J.B.: I have a wife and two chill
dren. l work out of town with a
contractor. / send my wife money
every week and when l go home
she tells me that l didn't send her
enough. She doesn't want me to have
any money in my pockets to spend.
l don't drink or smoke. She's get
ting so fussy. I make SAP, and send
her $32. What must I do?
Ans: It's enough to make a wO-
man fussy to have the entire re-
spOnsibility of the family thrown
on her shoulders all at once. Even
though you are making more money
working out of town, it isn't doing
you any good. AS it takes all the
money you make to maintain a place
for your wife and family and a
boarding place for you. When you
finish your present job, get en-
plOyment at home so that you can
help share the responsibilities.
SIR: I thought that you could
give me some advice. 1t is hard for
me to keep a job. After I work a
week and on a nice job too, I can't
rest until I quit. Is there some way
that you can help me?
Ans: You must acquire more sta
bility in your habits. Quitting one
job after another is just giving in
to your weaknesses and putting
you further behind in your efforts
to succeed. Whenever you feel the
urge to quit, you must not humor
this thought. Dig in and work
harder than usual until the period
of dissatisfaction leaves you. Being
drifter is a serious handicap and
you should begin now learning to
overcome this fault.
E.B.: I am in distress. I was ad-
vised by a friend to write you.
have son who is in love with a
girl and she is of the wrong type.
The more 1 try to talk with him
and show him of his danger, the
more he disobeys. My home is all
upset.
Ans: The quickest way to force
your son into the arms of this girl
is to continually condemn her. The
better way of handling your prob
lem is to say no more about the
girl. Young people sometimes
choose the wrong friends, but if
left alone, they generally find it
out before it is too late. Invite
some attractive girls into your
home include this girl also
the contrast may open his eyes.

MUSIC FESTIVAL
Continued from Page II

Douglas Lewis and Brewer Lee
Clark played an organ and piano
interlude from $50 to 1880. Dolly
Patillo, Minneapolis, accompanied
at the piano by Mrs. c. Mendoza,
played several violin solos.
The festival committee under
the direction of J. w. Pate, won
acclaim for their successful at
tempt to give the music loving
public such splendid entertainment.
Compliments to:
st. James A. M. E. choir, st.
Paul, for their correct timing.
They finished both songs before the
five minute warning signal had been
given by George Hall, exalted ruler
of the Minneapolis lodge, who acted
as time keeper. Each group was al
lotted seven minutes. 1t was i'm
possible for them not to sing, under
the direction of Mrs. Moore, who
gave the appearance of knowing
just what she wanted and made her
choir do it.
To Wayman A. M. E. choir, a
small church with a big choir, for
their stage appearance; To St.
Peter church choir for the arrange
ment of Nobody Knows"
To the Gospel chorus of Zion
church, Minneapolis, for their
beautiful dubonnet and eggshell
robes and their effectiveness to
their director.
To Mary and her escorts-three
male singers-for their unique
style of singing "Down by the Old
Mill Stream" and to their pianist
whose playing was pleasant to
hear.
To the Treble Clefs for their at
tire, purple capes with gold braid
made into "treble clefs" on the
right shoulder.
To the Barber sisters for their
rendition of the Lords Prayer"
To the Elks Festival Committee
for remembering the aged of the
Crispus Attacks Home, St. Paul,
and the Uptegrove and Mitchell
Rest Homes, Minneapolis, their
guests.
Each of the participating organ
izations deserve great credit for
the spirited manner in which they
contested for honors. We hope the
festival and contest will become
an annual affair. If it does it will
stimulate the choirs and musical or
CARNATIONS of the two cities.

Wonder Who the cute little office worker is who wears daisies in her hair? Who sent all the cute valentines on Feb. 14th. Why the air hoses are used so much sometimes. Who the chaser is who goes under the title of Junior. Who the chaser is who is called the office boy. Who the material clerk is who has a dining car. Who the policewoman is who likes Gin-Rummy. Why Plant Protection doesn't give away free Sen-Sen daily. Who and how the new gasoline station owners are doing. Who some new fathers give away cigars and some don't. Who the Zombie is. A question. Who Mae West is and where she is.
 Why some stock clerks can't be disturbed at night time. How the bowling league is doing these days. Pretty quiet Who the elderly man is who wants to buy jeep. What became of the lunch hour entertainment. How many escaped headaches over the income tax filing. Why we can't have some new rec ords for our daily broadcast. When the war will end. If we work harder if it will end sooner.

Stalemate and Growth

Tn the drowsy land of Status-QuOs By the waters of LasSes-F Faire, Where Thought and Progress never
 go, Lest they suffer from Mal-de-Mer. There dwelt one Jonathan Best
 Stay Put And his good wife. Wait and Seas Like happy clans that squirt from
 rut Of some stinking Cove by the Sea. The tales of the lives of the JOn- athan Puts, Would indeed make rismal read-
 ing; They slept and woke, and filled
 their guts And did their share of breeding. Like chattel slaves of the Feudai
 days. They labored till life's last breath: If aware of Deaths first darkening
 rays, Then their one great thrill was
 death. Better a song as we go along. Maybe some risk or dare, Or whoop it up along with the
 throng, Just morsa1 of Devil May Care. Root loud for what we think is
 right, Drag the Black Dirt out in the
 Sun. Maybe sometimes we'll have to
 fight,
 Burt it's a helluva lot O fun. I'll swap the comforts of Status
 Quo By the waters of Lassez-Faire For just one chance to make a go Of some gadget new and rare. For that's ahe greatness of the
 U. s. A., We know the old, but we try the
 new, And daring to try, and daring to
 say Is the diet on which our greatness
 grew.

Not Surprised at Japan Atrocities

''The recent announcement Oh Jap treatment of Allied prisoners didn't amaze me at all. In fact I have no doubt many of the worst atrocity stories have not yet reached the United States" So spoke thirty-year- old Chief Gum ner's Mate George Maginnis of Philadelphia, veteran of 12 years of naval service, much of 1t in the Far East. Most Americans only began to hate the Japs after Pearl Harbor," MaginniS remarked, "but I'd been stationed out in China in the early thirties when the Japs began their bloody march to pow CT, so I had plenty of opportunity to work up an advance grudge of my own.
 When the famous Panay incl dent took place I was stationed on board Admiral Yarnell's yacht, the ISABEL, and we went up the river to investigate. And since we were anchored right off Shanghai when the Japs attacked that city, had first hand closeup preview of Jap cruelty. After the Japs pushed the Chinese back. they took a lot of prisoners. Time after time I saw them line up captives on the docks. tie their hands behind their backs, and push them into the river. One rEA Tad 'floaters' drift by our ship.
 50 you see I know what hap pens when the JapS overrun a country. And I've a pretty good idea what it must be like to be prisoner of those monkeys. Re- member, the more equipment turned out by all hands back here, the less of our boys will fall into the Jap hands out there!"
