That the fights Tuesday night
will break all fight records for a

That the City's failure to provide
swimming pools in public and in

why 45 per cent of the enlisted men
being sent overseas can't swim.
That is what the fighting men in

next heavyweight champion Is
more likely to be a lad who has
never seen service than a veteran.
The best opinion now being that
soldering takes so much out of a
fighter he isn't much good after he
has returned to civil life. like
Tunney after the last war?)

all LA performers are in the

That you can double your price

have yours already E. Betcha the

take a 4-year course, and am
thinking of leaving home and tax
ing a war job and I want your
advice.
Ans: Communications between
you and your husband are such that
you could discuss this problem with
him. If you did SO it would make
him appreciate you for respecting
his opinion and abiding by it. You
are very wise to want to earn some
money during your husbands alb
sence, as it will help him greatly to
establish himself again in civilian
life, if you have a nice "nest egg"
when he returns. But more i'm
pOrtant than money is for him to
retain his confidence and trust in
you. A drastic change while he is
away may have tendency to upset
him, unless you discuss it with him
beforehand.

II. j.: ms IS what l would like
to know why l am so unhappy?
Is it that I am so disagreeable or
what is the matter in this home. l
don't feel like l have a home. Why
did my son take the notion to get
married, knowing my condition as
he does and will I ever get able to
be around like I use to?
Ans: Your son taking a wife may
be the means of your house becom-
ing a real home. Your son isn't
happy and neither are you under
present conditions and you should
welcome a change. Before this
change can take place you will have
to assure your son of your approval
of his marriage. Then you must
make his wife aware of the fact
that you aren't losing a son, but
gaining a daughter, for which you
are very proud. You must realize
that a young married couple wants
and should have, their privacy, and
some time to themselves, and if you
will see that they get it, both of
them will show you more attention
and the three of you find more
happiness.
