Baby Needs World of Garments Mnv womi who are planning either t© •5°. D .J- or t Sl. to !** tlnv *rmenu are wondering }u*t what their infants are going to need and what mav ne dispensed with. This Information and what In general a mother may expect is contained In a series of articles prepared from data obtained from the medical Information burao of the Nw York of Medicine, of which thi* U the fifth. BY ELIZABETH CLARK Now that the news of your blessed event is going the rounds, it is high time to think of tiny garments. You will not be allowed to put It off, anyhow. There are too many sentimental souls in every girl's family who register distress if they do not find her entangled In webs of pink or blue yarn or diligently sewing *fine seams. So, even if you do not know one end of a needle from the other, a bit of lawn very much in evidence will help keep eyebrows from climbing Into pompadour and save you a lot of excuse-making. You will have carried away with you from your first visit to the doctor a complete list of the things your Infant will need. Shop Your Own Way You can outfit him piece by piece In exciting shopping forays or check off every item at one sitting \n the pastel and ivory seclusion of some infants’ salon. The list tucked in your handbag may seem prosaic, but once an enthusiastic and motherly salesperson takes you in hand, things will begin to look up. - Even flannelette wrappers, stockinette sheets and quilted pads will seem glamorous. And when all the latest gadgets that help a modern infant off to a good and- welldressed start in life have been spread before you, you must be a spiritless lass indeed if you don’t get all a-flutter trying to pick and choose. Dolls Are Models If you know your infants’ departments, which you probably do not as yet, you can pick an emporium that boasts a full-fledged nurse in its a baby salon. She, with a life-sized doll as model, will show you the ins and outs of dressing and undressing, bathing and powdering your darling. The wise mama will keep a tight rein on any temptation to splurge on ehbroidered robes and satin sdeques if she has to skimp on the utilitarian side of things. In no matter what social stratum your baby is to be born, there are certain things that should not be left out of his first wardrobe —and those are the things that do not come pouring in at the doot all prettily tied up in ribbons and fancy tissue. Go Light on Blankets To preserve your peace of mind and your cupboard space, go light on blankets. Dear friends and adoring aunties will supply you with enough of these swaddling clothes to serve a brace of twins. If the you buy is nothing very fancy, you can count on your darling’s grandmammas for the frills and rosebuds the minute they see the sensible garments you have purchased. It will not make any difference how much you explain that your doctor is all for plain clothes that go on and off easily; that babies are not comfortable in fancy and fussy things, and that you don’t particularly cotton to the idea of ironing ruffles. Who ever heard of a baby that didn't have a company dress for Visitors? They will counter. A Lengthy List That list may seem interminably long what with a pram for him to go airing in, a bed to sleep in, a tub. scales and the hundred and one things that will send you kiting for a larger apartment and make that shipshape bank account look pretty slim. If an up-to-date nursery complete with miniature examples of early American cabinet * T ork is out of the question, there are dodges that will stretch both dollars and space. Many a lusty youngster has started life sleeping in his carriage. Or whats’ the matter with a clothes basket enameled and lined if you feel that ambitious? Here Is Clothing List As far as your baby’s clothes are concerned, you will have a shopping list something like the one below, all carefully annotated to explain unfamiliar terms. The budget may run below SSO, or as high as you wish to go. 3 Gowns, at 85c $2.55 3 Binders, at 35c 1 05 3 Shirts, silk and wool, at $1.50.... 4.50 3 Bands, at 75c 2.25 3 Dresses, at sl.lO 3.J0 1 Dress 1.95 1 Dress 3.95 2 Flannel Skirts, at *1.50 3 00 1 Flannel Skirt 2.50 2 Nainsook Skirts, at *1.95 3.90 48 Diapers; at *1.50 dozen 3.00 2 Bath Towels, at 95c 1.90 2 Turkish Towels, at 35c 70 3 Stockinette Sheets, at 95c 2 85 3 Quilted Pads, at 50c. 3 for 1 35 1 Sacoue 1.95 2 Pair Bootees at 50c 1.00 1 WrapDtnc Blanket 1.95 1 Crenelle Wrapper 2.95 2 Boxes O Tips, at 45c 90 3 Cards Safety Plhs. at 10c 30 1 Rubber Diaper 50 91 Pieces *§o.oo Next—Advice to Fathers.

TRAGEDY HAUNTS MRS. WILSON

Walks Often, Alone, Down the Long Hill to Shrine

Six wives of presidents still are living In America where are the present homes of these First Ladles of the Land* What are their activities? What ta their social life? Who are tbelr friends and netfthbors? How do they view the contemporary world, and what are their recollections of the Witte House? In a seres of six articles, the fifth of which follows. William Enele, a WorldTeleeram staff writer, will answer tnese Questions Today he writes of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. BY WILLIAM ENGLE Times Staff Writer (Copyright 1932. bv the New York WorldTelegram Corporation) WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. Edith Bolling Wilson, who cloistered herself for years in the dark-starred house in S street, after Wocdrow Wilson died there, is out again in the light. The embassy luncheon the Chicago Democratic convention—a box car jaunt to the Forbidden City in Chinar—the Geneva conference—the Jackson day dinner—the Pimlico track and Saratoga all these have drawn her forth, across the white marble doorstep, away from the little balcony where Admiral Cary T. Grayson read his somber bulletins as throngs prayed on their knees in the street below in the black February of 1924. Yet, very often, too, she walks alone, unseeing, down the long hill that leads to residential Washington' from the National cathedral, Wilson’s tomb. She still wears black or orchid or soft gray. The Greek tragedy that moved to its inevitable, bleak end in the Georgian house among the trees has carved its aftermath on her face; although at 60 she remains a striking figure, the lines of the fins countenance have deepened and the old buoyancy is gone. Social didos of the Washingtonians divert her only mildly. She plays a little bridge. Goes to a few private parties. But in the S street house, where she lives with her brother, she entertains none but intimate friends. The public functions—usually those with a political tinge—are the ones that most often lure her out. a a a SHE remains staunchly Jeffersonian. At the Chicago convention she still was in her gallery seat munching a cheese sandwich at 4:30 in the morning, waiting for the first ballot to be completed. “Are you going to see the session through?” “I’m going to try to.” She did. But she declines to be inveigled into any lead role in politics; prefers to wander off by herself to far places; as traveling companions likes her brother, John Bolling, or her cousin, Dr. Rudolph Bolling Teusler of St. Luke’s International hospital, Tokio, and Mrs. Teusler; tries to ’avo and publicity. When she was in the Orient a while ago she rode a donkey over the hills outside of Peiping. She had rice cakes and persimmons w T ith the conductor of the all-baggage-car train that trundled her to the Great Wall. She dined with President and Mrs. Chiang Kai-Shek. But she shied away from photographers; declined to be interviewed. She likes to be inconspicuous; finds often that she can not. When she slipped into a meeting of the new league committee on arts and letters in Geneva, choosing a seat among the public, the group, which included notable poets, abruptly stopped the debate to pay her homage. "Madame, yours is a great name that is not forgotten here.” “I only wish my husband could have had the privilege of seeing your committee in session.” Ban She intended to enter Warsaw quietly last year for the unveiling of a statue of Wilson—

California Has Made All Modern Music Very Sweet Charlie Davis Traces the Influence of Paul Whiteman and Art Hickman on Dance Music of Today. CALIFORNIA has had as much influence upon modern dance music as it has upon the weather. In today’s article, Charlie Davis, now at the Indiana ballroom with his band, traces the influence of that state upon modern dance music. Davis writes as follows: “This ‘Be Your Own Columnist’ idea which they are sponsoring over here at The Times certainly is great. I thought I would make the front p&ge today, now that the election is over, and everything, but here I am' back here where I belong. Oh well!' Some day I’m going to write an article so dripping with literary talent that they will have to 1

put me on the front page with the other columnists. “Now to get down to the business of the day. which, if you remember, is ‘The California Influence on Music.’ “To recall the first Californian influence we must go back a few years to the time when the five-piece band was the rage.’ There was an ambitious second viola player out in San F’rancisco who became interested in modern music and wondered just what would happen if the jazz band was turned into a real orchestra. “His curiosity led him to select eleven of the best available musicians, with the idea of organizing anew style of dance music. He wrote music for them, rehearsed them, and when the time was right, he took them to Atlantic City where they made their debut among gasps of astonishment at the enormous size of the aggregation (Note: eleven pieces). “Next they went to New York City where they were sensational, and where they started to revolutionize dance orchestras. The leader of this nine days musical wonder was none other than our then fat, now slim “King of Jazz,” Paul Whiteman. “Their next achievement was to record for the Victor Recording Company, whose sale of thousands of records, set a competitive company (Columbia Recording) out to look for an organization to ‘*-*t Whiteman. a So, again we find ourselves'! California. This time at the Saint Francis hotel, where another Californian by the name of Art Hickman is directing a symphonic dance orchestra, whose size even outdid the Whiteman unit. “The good work started by Whiteman and Hickman has since been carried on by such personalities as George Olsen, Abe Lyman, Paul Ash

And the crowds shouted: “Long live Mrs. Wilson!” She can no£ get away from the past; the White House and the war time marked her for all her days. Yet she lived a full life before she met the President. She was the daughter of the leading lawyer in her region of the Alleghenies; as Miss Edith Bolling of W’theville, Va., she grew up, a reigning belle. Aunt Becky Anderson, thirty years in the Bolling family, characterized it as well as any one has. “I don’ know nothin’ ’bout de Bollin's but what ever’body knows. Dey’s quality folks, an’ dey’s my white folk, an’ always mighty good an kine to me. Dey’s sure quality.” Edith Bolling, like Margaret Wilson, the President’s daughter hy his first wife, is a splendid mus&cian. She was educated at Martha Washington school, Abingdon, Va., and Powell college, Richmond. Still a girl, she was married in

Why, I remember Coffee Dans out there. A place where you ate from tins and beat time to the music and entertainment with a mallet given you as you entered.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ty. Right, at the age of 24,

1896 to Normal Galt, Washingtcn merchant. He died in 1908. Later she continued as one of the capital’s widely known hostesses. Tall and dark eyed, with regular features and unfailing poise, shq at once caught the President’s 1 fancy when he was introduced to her in the first year of his first term. He began calling at her home on Twenty-first street. She read to him, played the piano for him. Often she dined at the White House. They went to American league baseball games. And in October, 1915, they announced they Would be married in December. a a a r | ■'HEY had the ceremony, very quietly, in her home, and on the brief honeymoon went only to Hot Springs, Va. The New Year’s reception was the first brilliant state function for the ride; others that year followed swiftly; but already the clouds were gathering. Within the month the President was solemnly saying: “A year ago it did seem as if America might rest secure without very great anxiety and take it for granted-that she would not be drawn into this terrible maelstrom, but these first six months were merely the beginning of the struggle. “Another year has been added, and now no man can confidently say whether the United States will be drawn into the struggle or not.” The clouds were looming heavily. But the President and Mrs. Wilson were assured four more years at the capital. After 290,000 came out to see him take office again in 1916, Louis Seibold was writing for The World: * “No President, save Abraham Lincoln, has been sworn into office under such conditions as those that prevailed today. In much the same spirit with which the Civil war President dedicated himself to the protection and defense of the Constitution of the United States, so did Woodrow Wilson as solemnly dedicate himself today.” Ever heavier, now, the clouds—and thunder in the east. The rest grows confused. So many boys were marching. There were so many brave, hysterical cheers. Madness was on every one. And then the casualty lists began to come back. a a a THE shadows deepened at Shadow Lawn. They encompassed the house in S street. Then, so abruptly'that it seemed unreal, the madness was over. The silent, wilful man, beside whom through it all Mrs. Wilson had reassuringly stood, held the earth in his hands. Next, the triumphal tour of Europe, a pathway of acclaim for the President, and the First Lady, from Brest to Paris, to Milan, to Rome, and then to England. She sought the background, wanted him to have the plaudits. But she was always with him; always with hint, too, on that dramatic, awful swing around the circle in America in 1919, when the league’s fate hung in the balance. She knew he was exhausted when he came back from the peace conference. Only her sympathetic concern for the triumph of the league program stopped her from pleading against the last tour. Her anxiety deepened to terror when Salt Lake City dumfounded them. They were confronted there with their first contact with the currents of public opinion antagonistic to the league. The Mormon tabernacle was Jammed. The President made a point against the opponents of the / ►

It had interpreted his words as a point against the leaguge. It dawned upon him that he was misunderstood. He went white, rebuked the crowd. There was an odd, terrible silence. “You do not understand. You do not understand,” the President kept repeating it. ana T TE did not Understand, either, for curiously enough this was the most friendly audience he had had on the entire swing. That was the first sign of the impending break. That night when the train left Salt Lake City he had a nervous attack. His iron will succumbed to the vast ignorance of a friendly crowd. By the time they reached San Francisco Mrs. Wilson was constantly urging him not to overexert. There the exposition auditorium housed a great throng. From the first the meeting was disorderly. There were fights in various parts of the hall. Women fainted. The hosts were hostile. An unprecedented thing happened. The audience refused to listen to the President of the United States. The disturbance was created both by those who wanted Wilson and those whe did ndt. That was something strange to Wilson. He held up his hand, as if appealing for a hearing; it was quivering and he was pale. Mrs. Wilson arose quickly; went to help him—a beautiful, imploring figure—but even this did not alter the bitterness of the league’s opponents. Disillusionment came on swiftly. The break followed at Pueblo, Colo., at a meeting that made history. a a a IT is doubtful if Wilson ever made a greater speech. He seemed a man inspired as he spoke his feelings, looked at the graves of Americans who had died in France. Mrs. Wilson wept; so did others. It was the last effort, the burning out of the fires. When the train pulled into Wichita, Kan., the next morning, Secretary Tumulty openly was crying. “My God, what a night,” he said. “I sat at the , President’s bedside and he said to me, Joe, I am exhausted. I feel that this is the end.’” From that point ’the train hurtled to Washington. When the President reached the White House, with Mrs. Wilson at his side, his collapse became complete. That was Sunday night, Sept. 28, 1919, Wednesday he had what is commonly called a ‘shock.” The story of the days after that is dark with frustration, and bright with Mrs. Wilson’s devotion, it is literally true that she hardly left her husband’s bedside. For almost three years she was constant companion and attendant. As he improved she went with him daily on motor rides about the capital; patient when he was fretful, cheerful when he was depressed, enthusiastic when some new testimonial reached him from political disciples. At the end, as the silent crowds waited out in 8 street on Feb. 3, 1924, as the country’s thought focused there, she was with him. Thereafter she dropped from sight. Now, it is pleasant to report, she is out in the world again. In the next article Mr. Engle will write of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge.

ROOSEVELT TO FACE DIVISION OF SENTIMENT Liberal and Conservative Senators Offer Problem to President-Elect. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 9—One of the most difficult jobs that Pres-ident-Elect Roosevelt will face when he takes office will be to harmonize the factions within his own party to put through a consistent program of national legislation. Most conservative and most progressive Democrats helped Roosevelt during the campaign. But now that is over, and as his various supporters seek White House help to put across their legislative pets, Roosevelt’s job becomes one that will require delicacy and diplomacy. In the question of prohibition, which he probably will have to face first, Roosevelt’s forces will not be cohesive. They are likely to be split wide. There is Morris Sheppard, the Democratic senator from Texas, whose chief pride is his co-author-ship of the eighteenth amendment, and there is Democratic Senator Tydings of Maryland, wettest of wets. To pacify both of these, and the factions they represent, Roosevelt must tread dangerous ground. In taxes he faces another dilemma. John J- Raskob, to say nothing of other leading Roosevelt supporters, wants income tax rates on large fortunes reduced and a general sales tax substituted. But in the house and senate there is strength among the new President’s own party in opposition to this plan. The ways and means

Double Honor It!) United Press UVALDE. Tex.. Nov. 9.—The election gave two major offices to John Nance Garner. In addition to being elected Vice-President, he was returned to the house of representatives from Texas’ Fifteenth congressional district. During the short session of congress, which convenes in December, he wfil serve as Speaker of the house. After his inauguration as Vice-President on next March 4, he will preside over the senate. Garner went fishing Tuesday, and returned late in the afternoon to hear election returns at his home.

committee of the next house may have as its chairman the Democrat who led the fight on the sales tax, “Bob” Doughton. On the issue of pre-payment of the soldiers’ bonus, Roosevelt's party in congress again is divided. In the house there are Representative Patman of Texas and Rankin of Mississippi, .who have worked for years to cash the bonus; and on the other side is A1 Smith, who not only opposes pre-payment of the bonus, but wants the large appropriations for relief of veterans reduced. In the senate will be one of Roosevelt’s strongest supporters, Huey Long of Louisiana, whose intention is to have legislation passed to limit individual fortunes. But there also is Senator Robinson of Arkansas, whose career and record prove he thinks Long too “radical.” Senator Connally of Texas would like the tariff on oil increased, but Tydings is prepared to fight this to the last ditch. Government operation of Muscle phoals and government construction of power transmission lines there has been the aim of Senator Norris (Rep., Neb.) for years, and

SELECTION OFCABINET IS EXPECTED SOON Pat Harrison Says Roosevelt Will Announce List in Few Days. By United Press GULFPORT, Miss.. Nov. 9.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt will name his cabinet “within a very few days,” Senator Pat Harrison (Dem., Miss.) predicted Tuesday night. Harrison said it would be “unwise” for Roosevelt to make known the entire list of proposed cabinet members. He particularly emphasized the importance of announcing the President-elect’s choice for secretaries of state and the treasury. “I would sugest this as a means of restoring public confidence, and to assure the people that new leadership will measure up to expectations,” the senator said.
