NEW YORK, July 23.—Always, of course, but especially at this time of year, there’s need for smaller, lighter weight, extra chairs that can be moved without effort. Right now they’re pulled to the window to get all the breeze . . . onto the porch for the one extra visitor . . . out under the shade trees. Any time at all they’re so convenient to pull up to the desk or the bridge table. And such a chair should fit into the setting in which it’s going to stand most of its time. The small “side chair’’ without arms is the easiest to move around. But even the pull-up chair with arms is so much lighter than your heavily upholstered ones that all it needs is a woman’s touch. That graceful Queen Anne pull-up armchair illustrated is chock-full of comfort. This is one of the chairs that goes beautifully in either the popular eighteenth or early nineteenth century settings. And it’s a happy choice for a woman’s use. A man’s chair for such a room is found in the Chippendale type

The side chair illustrated is neither of these types, but—shades of our grandmothers—mid-Victorian. Nevertheless it ‘ goes in eighteenth or nineteenth century rooms, because it has the formal, graceful curves and elegance of line that make it harmonious.

Weight Gain Is Shown by Camp Girls

Miss Florence Thompson, Logansport high school physical education director, has been directing the nutrition and health features of the camp program for girls at Camp Delight, for the Central Y. W. C. A. girls’ reserve department. Miss Thompson, who has followed the nutrition program recommended by the Indianapolis health department, reports decided gains in weight by the twenty-nine cases handled during the last month. A “nutrition cabin” has been established on the camp grounds where pasture and foot examinations conducted and corrective treatment given. Sun baths, rest, special diet, first aid, drills, and talks on personal health habits are important elements in this program. Directed land sports and games supplemented by instruction in swimming and life saving have contributed to the general health gains that have been noted among the campers. The last camp week for grade school girls opens Wednesday, July 27, Beginning Monday, Aug. 8. a special high school girls’ period will be conducted, for which Miss Thompson will be general director as well as health and sports counselor. Miss Thompson is a graduate of Indiana State Teachers college. MISS ANN TENNANT TO BE DANCE GUEST Miss Ann Tennant, who is visiting her aunts, Misses Martha and Anna Royse of Terre Haute, will be honor guest at a dance to be given by them Monday evening at their home. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kidder also will be honored. Sixty members of the younger set have been invited. TEA TO BE GIVEN FOR MRS. GARTEN Mrs. Kathryn Turney Garten who is visiting at Ft. Wayne will be honored at an informal tea Monday to be given by Mrs. G. Irving Late at the Ft. Wayne Country Club. Warring on Mosquitoes Those who live in areas where mosquitoes are abundant will find that 1 preventing them from entering the home is not only a matter of screening all windows, but that plugging the small spaces around the screen frames is essential. Thin strips of felt or wood often can be utilized to advantage. * Tucked Pique Berets The beret refuses to be downed. Newest is the one pf tucked white pique. It’s been seen not only on sports occasions, but even for restaurant dining-dancing.

Beyond Death By United Press HILL, Ind., July 23.—An 80-vear-oid great grandmother lay in a country cemetery near here today holding a faded daguerreotype of a girlhood sweetheart she lost in the Civil war. Complying with a request made shortly before she died, relatives placed the worn resemblance of Hugh Barnes in the hands of Mrs. Lucinda Pickens Moss just before she was buried. Mrs. Moss had removed it from an old chest a few’ days ago and asked that it be buried with her. Barnes and Mrs. Moss w j ere ' sweethearts when the Civil war broke out. He enlisted and was killed. Although she married twice and had eighteen grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren, Mr*. Moss guarded until death the daguerreotype of her first sweetheart.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

contrast accent in almost any formal living room Small side chairs are fashionably used in pairs for decorative effect . . . one at either side of an ex--pause of windows, or at either end of a sofa, secretary or console table. The familiar ladder back, rushbottom and Windsor chairs, either with or without arms, are historically correct in an early American interior. But any chair that has a quaint provincial look about it fits in.

You Can't Be Perfect in Baby Care , but You Can Try to Be

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A young mother complained to me recently about many things. “It is very discouraging to bring up babies these days,” she said. “My goodness! Every time I forget to fill an empty bottle on the instant with cold water, or the lid is off the nipple jar, or the baby grabs something that isn’t sterilized and puts it into his month, I feel like a criminal.” And she went on to mention another article of mine about older babies, in which I advised putting everything possible out of reach. Also another in w'hich I had suggested that the dishes out of which little people eat their meals be scalded of boiled once a day. Must Be Standard “Dear me!” I cried in instant alarm. “I hope I haven’t given several thousand women the blues, not even the palest shade of baby blues. I was merely trying to inform them about standards. “There has to be a standard for everything. You know, a starting point, something to work from, or toward.” “Then you don’t expect mothers to live up to the letter?” “How can they if they do their own w’ork and take care of their own babies? I did it. I know how many steps there are in a day, how arms have to fly, and brains have to plan. “But there is no harm in knowing how things should be done if the children are to stay as well as they should. To do everything every day in every way perfectly, keep a home going and everybody happy, it would take several people, including an experienced nurse.” Slips Once in Awhile “I am so relieved!” she sighed. “I really do the best' I can. I try so hard to have the baby’s things just right and little Roy’s things, too. I don’t slip up often, but it does happen sometimes, just as I said.” “Any mother as conscientious as you are, my dear, will have healthy babies. These suggestions and rules of mine are not intended to discourage such as you. “But you see there are so many young mothers starting from scratch who have not the least idea of how to safeguard a little beginner, and it is better to let them know about certain things. "I mentioned putting things away because I had a very sad experience

French provincials, combining chintz coverings and maple frames are an especially good choice. For normal French rooms, there are those elegant looking Louis XV and XVI chairs, full of curves and with comfortably padded arms and formal, classic patterns in their upholsteries. And many a room has been given distinction by the addition of a modern pull-up chair. CCoDvrieht. 1932. bv Amos Parrish) Next: Last minute vacation necessities.

Your Child

one time myself when I was a young mother about something I had not put out of sight. It was too sad for me even to tell you about it now. “And I advised scalding or boiling the children’s dishes and to keep them apart, because one of the most severe cases of intestinal infection one of my babies ever had was transmitted, I know, from her father, who was in bed at the time with the same intestinal infection. “Some dish or spoon had gotten through and had not been scalded clean. “But don’t worry—just do the best you can. It is all any of us can do. When we know a few things, however, it should be a help, not a hindrance.”

PASTOR SPEAKS ON 'THE GREAT ADVENTURER' Dorcas Girls and Friends to Hold Picnic Supper Thursday. The Rev. L. C. E. Fackler of St. Matthew Lutheran church, announces he will speak at 10:30 Sunday morning on “The Great Adventurer.” The Sunday school teachers will meet Monday evening, July 25, at the parsonage. The Dorcas Girls, with their families and friends, will meet in Garfield park Thursday evening at 6 for a picnic supper. a a a CHRISTIAN SCIENCE THEME ANNOUNCED “Truth” is the subjet of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, July 24. Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon is the following from the Bible: Hear, ve children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. For I give vou good doctrine, forsake ve not mv law. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not: neither decline from the words of mv mouth. Forsake her not. and she shall preserve thee; love her. and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get wisdom; and with all thv getting get understanding (Proverbs 4: 1.2. 5-7). The lesson-sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: Faith is higher and more spiritual than belief. It is a chrysalis state of human thought, in which spiritual evidence, contradicting the testimony of material sense, begins to appear, and Truth, the ever-pres-ent. is becoming understood. Humanthoughts have their degrees of comparison. Some thoughts are better than others. A belief in Truth is better than a belief in error, but no mortal testimony is founded on the divine rock. Mortal testimony can be shaken. Until belief becomes faith, and faith becomes spiritual understanding, human thought has little relation to th actual or divine.

HOUSE, IRATE, KILLS SALARY SLASHING BILL Representatives Rise Hotly to Defend Their $lO a Day Pay. No lioness defending her cub* ver equalled the courage and ferocity of state representatives who today defended their $lO a day pay against a reduction to SB. Oratory which sparkled for the | first time this session and pariiai mentary wiles and strategems were resorted to by the representatives who succeeded in killing the bill by the indefinite postponement route. Such action means the subject of reduction of legislative salaries can not be considered again this session. The vote was 42 to 37 for indefinite postponement. Several vote switches at the last minute gave victory to the opposition. To the laughter of the house, Representative J. Glinn Ellyson (Dem.), Hammond, rang the bell when he declared in opposing the bill: "It is a shame to take up the time of the house with this measure. it is false economy to reduce our salaries. “We need more capable men instead of less, which would happen with a reduced salary. Knapp Leads Fight “With all due deference to the ways and means committee (which previously had been attacked for bungling the income tax measure) we had an example of incapability today. "We need men who know what they are doing. We haven’t got them now. In fact we need representatives who are more capable than we have at present.” Republican Leader James M. Knapp, following the minority policy of defending all pay reductions, if they appear defeated, challenged the opponents of the slash. “I favor $6 a day pay. I voted against the increase to $lO in 1927 and we came here to retrench and w ! e should begin with our own salaries,” he said. This was challenged by Virgil Simmons of Bluffton, unofficial Democratic whip, who declared: ‘•We are not asked by the taxpayers to cut salaries below what they should be. “The people of Indiana are not as hysterical as this legislature; at least, as some of the members. “They are not asking us to donate our services. I have got nerve enough to vote for killing the bill.” Cut Called Justified “This is a justified reduction,” asserted Harry Stamp (Dem.). Koachdale. “Living costs are reduced 20 per cent and we should take a pay cut.” “We should not.” shouted Walter Stanton <Dem.), Gary. “Some c* us have to come from the extreme northern and southern sections of the state and it costs us a great deal to live here.” At this moment up jumped wily Herbert P. Kenney (Dem.), New Albany, to read a rule which specified that “no member shall vote any question in the result of which he is immediately and particularly interested.” Then he stopped reading. To many of the members this was a way out, but Speaker Walter Myers called Kenney's hand. “Read the rest,” Myers told the parliamentarian, who completed the sentence, which is ‘or in any case when he was not within the bar of the house.” The trick failed. ILLINOIS WATERWAY IS ASSURED AMPLE FLOW Engineers’ Chief Denies St. Lawrence Pact Is Threat. By United Press WASHINGTON. July 23.—The St. Lawrence treaty assures the Illinois waterway an ample flow of water greater than that in the Panama canal, according to technical data prepared by Major General Lytle Brown, chief of army engineers. Brown’s report was issued by the administration in reply to mid-west-ern critics who asserted that provisions of the St. Lawrence treaty recently signed by the United States and Canada would destroy the usefullness of the Illinois waterway. Brown dismissed these charges as being “without basis in fact.” He said the Illinois waterway was assured a. flow "ample for any commerce that may develop.” LUNCHROOM IS LOOTED Merchandise and Cash Taken; Grocery Also Is Robbed., Merchandise and $8 in cash was taken from the Club lunchroom. 1035 Prospect street, Friday night, the proprietor, A. F. Englehart, 1632 Woodlawn avenue, reported to police today. Entrance was gained by cutting a hole in the rear door. Cigars, cigarets and candy were included in the loot. When Sylvan J. Roth, manager o l a Kroger grocery at 2304 Central avenue, opened the store early today, he reported to police that a screen had been torn from a rear window, a lock forced and the store ransacked. He was unable to give an estimate of the loot. BIRD TIES UP TRAFFIC Parrot, Shouting “Stop” and “Go,” Jams Up Berlin Autos.
