Letter to Editors

To the Editor. Clitcngo, 111. Dear Sir— For quite some time now. Indiana and Indianapolis have re--1 'rived unfavorable publicity, especially beyond the borders of the stnto. Newspapers and magazines have published derogatory articles reflecting on political conditions, etc. Indianapolis, a city of nearly 400,000 souls, has produced leaders in the world of business and politics. Its literary attainments l ave always been and still are to the fore. If It lias sufI wed lately by the intrusion of political forces of an evil charaeler, there Is plenty of holiest spirit left to clean house. From this city of beautiful homes, surrounded with an atmosphere of tranquility and contentment seldom found in the larger etties, James Whitcomb Riley sent winging his songs of light and cheer to gladden the hearts of a nation (apologies to Meredith Nicholson). The Itiley spirit is the Indianapolis spirit of confidence and hope. The home of our late beloved President, Benjamin Harrison, and Vice-Presidents Charles Warren Fairbanks and Thomas Uiley .Marshall. The ability of Meredith Nicholson, Booth Tarkington and George Ada reflects more clearly the literary talent and appreciation of this community. Being virtually in the center of population of the United Slates, no other city in the country enjoys our peculiar advantages in relation to raw materials, fuel and power resources, labor conditions, manufacturing sites, home markets, religious, educational and transportation facilities. Indianapolis recognizes the fact that all reputable publications are inclined to be fair and that the matters referred to are not printed with malicious intent, even though actual conditions are sometimes thoughtlessly exaggerated. Our people hold no resentment or ill-feeling toward any other community and shall continue to do everything possible to maintain the well-known spirit of hospitality and generous ideals of this Hoosier Aletropolis. Sincerely yours,

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

SAYS JAZZ AGE ROBS BOYS, GIRLS OF YOUTH Advocate of Life Simple Says Sophistication Steals Four Years of Youngsters’ Childhood. NEW YORK, April I.—The jazz age has stolen about four years of childhood from every American girl and boy.

Miss George Ann Lillard, of Chicago. pioneer in the girl camp movement, makes this sad assertion. Miss Lillard knows her girls. She has studied them for years in her summer camp in Hebron, N. If., and is hero now preparing for mother summer out-of-doors. "Ten years ago the girls who could catch the natural, gypsy spirit of camp life and enter into it best were girls from 12 to 16 years old. ’ she raid. “Now it takes much younger girls—tots from S to 10. One camp out of Chicago accepts children from 2 to 6 years. Lowering the Bare “This shortening of childhood's span is a step backward in civilization." is the way Miss Lillard sums up the tendency of the age. ‘ Biologically it lowers the race." She cites the animal kingdom to prove her statement. The length of time from birth to maturity is one sign of a higher form of life. Reptiles and fisli take a short time to mature. Kittens are full grown in a few months. But their lives end in nine years or so. Horses take longer to reach maturity and live often to 30 years. Alan, the highest form of life, enjoys a greater span and needs more childhood to prepare him for it. “This sophisticated age has made little men and women of its children," she asserts. “The clothes of boys and girls are an indication of their thoughts and actions. Long pants like papa’s for the boys. French frocks, hats, even purses just like mama's for the girls. Children are surfeited with life and blase before they are old enough to start to live. Artificial Liv es “At their parties paid entertainers amuse them. Their whole lives are artificial. Formerly little girls who wanted to act ‘grown-up’ would lengthen skirts and put up their hair. Now they rouge and smoke cigarets.” Miss Lillard described some of the innovations in the new models of little 8-year-old girls. She found one child who was making a collection of face creams. A tot of 10 brought to camp at least a dozen bottles of beauty lotions. A newcmer of nine remarked about the lovely time she had on her last day at home —she had had a facial, a shampoo, water wave and a manicure. “Get back to the simple life if you want to cut through the artificiality of the age," is Miss Lillard's advice. "Camp life is natural, simple—the kind of life one cannot lead until he has shed sophistication and artificiality. Therefore camp life promises a remedy for the blase lives of today. “Not camp life just for children.

Adults need it just as much. For their own sakes and also for the sake of their children. Enjoyment of outdoors and appreciation of sunrises, mountains, the ocean give balance to life, as well as food to the soul. The very best way to combat the evils of this age is to become as little children and enter the kingdom of camping. It will put health into bodies and give a sense of proportion to life."
