Efficiency in Government on Program Efficiency in government will be the subject of interest to local Leagues of Women Voters throughout Indiana, according to an announcement today by Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, Indianapolis, president of the Indiana League of Women Voters. Local league programs, which are being received at the State offices, show the September, October and November programs of the leagues all deal with efficiency in government subjects. Pre-election activities, including candidates’ meetings, one-day citizenship schools on election issues, and ballot marking classes, will take up most of the time of the local leagues during the opening months of the year. Study groups on permanent registration, conduct of elections and legislative procedure and “listening in" to the broadcasting programs sponsored by the National League of Women Voters and the National Broadcasting Company are also scheduled for September, October and November.
Peace Program Planned December,' when “good will to all” is the prevailing sentiment, will be devoted to a discussion of international cooperation to prevent war committee of the, league, with emphasis on the multilateral treaty. During the meeting of the general assembly local leagues are planning to keep in close touch with the proceedings, while the open meetings will also treat of such subjects as women in industry, child welfare, legal status of women, and living costs. The State convention will be held in Match and will constitute the major activity of all leagues for that month. Uniformity in Work In speaking of the local programs, Mrs. Greenough remarked: “There is a surprising degree of uniformity in the programs of our local leagues this year. Since the State and national leagues of women voters have a very definite legislative program, we try to keep the programs all over the country planned so that local leagues will be well prepared to give informed and therefore effective help on legislative problems as they come up for action. “With this idea in mind the Indiana league for the past three years has published suggested monthly programs for the entire year in the June issue of its magazine, The Indiana Woman Voter, with the result that local leagues throughout the State work together on the important issues. Individual effort counts for little, but when groups of women all over the United States are studying the same problems at the same time, their combined influence is considerable.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Two Sexes Necessary in Progress Just as it is necessary for every country to have two political parties to keep it in a healthy condition economically, so it is necessary for the world to have two sexes. Not only as a means of propagation, but for the antagonism that lies behind effort. -• It’s good for men, this new world movement of woman elbowing herself to the front. It is good for men and it is good for women to have the men resent it. It puts women on their mettle and turns what have been a beautiful gesture into a real honest-to-good-ness hard job. If man had allowed modern woman to oust him as he would give up his seat in a street car, the whole idea of her freedom would have bsen lost. She was not asked to accept chivalry, and this was the greatest compliment he could have paid her. In fighting her, man has made her his equal. By trying to keep her out he shows his respect for a healthy rival. I hadn't thought of it until a woman said recently, “Men turned the world to machinery.” There is the answer. Every great economic urge has motive behind it. The world usually cures its own ills. Great movements seldom are fads. The woman’s movement is no fad. Necessity lies behind it. But a subtle something led to the movement. What was it? A cosmic urge that unconsciously and simultaneously developed in women everywhere—something they did not understand, but which my friend so aptly expressed? It looks like it. No world can be happy on mathematical problems and wave lengths. Men were leading along paths of science to truth. Woman will lead to truth, too, but by the paths of beauty, spirituality and God. They have needed to be crusaders to be recognized. But when they have won their place in the sun they will choose their own methods of progress.

Luggage for the very young: left to right (top), Junior kit in tan cowhide, girl’s week-end ensemble in blue lizard, and overnight bag in red. Below: Tan calfskin bag with hookless fastener, dressing case and suitcase in pigskin.
. NEW YORK, July 28—Kids’ kits are the latest whim of fashion. For the well-brought-up youngster of today carries his clothes himself when he journeys afield. Luggage, suitable in size and kind, now caters to the child. Quite in line with modern psychology is the new diminutive luggage. It stimulates a child’s interest in packing and carrying his own things. And it develops a sense of responsibility in him because any child would be glad to look after his own luggage when it is pretty,
YOUR CHILD Mother Earth No Coddler
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Allow your children to play on the ground. There is something about Old Mother Earth that they need. But they’ll have to get right next to her skin with no blankets or boards under them to get the real benefit. I am sorry to say that Mother Earth is no coddler and she is likely to be damp and cold sometimes. Then, when she is in that mood, it is better to let her alone. Colds and sickness may result. But in the good ola summertime no child takes much of a chance by getting right down and cuddling up as close to her a. possible. It is good for young and old alike. To sit down, lie down, stay down, and let Old Sol boil you out, is a good
thing for all. In the newest and best hospitals they have wards for sick and convalescent children where tht sun rays can shine directly down on them through quartz glass windows. Quarts does not divert the rays. This is for winter, of course. Also the new apparatus for ailing grown-ups is the “sun-machine." When we have to buy the sun, we think it marvelous. When we are handed it free, it isn’t appreciated. The earth and the sun! Nature’s two big cure-alls. It is difficult for grown-ups to take the earth cure unless they are some place in the country or at the shore, where they can flop down. But it is easy for children, even for city children. Have you a back yard or side yard or any yard? Take up those bricks and put in clean sand or make part of it into a lawn. If possible try to get the children to the country for a little while or take them as often as possible to the park, where they can be
on the ground. Don’t fuss about mud and dirt. Strength is more important than a little dirt. But not damp ground; let that be repeated—nor cold ground. Another thing. There can be too much sun. A shady place should be provided for hot days, and little children should wear hats. Parents in apartments are being urged, if it is possible for them to do so, to get a place where children are brought into contact with the ground and the sun and fresh air. All children need these things as much as they do good food. Nerves rest outdoors. Children seldom quarrel in the open or show
colorful and just the right size. New luggage for the very young is all of that. Reds, bright blues, greens, a yellow tan and lavenders are all popular. Cowhide, pinseal, alligator, cobra, pigskin and al other staple and fancy skins are used. There are smart luggage ensembles for the youig miss, of hatbox and dressing case in blue, lavender or tan. Or if she is merely staying overnight, she may pick a cute zipper style overnight bag in bright red cobra or a dark green or brown. The youngest man of the family
other signs of unhappiness. It breeds wholesomeness of thought as well as body. Scrub them and dress them up at 4, or whenever it is your custom, and make them be “good children” and keep clean after that. But give them about six or seven hours a day in the play yard in the summer. They need it.
Woman s Day
BY ALLENE SUMNER A beauty expert prophesies that there will be no homely women in fifty years. The beauty of woman will be as taken for granted, she says, as the green of the grass or the pink of the rose. Which means, automatically, that there will be no such thing in our barren lives as the thrill that comes from seeing a truly beautiful woman, for beauty is in proportion to its rarity. A world of all beautiful women would mean that the ugly woman would be the beauty. For what would it profit a woman to have eyes’ like purple or brown pansies, hair like spun gold, cheeks like the damask rose, and teeth like pearls, if these attributes were only the taken-for-granted things of wom-
an? But then, no such disaster will ever come. A world of all beautiful women is as remote as a world with no poverty or sin. tS tt tt Silly Stunt! The offer of SSO for every baby bora to one of his employes by Henry Field, head of a seed company in lowa, makes one murmur only “just like a man!” Seriously, in the light of facts which cannot be dodged, facts which prove that the world's population is increasing out of all proportion to its mortality and its production of food, a real humanitarian would offer SSO each year to every employe who refrained from having
a baby! tt tt Wants Fagless Wife Because his wife smoked cigarets and would not stop at his request, a Cleveland (Ohio) man recently asked for a divorce from the smoking wife. To be sure, couched just like this, there is no ground for complaint. Any woman today has a right to smoke, if she wants to. There are many waves, however, who, while they rather like the little white tubes, eschew them for something which they believe is more worth while—their husband’s approval.

Sorrows of Deserted Husbands BY MARTHA LEE You've read story after story in the daily papers about wife deserters, child deserters and the like, but it isn't very often you read of a husband deserter. I was beginning to wonder if there was such a thing and if so why. There is, but the why is still an unsolved mystery. Perhaps it is because men have more innate pride that we do not read of them being deserted by thpir wives. Then, too, they usually cai struggle along, some way or another, whereas women so often art left with little children to suppor' j which means that they must resor: to the law in order to force the er • rant mate to continue their support. However, I had a very patheti" letter from a young man wiio ha . been deserted by his wife. He is so completely abject and the letter such a glaring example of ‘his bedraggled spirits. Here it is: Dear Miss Lee: I am a young man and have been married. I have one aweet little kid, tnree years oldT I've never seemed able to get ahead In the way of a steady Job. The end of the first six months we were married mv wife left me. Then I took her back three motnhs later, she knowing that I was out of a job. We lived together six months more and then she left me again. At the end of another five months she wanted to come back and I took her. At that time I thought I had a steady Job. but I was laid off. Then the baby came and I sent her to the best hospital. Although she was working. I pa'd all the bills during our married life. I bought a little home up north and S3OO worth of furniture, all paid for. She came home from the hospital and lived with me Just a month and then left again taking the baby and all the furniture while I was out looking for work. She now has a divorce and I am paving for her support end the support of the baby. She wants to be remarried and come back. I have no home, job or friehds now. all on account of her. JIMMY. Well, Jimmy, your position is a very sad one, I will admit, but don't you think you just, a little bit to blame yourself? Why can't you hold a steady job? I know that jobs are hard to find, but I should think a wife and child would be added incentive for you to work your best in order that your job might be permanent. You speak of your wife working. Are you sure that it is any harder for you to find a job than it is for your wife? It seems to me that she either loves you very much and is willing to give you another chance to prove yourself to her, or else she is very fickle. If I were you, I would buckle down and find myself a job and hold it against all odds. Before she comes back again, see that the reasons for which she left before are entirely eliminated. Then you can discover whether it is fickleness or not. Vi: I have no way to get you the j information you wrote about. I | should think you could interest some of your friends in the idea, especially since you have a tentative booking. A Mother: I would certainly regulate the length of time I allowed the peighbor children to stay in the yard. Your children need some solitude and the chance to learn to | understand each other.
