81 Negro officers, the first all Ne
gro units of their types ever to

arrived IN france, ana the tank
unit is already rated lone of the
best tank battalions in the army"
According to 1t. Col, B. B. Ken
non, the units rating at tank de-
stroyer tests goes far toward re-
tuting the significance of army in
telligence tests. The fact that these
more recent tests resulted il rails
ing the members from class 4,
where they were originally placed,
has startled psychologists.
Special mention is made of Pfc
Levi G. Yogi Bough, an orthodox
Jew who received his higher learn
ing from Virginia Union. Bough,
who formerly worked as radio
operator of the Bronx, is termed
a talented soldier who easily
swings out on boogie woogie on
his magic violin. At Virginia
Union, Bough starred as a basket
ball player.
The tank destroyer unit consists
of six white and 30 Negro officers
and all Negro G. rs. 1t. Col. L.
Bates OF Boonton, N. j., refused
promotion recently because he
wished to remain with the group
that he regards as zone of the
best tank. battalions in the army"

F. A. E. My dear Friend, I have
read so many good words you put
in the paper. Now I would like
you to help nee. My wife and I
cannot get along. / work at night
and she goes out every night,
drinks, and rides the bus. got
after her about it but she said
she didn't give darn how 1 felt.
She told me get out and find me
some place to stay, but 1 haven't
left yet. I am making good money
but I can't save penny some
how. What must l do?
Ans. First of all discuss your
affairs with your wife and find
out just what is the basis of
your trouble. If she objects to
the night job, you could ar
range to find day employment
that would enable you to be
with her more. If she feels that
you have been negiecting her,
you must try to be more at
tentive and have your amuse-
ment together. Avoid a divorce
if possible. Later on, if you still
feel that there is no other
course to follow, you will have
to make other plans. The cou.
pie who work out a satisfac-
tory budget are the ones who
save consistently and get ahead

 Under the American Constitu- ton, laws must be enacted by elected representatives of the people. Accordingly, new con- stitution permitting legislation by appointed bureaus would make every congressman a powerless figurehead.
