cause domestic workers generally are
unable to bear the cost of accidents
and illness.
We will look forward with great in
terest to obtain a complete report on
this important survey and will look
hopefully for the fulfllment Of its
provisions. Especially is this true in
view of the fact that the occupation
of service workers continues to be the
largest single employment field for
Negro women. Another important fact
to consider is that considerable prob
lens have been noted and manifested
by large numbers Of Negro household
workers; and, there has been griev-
ances on the part of household en-
ployers. Perhaps the innovation of
these proposals will clarity misunder-
standings and make the. occupation
more agreeable for both employee and
employer.
The results of this study will IN
doubtedly be good news to 500 Negro
women and nearly 1000 white women
in Omaha, who are in the occupational
field Of household workers.

The idea seems to change household
work from its strictly mental category
to an o%ccupational level Of other bet
ter type service occupations. Many
women who went to war industries
who had previously done domestic
work and are experienced have not re-
covered from sudden Prosperity of
those booming days sufficiently to re-
enter service work. Perhaps their re-
luctanoe will not be SO great when
household work changes into the new
era.
The project committees proposed at

cases eight. Special holidays men

problems. 1 find it necessary to call
on you with mine. I am 10, have 2
children, a girl Is months and a
boy 2 months. The boys father
has taken care of us for the past
year and he wants very much to
marry me and be a father to these
children. We love each other. Here
j the drawback. He has a widowed
mother to support and I don't want
him to mistreat her for us. His
mother is fond of us and thinks il
will be all right. What should I do
Ans: Marry the man. Your child
e need a father and you need a
husband. It isn't necessary that
you inconvenience his mother at
all by joining him in marriage. You
understand his position and should
insist that he continue to provide
for her. His mother realizes his
love for you and knows he will
never be happy without you. She
is. perfectly willing to share her
home with you as her sons wife.

Ans: Choose a likely sight for
your tea room and go back in bus

where the life of leisure you are
