Saving for Age Is Duty of Parents BY MARTHA LEE The plight of parents who have no means of self support and no income of their own after they have * become old and have grown children is one of the saddest, not only for them but for the children. No matter how much children love their parents, no matter how much gratitude they feel for all they have done for them, it is not always convenient, nor best for them to make their homes with the children. The parents may be kindness itself, they may have every intention of bringing only happiness to their children, but very often a mother or father in the home of their married children can cause no and of trouble and unhappiness.' Children Gain Poise That is why every parent is entitled, after the children have grown and can support themselves, to provide and save for old age. In the first place, it is good for children to be brought up selfsupporting and self sufficient. It gives them a poise that can not be had any other way. It gives them' self confidence: It gives them a sense of value of things every child should have. It teaches them to be thrifty and saving. It is marvelous training for voung girls and boys who expect to be husbands and wives, fathers and

mothers. Resents Parent’s Attitude A girl who resents her parents’ attitude toward the question of self support has written. Dear Miss Lee—l am In a sad predicament. 1 am almost 25 and I have a ‘ sister 31. We both are staving at home but mv mother is leaving to go on a long business trip with mv father. My father is making good, money but mother said mv sister and I would have to keep up the expenses of the home while they are gone. We simply can not afford to do this as we are not making enough money. She said if we could not. we had better find rooms elsewhere while they are gone as they want to save some money." They 3ay since we are of age it isn’t necessary for them to keep us. Unfortunately I have no man in view. What can we do. Do vou think my mother really can care for us and take this attitude? j. I think your mother is a wise woman. They are approaching art age where your father’s earning power is bound to dwindle. They must provide for this. Man Is “Meal Ticket” If you have positions, a steady income each week, it would be good for both of you to live on a budget, to be completely dependent upon yourselves for a while. The reason you have no man in view is very obvious. Apparently a “man in view” is a meal ticket and a chance to quit work to you. No matter how carefully you hide this from a man he can sense it quickly enough and wild; norses wouldn’t drag him in your direction. You have a poor attitude about life add people all around.' When you change it you probably will have better luck.

WAS SOON BACK IN GOOD HEALTH Georgia Lady, In .Badly Run-Down Condition, Benefited By Taking Cardui. • A few years ago, 1 was in a miserable, run-down condition.'* says Mrs. M. M. Brett, of 806 Albany Averfue, Waycross, Ga. “I was so w eak I could hardly go. “I was very nervous and all out of heart, getting very discouraged with my condition. •'A friend of mine, seeing how miserable I was, told me to try Gardui. I have never ceased to be grateful, for I felt better from the time I began taking it. “I kept on Cardui until I felt well and strong. I was less nervous and was soon enjoying good health. I have had good health ever since. I haven’t had to take any medicine since then, except one spring I took a couple of bottles of Cardui. I felt much better after taking it.” Cardui Is purely vegetable, and contains nothing harmful. The medicinal value of the herbs from which Cardue is extracted has been well-known in the history of medicine for more than six hundred years.

ZARA EXPECTED TOO MUCH FROM LOVE Chief Character in Rosita Forbes’ New Novel Becomes an Ascetic, a Wanton and Then an Iconoclast. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN ZARA, when she was an ascetic, feared and expected too much of love, j Asa wanton she confused love and passion and as an iconoclast | ! she destroyed both love and passion. You will meet Zara as the wife of Christopher-Carlyon Hilary in j ; Rosita Forbes’ new challenge of a novel, called “One Flesh,” and published | by G. P. Putnam’s Sons. Zara must have expected too much from Christopher before she married him because she was warned by his ora brother that Christopher was different. The Faun told her—" Don’t imagine that Christopher is any different.

A nun might marry him, but not a woman who loved him.” And after a struggle to bring certain satisfactory relations into their existence, Zara realized that Christopher was "a half measure” and that if she wanted to be a nun why should she have married at all. And yet the.artistic soul, the real marvelous being of Christopher, recognizedhaothing of physical passion, but just his great love of beauty, nature and an old castle. He loved his wi.'e as a thing of beauty to the eye—nothing else. He did not realize or ever know when she ceased to be an escetic and became a wanton. She loved him too much to hurt or worry him and when she released the beast In her for her first satisfactory experience with a man as a man, she thought she was only giving up just a little part of that which was her husband’s.'

She Also Destroyed i When Zara became an iconoclast she realized in satisfying certain bits of her many-sided nature that she had destroyed the very approaches which guarantee security in the future. As she told her sister Jane, “Passion isn’t eternal and when it ended, j I should have to live with a blank j the rest of my life.” Christopher was not a failure in , the strict sense of the word because j he was that part of her which was j so lonely since she lost the power of 1 inventing things. ! As she said herself, “Christopher companions the bits of me that I can’t show, and, though I don’t think he knows it at all, he does need me.” He did need her, even to secure I for himself the right kind of a i funeral. There must be red roses j in the church, heaps of roses, and j his widow must wear a red flaming •dress so as to match the beauty of the roses.

A Study of Adventure In my own little way, I 'nave tried to get under the skin of the several | chief characters in “One Flesh.” Here is an honest study of moderns told in masterful English. The construction is about perfect and the logic as startling as it is true. There are no half measures on the part of the characters created by Mrs. Forbes. There is some splendid logic here and conversation which is not mine fun but brilliant and startling in its realism. Here is an example of the logic—- “ The best ingredients for love are a general companionableness and good bedroom manners.” I recommend “One Flesh” to those who are. not afraid to explore. If you wear flannel right gowns don't get acquainted with this one. I am not ashamed to say that this book swayed me mentally, just like going to good theater, as much as I ever have been by the printed page in my life. Maybe I have gone 1950. Who can tell. a st tt Indianapolis theaters today offer: Jim and Walt at the Lyric, “The Office Wife” at the Apollo, “Whoopee” at the Palace, Davey Lee at the Indiana, .“Dixiqna” at the Circle, “Common Clay” at the Ohio, movies at the Colonial, and burlesque at the Mutual. Council Will Meet Council of Administrative Women in Education will hold an informal dinner meeting at 6:30 Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Stetson and Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Weir will be honor guests. Mrs. Georgia Lacey, harpist, will , play during the dinner hour.

HOW TO PLAY

Policies of play are discussed in the following article, the' ninth in a series on “Today’s Backgammon” which has been written exclusively for The Times add NBA Service' by Elizabeth Clark Bovden. ‘She is the author of “The New Backgammon" and co-anthor of "Contract Bridge for 1930" and “Contract Bridge for 1931." BY ELIZABETH CLARK BOYDEN Written for NEA.Service THE first two opening throws often decide the general policy to be followed throughout the game. There are three distinct policies of play, each of which will be considered in turn. The simplest of these is called the running game. It should be adopted whenever the opening throws are such that the two men are safely ou- of the opponent’s inner table early in the game. Hurry all men around the board to the - home table as quickly and safely as possible. Exercise great care in exposing blots,- since all advantage is lost if a man is hit and returned to the opponent’s home table.

5 If ahead' of the opponent, that | is, if the opponent’s men have a | longer distance to travel, refuse to j hit any of his blots. These men j would merely be an embarrassment and make it more difficult to get ! into the home table and the men j safely borne off. / More than three of the opponent’s men in, the inner table make it possible for him to block two points, which makes it most difficult for a ! player to enter and throw oil without exposing blots. If the opponent is ahead or nearer home, try to hit his blots and hamper him in every possible way. a a a AS soon as all the men have passed the opponent’s men, so there is no danger in exposing blots, always play the man which may be moved into the next table with the fewest wasted points, rather than a man which may be moved so that he stays in the same table. When all the men are in the home I table, and the opponent has no men j left in this table, always bear a man ; from i the board in preference to moving one-up. When the opponent still has men | in the home table it often is wise to : move up in preference to throwing off. This is true when bearing off a man would leave a blot, or leave men in a position which might force a blot to be exposed on the next play. It is safer to crowd the men on a few points until the opponent is obliged to move out of the table. When both players succeed in getting their men out of the opponent’s home table quickly it is a race to see which first can get home und borne off the board. a a a THE defense against the running j game is to leave men in the opponent’s home table, hoping the player who is' running for home will be obliged to leave a blot, in which case he perhaps can be hit and sent back, thus delaying his I race for home. When playing a running game and forced to leave blots, consider : the probability of being hit. The j safest place is on a point which can be reached only by a double j

throw, and the farther away the blot, the fewer the numbers that can reach it. For example, a blot which is 11 points from the opponent’s nearest man can be reached only by a throw of five and six, while a blot eight points from the opponent’s nearest man could be hit with two and six, three and five, double fours and double twos. a a a THE safest place lor a blot which can be hit with a single number is as close as possible tc the dangerous opponent. A blot next to the opponent can be hit only with a one, while a . blot six points away can be hit with any six, and also with one and five, two and four, double three, and double twos. In figuring the possibilities of being hit by an opponent, there are 36 possible throws. All double throws except doublets have two

chances, which means that a two and three could be the two on die number 1 and the three on die number 2, or the three on die number 1 and the two on die number 2. Doublets therefore are counted once, and other throws are counted twice. The greatest number of points one man can be moved in a single throw is 20 (double fives* as there are not enough points on the board to play one man four moves with double sixes. The running game, although the easiest to play, does not occur frequently, as the throws seldom come right to permit it. This is fortunate, as it is probably the least interesting of any of the various methods of play. Next we will consider the blocking game and the back game.
