GoebbeIs Asks Patience
In Dealing With Raids
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Berlin radio said yesterday
that DR.. Paul Joseph Goebbels,
propaganda minister, was calling on
the German people to "have a good
deal of patience in order to settle
this problem" Of air attacks on Ger
many.
In quoting an article by DR.. Goeb-
bels in the German weekly Das
Reich, the broadcast, recorded by the
Associated Press, said:
Our measures against British air
attacks are naturally not confined to
defense alone. The moment has not
yet come to reveal what is in prep
aration to make appropriate and
convincing the reply to the enemy's
terror attacks ."
The article continued:
"Often it took long time for our
punishment to materialize. But
materialize it always did in the end,
The air war is only part of the war
fare as whole. Nevertheless, it
must be admitted that the air war
IN the last months has increased in
Importance and extent, giving rise
to serious contemplation"

is on. have four children now. Ny
husband is thinking of going. I
would like to send quarter for the
Astrology book and some advice.
Ans: Your husband could be
fairly safe in securing a good job
if he were to make the change now.
Since your health is at stake you
have all the more reason to make
this change to a more favorable
climate. Encourage your husband
to act now.
L. M: Say, tell me something.
l have been reading your column
often and now 1 want to know
whether my own husband is true
to me or not? The thing that wor-
ries me is that on pay day he is
always late and it makes me be-
lieve he has another woman.
Ans: Your husband has to pass
several very inviting beer parlOrs
on the way home from work. On
pay night the temptation is too
great to resist, and this accounts
for his coming home all "grOgged
up" on beer. You are woman
enough for him.
I. P: Would you marry in case
where you are not sure of your
love? 1 am eighteen years old. I'm
still going to school. 1 am very
fond of a boy but I can't say that
Pm really in love with him. He's a
grand fellow all right enough but
he's quiet and very unconcerned;
his ways are puzzling me. I've been
going with him for three months.
Ans: Neither of you kids are sure
of yourselves, hence it would be
unwise to marry now. Your friend
will soon be in the army and this
would only make a marriage all the
more unfair to both of you. Finish
school and enjoy the cOmpaniOnship
of the younger set for the next few
years.
S. H. c.: My son bought out a
bootblack stand. He is not able to
look after it but has another man
looking after it for him. Now, my
husband has job but he wants to
quit and look after this stand.
Would it pay him to give up his
job to take this over?
Ans: A regular income from a
permanent job is far better than
depending on little dribbles of
change from a stand. If he were
to give up his job and take over
the stand, he would have good days
and days that would barely net him
a thing. AS long as he's in good
physical condition, he should hold
on to his regular work.

G. S.: l am an unhappy child
just living a miserable life. fell
in love with a man some few years
ago and he visited me once but he
didn't know l loved him. l tried to
make friends with him but I failed
to have a success and l really mean
him good, no joke. He is married
now and 1 really love him just as
if he had never married. No man
can make me happy but him. What
am 1 to do?
Ans: You haven't given any
other man a chance to make you
happy. You have closed your heart
to every man but one and that
man has closed his heart to you.
Just you deprive yourself of a home
and happiness just to pamper this
imaginary love affair. Find the
right man and you can find kappi-
ness. Instead of staying at home
brOOding accept the invitations
that are extended you.
T. H.: am so unhappy because
have found out that I won't grad
uate and 1 have always looked for
ward to this time. I also wanted to
go to college and now 1 want to
go to business school. Will you
please advise me?
Ans: You mustn't let yourself
become too discouraged. You
funked because you didn't tend to
business. You were satisfied to drag
along at the foot of the class with
out putting forth any effort to pass.
You thought it was fun not to study
too much. Now you must pay for
your neglect. Tell yourself that you
will finish your schooling and de-
termine to buckle down and gradU-
ate. This can be done in summer
school. Don't let this setback in
terfere with your education.
L. G.: visited my girl friends
home Easter and everything was
lovely, but when I wrote her the
day after, she answered my letter
and asked me to stop writing her.
I don't know why or what to do
as I really can't let her go. I love
her very much.
Ans: You cooked your goose
when you paid her the visit. She
and the family had the chance to
size you up thoroughly. Girls are
funny and hard to figure out. They
fall in love one day and out the
next. You simply made the mistake
of trying to turn a friendship into
a love affair.
V. S.: I have thought of going
west for my health but I do not
know what to do now that the war

Appeal Made
to MillCitians
For NAAp

DR.. W. D. Brown, chairman of
the 1913 membership drive of the
Minneapolis Branch, NAACP, has
appealed to Negroes of the city to
become members of the organiza-
ton 100 per cent.
A large crew of workers, organ
lied to make personal calls on every
Negro home in Minneapolis, began
making their calls after pep meet
ing held at Phyllis Wheatley House
last Friday evening.
Many have reported in the first
few days of the drive that 80 per
cent of those contacted have re-
quested that the solicitor make a
second call and have not been able
to set a definite date to pay the 81
or more membership fee.
This attitude is being discouraged
by those leading the campaign. It
is believed to be unfair to the So
licitor, unfair to the organization
and unfair to Negroes themselves
because the organization is set up
to protect the rights and advance
ment of all Negroes regardless of
position or economic circumstances.
To do this means a great deal of ex-
pense to the association and lot
of valuable time and effort con-
tributed by hundreds of individuals
throughout the country without any
compensation.
Effective legislation for the pro-
lection of Negroes rights is con-
stantly being initiated and fought
through by the NAACP national
and local branches. A consistent
fight through the courts and by all
other legitimate methods for Ne
gro's protection on the job, in the
home, and in all phases of life is the
well established program of this
organization.
No prizes of any kind are being
offered this year. Those soliciting
are doing so purely because of their
keen interest in the welfare of the
Negro race.

White COnllmendS
Quelling of Foot
Suit Riots

New York, N. Y. - The
prompt action of Attorney
General Robert Kenney of
California in quelling and
curbing the recent "zoot suit"
attacks was commended this
week by Walter White, Executive
Secretary, National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, in letter to President Roose-
welt, Secretary of War Henry L.
Stimson, Secretary of Navy Frank
Knox and Attorney General Francis
Biddle of the Department of JUS
tice.
Merely banning members of the
armed services from areas in which
rioting has occurred is not suffi-
cient, White pointed out. He urged
that corrective action be taken
against the rioters whether wear
ing zoot suits or the uniform of the
United States Army, Navy, Coast
Guard or Marines. "Otherwise
these members of the armed SER
vices" he said, twill believe the
wearing of the uniform gives them
license to act as arbiters of how
civilians may dress, speak, act or
think. The inevitable result will
be anarchy and complete collapse
of democratic government"
Stating that it is superficial and
childish to attribute acts of this
character solely to modes of dress,
White explained that many zoot
suffers wear such clothing to COM
pensate a sense of being rejected
by society and that the wearers are
almost invariably the victims of
poverty, prescription, and segre-
cation.
perhaps even more disturbing a
factor in the Los Angeles rioting
is that the attacks have been pri-
marily upon Mexicans, Negroes,
and other non-white groups. Pre-
liminary reports to this office indi-
cate that a very large percentage
of the attackers are Southern
whites who are utilizing as excuse
the garb worn by the victims of
these attacks.
eve, therefore, urge vigorously
that responsible agencies of federal
and state governments take firm
and immediate action against all
persons responsible for the rioting
and, equally important, take i'm
mediate steps to correct the funda-
mental social evils of employment,
housing, segregation, prescription,
and recreation which lead young
people-Mexican, white, and Negro
to dress themselves in a fashion
to compensate for the sense of re-
lection and bewilderment from
which many American youths suffer
in the period of uncertainty and
chaos through which we are now
passing"
