/Truth and Frankness Urged as Basis for All Training of Child Today BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON PROBABLY nothing is more characteristic of the courage and intelligence of American parents than the efforts they are making to enlighten themselves on the subject of child training. Not only do they consider the mental and moral upbringing of their children nowadays as important as physical welfare, but they have come to realize that the old way of prepar-

ing a child for a sheltered life in a sheltered world is of no more use nowadays than an umbrella in a typhoon. Parents are apt to blame themselves, and other people have been quick to criticise them, for a lack of discipline that has resulted in what we call “the terrible younger generation.” I believe that parents are entitled to sympathy instead of censure in these rather chaotic times. All transition stages from the old to the new are chaotic. Forewarned is forearmed, and how were parents to know that times were going, to change practically overnight? For times did change suddenly, with the advent of quick travel and instantaneous thought —a rennaissance more tremendous and farreaching than that which occurred in Europe in the fifteenth century. Events that took fifty years to happen then are history now in a week. Change in Thought But not only the tempo of the times has quickened; it takes no astrologer to tell us that the new era is not only one of material and physical changes, but that the greatest change of all has been in thought attitude toward world-old institutions. This new freedom suddenly let loose upon the world has, for one generation at least, been dangerously near its undoing. Trained for the cloistered shelter of a more or less artificial life, young people suddenly found the walls down. Some have lost their heads and paid dearly in the school of experience. But these very children will make the best parents in the end, because they will know what their children are up against. They will give them a better defense than the old-fashioned precepts handed down from a placid past. Today More Honest Era Cnildren today are facing a rather unsentimental, matter-of-fact, but more honest age. Things are being dragged out into the open, and indeed it is the children themselves, largely, who are doing it. Greater than ever will be their need for straight, clear thinking, unbiased by prejudice, and unwarped by complexes of mind and character. The child of the future must be free from the hindrance and unhappiness of inhibitions. He must be free from his own bigotry. He must be able to select the right values of living and conduct and base his standards on what he believes to be right, rather than upon what people will think or say, or upon unreasonable custom. With the world wide open, he must be his own defense. He will have no use for the eleventh commandment, “Thou must not be found out.” Truth and frankness! That should be the basis of all child training. But we must go back further than that. It won’t do to wait until a child is 10, or even 6, and then say, “We now must begin to think of John’s character.” Child training begins at birth, or as soon as instinct develops into mental initiative and sense reaction. And strangely enough it does not begin with habit training, although habit training is considered the first step in character training. It begins with health. Busy Social Calendar An active social program is scheduled for the Meshingomesia Country Club, Marion, for the week. Sunday evening dinner was served at the club with Mrs. Fred Trueblood, chairman, and on Tuesday dinner and bridge will be given, in charge of Mrs. Robert Kiley. Mrs. Paul Johnson is in charge of bridge luncheon for Thursday. Winkler Reunion The Winkler family reunion will be held Aug. 12 at Garfield Park. Basket dinner will be served at noon followed by a program. Len Winkler, Rushville, is president; George L. Winkler, Indianapolis, vice president, and Bert Winkler, Kokomo, secretary. Wed in Illinois Mr. and Mrs. Ward Keller, 2442 N. Delaware St., announce the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to Dr. John H. Oldham, Sullivan, which took place July 15 in Robinson, 111. Dr. and Mrs. Oldham will live in Sullivan.

Woman s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER Once more some college boys submit in writing a list of what they consider prime requisites in a wife. And once again the demand that she be a "good housekeeper” leads all the rest, far outstripping such things as “beauty,” “virtue,” and “good temper.” And, as usual one knows that the college boys are fibbing. Rationally they may admit with their common sense that a girl, who is “a good housekeeper” makes the best wife. But just try matching a girl who Is known to be a peerless housekeeper, but is piain of looks, against a girl who boasts that she can’t “boil an egg,” but who is beautiful, with that irresistible “It” about her. No one male will angle for the first damsel. There’ll be a dozen after the last one mentioned, a * a Pants Pocket Problem Can a wife be arrested for 1 urging her husband's name to his pay check? It seems that she can be, for Mrs. Bessie Ireland of New York, vent to jail on a forgery charge. She quarreled with her husband and left home with his $25 pay check to which she signed his name. Her action sounds reasonable. If “the two are made one,” if what’s his is hers, acceding to law, and if she is entitled to his support, why can’t she sign his pay checks? But what a great national to-do there would be if she could! u n a Maybe Not So Much The persons who danced over 481 hours in New York’s recent record-breaking marathon received less than $1 an hour for their efforts. Perhaps some of those girls and boys found their hours of dancing much less fatiguing than hours spent in the commercial world It is significant that practcially every one of the marathoners was evidently attempting to escape the drabness of his or her usual lot by hoping to win the marathon. The same type of person was typical of Pyle’s “Bunion Derby” too. One must doff bonnets to the will to escape, even if the way seems a foolish one. Original Accessories Some original accessories which give individuality to a home are: A Chinese mandarin coat hung on a wall over a mantelpiece; a Coromandel screen; a lacquer humidor; service plates of pewter; a Lazy Susan, of the type that stands on the floor, in the dining room; a Cape Cod fire-lighter; in Italian settings, a demi-john on a window ledge or a mock orange tree, even if artificial. Entertain at Cards St. Bridget’s Social Club will entertain with a bunco and lotto party Wednesday at 2:30 and 8 p. m. Hostesses will be Mesdames Peter Costello, John Mayo and William Schefferdecker. Will Hold Initiation An initiation of the prospective pledges of Phi Delta Chi will be held at the monthly social meeting of the sorority this evening at the Spink Arms. Short-Gruner Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Short, 1365 N. Dearborn St., announce the engagement of their daughter, Mildred, to Edward Gruner, the wedding to take place Aug. 2. Wed Thursday Miss Bessie Martz and Leo Teepie, both of Decatur, will be married Thursday.

Speakers on League Aims Obtainable Speakers on every phase of the program of the League of Women Voters have been developed in the Indiana League during the past few years. Asa part of its service to local leagues throughout Indiana the State organization has developed a speakers’ bureau, and lists of available speakers have been sent to each local organization. Since the efficiency in government program is the one on which the Indiana league has concentrated during the last year, more speakers on that subject have been developed than on any other program. Mrs. H. R. Misner, Michigan City; Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, Mrs. Ralph E. Carter, Mrs. George C Finfrock, all of Indianapolis; Mrs. T. J. Louden, Bloomington; Mrs. Lula S. Halverson, Evansville, and Miss Florence Kirlm. Indianapolis, are all available for talks on permanent registration. the direct primary, or on city manager government. Offer Variety of Topics Other speakers are Mrs. Edna M. Christian, Indianapolis, women in industry; Miss Mary Lane, Indianapolis, child welfare, particularly juvenile probation; Mrs. William S. Ehrich, Evansville, international cooperation to prevent war, particularly the multilateral treaty; Mrs. S. E. Webster, South Bend, Federal aid and phrases of education; Mrs. Helene A Guy, Remington, legal status of women, and Mrs. Frank Hatch Streightoff, Indianapolis, equalization of educational opportunity. In addition to speakers from the Indiana league, national league officers from neighboring States and members of the Illinois and Ohio Leagues of Women Voters will be available at different times of the year for talks on various phases of the program of the League of Women Voters. National League Objective Getting cut the vote, and aiding in the intelligent functioning of the electorate will be the national league’s part in the 1928 presidential campaign. There will be no partisan flavor in the league’s campaign activities, officers say. In getting out the vote, the league will extend and intensify Its day-by-day work of education as a preparation for intelligent voting. The league will support no candidate. It will oppose no candidate. It is ready, however, to aid the voter through its many channels of concise, factual information on all pre-election voting questions. These features, reaffirming the traditional policies of the league, were outlined today by Miss Belle Sherwin, league president. Wherever the league is organized voters will not only be urged to cast their ballot, but will be offered information on the mechanics of voting, and on the election law governing each locality.

Fall Silhouette for 1928 to Be Like Last Year Jean Charles V/orth, famous couturier, today forecast trends in the fall mode, predicting a practically unchanged silhouette, long in the evening, short in the day; much use of printed velvets and printed silks, a revival of the heavy rich velvets of the nineties; contrast of filmy and rich materials; flat, dark furs for trimming and coats; a vogue for purple, and much use of jewelled ornaments with rubies leading. M. Worth says: “I believe that there will be little change in the silhouette this fall. We shall continue to have straight frocks for sport and street, with perhaps a few godets and pleats to give an interesting fullness to some costumes. Afternoon ensembles will continue along their present lines, while the evening mode will not see many changes in line. “Women have adopted with enthusiasm the evening frock much longer in back than front, and the front will still be short this winter to give emphasis to the longer line in back. Street clothes will be short with plenty of room at he hem to secure a graceful line when the wearer is seated and when walking. Street clothes will not be lengthened because women seem to prefer the short coat and so long as they do dresses will also remain short. Long coats may come later, but certainly not for another season or so.” Sets Wedding Date The marriage of Miss Mildred Edith Robbins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Collins, New Ross, and Harry August Cederholm, 4144 Graceland Ave., will take place Aug. 9.

Elders Criticize Modem Youth, But Do Nothing Toward Its Salvation BY MARTHA LEE NOTHING was ever done toward the salvation (if there is a question of salvation) of any “younger generation” by older folk who prated of how things were when they were young. For youth, love and the increasing search for happiness are not original with any generation, nor are the dangers of wrong pathways to these goals new. The ways of love today are„the ways of yesterday. The

differences, if any, are in the ways of arriving at these goals. There are so many things that have led to these changes. The status of women in the political and buisness world has changed so radically within the last fifteen years. Women have gained a freedom and independence hitherto unknown in the history of the world. And if it has gone to any of their heads, it is more apt than not to have gone to the heads of the “in between” generation, the generation that is neither new nor Victorian, but helplessly between the two. The real younger generation, as a whole, has learned to be frank and truthful and rather more brave than its predecessors about things pertaining to the pathways* to love and happiness. True, many of them have stumbled into wrong roads. But the new ideas of marriage and relationship have been the direct result of the fasle teachings of these “in betweens” who have longed for the freedom that they saw coming too late to be beneficial to themselves, and have experimented with the youngsters who are just ready for life. Worse, even, than these have been the wholly mid-Victorian parents who have refused to advance with the times and who have forbidden their children the freedom that they see other children enjoy. I have a letter from a young girl who has been afflicted with such parents. She says: Dear Miss I.ee: I am 20 years old. I have never been Inclined to be wild or unconventional. But I am not allowed the privileges that other young folks my age enloy because my parents think the socalled younger generation Is ‘'wild.'' If I express mv thoughts before my parents, land they are. I believe merely the natural, normal thoughts of a girl my age* without them raising their eyebrows In holv horror and going Into a long dissertation upon who things were when they were young. How modest and retiring girls were then I How bold and abandoned we are in comparison! I am sick of their lectures and the repression they place upon me. I want, to work. They forbid me. because when they were young no really nice girl worked. The hazards of being out in the world are too dangerous, they think. Up until now I have acquiesced reluctantly. I am just about to break the bondage. BARBARA. The answer to your letter, Barbara. is for your parents rather than you. There is nothing a parent owes to a child as important as his debt of trying to understand that child. Your inclinations are not dangerous nor unnatural. They are normal and healthy. Talk to your parents frankly and truthfully. Tell them exactly what you think about. Don’t be frightened off at the raising of four eyebrows. And do write and tell me how things come out. New Fall Hats The outstanding feature of the new fall millinery is the artistic effect achieved in the crown of the hats through self fabric appliques and inlays. The best fabrics are felt, soleil and a rough material called scratched felt. Wide Collars On the newest organdie frocks are wide collars which extend beyond the shoulders making a stiff, but very quaint finish to the bouffant frock.
