sweet, what shall I do? I am
true to this man and l don't have
other ~boyfriends as he gives me
anything 1 want.
,A.ns: It's new, exciting and
gIamourous to be courted by q
mature gentleman who knows all
the social graces and has the
means to shower you with gifts
Nevertheless. don't you forget
that there is practically 80 years
difference in your ages and this
alone will u your love to grow
cool in a very short while. The
older man pleases your vanity
temporarily. but he will never be
able to satisfy your desire for ga
ETY., good times and the usual
pleasures that young people your
age enjoy.
B. E. Pr have been keeping
company with a very nice young
man but spoiled. At present we
don't agree. Although he says he
loves me and I know I love him.
Yes, 1 am married, and my hus-
band says that it is he that / love.
He is also nice to me. Please ad-
wise me what to do?
Ans: Grow up. you were sup
posed to have given up romano
ing with other fellows when you
married your husband. Whether
you realize it or not, your husband
is being pretty swell to be as len
lent with your goings-on as he is
and you had better get your head
level and appreciate the chance
he is offering you. Give up the
other man.

LIFE
at Glance
BY DAVID BETHE

HISTORY IN THE MAKING. i.
The first Congressional hearing in
the south since the days of the
reconstruction has just ended. the
subject was whether Senator Bill
DO has abused his right to hold
his seat in the Senate because he
denied Negroes the right to vote
in his lily white State of Mississ-
ippi. and brother was the hearing
short. Maybe they were afraid
somebody might start some fill
clustering.
The Republicans believe the ev-
idence against Bilbo COh. what
the h....) Let's say the State Of
Mississippi. Well anyway. TIL e
good Republicans believe the in
timidation against Negroes is a
serious charge and should war
rant an outright condemnation of
Bilbo or shall we say, Mississippi ?
But that is only in the State
Of Mississippi. May be all right
that we get together and decide
whether to wine out discrimina-
ton in Mississippi while it con-
tinues Justify in the rest Of the
South. or whether it wouldn't be
A bright idea To Just get out and
start slashing 1t everywhere.
Oh, bv the way. cousin. BERTHE
Mccormick popped up with a good
remedy for all the disfranchisers
and discriminators in a stirring
editorial in his all powerful mid
western CHICAGO Tribune Wednes-
day two weeks ago. He saws the
second edition section of the 14th
Amendment states in affect. that
any State which denies Negroes
the right to vote shall have its
representation reduced in Con-
gress. That il. this representa-
ton shall be reduced in norpor-
ton to the number of people over
81 suffering the discrimination.
He saws this section Of the Am
endment has never been inforced.
and if the Bilbo hearing discloses
that Negroes in Mississippi has
been disfranchised. and his right
to vote has been ingringed upon.
then M~ississippi's representation
in the House should be cut from
nine to four or five. Boy if that
should happen, there wouldn't be
50 many blatherskites and scoun- /
elected from way down in
he South. Iva bright idea cousin !

ever, these three types we're the only greases in

type to combat the conditions under which your
equipment worked. This was satisfactory in most
cases. But some equipment-such as mining ma

Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT

Every farm family needs to
have:
disqualification insurance.
Good reading material for the
entire family.
Electricity, running water, and
a telephone if at all possible.
A washing machine, substantial
clothes line, and good laundry
equipment.
Comfortable chairs and beds
for all members of the family.
Tables and reading lamps.
Convenient kitchen arrange
ment for more efficient work.
Adequate storage space for
clothes and bedding.
Patience and cooperative splr-
it among family members.
By all means use a water
softener on wash day if the wa
ter is hard. The success or fail
ure of laundering is largely gov
erned by the quality of the water
used.
What effect has water hardness
on clothes? Wash-day grayness
may result. More soap is re-
quired, also. Soften hard water
before soap is added, thereby
preventing the formation of
lime soap curds, which are in
soluble.
How may water be softened?
There are many good, inexpen-
sive packaged water softening
compounds on the market. Two
types are generally available
those that cause cloudiness and
precipitate in the water and those
