Tom meant everything to our
heroine. He brought her new
courage, life and happiness. He
made a splendid escort, so hand
some and such a gay partner. When
he first mentioned marriage, our
heroine was so happy she felt as if
life was too good to her. She re-
members now, though, oh, so well,
when he said, Dear, before We
marry let me have those last three
pieces you composed l want to
show you that l can put you up
there where you belong. Up
among the leading sORgwriters."
Of course our heroine gave him the
pieces, not thinking anything
could possibly be dishOnOrable
about Tom.
Yes, even after Tom so sudden
ly disappeared from town leaving
no word as to where he had gone,
our heroine still loved him and
lived for the moment he would re-
turn and explain about his unusual
disappearance. How ironical it
was, after Tom had been gone for
over a year, when our leading lady
received the two most crushing
blows of her young life. First
when she actually heard with her
own ears over the radio, one of the
very beautiful pieces that she COM
posed being played by one of the
country's leading white bands.
Yes, there was a slight change in
the tempo but the composers name
was not hers, nor Toms either,
but a name she had never heard
before. The second blow came that
same evening when she heard, by
accident, of Tom who is living out
East with no visible means of sup
post, but living in fine luxury.
Our herOine's world has come
tumbling down round her. Can it
be that Tom, the man she still
loves, sold her song to some we'll
known band and that he is reaping
in royalties on her song while she
is here suffering with a broken
heart? What do you think? Well,
the last l heard is that the lass,
who will be accompanied by her
parents, is planning a visit mighty
soon out East to call on Tom (the
cad).

yourself to blame.
C. G.: Please help me on this
love affair. l have a girl friend
whom l am in love with real bad
and she is the first person I've been
in love with. l work mostly at
nights and cannot sleep in the day
time when 1 am supposed to sleep,
thinking of her. Is she true to me
on all occasions? 1 am so badly in
love with her I can hardly allow
myself to think she is being I'M
true. =
Ans: When a guy feels the way
you do about a gal, it's time to "see
the preacher" You are old enough
to understand and appreciate a
wife. =. What's holding you back?
A. H.: I live with my mother-in-
law and she is subscriber to this
paper. Please, sir, try and put it
in this weeks paper. 1 will send
for your Astrology Reading and
Lucky Day Chart later. Why is my
husband acting like that, and will
he ever change, and what will
change him?
Ans: Living off his mother
won't change him. It's time your
husband grew up to the fact that
he is now married and that you and
he should be in a place by your
selves. Commence buying furni-
ture and go to housekeeping just as
soon as you can. He needs a re-
spOnsibility to keep him out of
mischief.
M. S.: He says Pm the only
woman he ever loved, other than
his mother and his sister. He says
he wants to marry me. He wants
me to give up my job and stay
home and depend on him for sup
port. Shall /?
Ans: Well, that's about as per-
feet a proposal as any man could
offer. He wants you to be his wife
and he wants to take care of you.
Such offers don't grow on trees.
Feed him well and he'll do the
rest.

NOTICE

Because so many, many persons
have accosted me and inquired
about my being in the raid at the
Clef Club, 1 should like to make
the following statement: The name
Edna Lee as it appeared in the
paper was correct and it should not
have been Edna Russell as so many
people have supposed because the
address mentioned was the same
as mine. Edna Lee is not Edna
Russell!

PAPER CANCELS AID

<AA I'm S<A4NSASANAC 3AD
Peculiarly the week before
Scheiner and Newman Investigated
the case the fur concern ordered
two ads to be inserted in the Re-
corder. One ad ran last week,
Jan. 16, before the two men called
on Mr.. Gerschow. After the stormy,
unsatisfactory conference the paper
refused to run the ad ordered for
Jan. %, on the grounds that it did
not run commercial ads of firms
which it considered would not APP
preciate Negro patronage.
Paper officials pointed out that
in view of Gerschow's high temper
and attitude and evident race
prejudice there is no guarantee
that he would not subject some
woman reader of the paper who
had read his ad in the paper to the
same treatment Miss Bradley was
accorded.
Won't Have to Pay for Ad
Gerschow was informed in a let
ter from the paper Tuesday that
he would not have to pay for the
ad run in the Jan. 16 issue: The
paper said in its cancellation let
ter:
q. as organ for the Negro
community, we certainly would be
remiss in our duty if we did not
inform the Negro public that you
have no apology to make for indi-
eating racial prejudice by your
use of distasteful race-hating
epithets."

Well, believe it or not, it really
felt like spring in full bloom this
week, didn't it? l suppose by the
time this paper gets on the news
stand, though, it will be down be-
low zero again. Anyway, it GER
tainly is swell while it lasts. More
youngsters about town (and old
sters, tOO) say that this spring
weather makes them feel light
hearted and gay, despite the trying
times we are going through now.
And, as usual love lives on" for
you've heard, l suppose, of the fol-
lowing:

NOVELETTE, OF THE TWO
TOWNS: This is one of those I'm
usual incidents that happen right
here in our towns, under our very
eyes and we know nothing about
them-until now when / shall tell
you about it just as it was told
to me. Our heroine in this story
is a Twin City girl, quiet, unassum-
ing, but very talented when it
comes to composing popular songs
on the piano. Being one of those
persons that keeps very much to
herself-no one but her immediate
family knew much of her piano
compositions. They, not thinking
much of the songs she wrote, new
er encouraged her to do anything
with them. Not until Tom 1--WE
shall call him that came along
did orr heroine ever have any So
called happiness. She never I'M
derstood why he took up with her
so suddenly after having met her
only once over at one of her girl
friends house. Except, it might
have been her piano playing. He
did so love music and especially
those very blue, moody and roman
tic pieces she composed on the
piano.

MONTGOMERY "CON-FUSION"
Whenever political malcontents
get on the outs with a reigning Or

or fusion" party usually follows.
1t happened and died out in the
pre-campaign days of 1910 when
anti-New Deal Democrats talked
coalition with Willkie. 1t happen
ed in New York City when a real
fusion" effort beat Tammany Hall
to seat La Guardia as Mayor. 1t
happened in Montgomery County
in 1884 much to the subsequent
sorrow of it's proponents who,
while succeeding at the polls, turn

that nearly Frustrated the county

to say he was granted an addition

coolly.
These additions have been held
at irregular intervals at the Lord
Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore, and
all candidates or even potential
ones have been invited to appear
before sort of board-of-inspection

ing. The first question shot at the
aspirant is what his position has
been regarding President Roose-
welt and his war and foreign policy.
The second question is one of
hypothetical nature. 1t goes
something like this: "If you were
voting on a bill in either the legis-
lature or in Congress and the inter-
ests of labor were involved would
you automatically defend Labor's
interests or would you be swayed
by any other considerations"
There are other questions asked

queries he "flunks" the exam. At

from removing some of their best
troops from the front lines and
resting them in comfortable winter

There can be no doubt that the
Russians had developed techniques
and material approximately equal,
if not superior, to those of the Ger

Germany may, even without the

the lost ground in Russia. She may
win battles there this summer, but
it is by no means certain that she
can win the battle-the battle of
