R. c.: I have been attending a

Ans: Steer clear of any man who
has all those bad habits. He isn't
using any unfair means to attract

F. C. B.: l have been going with
a boy for two years and he claims
that he loves me but he has never
asked me to marry him. Recently
I met a very handsome soldier and
he loves me too and I think lots
of him, too. Would it be we'll for
me to quit the old boy friend for
the soldier or keep them both?
Ans: Competition is the spice of
life. 1t wouldn't hurt to wake the
boy friend up to the fact that he
may lose his gal if he continues to
take you for granted. On the other
hand, you have a great deal in
common with the soldier. But you
must appreciate the fact that he
cannot get serious with you until
after the war is over. Put off
getting married for awhile.
B. M. M: I worry a great deal
about the way my wife is doing.
She refuses to stay at home with
me and you can always find her
at a certain house nearby where
there is a bachelor who makes it
convenient to be there too. Also tell
me do either of these two women
care for me or are they out for
what they can get?
Ans: Why do you expect more
consideration of your wife than
you are willing to show in return?
You seem to want her to sit back
and like it while you carry on a
bit with the ladies and she
is trying to give you a dose of your
own medicine. Both of you are
going to have to make some drastic
changes if you find happiness to-
gether. Talk things over and settle
your differences now, before it is
too late.
L. M: There is a sweet little girl
that I really love who lives several
miles from me. I am not sure that
she loves me as much as I do her,
but I do know that she seems to
care for me a lot. Is it waste of
time to make these weekly trips to
see her?
Ans: Several miles is quite dis
lance to have to walk to go a-cOurt-
ing every week but, Oh Boy, isn't
the reception you get worth those
tired feet? This little lassie
doesn't intend for you to get too

The Federal Home Loan Bank

of value of property up TO 100

20 per cent necessarily guaran-

Veterans will find that state

as pointed out by Joseph Brott,
counsel for American Bankers
Association, who says, THE Gil

sede or modify the banking laws,
national or state" Veterans will
still run up against a battling
variety of obstacles in various
banking laws.
Some of these obstacles can be
avoided by shopping around
among different types of banks.
For instance, 5000 banks are ma
tionally chartered, and subject
TO Federal Reserve Act limita-
tons preventing them from
making real estate loans on a
second mortgage. Since Veterans

cages on CT guaranteed real es-

maker is so important to the
happiness and well-being of the
family that a word of caution
seems in order. This is the time
of year when everyone is talking
about vacations. Nearly all in
duStrial and business organiza-
tlonS recognize the right and the
need of their employees to have
vacation. The purpose of
vacation is TO give the worker
a period of complete freedom
and relaxation from the job so
that his tired brain and muscles
may have a chance to recuperate
from strain, and his WORKOUT
body cells may be restored and
rebuilt.
The most important factor 10
the success OF vacation is
change. Change in occupation,
change IN associations, change
III scenery or outlook, change in
thinking. 1t may not be possible
for you to go far from home or
90 anything very exciting or
spectacular on your vacation,
but try at least to get away from
your working associations, TO
have some diversion that will
free your mind completely from
its routine thoughts and prob
lens, and to have some change
of scene.
If you are an indoor worker,
spend your vacation in the open;
if an outdoor worker, you may
find complete relaxation indoors
more resful.

SAMPLE OF NAZIISM HERE

Out in Kansas City employees of a
bomber plant went out in strike Men
and women employees stopped produc-
ton; and for some reason this was
the only plant producing this partic-
ular type of bomber.
They not only declined to work in
that plant but they had pickets at the
gates to advertise the fact that a
strike was on.
Returned soldiers in Kansas City
heard about it. These returned SOL
diers, being 10 percent Americans,
decided to do something about it,
They did not propose to work in this
plant-take the places of the strik-
ers and do the work the strikers did
MT want to do under conditions and
wages to which the strikers objected.
They proposed to compel the strikers
to work as the bosses wanted them
to work.
So these ex-service men paraded
through the town. They visited tav-
erns, and even interrupted movies and
called for volunteers to go out and
disperse the pickets on the struck
plant.
And when they had gathered a
crowd they marched upon the scene
of disorder and found pickets, whom
they promptly dispersed.
All of which reads and sounds
something like what happened in Ger
many, when one group of Germans
decided to tell all other Germans how
they must perform. Decided to tell
them how to conquer the world.
Maybe the guy was right who said
that some people in this country
should not have read "Mein Kampf'
without having also read what hap
pened to it's author after he wrote it
These ex-service men should re-
member that they also will be working
for wages if there is any work
and if there is any wages which
is better than selling apples, as hap.
pened after the last war.

FEDERATIONIST'
CLEARS UP QUESTION

The American Federationist for Oc-
tober carried on its back cover a non
partisan "get out and vote" message
emphasizing the duty of Americans
to cast their ballots on election day.
There appeared at the bottom of the
page an illustration showing pencil
in the hands Of an individual and a
ballot directly underneath. By sheer
chance the pencil was in close proxim-
ity to the voting space assigned to
one of the political parties.
Because of this, some readers of the
Federationist have suggested that the
Federationist was showing partiality
Notwithstanding the fact that the text
of the message emphasized the tradi-
tional non-partisan political policy of
the American Federation of Labor.
The question having been raised, the
Federationist states that the position
of the pencil in the illustration over a
given column of the ballot was en-
tirely devoid of political significance
and that the pencil was so placed en-
tirely by chance.
Since the next issue Of the Fedora
zionist will not appear until after
election day, this means of clearing
the record is being taken.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

ravaged by the storms of war, lit
tie old Dutch lady will return to her
modest cottage with story of her
experiences of a few short days that
her grandchildren will never believe.
The story they will listen to with
amused doubt will go something like
this:
Granny was in her small cottage in
Limburg province. Nearby units of
the American 1st Army were battling
the Nazis. Suddenly bomb landed
near the cottage and when American
ambulance men came searching
through the wreckage, they found
Granny unhurt but too dazed to an
swer their questions as to how she
felt.
"Another hospital case," they de-
cided, and before Granny had regain
ed her speech she was bundled into a
plane. BY the time she had come back
to normal they were in a strange
place where people spoke an unfam-
iliar tongue. She jabbered at every
one in her native Dutch, but got no
satisfaction. Everyone just smiled
kindly and patted her shoulder. Gran
ny got madden and madder.
Finally, in the hospital, they
brought Netherlands nurse. She ex-
planned to the old lady that she was
now in England. "Well, said Granny
doubtfully, "if this is England, then
our Queen is here. / won't believe you
until l have seen the Queen"
When Queen Wilhelmina was in
formed of the case, she went to see
the old lady. For a long time she sat
at her bedside and asked her about
conditions in her town and about the
events of the last few days. When
the Queen left Granny was satisfied
that she was really in England. She
is contentedly waiting now for things
to return to normal SO that she can
go back to her cottage in Holland.

Debates on postwar policy at the
British Trades Union Congress, which
recently ended it's annual meeting at
Blackpool, England, must be evaluat-
ed in the light of the growing strength
of British labor and sharpening poliI-
ical differences between it's compon-
ents, the Public and Labor Relations
Service points out.
The left wing of British trade union
ism is led by Will Lawther, president
of the Mine Workers Federation, and
Jack Tanner of the Amalgamated En-
gineering Union. Sir Walter Citrine,
general secretary of the TUG, is the
spokesman Of the right wing majority.
The power of British labor is best
illustrated by the fact that every
third man or woman out of total of
23,OO0,OO0 British service members
and salaried workers belongs to a
union, the report pointed out. Present
TUG membership is in excess Of T.
100000, an increase of one million
since 1912. 70 percent of the work
ers are organized in 16 large indus
trial federations. About 100000
workers belong to organizations not
affiliated with the TUG.
Economically, the British trade
union movement has made tremendous
gains since the beginning Of the war
It's financial assets exceed SO million
pounds, as against 16 million pounds
in 1889.
The Transport and General Workers
Union, 100000 members strong, has
reserves of 8 million pounds, half OF
it invested in war loans and non in
terest paying savings certificates; the
Metal Workers Federation, with near
ly 100000 members, 5 million
pounds; and the Railwaymen's Union,
more than million pounds.
Some day, when Holland is no longer
