Artman, chairman of the industrial board or Indiana. Advise Idhcrality Tn another resolution the federation decided that the employers in Indiana be advised through a circular letter and personal interviews that it w;ts to their own interests to be liberal in the granting of leaves of absence so that their employees might attend such gatherings, and asking for the strength to withstand all insidious attacks against their right to contract, wherein the police powers of the State may be invoked to the detriment of the economic advancement of women workers. Members of the Franklin Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs and Chamber of Commerce were special guests at the dinner given last night.

in-laws are at it again. It J. seems as if they simply can not, or will not, realize that one manager is enough for one home. Every young couple should have a home separate from in-laws, if possible. Then the danger of friction is reduced to the minimum. And in-laws should remember that the wife has first claim on her husband. Sister Interferes Dear Miss L'e: I am 24 and hare b°en married four years My husband is UO, We have heen living with his sister since our marriage. Tor one year we gut along fine. But for the lat three y>..ars we do not agrot. His sister seems to think she lias a- much righe to boss my things as 1 have, because her brother bought them. Many times I leave the room because they siy so many things to hurt my feelings. I want to get a house and go to housekeeping. But my husband dues no* want to He says I am just tired of living with him. I love my husband and he is very nice to me. I help him pay bills. He works everyday, including Sunday, so I work two jr three days a week. Please tell me what to do. M. I. T. If you were tired of your husband, you would not want to go to housekeeping alone, so you would see more of him. Tell him that. If you pay part of the bills, you have a right to expect him to respect your wishes. Try' to show him how much happier he could make you by letting you have your own home. You could visit his sister frequently, but there would be no friction. If your arguments fail; stop paying attention to your sister’s slurs, be pleasant to her, and keep your own things locked up, if necessary. An Old Story Pear Mi's I.'“: I am 22 and have been married fear years. My wife and I were getting along fine. But ever since my mother came to live with us. our life has hrtn very unhappy. We have a boy 2-yrar-old. My wifi *-:ivs either my mother gets out or sh-* will leave. Is It right to put my mother in a good home and lie h ippy with my wife and baby My mother is aione m the world. I love them both. ANXIOUS FATHER I wonder which is at fault, your wife or your mother. Although it might be argues! that your duty is to your mother before your wife, your son cannot be put into second place. You should not let your wife and child go. Unless there is no other way to fix matters, put your mother in a good boarding house near you. Try to make her see that that is the best tiling for all of you. and that she can visit you every day. You may be able to settle matters without doing that. Perhaps you can get your wife and mother not to in terfere with each other’s business. Try, anyway. D. A. D.: Apparently you have written to me before. Please write again, repeating your whole story. Contentment Lacking Dear Miss Lee: I am 21 and married My husband gives me all the luxuries I want. Still t am not satisfied. I really lov.him. and also love another. I married mostly for spite. The other fellow also is mar Tied. We have no children and are in business Should I run oft to the other fellow, or what? I have a sport car, but want, an electric. INDEPENDENCE Evidently you are the “gimme” kind of wife. No matter whether it is anew car or an old sweetheart.

Gone for Good “The sensationally modern young woman who flashed before our vision during the war—the product of freedom, reaction and fatalism—has softened a trifle, and will develop into a more normal, healthy personality. “But we never shall have a return to the pre-war type.” When I asked her what she considers the most dangerous phase of our 1323 civilization. Miss Crothers answered: “Physical freedom, modern dress, dancing, lack of chaperons, the general letting down of conventions and standards. “But what grown people won’t understand is that, while their juniors of today haven’t their parents’ standards, they have their ovv n. Their Own Standards “The up-to-date young man demands from a girl different qualifications from those his father sought, and women naturally are what men make them.

Above-Board Circulation O PROGRESSIVE publications belonging to the Audit * Bureau of Circulations have adopted an open and “Above-Board” circulation policy. They lay before advertisers circulation facts that have been verified by experienced auditors. Advertisers, before the : dveni of the A. B. C., were forced to depend upon hearsay circulation information and unverified “sworn statements' 5 of circulation. No detailed figures were available and no verification was possible except at great expense to the advertiser. Nowadays advertisers lock to the A. B. C. for dependable, unbiased circulation information and select their advertising mediums accordingly. Today 91% of tke circulation of papers having over five thousand circulation is audited by the A. B. C. It should not be long before every newspaper goes on record with A. B. C . membership . This will make it possible for every advertiser to use detailed circulation facts, covering the entire newspaper field. This will permit a fair comparison and eliminate guesswork from the purchase of space. The Indianapolis Times is a member of the A.

Curtain Rods To run a rod through the hem of a curtain place a thimble over the

end of the rod and it will slip through easily. Bran as Cleaner Warm bran will clean tapestry-cov-ered furniture. Apply it thickly on a piece of flannel and brush off with a clean brush. This will also clean brocade.
