sugars on the plump side, so drop
that argument. Your mother is a
wise and intelligent woman. She
knows what an education can do .
and you owe it to her to complete
your senior year in High. You
might compromise by promising to
marry after you get your diploma.
That ought to satisfy everybody .

R. M: This is my second husband
that married the 9Th of March and
I am hard worker and also he is,
but he just wants to throw away
everything that he gets his hands
on, on old cars and women. I talked
to him and it doesn't do any good,
and I say the way he does act he is
feeble-minded. Now that we are
going to farm together do you
think will get any money if we
make any or will he take it all? I
have little home and I am striving
to keep it. Shall I go on to the
farm with him or what must I do?
Ans: Give your husband a
chance. You can manage to hold
your property together until he has
proven his worth as a farmer. He
can be taught to save his nancy, and
now is the time to teach him. Help
him to outline a goal for the future.
Appeal to his ambition, whether it
is to run a profitable farm or to
own a business of his own. Pull
together. If you can convince him
that you are pinching pennies for
his benefit .. you will get his CO.
operation. So, give him fair trial.

Gates "are practical steps that can
and must be taken by public

These are emergency measures
aimed to minimize the duration and

and more important, measures to

are her suggested remedies:
1. Through newspapers and, radio

Natl. War Bond
Representatives
Here Last Week

John W. Written and Mrs. Nell
Hunter, representatives of the
United States Treasury Depart
ment, met with the heads of reh-
gious, civic and fraternal groups
of Minneapolis at the Rawjess
Club Friday, August 81. Mr.. Whit
ten and Mrs. Hunter are officials
of the Organizations Division of
the War Savings Staff, promoting
purchase of war bonds by Negro
organizations and stimulating the
Indignation of Negro citizens into
local war bond committees,
They conferred with officials of
the local war savings staff and were
highly gratified to know of the
splendid participation by the Wom-
ems Auxiliary of the Minneapolis
Urban League in local war bond &C
tivities. Mrs. Hunter stated that
Minneapolis and San Francisco,
California, are the only two cities
of the many she has visited where
Negro women have been accorded
representation on the campaign
committees without special effort
on the part of local citizens or off
Hcials Of the national staff.
Mr.. Written urged that the lead
ers of organizations point out to
the community, as a whole, the i'm
portance of purchasing war bonds
as a form of savings and invest
ment. Such purchases not only
help the war effort, but will serve
as nest egg for those who will be
thrown out of employment in the
post war period.
Both speakers urged all-out CO.
operation in the promotion of the
Forthcoming war bond campaign.
Mr.. Written advised there should
be a male representative of the

local folks have been quite envious
over this couples happiness. I'm
til last month everything in life
seemed to be perfection persona
fed" for the couple. Here's the
catch, though! It seems as if our
widower has a grown son by a pre-
vious marriage who has been in
the army. The young; good look
ing son had never seen his young
step-mother before, nor had the
step-mother seen the son, until re-

his dad.
Well, you might know the son
and his step-mOther, both being
round the same age. would fall
madly in love with each cher Gun
beknownst to the father and hus-
band) Since the young son had to
go right back III the army, the two
(who are so much in lOve) felt that
the separation would break up this
strong attraction they felt for each
other and that everything would
90 on as before they met. Fate
wouldn't have it that way. Last
week the father received letter
from his son saying he had re-
ceived an honorable discharge from
the army and he'd be back very
soon to make his home with him.
Our young stepmOther, upon hear
ing the news, is frantic and doesn't
know what to do. She does so
want to be true to her husband.
Do you think she should tell her
husband that she loves his son and
that she doesn't want the boy to
make his home with them? Well,
we're going to leave the situation
now, sup in the air." just the way
our young stepmOther feels. (Ain't

G. W.: My uncle died several
weeks ago. There seems to have
been a little swindling involved. He
had home, at least two houses.
One got away from him and was
sold to a wealthy banker. I don't
know about the other one yet. Do
you think I should try to obtain or
redeem this property or try to get
any of the money? I would like to
try to get the property and resell
it. Would it cost too much to fight
the case?
Ans: There are too many legal
complications involved in your
uncle's estate for you to try to settle
he matter without the services of
an attorney. The first step then is
to put the case in the hands of a
qualified lawyer. If you do not
have the funds to hire a good at
tOrney try to get him to accept
your case on a share-the-settlement
plan.
M. L. j.: For seven months I
have been going with one fellow.
He claims he loves me and has
been taking me everywhere I want
to go. He has bought me gifts on
special occasions. Recently I
learned that he and my best girl
friend had gone out together. I
asked him about it and he said yes,
but it wouldn't happen again.
Should I give him another chance?
Ans: Sure thing he's done
nothing wrong. Were you engaged
to the boy, it would be a different
matter but you're not. If he
wants to place your friendship on
just-gOOd-friends basis don't
get panicky. Accept the PROPOSE
ton like a good spOrt-On his own
terms. Date some of those boys
who have been asking to take you
out. Once your friend sees that you
haven't lost your sex appeal you'll
get some action on the situation.
This is one way to bring your court
ship to a head.
W. D.: am a senior in high
school, considered nice looking,
even tho I am plump. I have been
going with a boy for two years and
now that he is on furlough, he
asked me to marry him. I care a
lot about this boy and wouldn't
mind getting married to him but
my mother objects and says she
wants me to finish school first. He
has been so nice to me and is a
very nice boy and I am afraid if 1
miss this good opportunity, I will
never have one like it again. So
please help me.
Ans: Now don't you let the fact
that you are little plump influence
your decision to marry one way or
another. Most fellows like their

Queried on its position in the
case, the union is quoted as insist
ing that the auxiliary local which
has been set up for Negroes meets
all requirements and therefore, dis
missal of any Negro workers who
fail to pay their dues in the manner
provided is justified.
The FEPC has received assur-
ance from the compliments that
they are willing to pay their union
dues but in return they desire full
union membership. They insist,
moreover, that the auxiliary local
setup does not provide them with
that full membership and that if
they are required to pay their dues
into the auxiliary in order to keep
their jobs it is a violation of Elk

FEPC Orders
Return of Ship
yard Workers

Immediate return to work of the
Negroes in West Coast shipyards
who had been dismissed for refusal
to pay their dues into an auxiliary
union local of the Boilermakers'
union is being sought by the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice (FEPC) as a pre-
liminary move to adjustment of the
entire situation, it was announced
today by the committee. AS a re-
suit of investigation and a confer
ence held in San Francisco on Au-
gust 20-21, the positions of all
parties involved in the dispute have
been clarified, the committee re-
ported.
At present attempts are being
made to have worked out between
management and the union a pro-
cedure through which the dismissed
workers may be put back on their
jobs at once pending ultimate set
tlement of the entire dispute.
According to the announcement,
the discharge of the workers is ex-
planned by the management as
being in accord with it's contract to
discharge any and all workers, re-
CARELESS of race, creed or color,
who do not remain in good stand
ing with the union. The fact that
the workers in question are Ne
groes, the management insists, has
no bearing in the matter.

Sociologist Suggests
Steps to Avert Riots

New York, N. Y. (NAACP)-
An article, "How to Prevent Race
Riots, by Winifred Raushenbush,
a sociologist of national reputation,
appearing in the September issue
of The American Mercury, details
six steps that any community
threatened with racial trouble can
take to avert clashes of the nature
of the Detroit riot which claimed
"a lives, 25 of them Negroes.
Admittedly her article, says Miss

Round About the House

A bright and shining Christmas
with lights blazing is as traditional
in the United States as an ever
green tree. Not content with .
lighted tree indoors we have shared
our Christmas spirit by Illuminated
entrances and windows for the
pleasure OF the passerby and our
neighbors.
This year, however, we are asked
to use no outdoor lighting, and to
cut the indoor use of lights to
minimum. The good sense and wis
dom of this is apparent to all of us,
so the next move is to think up ways
to get our bright and shining effects
without the use OF many bulbs.
In a well-lighted living room the
Christmas tree will have to be q
blaze of small bulbs or be spot
lighted to have telling effect. With
the room lights out one large light
bulb, spotlighted on the tree, will
make every bit Of tinsel and every
light colored ornament shine with
a great and imposing glow. Place
your tree against dark crepe paper
panel instead of the light walls and
you will increase the effect of your
decoration a hundred per cent.
The same idea will work out Of
doors. Decorate your front door
with rich green boughs. Instead
OF bright red bow and red berries
which would need illumination for
effect, frost the boughs with arti-
f1cial snow, or white cotton which
looks like drifted snow A few bright
silver Christmas tree balls will pick
up illumination from the street
lights.
If you have the good luck to have
one light over your front door or
side lights to illuminate the step you
may increase the effect of these
without increasing the wattage by
the use of white paper tubes or
white fabric garlands. Paper mail
Ing tubes may be cut in half the
long way with . sharp knife. The
inside may be lined with white
glazed paper and frosted with arti-
ficial snow, If you like. Suspend
these below the lights at either side
OF the door. Shade the light source
with evergreen boughs and you will
'flnd that the shiny tubes carry
panels of light. almost as sharp as
neon, to frame the door.
You might recollect all you heard
about luminous paints and the discs
which were news when we were all
experimenting with blackouts. Many
OF these pick up their effulgence by
day and give it of at night. The
quiet luminosity OF this treatment
could be made exceedingly effective,
