Rare Metal Has
New War Uses
TontoIum Used
in Surgical 'PIotes'

WASHINGTON tUp) 49,
Tsntalum, a rare and valuable
metal. has been put 10 new uses
in war work. including the field
Of surgery, according TO the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
A steel-gray metal costing Sos
a pound, tantalum is character
lied by durability, a high melt
ing point and resistance 10 most
chemicals II is so hard 70 OBJ
tain that importationS of ore are
measured in pounds rather than
tons Quantities greater than an
ounce cannot be sold by manu-
facturers without a special al
location order.
One Of rs most important new
uses is patching up war cas-
ualticS Thin plates Of tantalum
make the best substitutes for
parts OF the skull bone. as they
are unaffected by body Secre-
tions Tantalum wire so fine 4
s almost invisible IS used 10 sew
broken nerves Heavier wires
and screws of the metal are
used 10 fasten shattered bones.
But perhaps It's most valuable
function is an "electron getter"
in radar tubes. When heated,
ne tantalum filament absorbs
stray electrons which man can
not remove from a vacuum by
suction Unless absorbed in this
or some other similar fashion,
these molecules interfere with
tubes efficiency and finally
make i useless
In camera lenses, tantalum
gives a high index OF refraction,
making possible clear aerial
photography from greater dis
tanceS than with ordinary lenses.
II also is used as a catalyst in
making butadiene, important in
gredient OF synthetic rubber.
and as an alloy in metal plating.
Tantalum can be worked cas-
lily, although il is as hard as
rolled steel and three times as
heavy as iron These qualities
make il a boon in medical and
dental laboratories.
The only known source Of the
anthracite-like ore in the United
tates is the Black Hills of
South Dakota but deposits are
too small for profitable mining
The major supply is imported
from Australia, Brazil and the
Belgian Congo.

Kline Campaigns
On His Record

Mayor Marvin L. Kline is stand
ing squarely on the record of the
past two years in his campaign for
reelection as the city's chief eX-
ecutive, he said. Much has been
accomplished for the city's good
during that period, he feels.
In the first place is the manner
in which the city has been united
behind the war effort. The Mayors
office has been available at all
times to aid and assist in projects
connected with the war. Mayor
Kline also took steps to perfect
civilian defense organization
months before any other community
in this section of the country took
action. The Minneapolis Civilian
Defense Council, in fact, was in
emergency session in Mayor Kline's
office when war was declared.
Mayor Kline also is proud of the
manner in which the law has been
enforced during his administration.
Minneapolis, which in years past
has been spread across front pages
of papers throughout the country
in a derogatOry manner, has been
noted for it's lack of bad publicity
since Kline took office-and law
enforcement has been the reason.

tee. The purpose of the committee
is to develop through study and
public education-an understanding
of the common action among ma
tions-to establish a lasting peace.
The annual meeting of the COM
mittee was held at the Hotel St.

session was Mr.. Clark NJ. Eichel-

speaker at the dinner meeting was
Senator Joseph Ball.
Mr.. Owens, on request of the
chairman, spoke briefly reminding
the group that a large number of
colored people throughout the world
are engaged in World War II, and
they are observing the treatment
of men of color in the United States,
and it will influence not only the
war, but also the winning of the
peace.
Mr.. Cowling remarked, after the
hearty applause that followed Mr..
Owens statement, that it was indi-
cative of full acceptance of this fact
by the committee.

w. E.: What can do to win
this boys love? l want him to love
me so much that he won't even
notice another girl. Each time we
go out he flirts with every girl he
meets and l want him to notice
only me.
Ans: He's born dirt. A pref
ty girl is something he cannot re-
sist he notices them all. If
you worry yourself sick about his
flirting now, then you had better
call things off as he certainly isn't
going to stop it. Give the boy a
dose of his own medicine see
how he takes it. But, as for his
noticing only you that won't
ever come to pass.
A. NJ. J.: My mother died two
years ago and she told me to help
my father to raise my sister and
my brothers. My husband seems
to be satisfied but folks around
here seem to nag at US and tell us
to move out by ourselves. want
to know what is best to do?
Ans: AS long as you and your
husband are satisfied with your
present living quarters, why should
you worry about what other people
say. It's very admirable of you
two to help your father assume the
responsibility of raising your sis
ter and brothers. Right now he
needs your help. When the young
sters get a little older, you and
your husband should find a place
of your own. Bickering with your
neighbors should be avoided if pos
sible.
c. E B.: Print my problem in
the column as l need some help,
too. Why is it my husband is al
ways ready and willing to go and
do for his own folks but he never
will do and go out with his own
family?
Ans: He's selfish. He enjoys
being around his own folks and
naturally when they ask favor of
him, he does it. He can sit for
hours and chew the rag and brag
to them. When you and the chill
dren want to get out for a few
hours recreation he's always too
busy, because he knows it's a job
to look after the children and not
very interesting either. Don't sit

months ago and is stationed down

months after he left were devoted
as could be, but of late the letters
have a different tone to them. They

not. Our young wife is perplexed

Nationality Study

augurate Race and Nationality
Study Group

Study Group
In few days the Phyllis Wheat
ley Auxiliary will institute a pro-
gram for the purpose of study of
the history, background and present
status of various racial and nation
atty groups. The committee on
the study believes that the spon-
Sorlng OF such program is part
OF their job in connection with set
Element activities to promote good
will between the various races and
nationality groups that make I'D
the community.
These sessions are expected to
include every available bit of in
formation on these subjects and
other interesting features, such as
movies, talks from well-informed
persons concerning their native
background of the various groups
under study.
The discussions are planned on
a non-controversial and purely edu-
catlonal basis. A part of the plan
outlined for study is as follows:
First week, Negroes; second week,
Jews; third week, Chinese.
Under the Negro group, some at
tention will be given to study of
West Indians and other branches
OF African descent. Under the
Semitic group, Arabs will be dis
cussed. Under the Asiatic group.
the Japanese, exclusive of the pres
ent'military regime, will be studied
In addition to these, the colored
people of India and the people of
Central and South America. Eu-
ropeans, including the German peo-
pie, will be discussed.
Filipinos and Mexicans. each
forming an increasing unit of Min
neapolis citizenry, will also be
asked to take an active part in
these sessions. Among the inter-
esting matters to be discussed at
these study periods, are a thor
ough analysis of how, when and
where people commonly called Me-
gro came to be called by that name
and whether it should have been
generally adopted by Negroes.
Such speakers as native Africans.
persons who have lived or visited
IN Africa, people who recently re-

children and get out every chance
you get.
J. H.: Since '35 l have been 60
ing with a nice fellow who claims
that he loves me. Sometimes l
feel the same but just can't be
sure. Recently l met a man who
claims he's madly in love with me
and comes some 200 miles twice a
month to be with me. He's a col
lege man and am a college girl.
Both of them are nice. Help me to
choose the right one.
Ans: The fellow you have been
going with these past eight years
loves you devotedly and would
spend the rest of his life trying to
make you happy if he had the OPP
portunity. But, you don't love him
so that sums that affair up. The
man you have gone completely
overheard for likes you, also, but
he happens to be a married man
and he isn't interested in getting
married. The right man for you
just hasn't come along as yet.
NJ. NJ: A friend of mine is try
ing to get me to invest my savings
in a real good proposition and l
wonder if it would pay me as much
as he claims it will? He thinks it
may double my money.
Ans: There is no way of being
sure that you can double your
money and if you want to protect
your savings forget about this
"get rich quick" scheme that you
are bordering over. Put your saw
ings in War Bonds and you will
have nothing at all to worry about.
B. D. S.: Two years ago 1 ran
away from home. Now find that
I am sorry and l want to go back
to my parents and start life all
over again. 1 am Just tired of the
life I am living. Must I make the
change?
Ans: Abandon your present
life of wastefulness and dissipa-
ton and return to your parents
home. You have found out just
how bitter the world can seem
when you are out on your own
with no money and the wrong kind
of friends. You are still very
young and you can go back home
and enter school and prepare your
self for work.
