[Tough Jobs’ for Children Are No More BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A well*known psychologist advises parents to give their children plenty Os tough work. There is, he says, positively no accuse lor the debilitating idleness under which masses of children are suffering. Probably all sensible parents agree With him. We know, ah, how well we know, that the soft lives our thildren lead are detrimental to the proper development of character. We know that they have few Spartan qualities and that they probably always will choose the smooth rather than the rough roads of life. We also realize that this is a dangerous condition. But, in this, as in many other things, the average parent is utterly helpless. Things are too easy for all of us. Squads, regiments, battalions of mothers do not have hall enough to do, and suffer the dire consequences. Our world is changed sadly from Spartan days and we have changed along with the world. It’s easy to tell men and women to cive their sons tough jobs, but where, my friends, are these jobs to be found? Millions of families live in apartment houses. Other millions reside in small homes where a mere pocket handkerchief would cover the lawn. There is gas for heating and consequently no wood to be fetched and no fires to be built. Outside of rural districts, everybody buys milk from the dairy. There is no keeping of cows, pigs, or chickens within the city limits. And household drudgery has been reduced to a minimum. Quite literally, the boy in a family of moderate means who lives in a city, has nothing to do. For this very reason he often gets into mischief. But it hardly can be said with justice that parents are entirely to blame for this lack of work or responsibility. It is, above all, the result of our civilization. I tell you that we parents do not need so much abstract advice. But we do need somebody to help us meet the grave problems that this urban age has put upon us.

Flat furs make chic amd rew accessories, says Paris’. (Dahray Ideas.)

PARIS, Aug. 30. HOW I remember a little fur hat and muff that I had as a child! Looking back upon it now, it was, of course, a horror in shape and cut, but I dddn’t thing so then. In fact, when I found the set some years later in the attic, didn’t I haul it out and make myself a little toque and glove cuffs out of it. And that hat was a horror, too, because it v/as lots of bulkiness and very little chic, if I remember correctly. Yfet it was original, not too extreme, and flattering. Since then no one has dared, until this season. And lo and behold, appears wee fur berets, exactly as their basque sisters that were made so successfully in colored wool, and they ARE chic! Appear also very expensive purses and bags made of fur. with extravagant tops of marcasite or jade or crystal, appear smart glove cuffs that can be turned down over the hands for a real chilly spell, and have all of the comfort and none of the bulkiness of the fur lined glow. And fur belts! Don’t think for a moment they aren't smart, and flattering. They are all, of course, made of flat furs, as are most of these accessories. But just picture a white ermine belt with a diamond clasp on a black georgette afternoon Cfrock, and tell me if you can live without the idea! Honestly, they are as cute as a bug's ear-wacker—and I for one am turning outside-in-inside-out a lot of old trunks and things and searching out bits and hunks of old furs to make into accessories for this winter. a a a Os course, there’s just the littlesi trick to it, so I thought I had better make you a leaflet telling you how' to go about it. Meaning how to make a lot of old furs over into interesting new fur accessories, belts, berets, glove cuffs, bags, etc. For you or for the kiddles, you know, so better send that 2-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times right away before you forget it, and then your envelope will be one of the first to be filled with a leaflet when they come in from the printers. maa SATURDAY is our practical day, and this collom is not for sassyety women today! It just occurs to me again to mention the advantage of white for evening wear, as a bee-0000-tiful white crepe moricaine gown has just been finished for me by a big couturiere—at a big price. It’s long, oh, just showing my pearl-embroidered heels, and it's intricately fashioned in the cutting

Your Faults Bared by State Fair Parent Test

BY ARCH STEINEL Scene—lndians state fair of 1930. Time—Saturday. Personae—Mama, Papa and Johnnv. ' v e family nproar. , .iohnny (passing a booth)—C’mon I'm roinr to take yon and Pop in there. Man (yanking away)—No you're not. Papa (stabbornlr with Anger in month)—l won’t go. And that's what will happen parents of Indiana unless you steer clear of the child's guidance clinic booth of the Indiana university at the state fair this year. For the tables are turned and Johnny, who was weighed and stethoscoped as a babe for the health blue ribbon has it on you this 3’ear with the establishment of a booth at the fairground for testing whether you’re the parent your children think you are. The booth, under the direction of Dr. Helen P. Langner. will use for a parental thermometer a list of thirty-thrpe questions. “99“ Is Your Limit If you answer the thirty-three puzzlers in training children you'll grade 99. You can't get 100 per cent even though you hit * all of them on the nail, for the clinic specialists say that “no one is a perfect parent.” The questions range from the quitting time of a child's alarm clock to the degree and extent of the application of the hickory switch, pancake turner, or what have you. Take No. 19 in the list and its query* “If a child scribbles on a wall, do you punish him; take away his crayons: give him paper: or do nothing because he may never do it again." Now, What to Do? If you check “punish him” then you may go to the foot of the class in "parenting." But if you underline “give him paper,” then “double check.” But supposing your eye fails on No. 20 with its, “If a 14-year-old daughter wants to go out at night to meet boys? Encourage her to go; forbid her going out at night; invite some boys and girls frequently to

so that it hugs and flatters the figure. And I asked “Madame, you know you can only wear this gown ONCE and it has to be cleaned, as it sweeps the floor when one sits. And the price of cleaning this in the good ol’ U. S. A. is eight or ten dollars. How about WASHING it? And she said wisely—“w'hy not?” Now I ask you, could anything be more practical than a perfectly beautiful and regal evening gown that could be washed and ironed, worn as white for one season, dyed rose-pink for another, red or midnight blue or : bottle green for a third, and in the final analysis be dyed black—AND like it? My dear, how it pays to spend six or eight dollars a yard for a dress like this, even if it took six yards to make, and to have had it made by an expensive dressmaker. Think it over, and compare the original cost with what a cheaper gown that had to be celaned upon each wearing would cost in the long run, let alone the dyeing which a cheaper material and a less well cut gown can stand only once. And just before I say goodby, let me remind you that there are skirts and sweater tops available yet in the leaflet which finishes this week, if you mail your 2-cent stamp for your leaflet today. Au Re voir! (Copyright, 1930. bv The Associated Newspapers.)

her home; try to interest her* in girls.” Now if you put a clamp on “owl” hours you can take the d.mce's chair; but if you invite boys and girls to your home you may keep out of the old folk's home an extra year. Take “Dark Room” Sports Should your 3-year-old be afraid of the dark, as in questidh No. 22, you've the alternative of “paying no attention to it; playing games in the dark; not letting him go alone in darkness, or laughing about it.” And to the inventive ones with “dark room” sports goes the pink ribbon of correctness. Take the sample diet question of “What is a substitute for meat in a balanced diet; applesauce, egg or toast," and you'll find you can make the grade by the process of elimination. “Applesauces" are not kindred to cows and neither is “toast ” so it must be “egg.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Scarf Style Is Revived by Chanel BY FRANCES PAGET (Copyright. 1930. by Style Sources) NEW YORK. Aug. 30—Chanels trick of reintroducing a style idea that women have liked and which has been shelved for such a short period that its second appearance is a reminder that it has been missing for a little while, accounts for the revival of scans now seen on evening frocks. To this movement is added one more variation to the growing list of ‘ soft evening decolletes which aim | to depart from the severe lines of 1 last year. | There is nothing especially disI ferem about these scarfs from ; ones that were familiar so short a | time ago, for they are of the kind I that are fastened at the shoulder and trail in fairly long lengths i that permit them to be draped 1 about the shoulders. | However, the revival is timed adroitly in view of the favor which anything that has a Grecian flavor enjoys just now. This quality is especially felt when the scarf is draped loosely across the back from one shoulder to the other. Another point to remark about these new scarf evening frocks is that they appear in fabrics like satin or flat crepe, in contradistinction to the chiffon and lace which produced a more fluttery tone to the former Chanel dresses of this type.

Family Menus

BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer One of the surest ways of attaining popularity during the summer months is to be able to serve delicious, cooling drinks to one’s friends on a minute’s notice. If lemonade is dressed up a bit in an unusual fashion, it becomes distinctive and impressive. With a bottle of lemon syrup always in the refrigerator, it is a simple matter to concoct an unusual and refreshing drink. A ball of Ice cream about the size of those sold in 5-cent ice cream cones is right for the

Daily Menu LUNCHEON—Ham and potato toast, lettuce salad, oatmeal drop cookies, sliced bananas, milk, tea. DINNER—L amb kidney chops, currant jelly sauce, wax beans, blueberry cobbler, browned potatoes, creamed milk, coffee.

amount of beverage contained in the ordinary drinking glass. Since the ice cream is added last, care must be taken not to fill the glass too full of the liquid. A spoonful of crushed fresh fruit, lemonade to half fill the glass and a ball or spoonful of vanilla or strawberry ice cream and plain lemonade is transformed into a “cooler” par excellence. There are many other combinations in which ice cream plays an important part. A combination of grape juice and strong lemonade, shredded pineapple and strawberry ice cream makes a refreshing drink. Mint syrup Is rather unusual and the recipe follows. u u u Mint Syrup One and one-fourth cups mint leaves, 6 cups water, 3 cups granulated sugar, 12 lemons, 6 oranges, lYz cups red raspberry juice. Combine sugar and water and let boil for eight minutes. Add mint I leaves and cook two minutes. Cover j and let stand half an hour. Strain through cheesecloth and let cool. Add strained fruit juice and let blend at least an hour before using or bottle and store in refrigerator until wanted. About six cups of ! ice water will be needed to dilute this syrup.
