S.S.C.: I'm between the sap and
the bark. The boy / love and who
has asked me to marry him is act
ing rather strangely. l heard that
he had baby by another girl and
when asked him about it, he
denied it to me. Now l found out
that it was really true. / saw the
child at his home and his mother
told me that the mother died when
it was born and this boy refuses
to do anything at all for the child.
Now should l marry a fellow who
will do nothing for his own son?
Let me know Immediately.
Ans: One as young as you
should not even think of getting
married as you are not old enough
to assume the responsibilities that
marriage demands. Nevertheless,
single girls should choose their
friends from among the desirable
young men who are or will eventu-
ally be good marriage prospects. Do
not be too hasty in condemning this
boy until you find out the facts
in his case. If he prefers to con.
tinue silent on the matter, Their
that will be a logical reason for
you to fade out of the picture. You
certainly do not want to marry any.
one about whom you have SO many
misgivings.
re: Recently / purchased &
home here in the north where
have been for the past few years
Would it be a good idea for me tt
sell my home in the south and pay
the money l get from it on the
home l have here or continue OF
paying taxes there and trying tt
pay off the notes on the one W
here.
Ans: There is every indication
that you intend to make your home
permanently there where you are
so why not sell your other place and
clear up the indebtedness on the
new investment. You will probably
realize more money from the ole
home now than you ever will again
The rent you are receiving from
this place is barely enough to off.

quires to keep it up.
V.R.R.: I am writing you con-
corning a friend of mine. To begin
with, 1 am 80 years old and he
says he is 80. He is married and
says he is in love with his wife
yet he always acts jealous over
me. Now does he really care for
me or not? The boys where he is
stationed says he told them that
he was going to marry me after
! the war.
Ans: An old old story with the
same unhappy ending. He has told
you that he loves his wife and he
is not going to divorce her and

you may have heard. You were nice
company while he was stationed
near you but since he has been
shipped away, he has made no eff
fort to contact you Leave well
enough alone this was def
nitely a step in the wrong direction
for you There are plenty Of single
boys who have so much more to Of
fer never become involved again
with a married man.
O.S.D.: 1 have had a very happy
home life with my husband but l
don't know what has come over
him recently. He just gives me
enough money to pay bills and he
spends what he wants to and draws
out of the bank but when draw
any from the bank, he tell me how
much. If ask for more money he
begins nagging. Will l be able to
change or persuade him to change
from that moody way he has at
times?
Ans: When a man is tempera-
mental and moody at home it is
evidence of the fact that he isn't
altogether happy. Friction over
money matters could be the basis
of this unrest. Handle the finances
of the home in a sensible, well bal
anced way, preferably by adopting
a budget. Then your husband can
see what it actually takes to run
a home and for what the money is
being spent. Money is necessary to
a happy life but don't Oyer-empha-
size its Importance. Your husbands
love and appreciation is more i'm
pOrtant to your well being than
anything else. See to it that he
gets the love and devotion that is
due him.

"All right-minded citizens should

The bishops speech was stinging
denuncition of race hatred against
Negroes and Jews and enemies of

He said that "the founding faith
ers knew that they were leaving
democracy with some unfinished
business. 1t is up to us to finish that
business. High on the list of the un-
finished business is the American
Negro.
''It is obvious, but unpleasant, to
say the Negro is oppressed econom-

it or not, lot of adult stars not so
much younger than herself.
There was the time, for instance.
when she had Constance Bennett

to Dorothy, was the outstanding ex-
perience of her screen career as
mother.
Eyes, had to put on a little age
ing makeup to handle that assign
ment," Dorothy said in excusable
self-defense.
Miss Peterson's closest rivals in

mately the most insufferable and
tasteless exhibit since Washington

In all truth, the musical has moth
ing to do with spring, less with
Brazil, and so much to do with
Berle that its title is much funnier
than any other writing that went
into 1t.
The Messrs. Lee and j. ]. Shu-
bert and Monte Prosser, the night

records to be too canny to have
invested all that money merely to
permit Berle to laugh so hard at
his own jokes. The evidence, how
ever, Is all to the contrary Through
out the performance, Berle virtual
ly kills Berle with his gags and if
he does not like the size of his
laugh the first time, he runs through

Spring in Brazil must have
started out to be something family
resembling a musical. 1t has mu-
sic, even though it is undistin-

has a large cast, the principals of
which have been changing SO fast,
that it leaves the printers dizzy
even though they would have to
congratulate those who escaped. 1t
has Howard Bays sets, and cou-
pie of fugitive dance passages of
modest inspiration. None of these
ever has a chance to assert itself
after the star takes over in the
mad conviction that he is the life
