One is a problem child. His life seems to center around one word, WHY. I answer as many questions as I can during the day and my husband, poor man, has to take up the task in the evenings. It really does seem there should be some way of keeping that child's mind from diving into everything concerning everybody. We really don't want him to be a pest. Some help, please. And pronto, please." You belong to a large class, lady, that class of parents who feel they should be able to peg the minds of children at a comfortable place, for the elders, just as the foreign dictators wish to peg the minds of the masses at a place that tyrants find agreeable. If you'll look at Europe you will see the value of the theory. In Germany, a country of some 70,000,000, one man does all the thinking (if any), all the deciding. Dissenters are shot, flogged to death or perish by slow torture in concentration camps that are worse than anything that ever before disgraced the world. In Italy one inflated bully thinks for Italians. Don't you hear it on the radio: "Only mussolini will decide. When he says war the Italians will follow." it is grotesque and here is how it was done: Nobody was allowed to ask why. Mussolini, an obscure peasant, beat, shot, stabbed, stamped and murdered his way to power. Shoving back a dessicated old king, he invoked the aid of American gangsters who had run from Italy when it got too hot for them. But Mussolini was a spirit. He and they and be cooperated beautifully. They were assimated and they were rounded up and shot sacres that made St. mew's evening look like brawl.

Now that he is won't return the money first wife should get would that clear him of bigamy? A.-It most certainly He committed bigamy married you, already living wife. Besides, seem to be worth while anyway. Do you want supporting him for life. NOTE TO P. E. J. "mild astringent" is not at all. The alumn pass your skin no harm, ever break out.

The Land Of The Free" CONGRESS, July 4, 1776 Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, in the honor of human event of benevolence for one people to defile the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to undermine fiction to which the laws of nature and of nature God entitle them, a dams respect to the opinions of mankind regimes that they can alter, abolish, and the purpose of shipping — That to govern their rights, governments are instituted among others, drawing their justness any show of government becomes distortion of their words, it is the sight of the People to act or to abolish, and to institute new laws in such form, as to themselves all repugnance both future, that mankind are more despondent to suffer, while the same cannot be accomplished; and accordingly all repugnance both future, that mankind are more despondent to suffer, while the same cannot be accomplished. One whose long term of abuse and inflictions, forming invasively the same Object, has endured the present thing of freedom, and has been deprived of its powers in such form, as to themselves all repugnance both future, that mankind are more despondent to suffer, while the same cannot be accomplished; He has sustained our fellow fellows taken captives on the high cloak to bear Arms against us and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has escaped domestic interceptions arranged us, and has endeavored to bring on the charges, whose known risk of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all age fears and conditions. In many flags of these Opinionals we have reported settlers have been ensured by repeated repugnance. Where character is thus marked by every act which may define a Spartan, we have been writing in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislatures to act on an unwarranted concomitance of our immigration and settlement here. We have appealed forth native justice and magmarity, and we have corroborated them Vacation Period Adds to Hazards With city streets, mountain retreats and sea shore resorts filled with children on school vacation, there is need for greater than usual driving care on the part of motorists, according to Chief E. Raymond Cato, of the California highway patrol.

He and they and big money cooperated beautifully. Rivals were assimilated and the Masons were rounded up and shot in massacres that made St. Batholomew's evening look like a street brawl. And then Mussolini took over the education of the youth with the order "Believe, obey, fight," no more. Questions were out in Italy, in Germany, in Russia. Be ignorant and live, inform yourself and die. Do we want that here? If not, encourage children to ask you, to understand, to fight for their souls alive. Q.—I have been married for more than a year to a man who was never divorced from his first wife. I supported him all that year and made payments on his car. Now that he is working he won't return the money. If this first wife should get a divorce, would that clear him of the charge of bigamy? A.—It most certainly would not. He committed bigamy when he married you, already having a living wife. Besides, it doesn't seem to be worth while marrying anyway. Do you want the job of supporting him for life? NOTE TO P. E. J.—Lady, a "mild astringent" is no astringent at all. The alumn paste is doing your skin no harm, even if it does break out. If you had deep massage the same thing would happen, because the skin has to clear itself of impurities before it finally becomes smooth. With city streets, mountain retreats and sea shore resorts filled with children on school vacation, there is need for greater than usual driving care on the part of motorists, according to Chief E. Raymond Cato, of the California highway patrol. "During the school term children are accustomed to playing in protected play areas," Chief Cato said. Motorists should remember this and parents should warn their children regarding increased dangers outside regular play areas. "Children on bicycles, playing baseball, riding on roller skates, wagons, scooters and other devices present a serious problem. During vacation periods they are inclined to be careless of their own safety and it is necessary that motorists use caution at all times." Chief Cato also cautioned parents about driving habits of minors. During 1939, he stated, 279 persons between the ages of 10 and 10 were killed in California motor vehicle accidents, while 8,366 others in the same ago classification were injured. Convoy for Vessels Declared Necessary As a safety measure for small boats, kayaks and swimmers, Newport Harbor Yacht club officials have requested the harbor department to convoy all large vessels through the harbor. Officers of the club have taken cognizance of the fact that many vessels, particularly those of visitors, have had difficulty in avoiding accidents with smaller boats in the harbor and believe this to be the solution to the problem.
