seen
your husband in six months 4.
and 1 firmly believe he would con-
slider the money well invested for

you to spend it to be near him be-
fore he leaves for foreign duty. By
all means take the trip.
F. il have been going with
this man for several years. Last
month he married another girl and
now he still comes to see me. He
tells me he doesn't care anything
about her and is going to leave her.
Should I trust him?
Ans.-AbOut as far as you could
throw an elephant by his tail. 1t
is mystery to me how a man can
find 'em, fool 'em and forget 'em
and still go back to his Tilted sweet
heart and give her a little sweet
talk and she will let him make
a door mat of her again. Certainly
you shouldn't trust him. He had
two long years to marry you if he
had ever intended to. The fact that
he preferred someone else to share
his name and marriage with him
should be ample proof that you
were nothing but a side-line. At
least have pride enough not to be
a hanger-On. He doesn't have the
remOtest idea of leaving his wife.
V. il am 10 years of age and
I am a senior in high school. I met
a boy in another city last month
and he wants me to marry him as
soon as I finish. I am in love with
him and he says he loves me. He is
a year older than 1. Should marry
at this early age or should I wait
longer?
Ans.-There are some teen-age
marriages that turn out happily &.
but they are very far and few be-
tween. In the first place, neither
you nor this boy has formed your
ideas and tastes and know just
what you want out of marriage
and what to expect of a mate. You
haven't yet learned to adapt your
self to other people -. to give and
take and the art of stepping
around the peculiarities of others.
(And you can be sure that any
marriage requires plenty of glove
handling.) You both like a good
time and would not be willing
to give up your parties and dances
to spend your money on groceries
and sterilized milk for the baby.
This boy isn't making enough to
finance a marriage and after a
few weeks of an empty stomach,
you would see that living on love
isn't what it is cracked up to be.
l could give you numerous reasons
for not marrying him at your age
. but the main one is that you
are not yet acquainted with him
well enough to really know if you
love him or not.
