GAMES GALORE TO SUIT EVERY TASTE FOR CHRISTMAS

500 Kinds Are Shown for Adults BY JULIA BLANSHARD, NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Dec. s.—Why rot be a game sport this Christmas?' Make your relatives and friends play and play and play! There are games for everybody on the market this year. Some are designed especially for the 18-months-old child. Some were made expressly for the invalid or the traveler. And for children, adolescents and adults, there are upward of 500 to choose from. The new game out this year, good for any one over 10 or 12 years, is Camclot. It savors both of chess and checkers, being not so difficult as chess and yet much more fascinating than checkers. Two play it on a board marked in two kinds of colored squares. Revived this year and running very strong is backgammon. You can get it in ordinary board and counters or in deluxe fashion, with either an inlaid table top or a portable backgammon cover for an ordinary card table. Badminton is another game revived, which is having quite a vogue. Variety in All Games In games of all skill there arc Go Bang, Pegity, Wei Chi, a German game called Halma, and the old standbys of checkers and chess. Games of chance are tremendously popular this year. There are electric racing games and games such as Derby Day which use dice. There are at least fifteen versions of the old-time Parcheesi, the latest being the Big Trail, which, instead of sending a man home to start over again, captures Indians or loses pioneers, wagons and horses. Rouletto is popular, and there are a dozen or so novelty games based on roulette. For adults as well as children, Anagrams are having a tremendous vogue. You can get inexpensive or de luxe sets of this game. Card games that are being, sold in quantity this year include the ever popular Authors, the old game Pit, Flinch, Old Maid, Rook and many other similar games of this kind. Croltinole Is Favorite ’ Board games are excellent for children and enjoyed by adults too. The crokinolc board on which several games can be played is a universal favorite. Pollyanna still lives and is popular. East is East and Uncle Wiggly are favorites. So diers are back with us again, twelve years after the Great war. There are many shooting games, too, with Hickety-Pickety, Five Wise Birds and other versions of them giving variety. Good old tiddle-de-winks appears in so many new dresses that it is hard to list them all. Some hop the men over barnyard fowls, horses and pigs. Others try to jump them into pockets in a board, each pocket having a different count. Combination boxes, houses, or cases of games are de luxe gifts this Christmas. Some include a dozen games in one. Puzzle Pictures Galore For invalids or travelers, there are puzzle pictures, in about 100 different varieties. Costumes puzzles are among the de luxe types, with the finished puzzle a gorgeous lady of another day. There are geographic puzzles, word puzzles, and many others. For the children there are various versions of the old bean bag, ring toss, jack straws, jacks. For the wee ones just turned 18 months there are play sticks, colored with vegetable matter so a child may put them in his mouth without injury, bead boxes, big ball mosaics, block wagons and other color-matching games. As the child gets a little older all the kindergarten paraphernalia is available. Still older, there are stencil games, weaving ones and crayon competitions. Whatever the age, whatever the outlook of your friends and relatives, if you are in doubt what to give them for Christmas you might take a chance and let games come to your rescue.

Marion County Seal Drive Is Indorsed by Flower Group

The Christmas seal campaign of the Marion County Tuberculosis Association was indorsed by directors of the Indianapolis Flower Mission at their monthly meeting Thursday in the Board of Trade building. The mission specializes in work among tubercular persons. How undernourished children are brought up to normal weight, sick folks made more comfortable and the hungry fed, was told by Mrs. Fred Noerr, visitor for the mission, in her monthly report. She visited fifty-four homes in November. Ninety-seven persons were sent to the free tuberculosis clinic, 1,140 quarts of milk were placed in the homes, and twenty Thanksgiving baskets were distributed, she reported. Mrs. James H. Lowes, treasurer, reported the closing of the little tubercular hospital on city hospital property last month and transfer of the patients to other quarters until anew hospital can be built.

Professional Women’s Club Hears Talk by Dr. Peeling

Dr. James H. Peeling, associate professor, social sciences, Teacher’s college, Butler university, spoke on “The Habit of Crime in the United States” before the Indianapolis Business and Professional Women’s Club Thursday night, at the Women’s Department Club. The address followed the regular club dinner. Dr. Peeling traced the development of the habit of lawlessness from the beginning of the nation’s history to the present time. He pointed out the influence of the hardships of frontier days, and the necessity for protection from outside forces, as well as an inmate suspicion of governmental interference. The speaker pointed out that many times lawlessness has been made a necessity by the taking away of a means of livelihood by the pas-

sage of new laws. An example of this is the prohibition laws, he said. Dr. Peeling said that “President Hoover’s law enforcement commisj sion has undertaken to perform one of the most difficult and thankless jobs since the commission to negotigate peace sailed for Paris in 1918.” He suggested that the first step toward reform would be a simplified judicial system, but added that this would be almost impossible, as politicians would interpret the efforts as atto'ipts at bolshevism.

League Aims at Election Law Change Recommendation to appoint a survey commission to codify election laws of Indiana and recommend to the legislature needed changes in existing laws, was made by the election law study group of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters at its final meeting Thursday. Another recommendation to be : studied by the league is a constitutional amendment to eliminate some of the elective county and state officials. The league favors the shorter ballot. Revision suggested includes removal of party emblems from paper ballots and voting machines; election of county political chairmen rather than precinct committeemen; centralization of election administration in one authority; larger precincts or the combination of precincts for voting purposes; permanent voting places; wider use of voting machines and an investigation of newer types of machines, and elimination of the requirement that members of precinct election boards be residents of the precincts in which they officiate. ; These recommendations, resulting 1 from five weeks’ study, will be conI sidered further, to decide on what -changes in the election code the league, as a whole, will support. It is expected that the Indianapolis league W’ill present t.h suggestions to the state con veto on in the spring. The study group will take up legislative procedure Wednesday under the direction of Mrs, S. N. Campbell.

Glorifying Yourself

YOU can have a rainbow around your fingers this winter, if you want to. Highly colored nail enamel is in vogue. Blood red nails are seen and recently in Paris a famous actress created much comment by appearing in a stunning black and white costume, with her nails glossy black. You can get lavender, green, gold and silver ball enamel also if you want them. But it is hardly necessary to remark that these extremes in style give a decadent look. Only the most exotic types should venture far in such radical fashions, and then only for glamorous evening wear. Every one, however, should have pinky nails this winter, lustrous and beautiful. It is so simple a task to acquire them. tt tt YOU can use liquid enamel to paint your nails. Or you can use nail powder and buff them. An excellent plan is to polish them first with a buffer and then apply a single coat of enamel the shade of

“T UD-A-MERCY,” as the old JL / woman in the nursery rhyme exclaimed, “can this be I?” The impossible actually has happened. A widower from Atchison, Kas., announces that he would like to be married again, not because he wants a home, but because “he wants a wife.” And he finishes j with this brave and splendid j phrase, “I am off the home-maker j for life.” Nothing has done my heart so j much good since I first heard that blessed old wheeze, “Woman’s place is in the home.” I've often wondered how men and women so fatuously could believe that marriage for a roof or for a cook could result in the splendid thing called successful mating. Yet, without the least bashfulness, all down through the years, men have announced calmly that what they Wanted in a wife, first, last, and all the time, was a cook and a housekeeper. And plenty of the poor dubs have had Just that., and nothing more. tt tt tt I STILL have faith in compati- I bility and companionship and & even old-fashioned love. It always has seemed to me that, given a man and woman who loved each i other and had congenial natures, the home Just would grow up about them naturally, without any great effort. Where they were together, that would be home. And in spite of all the biffs the idea has received, I hang on to it. A woman who puts being a wife above and beyond being only a home-maker is pretty likely to j make a success of both positions, j even if she doesn't take any prizes ! at cooking school or could not i qualify as one of Harvard’s chair- j women. But this is the very first time, j to my knowledge, that I’ve ever j heard of a man actually sighing j only for a wife and saying that I if he could find the right sort, he'd just as soon eat out as not. However, great news always is coming out of Kansas. And who dares now deny that men- are getting wiser and better with the years?

pale pink or rose that you look best in. Finger nails can be the same shade of your cheeks or lips or both and be appropriate. To enamel your nails, give only one coating with your brush. Be careful not to cover up the half moons at the base of each nail. Nor should you touch the skin at either side. Let your nails dry thoroughly before finishing your manicure. As a last touch, run under each nail tip one of the little thick cotton threads which you can get coated with white bleach. Or you can use a specially prepared nail bleach to run under eacn nail tip. Either gives that white rim which no well-manicured nail should lack. st tr b TF you do like liquid enamel, and there is no denying its satisfaction and the time-saver it is, there now are perfumed ones on the market. You can get the color you want, plus a pleasing odor. No nails can ever look like anything .if you are not careful to remove every particle of your last manicure before starting another one. This is imperative. If you have a prejudice against liquid enamels or if you just happen to prefer a polish, you can make one of your own quite easily. Mix tin oxide and talc in 50-50 proportions and get your own particular shade of pink or red by adding the right amount of carmine. One manicure a week keeps your hands looking like a lady’s. If you are careful, that is. And of course it is assuming that your nails are healthy and normal. If they aren’t, if they are ridgy, have white spots or other blemishes, that is another matter and you should give your immediate consideration to improving them. Next: Nail blemishes.
