‘Yes’Answers Girl Who Inquires If Indianapolis Holds Any “Nice Boys ” BY MARTHA LEE ALL of the boys are becoming bad,” says a correspondent. Pleasant thought, that. And yet, the girl writing to me evidently believes that statement. Then further along in the letter she says, “Miss Les, do you believe there are any nice boys in this town?” There are almost 400,000 persons in Indianapolis, and of
this number approximately half are men. That means there are more than 50,000 boys in this city. There is no place in Indianapolis large enough for these boys to gather at one time. And yet my correspondent insists that there are no nice boys in Indianapolis. Surely, a few could be selected from this group, and I trust that all of them are not becoming bad. Nice is not the word to use in describing a man. Nice means particular, discriminating, difficult, exacting, hypercritical, prudish, punctilious, scrupulous or queasy. Using those definitions, I’d say there were no nice men in Indianapolis. But most assuredly all boys are not becoming bad. Just ten years ago or so there were thousands of boys giving their lives to protect women and children. They were not bad in any sense of the word. The next time you are out by Ft. Benjamin Harrison take a look at the Boy Scout camp right across the road. There hundreds of boys, youths rather, learn the fundamentals of manhod and citizenship. In any university in this state, any boy from at least 90 per cent of the male student population can be selected as an example of manhood. The next time you see a man from Notre Dame, or Butler, or Wabash, or Purdue or Indiana or De Pauw, tell him you believe most of the boys at his school are bad. Tell him that. But be sure you have your track shoes handy. Factory workers as a class cannot be called “bad.” Surely there are some who do the wrong thing at the right time, but do you not find that such is the case in any class of people? And in passing we mention a boy we have heard something about? I believe his name is Charles Augustus Lindbergh.
Dear Martha Lee: I would like to have vou explain to me why all the boys are becoming bad. At one time I went with a boy who was ve i- y nice, but he now has started drinking and smoking all the time. He was such a nice fellow until he started drinking. Miss Lee, do you think there are any nice boys in this town? I read your articles in The Times every night. WONDERING JUNE If I objected to drinking and smoking, and a boy I knew contracted those habits, then I would cut him cold. There is no reason in the world why a girl should have dates with a boy she doesn’t like or whose habits she doesn’t like. There are thousands of boys in this city that any girl would be glad to have for friends. Drop the ones you don't like and find some you do like. If this boy thinks I’m getting old, he is mistaken. My first name is Martha and not Auntie. But I like his letter just the same. Dear Auntie Lee: Here is a note of encouragement to "Two Pals” and the other nice girls who refuse to cheapen themselves by trading their ideals for popularity. I am not one of the nice boys referred td. but I resoect any girl who respects herself. I would do anything for a girl who really is nice, just because she is that way. , , . My own home was broken up when I was just a little lad, and my mother left me with a distrust of women that has persisted ever since. There are girls who are frankly bad. I respect their honesty and pity their mistake. There are girls who really are good, but who pretend to be wild. I dispise them for their duplicity. And there are girls who are good and pretend to be nothing else. I honor them. We men mostly are a rotten lot. I’m sory to say ; even my best friends sometimes disgust me. I’ve been thinking that if more girls were like "Two Pals” this “wild” business would become unpopular. TOMMY Now, didn’t you like his letter, too?
I have another letter from “Espanol” but we haven’t enough space available to include it. Thanks, just the same, ‘Espanol.” Dear Martha Lee: I have been wanting a long time to hear what others think of this problem. Miss Lee, don't you believe it’s nearly as important for a man to be pure as it is for a woman? I’m engaged to the most wonderful man in the world, and I can’t tell you how glad it makes me feel to know that he isn't “second hand.” Most men like to run around and be wild. Then they brag about it. But they want the girl they marry to be just as Dure as can be. Don’t they believe that a girl thinks of that too? They believe that a girl is good because she is afraid of the gossiping Grundies. That is where they wrong the girls. Most girls are nice because their conscience tells them to be and because they want to be for the "one man." Why aren’t fellows this way? Have they no pride nor conscience or what is lackBEWILDERED I believe you are fooling yourself, but at the same time I’d like to hear what other readers have to say about the question. At one time we had a double standard of morals, one for men and one for women. Men weer allowed to “sow their wild oats’’ and no one looked down on them for it. But women were supposed to sit by the fire and wait until man was through “sowing” and then make a good home for him. The war did more to destroy the double standard than anything else. Men and women fought and worked side by side. Then came universal suffrage. That did much to break down the double standard of conduct. There is not doubt in my mind that the double standard of morals is crumbling, and some say that today there is a single standard of morals and conduct for both men and women. At least, there is doubt in the minds of the people that a double standard exists or there would not be letters like yours. The subject is deep, and one that cannot be treated lightly. I would like very much to have the readers of this column seriously consider the question and send me a letter. Just address it to Martha Lee at The Indianapolis Times. All letters will be published. Dear Martha Lee: Do you believe a girl and fellow can quarrel and disagree and really love each other? The fellow with whom I am in love believes everything I like or do is silly. He isn’t Interested in anything worthy. H quarrels: he doesn’t want to dance. I don’t know why I should love such a man, but I do. Shall I marry him or quit him? Do you believe I will regret it if I quit him and tried to forget? CORINE No, in answer to your first ques-
tion. Don’t marry him; in answer to your second question, and, yes, in answer to your third question. If a man and woman quarrel all the time, they certainly don’t love each other. Love creates a desire to save the loved one from injury, both physical and mental. Love creates an agreeable disposition and not a quarrelsome one. I wouldn't marry that man under any circumstances. Marriage is not magic that changes everything. The minister numbles a few words over your head, and that is all. The man you marry will be just the same as he was before the ceremony. But if you don’t marry him you will regret that you didn’t. Women are that way. “I’m sure I could save John from himself if only he had me for a wife,” says a woman. And she believes that she could change him. But she can’t. Men are that way. Put your regrets in moth balls along with your winter coat, and look for another man who doesn’t carry a chip on his shoulder. Really my dear, you will be much happier with a pleasant husband.
Memorial Tree Planting to Be Held Saturday The annual memorial tree planting of the Marion County W. C. T. U., Saturday afternoon in Brookside Park will be preceded by a parade through the downtown district of floats representing W. C. T. U. departments.

Family Menus
BY SISTER MARY BREAKFAST California cherries, cereal, cream, baked omelet, crisp rye toast, rhubarb conserve, milk, coffee. LUNCHEON—Cream of celery soup, toasted crackers, veal and carrot salad, whole wheat bread, rice and pineapple pudding, milk, tea. / DINNER Noodle soup, twice baked potatoes, hard cooked eggs stuffed with spinach, buttered new beets, head lettuce with Roquefort cheese dressing, maple custard, nut cookies, milk, coffee. This vegetable plate dinner is planned with contrasting colors as well as flavors and textures of vegetables. These three factors should be kept in mind when making up a vegetable plate. A custard or souffle is always a happy choice for the dessert of a vegetable dinner since protein is otherwise lacking. Rhubarb Conserve Six cups diced rhubarb, three oranges, one lemon, one cup seeded raisins, six cups sugar, one cup broken walnut meats. Squeeze juice from oranges and lemon. Cut rinds in shreds and cover with cold water. Bring to the boiling point and simmer until almost tender. Add diced rhubarb and cook until tender. Add sugar and raisins and cook until mixture thickens when a spoonful is tested on a cold saucer. Add nuts if wanted and cook five minutes longer. Turn into sterilized jelly glasses and cover with parafine when cold. This makes a good accompaniment for cold sliced ham or chicken.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ u m n THEIR LETTERS
Darling Mom: I’m still too much provoked with Alan to let him read your letter, because even if you can find excuses for his conduct I’m not so ready to forgive him. If he thinks he can get into the habit of letting his business come before consideration for me and get away with it I don’t see what I can expect in the future. Anyway, he’s always telling me that you think as much of him as you do of me, so whenever you take his part it just makes it that much harder for me to handle him. It would spoil him utterly to read all the nice things you say about him. So he doesn’t get to see your last letter. You certainly are a wonderful mother-in-law. Alan thinks the I world of you. I wish you’d scold I him once in a while, for a change; j for if he isn’t to take too seriously! that part of the wedding ceremony I that made him promise. to cherish me, then he ought to forget about the "obey” part, too. Alan absolutely forbade—can you grasp it?—absolutely forbade me to come down to the office. He said I treated his stenographer as though she were poison ivy when she was here at the apartment. Os course I didn’t do anything of the kind, but what did he want me to do? Serve her tea and ask her to stay to dinner? I would have liked to ask her where she got the permanent wave but I wouldn’t give her that much satisfaction. For if she couldn’t see that Alan and I were having a slight difference of opinion for the moment she must be dumber than she looks. And I dare say she guessed what caused it. I didn’t say a word, but when Alan said, “Oh, that’s much too heavy for you, Miss Peters,” I must have made some kind of funny sound because both she and Alan turned and looked at me. Well, of course, I don't care whether I go to his office or not and I’ve got a lot of things to do but now I’ll have to take time off and go. Who would let a husband get away with that forbid stuff? So if you want to advise somebody who could use a little advice, write to Alan. Fondest love, MARYE. -

Happiness Chief Need of Children BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON I am moved to ecstatic tears over the short, sensible article of Mrs. Thusnelda Crane about her unusual daughter, Nathalia. child poetess of 14, who is being much discussed. She corroborates what I have preached for years, namely, that the chief thing in bringing up chi’ • dren is to make them happy. No child can grow properly unless he is happy, no child can develop mentally %iless he is happy. Unless he is happy he cannot develop personality, individuality, or efficiency. Happiness does not depend on riches. It does not follow that a child need go to the movies five nights a week, live on ice cream sodas, have fine clothes and a pocketful of spending money. But most unhappiness in children is not caused by lack of these thigs as much as by overdisciplining. Asa rule children are either over-disciplined or under-discip-lined, and as a result of the latter, scolded to death. Scolding and whipping are not discipline. A few rules, a little sensible explanation as to why these ru’rs must be obeyed, and then frecr’o- '! As little coercion as possible, mr? cooperation between parents and and understanding, fresh air, good food! All the "psychological programs” in the world, as Mrs. Crane calls them, cannot come up to this. It is so simple. It is so easy. Why cannot parents see that overdiscipline is worse than no disci oline. Obedience will be natural for a child who feels that he is being treated justly. Isn’t the “revolt” of young people nowadays due to ignorance on the part of parents? Nurses Sell Tickets The alumnae of Sigma Theta Tau, nurses sorority, at the Indiana University hospitals, are selling tickets for the Stuart Walker performance of “Saturday’s Children’’ next Wednesday at Keith's theater. Proceeds will be used for the library in the nurses’ new home.
