Crystal Fausett
Speaks to Many
During Visit

Crystal Bird Fausett, special as
sistant in the Office of Civilian De-
tense at Washington, D. c., spoke
to several thousand Minnesotans
during a three day engagement in
the Twin Cities last week.
Brought here by the Women's
Activities Division of the Mime
apohs Civilian Council of which
Mrs. F. Peavy Heffleinger is chair
man, Mrs. Fausett charmed Negro
and white audiences by her force
full speeches delivered with smooth,
sweet integrity.
Mrs. Fausett told white listeners
there was an urgent need for more
opportunity for Negro and white
people to meet and develop normal
human relationships. She said
much of the prejudice against Ne
gro service men in England and
other foreign countries has been
instigated by Americans and that
Americans must make up their
minds about the kind Of treatment
the Negro service men will receive
when they return. She sighted the
interesting fact that Africa, con-
tinent that has been exploited by
the great powers of the world, is
now serving as a spring board to
freedom.
Negroes were advised to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities now
open to them, and suggested that
they do a better than average job,
cultivate the friendship of friendly
white people and work hard and
prepare to hold on to some of the
gains-made during this emergency
for post war security.
After her first address at the
Citizens Aid Building, sponsored
by the Women's Activities Division
last Friday, organizations and in
dividuals were clamoring for more
public and private appearances by
Mrs. Fausett. 1t appeared, she
could easily have spent several
weeks in the two cities making
speeches, had her schedule per
mitted.
During the brief period spent
here she talked at the Hennepin
Methodist church, sponsored by
the University of Life, there; Min
neapoEs Saturday Lunch club
meeting at Millers Cafe; Phyllis
Wheatley House, sponsored by the
Minneapolis Urban League aux
iliary; Halle Q. Brown House, IN
der the auspices of the St. Pau,
Women's Council.
On Saturday afternoon, March s
Mrs. Fausett addressed the Min,
nesota State Legislature as thG
guest of Roy Dunn, majority lead
er in the House. She was the CUES
at teas given by the Board of Di
rectors of both Twin City branche:
of the Y. W. C. A. and spoke brief
ly at each.

him?
Ans: You should. Being Obsti-
nate will get you nowhere and you
must know while you are young
that you can't always have your
way about everything. Your FRIEND
will think the more of you if you
admit your mistake openly. If he
was just another friend, it wouldn't
make a great deal of difference.
However, since you have gone SO
far as to talk about plans for mar.
riage, then you should make
amends.
S. R. F.: care a lot about some
one which I fought against very
much. In spite of my struggle ]
kept liking him more and more and
1 think he likes me (now don't mis-
understand me). This obstacle I am
writing about is one of the greatest
of my life. The obstacle is his sis
ter and mother. They are very, very
good to me and I like them lots.
but his sister keeps interfering by
coming to my home on the eve
nings and afternoons I am off duty
and interfering with our dates. She
keeps insisting on me coming to
their house on the evenings I am
off and l am afraid he will think
I am running after him. don't like
to be thrown at him in this way.
Ans: Say Sis, you don't know
how lucky you are to have the fam
lily on your side. By little diplOm-
acy on the part of you and your
friend, you can easily handle the
sister and mother. There are a mil
lion excuses you can give for throw
ing the sister off the track and it
can all be done without any hard
feelings. For further information,
write privately.
C. NJ. j.: My husband accuses me
of things l am not guilty of. He gave
me some money and told me to go;
and that he was going to leave town
This spell is on him now. Must ]
leave or stay and see if this spell
will pass over? We had planned tc
start housekeeping as soon as we
found a house.
Ans: Your husband is jealous
and quick-tempered and acts on the
spur of the moment. Stick around
for awhile and don't be surprised
to have him pay you a visit ant
admit his error. In the meantime
live a quiet modest life and accept
, no dates under any circumstance.

NJ. NJ: I have a couple in my

his wife can't agree. 1 told them
to move and they have failed to
do so. Please let me know how to
get them out?
Ans: Don't worry they are
as anxious to move as you are to
get rid of them. AS soon as they
find a suitable place, they will get
out. In the meantime, let them
know that you are anxious for them
to find another place.
A. B. c.: Please tell me what to
do. My wife did something that
most men would kill about. She
claimed l neglected her and sup
pose I did. We have three lovely
children and l have forgiven her.
Is this the thing to do? I am will
ing to do what's right.
Ans: And you have done the
right thing my good man. The Lord
will bless you for your understand
ing heart and your devotion to your
family. Your children mean more
to you than life itself and without
a mother, life would be most IN
happy for them. In admitting her
guilt, your wife proved that she
was shielding nothing only beg
ging your forgiveness.
P. T.: l am in a little business
of my own making bridal gowns,
trousseaus and costumes. This
work is exactly to my liking and
am very talented along these
lines. Must I give up my business
to go to work in a defense plant L?
Ans: There are other ways you
can help win the war besides work
ing in a defense plant. You can
take more active part in Civilian
Defense. You can buy war bonds
and do Red Cross work. In your
case, these civic deeds will take the
place of defense work.

Gas Hoarders Endanger
Lives of Many Persons

No homemaker or her husband

Miss Gladys Ward, home manage

holds for the can Of gasoline that Is
being stored In a dark closet.
Gasoline. because Of its high ex-
plosive character has come to be
termed liquid dynamite" and Is
considered even more treacherous

Of counteracting the careless stor-

In an approved safety container, re-
mote from fame or open fire. Such

WAVES AND WAACs

A great many thousand WAVES
and WAACS are serving their coun-
try in Washington and throughout
the nation. 1t is universally recog-
nized by the highest officers OF the
Government and military forces that
these women rank at the very top
in efficiency and conduct, and that
no branch of our services are as Tree
from criticism as these women. The
recent smear was entirely unfoundF
edit was plain dirt. When the mat
ter came up in one of President
Roosevelt's press conferences few
DAYS ago it was found that only a
few newspapers gave any space TO
the slurs questioning the morality
of these fine women. The families OF
the WAVES and WAACS are all JUS
tilted IN being proud of these two
groups.

AN OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR
O'CONOR
Rising Sun, Md,
TuIy 10 1OAQ


July IL, 1913
Governor Herbert R. O'Conor,
Annapolis, Md.
Dear Sir:
Just thought that you might want
to know just how we are getting
along UP in this neck of the woods.
Last year l lost nearly one-half
of my crops on account of labor
shortage. On April 80, 1912, / paid
my hired hand his months wages
$4,000 with board). He got drunk
and the train struck him next morn
ing and killed him. Hired another.
He worked about two weeks; got his
pay and got drunk, and l did not
see him for ten days. Worked a
couple of weeks and got his pay and
went South and I did not see him
again for six weeks or more.
Asked for help on July 20 at Gov
eminent Employment Office, and
have received no help since from
that source. Had "a cows and no
one except my wife, who is past 70
years, to help me, and | am past SO,
until the first of March. Had boy
of draft age deferred, who stayed
with me until week ago, and he
walked off. Now am in the same
situation / was in a year ago, ex-
cept I have sold part of my dairy
Now l have onyl II cows.
Result of all this-lost half of
my wheat last year; half hay crop;
did not get all my corn crop in until
June of this year. My allotment for
wheat was 1879 acres. Plowed the
ground, but the 1st of Dec. caught
me with only ten acres sowed, and
had to quit to get some corn in to
feed my stock for the winter. Result,
land that~I have grown "A bushels
of wheat on won't make 90 to the
acre; only half hay crop cut: wheat
cut, but no one to help get it in,
and so far as help is concerned 9th
er farmers are in Just as bad Ak
as I am.
Here the 18th OF July and only
one farmer that / know has threshed,
and that his barley. Could not the
State stop the road work and other
work to relieve the labor shortage on
the farms? The farms are the base of
all industry, and If the CROPS are to
rot in the fields how are we to feed
and clothe our Army and furnish
them ammunition and equipment,
and this nation and also conquered
countries7
why not stop these nonessential
jobs just for the present, and put the
men to work to save the crops, II 1t
is not done. one OF these mornings
