Disguised: l am disguised and
heart broken. Am l right in the
way I feel? My son and husband
are going half and half in paying
for a car, except for the use of it,
Ny husband has it all of the time
taking his women friends back and
forth and riding them around all
night some of the time. He is hate.
full, over-bearing and wants people
to treat him right and he treats
them wrong. He tells me that when
the boy drives the car he breaks ii
down. Now he is a good boy but
he is not being treated right.
Ans: Your husband is just like
a young lad with a new toy. He
can't stay out of his automobile
long enough to sleep, eat or work.
He doesn't haul women around
nights jOy-riding he makes
them pay for the rides they get.
dare say that in a months time
the new will wear off the car and
he will show your boy more con-
sideratiOn in the bargain. You have
your other children to consider
so change your attitude toward
your husband. He really isn't as
bad as you think.
K. D.: Will it be wise for me to
go to New York this month as
have planned? Will l make enough
money to go to school this fall?
Ans: Look for a job there in
your home town. You can save
more by working and living at
home. Once you are working, don't
forget the purpose of your efforts
=. lay aside a set sum each week
to be used towards your school ex-
penses.
C. NJ. D.: The man I've been
with Is years gets drunk, CANDLES,
stays out all night, has other wom-
en- and treats me very mean. One
of his other ladies cut him up and
this made him meaner, and I don't
know what to do. / don't love him
any more and l am thinking seri-
Ously of leaving.
Ans: No one can blame you if
you did. He has led you to believe

of doing it. Marriage wouldn't
change his ways, either. If you
make the change and go to the city
you have in mind, look for a job
and don't make this same mistake
again. That applies to your rela-
tiOnship with this other party you
are interested in. Don't accept any
bargain other than marriage in the
future.
l. D. D.: 1 taught school for 10
years and made we'll until two
years ago. Somehow, I have been
unable to secure means to care for
my family or make a decent living.
What little I make now doesn't do
me any good, as it passes through
my hands. Please sum my case up
and tell me what to do.
Ans: Teaching methods change
every year. A good teacher must
attend summer school at regular
intervals in order to keep up with
the modern trend of education. You
failed to improve yourself and that
is why you lost out as a teacher.
If you want to renew your license
and teach again, you must attend
summer school. There is another
thought l wish to convey you
are living above your means. You
can't borrow your way out of debt.
You must economic and pay off
your old Indebtedness and then you
will be in a position to save and
realize what you make. Until you
do, you can't make any Roadway.
B. H. R.: Ny affairs have be-
come so serious. 1 can't hold a
half-hand with any girl. I don't
know if it is my clothes or my
ways. Please tell me.
Ans: When a boy fails to get
a date with any girl, it is invari-
ably his fault. Do you take your
date to the movies? Do you ar
range any form of entertainment?
Or are you the type that insists
on pinching pennies and spending
the evening in her parlOr petting
and feel that she should be
flattered at the opportunity. Your
clothes are all right and you look
well enough, too, but your approach
is strictly out of the groove.

Many Helped
Put Over Annual
Nations Festival
FESTIVAL OF NATIONS COM
MTTTEE MEMBERS LAUDED

The success of the Negro group
in the Festival of Nations exhibit
ton held in St. Paul early in May
was due in large part to the hard
work of the committees under Mrs.
Mary D. Mcfarland, 493 Whiteall
St., general chairman, who was as
sisted by Mrs. Carrie Robertson.
The Festival of Nations is an ad-
venture in friendliness in which
5000 men, women and children of
SO national groups participated,
forming a Mystical Village.
A script, Interpretation of Ne
gro Life in America" written by
Laura Jeffrey, was portrayed in
song and dance by the combined
chOirs of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church,
Camphor M. E. Church and Pill
grim Baptist Church, under the di-
rection of John M. Whitaker with
Zachary T. Munson, baritone,
Alma Freeman, soprano, and
George Saunders, tenor, singing
the leads, Corinne Powell common
tating, and the Modern Dance
Group of Minneapolis, dancing.
Outstanding among the exhibits
was the work of Gordon Parks,
photographer and artist, and
Henry Bannarn, artist, both for
merly of Minneapolis.
Other committee chairmen and
members include: Mrs. Tessie So
MON, chairman, Market Committee,
with Mrs. Viola Munson, assistant
chairman, and Mesdames Harold
Hilyard, Susan Gaylord, Chester
Green, Carrie Robertson, and John
M. Culver composing the commit
tee.
Miss Leah Mae Minor was chair
man of the Exhibit Committee with
Mrs. Mildred Sharp, the assistant
chairman, and aided by members,
Mesdames S. Vincent Owens, Rob-
ert R. Mitchell, George Wills, Ar
lee Slaughter, Mary D. Mcfarland
and Eunice Glass.
John M. Whitaker was Program
Chairman, assisted by Miss Laura
Jeffrey. Mrs. Frank B. Wigington
was chairman of the Ticket Com
mittee, Mrs. William Godette, as
sistant chairman, and Mrs. Eliza
beth Hall. Miss Margaret B. Tres
van was chairman of the Costume
Committee and was assisted by
Mrs. Louise Woodford.
Miss Estyr L. Bradley was chair
man of the Publicity Committee,
assisted by Mrs. M. D. Mcfarland.
During the entire exhibition, a
group of singers entertained as
Strolling Minstrels throughout the
Market Square. This group includ-
ed Juanita Schuck, Eunice Grant,
Gloria Williams, Nadine Davis,
Juanita Howard, LaVerne Benner,
Bradford Benner, Doris Massie,
Constance Jackson, Warren Hayes,
2. T. Munson, John Collins and
Ira D. Dorsey, Jr.
The Market Booth, conducted by
our group, was one of the most
popular at the exhibition.
The theme of Miss Jeffrey's
script was threefold: eve came to
America, we thrived and grew on
American soil, we are Americans,
too; may we ever stand true to our
God and to our Native Land" and
the dances of the Modern Dance
Group were done in the three parts
in portrayal of the script,

HELLO, FOLKS:
The Mobilization Parade held a
short while ago in Minneapolis,
was the real event of the week.
1t was very interesting to note how
many members of our race par
ticipated in this occasion. Among
the participants were the Elk's
Ames Lodge Drum and Bugle
Corps and the Phyllis Wheatley
Drum and Bugle Corps. Both did
a very fine job. ...
l PROMISE TO WAIT:
Have you heard of the latest
fad? A recent group of draftees
have all had a certain type of
promissory note made out and have
had their girl friends sign these
notes as sort of a pledge that
they'll promise to wait for the
soldier boys until after they return
from over seas. (Say gals, that's
a very grand thing you're doing,
but what about making the boys
sign something; after all, they're
the ones who are liable to change
their minds.)

recipient of many lovely gifts. &.
It's said HAROLD WRIGHTS

quite a fine addition to the younger

FADS ABOUT TOWN:
The roller skating Kinks about
town still hold quite fascination
for the Twin City younger set.
Next to 'partying," the skating
fad holds the limelight. The say
ing about town is eff you don't
have skating date, you just don't
rate" (HaD -. l mean baseballing
is really in vogue. Not only do the
males about town appear to be en-
gaging in this favorite sport and
pastime, but many a popular
matron can be found on the fields,
lodging her household duties and
at the same time knocking home
runs hither and yon. 1t is a swell
game and gives many a matron
the chance to work off some of her
temper by knocking a baseball
rather than her husbands cocoa
nut. :.

I'M THE
NEWS
By e. f. TOMPKINs

Ing any law to abridge the
freedom of the press, and for
more than a century and a
half this guarantee has been
sufficient to prevent govern
mental repression or control
of the nations newspapers.
Recent occurrences have
provided evidence, however,
that other agencies than Con-
gress need to be watched.
Fortunately, these same
occurrences have also fur
nished indications of methods
that can be utilized against a
free press entirely apart from
the powers and duties Of Con-
gress.
By simply revoking second
class mail permits, which are
obtainable by virtue Of an act
of Congress, the post office
department holds--and exer-
cises-an arbitrary power to
put Objectionable publications
out Of business.
fragrant abuse OF a mailing
franchise undoubtedly calls
for It's cancellation.
III just laws are violated,
the punishments which the
laws prescribe should be APP
piled.
And the government un-
doubtedly does its duty, in
time Of war or public danger,
by moving to suppress sedi-
tious organs or organs which
unquestionably support the
country's enemies.
Yet this Is a power which
is liable to grave abuse.
1t Is certainly a power
which must not be exercised
to stifie legitimate public dis
cussion, whether In peace or
war, and 1t ID certainly not a
power which should be exer-
cised to silence criticism of
the governments errors.
Some students of civil lib
critics are now advocating
that publishers be given the
statutory right to an immedi-
ate and impartial court hear
ing before a departmental
order closing the mails TO
their publications may be-
come effective.
This proposal is made, not
with a design to shield dislOy-
atty or TO encourage wrong
doing by any portion of the
press, but solely to prevent
tyrannous actions and the
suppression of truth and nee
essary public information.
In the last war, newspaper
criticism probably saved
Great Britain and her allies
from disastrous defeat.
1t was the expose by Lord
NOrthcliffe, In his London
Times, of the British govern
ment's inept failure to pro-
vide proper munitions for its
armies in France and Belgium
that led to the downfall of the
incompetent Asquith cabinet
and that put Lloyd Georges
vigorous and victorious war
administration in charge.
In the present war, the
British press helped to turn
the Chamberlain cabinet out
of office, and to bring the
Churchill cabinet in, at the
time of the debacle at Dun
kirk.

service of the most loyal
nature may be found in
