WOMEN HAVE GREAT
STRENGTH

"We've still got the tremendous
lob of getting Negro women to
realize their own strength and ap-
plying it, she commented. Last
year she took one precious occa-
sion to speak sharply on this sub
iect in imploring the women to
give greater support to the work
Of the council. She hopes now that
they will realize the value of the
organization and will come for
ward with their aid.
The biennial election Of officers
was scheduled for Tuesday, and
meetings of the executive commit
tee and the board of trustees were
to precede the formal opening on
that same day. ReviSionS in the

"Our skirts are not always clean

The word action" not "study"
was emphasized because 1--WE have

AKA article. They were an action

Dear Amelia,

Dear Amelia,
I find my wife a changed woman
she is so unlike the person that I
left. She has little patience, she has
grown careless and she is quite dis
agreeable. She even has no patience
with the children and I think that
they are under pretty good control.
I try to be very nice to her she
doesn't seem to change at all
Could you suggest anything?
Puzzled Husband
Dear Puzzled Husband,
1t could be that the strain
of having to carry on with

tentiOn. Suppose YOU take her to a
physician for a check-up Civilians
have undergone mental strains too,

health. Perhaps she needs a rest,
perhaps couple Of weeks from

Dear Amelia:
I am very worried about my son
who has been discharged from the
army. He is very moody and spends
most of the day around the house
seemingly in deep study He
doesn't seem to want to engage in
conversation at all Of course all
of the old friends and neighpors
want him to come around to see
them. He simply destests seeing
these old acquaintanceS and refuses
to even come out to greet them.
It makes me feel terrible for they
think that he just doesn't want
to see them. Is here anything that
I could dc to help alter his attitude
toward people?
Interested Mother
Dear Interested Mother,
The best way to deal with return
! ing service men is to let them be
themselves: they detest fuss and
bother. All of the men are suffering
with some sort of nervous distur
bance and they want to be alone
Then too most of them want to blot
out that whole chapter of their
lives, SO it is not wise to let the
neighbOrS be called in to pet n first
hand review of the war They were
with it enough and they want to
get away from it all. Let them meet
old friends and neighbors at their
own suggestion: don't prompv them
Mos of the fellows critic the in
auisitive public and they all trv to
shun it as. much sa possible A little
quiet and rest will serve as the
best kind of tonic.
