League Will Be Host to .New Voters Parties for new voters will be one of the features of the pre-election activities of the Indiana League of Women Voters, according to an announcement made today by Mrs. C. T. Boynton, Elkhart, State chairman ~ r —v voters’ committee of the league. The Elkhart League of Women Voters had made arrangements for such a party to be held in October. Such organizations as the Chamber of Commerce have been asked to cooperate with the Elkhart league in an effort to interest young men as well as young women in the meeting. Information on candidates, marking of ballots, election laws, and a discussion of campaign issues both State and national will - f vcn at the meetings. Mrs. Boynton is cooperating with presidents of college leagues in arranging similar parties. Miss Ethel Mallock and Miss Maw Latham, Indianapolis, presidents of the Butler University and Indiana University leagues, are planning parties for the last of October at their respective schools. In writing to the presidents of the college leagues about preelection activities which they should attempt, Mrs. Boynton stated: “In Indiana where we have no absentee voters’ law, we may be inclined to think that a ‘get-out-the-vote’ campaign in any form is quite unnecessary. But spontaneous interest in Government is always greater in an election year, and if properly utilized can be developed into a permanent interest which will do much to solve many of our problems of Government. For that reason I am urging you to make every effort to have successful meetings for the new voters in your university, both men and women.”
Mothers of the Manned Have Power By MARTHA LEE No wonder they run comic strips about mothers-in-law! No wonder three-fourths of the current jokes are quips about them. Only it isn't so comic and it isn’t such a joking matter if you have one of those who are food for the jokesters. There isn’t anything in the world that can destroy peace and happiness and tranquility of a home quicker and more thoroughly than a meddling mother-in-law. And the reason is that in spite of everything, a mother still wields power over her own son and daughter, no matter how married they are. The love of a mother through the years when she watches over her child is not supplanted by a wife. It shouldn’t be. It shouldn’t have to be. As in everything else, there is a definite niche for both of these loves and one should not in any way interfere with the other. And when it does, it’s just too bad for the daughter or son-in-law. For an unfriendly mother’s-in-law wrath knows no bounds.
When Love Leaves I would venture there is more dissatisfaction caused by the other of either the husband or the wife interfering with the home ar.d married life of her child than from any other cause. Because she is the mother of the one or the other, her opinion is respected and heeded, and once she plants the seeds of dissatisfaction, distrust, or any of the infinite variety of poisonous weeds that she can grow in the hearts of the one against the other, love goes flying out the window. No matter how much a mother-in-law objects to the way the situation in her son or daughter’s house is being handled, she has absolutely no right to interfere. She has no more right to voice a decision in that home than she would have in the home of a stranger. Her jurisdiction over her child went into other hands the day that child chose a life mate. If she has any duty in the matter at all, it is to help them towards understanding and satisfaction. I have a letter today from a poor woman who has one of the female Shylocks for a mother-in-law. Here is her letter: Dear Miss Lee—l have had so much unhappiness because of my mother-in-low. My husband and I had thought of going away this fall over a thousand miles from here. His mother is going to the same place, now that she has found out we are planning to leave. I cannot have children of my own and my ambition is to ha e a home and adopt a child. I am sure my husband wants the same thing, but will not say so because of his mother. Only a short time ago his mother told me that, she would not allow her son to go in debt for a home unless she could share it. If she were different I would not mind, but no wife could bear that the way things are. I would wash dishes in a restaurant before I would ever live with her again. I don’t believe my husband tv ill ever trv to provide me with a home untU she changes her mind about things. I am over thirty years old and want a home o£ my own, even if it is only two rooms. I would be willing to work and help get started, but I don’t believe he would keep it up with her after him all the time. Do vou think I should go with him and live the rest of my life in hopes in a rooming house or divorce him and get my hor. for myself. I can easily do it. LOVER OP A HOME. My dear, did you ever think how empty yourhome would be without your husband? You have planned all these things with him, not without. They do mean a great deal. But if he is good to you, do not leave him for so trivial a reason. Can you not talk to him and tell him how much you want these things; how much they will mean to both of you later on? Tell him how impossible things are with your mother-in-law in the home. If he can not see it by hearing about it, give her a chance to prove it to him. .She will soon enough, and in a convincing way, if you ust give her a chance. Catch her off her guard sometimes, in front of him. She’ll spoil things, without you losing anythingby it. Pool Opening Postponed A dinner-bridge will be given this evening at the Meridian Hills Country Club in place of the opening of the swimming pool as was previously announced. The pool will be opened soon, the date to be announced later. ,

Advises Mastery of Job Whether Married or Not By SEX Service Alice Engelhardt, secretary of a million dollar shoe corporation in Cincinnati, believes every girl should master a profession, a trade or some kind of a job whether she marries or not. “Women need work as a means of self-expression, just as men do,” Miss Engelhardt stated the reason for her opinion. “Also, every woman deserves to know the joy there is in economic independence.” Miss Engelhardt started her own successful career as a bookkeeper, selling shoes, dusting and wrapping parcels in her spare moments, “to make herself useful.” “Women can go any place in the business world that she w r ants to, now,” Miss Engelhardt said. “There is no limit to her measure of success if she really is serious about her job. “No matter what a woman’s income is, she should never go into work just to play at it, hoping to enter the matrimonial field. She should finish the job of really learning her work. Then, if she does marry, she will always feel a certain security the untrained and untried ‘home woman’ cannot know. Moreover, skill on any job is a woman’s insurance against financial reverses within her marriage. “There really are no longer men’s occupations and women's occupations. There are simply occupations and whichever are best qualified to fill them, either men or w'omen, have the chance to do so.” Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Riordan have returned from a wedding trip to Washington, Atlantic City and other eastern cities. They are at home at 2035 N. Meridian St. Before her marriage, Mrs. Riordan ,was Miss Leota Crawford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Crawford, 3304 N.

Among those present were the Rev. Enoch, H. Wood, w T ho was a graduate of the class cf 1868 and Dr. William O. Jenkins of the class of ’Bl.

YOUR CHILD Needs Chance at Normaly
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A child deserves an all-round chance at normalcy. Buying toys intelligently, to increase their powers of reasoning, selection and manipulation is being reduced to a science. When toy manufacturers are engaging specialists in child-training and psychology to aid in suggesting new things to make, and toy merchants are hiring young women who understand the ethics of the kindergarten to sell the toys, it looks as though we were getting somewhere. Os course, a toy, like the “gifthorse,” must not “be looked in the mouth.” We don’t want to turn toys into arithmetic problems. But children themselves will love the toys best that cause them to use their minds, or their hands. They love to “make” things. One of the things that took my eye especially was a small gardening set. Not merely shovels and hoes that would bend upon pressure, but real ones. And with it a book of simple instructions on making a garden and planting seeds. It planned not only flower and vegetable gardens, but also small landscapes with shrubs and paths and perennial plants. This, for an older child of 10 or so. A parent would have to cooperate in such a plan, also, but not so much as one might think. It is too late for a seed garden, I but if a corner of the back yard, or all of it, indeed, can be handed over to your boy or girl for next summer, it is well to consider it now. It won’t be long until certain roots can be put in, such as peonies. And seed stores or a landscape gardener will not only sell you such roots, but will be glad to help you plan the small place, suggest the grouping of shrubs, and tell you what shrubs to buy. Little trees, such as Lombardy poplars or willows, are quick growing, very cheap to buy and effective by the second year. They may bo planted in the late summer or fall, according to climate. How children would love to plant their own trees' They will grow up with ten times l he love of nature if they are allowed when very young to help nature out a bit. And next summer, even if tho elaborate program of the shrubbery and trees is not carried out, I’d seo that the children had their own flower or vegetable garden and a set of tools, if possible. A garden calls for almost every activity of the mind and body. What could be better’ And yet these garden sets are classed as “psychological toys." It, shows where we are getting, doesn't it? Garden Party Thursday Members of the Poetry Society cf Indiana were entertained with a summer party at the home of Miss Maßelle Chitwood, 2529 Bellefontaine St., Thursday afternoon. Preceding the social hour in the garden, a program cf readings, poems and musical numbers was given. Miss Chitwood was ass'sted by her mother, Mrs. Mary H. Chitwood.
