you. If teaching fascinates you
more than anything else stay
there and apply for a teaching
position. If you feel that you want
to do defense work register at
the state employment office in your
section and take an aptitude test
and find out what type defense
work you can do best. If you take
the defense job, you will have to
leave home.
G. j.: I love my two STEP
daughters and they love me. My
husband is so mean to me. Most
of the time he is cross and mean
to his own girls too. I don't give
him any cause to be mean to me.
He doesn't want me to spend any
of his money and when I have
to spend some he raises cain. Now
I've always been true blue. Must
I get job and go to work like
I am planning? Pm desperate.
Ans: It's essential that you have
an income and if he refuses to give
you enough money to feed you and
his two children, then you must
get work. He shouldn't get the
benefit of your earning if he doesn't
respect you, but on the contrary,
he should be made to care for these
two children and provide a home
for them. Make an effort to settle
your differences and try to avoid
permanent separation.
R. R. E.: I have been going with
a soldier for a year and he has
been treating me fine. But some
how have a feeling that I
shouldn't take him so seriously. He
treated me royalty during his
furlough and I appreciated his
hospitality. He appears to be nice,
but I believe he may be jiving me
just to keep me writing to him.
Is this true?
Ans: What more can the soldier
do he spent all of his furlOugh
entertaining you, was a devoted
companion and writes to you
regularly . =. isn't that proof that
he is a true friend? Just because
he didn't ask you to marry him and
force you to promise to wait for
him is no reason that he doesn't
admire you. He's using good judg-
ment by keeping this affair on a
friendly basis until he is in
position to get serious.

Consider the Lowly Cow;
She Merits Affection

Cows are remarkably healthy ami
mails. They endure extreme cold
and rain and, at times, acute heat,
with little or no shelter other than
their own hides. They survive drouth
and food, injury and occasional bac-
terial infection, with stole calm. A
sick cow is by far more exceptional
than common.
Grass creatures must snatch their
sustenance from the broad earth,
ranging widely as they feed. We
say Of sick or injured animal that
it is down" We mean exactly that.
Down. It is down under some scrub
trees or in a thicket, eyes staring
fxedly forward, growing thirstier
and thinner hourly, losing by fever
the energy needed to rise first to its
knees, then to its feet; down finally
with its head lolling, tongue out, eyes
rolling. Alone. The herd has moved
on. It is the law Of the grass.
The cow has a callow, unrespon-
sive reaction to displays of affection
or tenderness. She may be casually
attentive to any master, yet remain
singularly unimpressed by and I'M
preferential toward all. She may
be bought and sold every month,
passing from hand to hand with I'M
ruf1ed calm. She marks with her
eyes only the man on the haystack.
Your love and appreciation of her
will be unrequited; yet, if you know
her, you will persist in it.

So much interest was developed

that he was catapulted to fame

New York
ShOWFrOnt
By Don DeLeighbur

NEW YORK-Betty Roche,
Duke EllingtOn's vocalist, who gets
little publicity, is in reality a fine
young artist. She appears nightly
with the Duke at the Hurricane on
Broadway and in many ways is
filling the spot admirably that was
once so capably held by Ivy Ander-
son.
And the way she fits in the tight
Ellington combination mirrors the
trend of the times. Ellington's
band, many critics claim, doesn't
sound like the Duke of 1894 and
1887. This, they say, is due to the
fact that Dukes mainstays are
gone: COOtie Williams, Rex Stew
art, Chauncey HaughtOn, Jimmy
BlantOn and others.
The newcomers aren't to blame
for not being adaptable to fit into
the Ellington motif right off the
reel What Duke plays today is not
what Duke played yesterday. And
today is where Betty Roche fills in,
but nicely.
Billy Kyle, piano marvel for so
long with the original John Kirby
band, is back in town wearing his
uniform with a degree of pride.
Billy, just in from maneuvers with
the 93rd Division somewhere in
Louisiana, has his mind on win
ming the war all by himself so he
can get back to Kirby.
Meanwhile, Clyde Hart, the
Coated pianist-arranger, is doing
capably in Kyle's seat at the box,
despite the domestic situation here
in Harlem in which Mrs. Hart says
"My Man Is Cone"
Ella Fitzgerald faltered in her
first appearance at the Club ZanZl-
bar on Broadway opening night
few weeks ago. She seemed ill-at-
ease, and somewhat out of place
up there in front of Don Redman's
band as she sang several popular
tunes.
Well received by the crowd, Ella
evidently knew what was wrong.
One thing-the micrOphOne
system was bad; another, Ella
wasn't grOoved right.
She was put in the show near
the finale, with Moke and Poke pre-
ceding her and the Berry Brothers
coming on after her.
And brother, that is tight spot.
Only Barnum & Bailey or Gen.
Macarthur could come out of a
spot like that.
Ella came out of it, though. She's
now singing in the style she is ac-
custOmed to sing.

iere at the same time last week
(Harlem's RKO-Alhambra and
Broadway's Roxy the boys with
the books started checking and
found out that it was the first time
in history that a major Broadway
theatre had played an all-Negro
feature in such a manner.
Meanwhile, the Roxy front Of
flee announced that it's first col
ored band will be Count Basic now
under contract for an indefinite
number of weeks beginning late in
January, February or in March.
It has been two years since the
Count played a major Broadway
theatre, the Strand. Four years ago
he worked one date at the Para
mount.
Plans are taking shape to have
the first actual election of mayor
of Harlem" on the order of the
Mayor of Bonneville elections in
Chicago. Bill Robinson has
been regarded as mayor of Har-
lem" for many years and no per-
son saw fit to challenge him on it
until now. Since Bill is on the
West Coast heading his own show
and not in Harlem, the boys along
the local stroll have cooked up
program to elect one of their own
to the mythical office with all the
honor that goes with it. ..
Among those who are not averse
to facing the wrath and ire of Bill
when he comes home are said to be
Ralph Cooper, demon emcee; Willie
Bryant, loaned to the Caverns in
Washington for awhile; Ed Smalls,
owner of the famous night club;
Walter Scott, manager of the Hotel
Theresa; Lawson Bowman oper-
atOr of the widely known grill and

lenger, DR.. H. Binga DESMOND and
many others.

W. c.: My aunt wants me to
come to Ohio and stay with her.
Said could get a good paying
job. I was there once and stayed
several years and did better than
I ever have here. Should 1 go?
Ans: Make the change if you
are dissatisfied where you are. She
is very anxious to have you make
your home with her. Finding a
job won't be any problem. She
already has one lined up for
you. You need to learn to make
friends E. this is your main draw
back.
E. c.: I read your column every
week. Please help me if you can.
My husband and I have been mar
ried ten years, we have no children
and he works and makes a good
salary, but can't get him to
save anything. What can we do to
save?
Ans: BUY WAR BONDS. Buy
a bond a month and keep it up and
once you two get the habit, you will
really want to continue saving as
long as you live. You could get a
job and start the ball rolling
save every penny that you can
earn and live on your husbands
salary. If you expect to be financial
ly independent when you grow old,
you must save while you are young
and able to work.
Heartbroken: My problem is be-
yond my control. I don't know
what to do. I can't get this man
off my mind. I want him so much
sometimes I can't hardly control
myself. What makes me feel the
way I do toward him?
Ans: You're disillusiOned be-
cause he makes no attempt to en-
courage or discourage your atten-
tiOns. He ignores you and this has
a tendency to make you want to
go to drastic lengths to gain his
friendship. It's no use calm
yourself and get on friendIier terms
with the young men who are eager
to go with you.
H. j.: Will you please help me
to decide whether it will be a sound
idea to go to California and get
a defense job or stay here and try
to get job teaching.
Ans: Finding employment is no
task now. But it is important that
you look for work that appeals to
