REASON 5:c537si5;

E MI am writing for a little
peep in on my husband. He is very
Iuiet and he never says anything.
de is no company to me at all. l
owe him and he says he loves me
)ut / am so lonesome because he is
such a poor company keeper. What
shall l do?
Answer-Stop blaming your hus-
oand and sweeten up your own
personality a little bit. The Lord
Intended that man should be the
orovider for a family not the
company keeper. That, my good
woman, is the wife's job and
Jou're sort of falling down on your
md of the bargain. Be thankful
hat you have a good, quiet, peace
owing husband, for there are thou
ands of wives who would gladly
,rade their slick-talking mates for
he man you are lucky enough to
lave.
B. HI met a boy and l have
my heart set on him. Oh don't
get me wrong l don't fall for
any and everything. But this young
man seems to be all MAN and not
just breath and britches. Does he
mean what he says when he claims
he will send for me soon? Is he
my type?
Answer-Seemingly, he has done
a good JOB Of convincing you that
he has everything you want or need
in husband. Now, if you can just
convince him that you have every
thing he wants or needs in a wife
then your problem is settled.
For safety's sake, it will do you no
harm to investigate a little more
about this boy if you intend to get
serious with him.
C. d. am paying a lady to do
some work for me. She is trying to
get a certain boy to marry me and
l have been to see her about six
or seven times. What l want to
know is, is she doing me any good?
Answer-Yes and No. She isn't
helping your cause at all but
she is doing right we'll by herself.
She has found a Sucker" and she
is in the process of bleeding" the
sucker, and you are 1T. Waste no
more of your hard earned money
on this quack. You don't need any
help to win this boy. You have the
charm to do the job by yourself.
K Y. Il am living here at
the army camp and my wife is here
with me. We are expecting a baby
the last of this month. We did not

Bill by Present Congress

Washington, D. C.-Because OF
the increase in lynchings which
brought the 1912 toll to six and
included the vicious numbering OF
two 14-year-old Mississippi chill
dren, the NAACP announced this
week that it has entered with re-
newed determination the 35th year
of its fight to abolish lynching.
The NAACP stated that voters
throughout the country are urged
to insist by telegram, telephone
and letter that their representa-
tives in Congress sign the dis
charge petition on HR 5 of the
Gavagan Anti-Lynching bill. The
passage of this bill by the 18th
Congress will be vigorously pushed
by the NAACP.

Brown COED Club celebrated St.
Patrick's Day with a kiddie party.
Pinafores, little princess dresses,
skirts and blouses, sun suits with
curls and braids with ribbon bows
made the lassies a very charming
group. The boys in their knickers
and shirts with anklets made a
rather interesting picture because
most Of the boys in the club are
basketball players. Stanley Tabor,
our Soldier Boy, of course wore
his Army uniform. London Bridge,
musical chairs, stunts and ring
games typical of children were in
vogue. Lolly-pops were given to
each member as they joined the
party and tasty food was served
the latter part of the evening.
Every one had a glorious time. The
color green was very prominent.

N. Y. NEWSPAPERS
BAN I'M CROW ADS

New York, N. Y.-An item in a
recent hotel trade publication stat
ing that metropolitan newspapers
would no longer accept discrimi-
mating advertisements was cited
this week by the NAACP as a step
forward in the interest of racial
unity. The NAACP said the new
policy should help in forestalling
the "hate season" so labeled by
the newspaper PM last year when
that paper launched a campaign
against the printing by newspapers
of resort and hotel advertisements
in which the words restricted" and
"select clientele" were used.
The story in "Travel Items"
February Is, warned:
"New York newspapers will no
longer accept advertising from
hotels and. resorts with such words
and terms as 'restricted,' select
clientele or exclusive In other
words, no advertisement can show
prejudice toward race, color or
orders from the District Attorneys
creed. The newspapers acted on
office of New York County which
warned accepting such advertising
was a violation of Chapter 40 Of
the New York State Civil Rights
Law and the penalty was a fine up
to $500 Give hundred) or up to 80
days Imprisonment, or both. The
District Attorney informed news
papers that immediate action will
be taken against all violations"

 2 All Sunday deliveries except of ice and fresh milk and cream are forbidden.
 3. The delivery routes of each company must be rearranged imme- diately so that they neither duplicate nor overlap.
 ODT did not explain the third point, but it raised the question whether competing companies would have to abandon parts of their reg ular routes to other companies. It was pointed out, for example, that in some large cities five or six dairies deliver milk over the same routes There is no answer yet on how ODT plans to handle such situations. After Thursday, the number of deliveries which may be made each week, either retail or wholesale, fol- low:
 Fresh or frozen meat, poultry eggs, fruits, vegetables, fish and shell fish, and live plants for food production-f1ve wholesale, three retail.
 Bread and perishable bakery products-siX wholesale, three retail
 Alcoholic beverages, not including malt beverages-one wholesale, none retail.
 Soft drinks, manufactured tobacco products, confectioneries or a com bination thereof - two wholesale none retail
 Malt beverages, in bottles-one wholesale, none retail.
 Malt beverages, in kegs - two wholesale.
 Fresh milk or cream-six whole sale, four retail (provided that no two retail deliveries shall be made on the same or consecutive days).
 Ice cream or ices-four wholesale none retail.
 Magazines and periodicals-four wholesale, none retail. | Laundry and dry cleaning five wholesale, two retail.

 Wholesale deliveries were defined as those made to a place of bus mess where the property will be ! sold at retail.
 ODT said that limits on retail milk deliveries would apply to horse drawn vehicles as well as trucks.
 The new order was an amend ment to the original ODT order re- stricting deliveries. Exemptions will remain the same and include deliv- cries to farms and ships, and deliv- cries of newspapers, certain mine products and explosives, medicines telegrams and U. s. mail. The ex- emptions apply only to frequency of deliveries and not to the 40 per cent ! cut in mtleage rationS,

 Grown Prince Umberto of Italy, Supreme commander of Italian in- fantry, issued an order of the day in commemoration of Italian Tn fantry Day" proclaiming that the third year of the war finds Italy in full preparedness
 Reports persisted that Premier Benito Mussolini has renewed his pleas to Adolf Hitler to send long, range coastal guns, more anti-air- craft guns and endorsements of troops and planes to fend off any Allied invasion.
 The British radio quoted Swiss re- ports, however, that the German Ambassador, Dr. Hans George Won Macssensen, had informed Mussolini that chances of obtaining aid on such scale were very slight at the moment because of Germany's own requirements.
 Rumania also was reported de- manding additional help from Ger many in view of the possibility of an Allied landing in the Balkans.
