Finds Native Country Is Dreamland City Woman Pays Visit to Czechoslovakia After 27 Years. BY BEATRICE BUBGAN Timet Woman'* Pate Editor ALAND of kindliness and hope to Mrs. D S. Meditch’s reflection of her homeland, Czecho- I Slovakia, after twenty-seven years' absence “If one looks bewildered > about the streets, two or three people will come to your assistance," recalled Mrs. Meditch 5149 Park ave-

nue. “You need not be offended by a stranger's solicitous attention. It seems to be a national trait to b helpful." Mrs. Meditch with her daughter Janet, a senior at Shortndge high school, left in June to visit her family at Prague and nearby. They returned Aug. 25 with a feeling of having visited a dreamland.

In the cities no one notices wearing apparel, they explain. "You may wear a 1910 model and you’ll draw no more attention than if you were wearing the latest 1933 mode. The peasants come to town in their counrty garb, and add a colorful note to the cosmopolitian air. Peasant men wear black trousers, tucked in boots and white aprons, while women wear more varied colored costumes.” Mrs. Meditch described the streets as serpentine, and the speed of automobiles as excessive. “There are not as many automobiles to miss, but there are droves of geese, peasant and narrow streets to combat. The streets in many villages are narrow and obscured by the barricades used years ago as protection.” Lines In Glass Villa The Pribiks, Mrs. Meditch's family, manufacture glass, and one of her brothers lives in a glass villa made ofaniropak. which is being exhibited at the Chicago exposition. One of the grandest experiences of Janet, who is athletic, was the “Olympic games,” which her uncle held at his country estate. The event was purely a family affair, but it didn't lack any of the excitement of a national affair. Medals and trophies were awarded to winners, and Janet came home with the trophy in the girls’ tennis matches. She also brought with her a tennis racket bearing the signature of Karel Kozeluh, who won the professional championship in United States in 1928. Hunting on Estate On the estate are hunting preserves. a swimming pond, tennis courts and bowling alleys. Asa souvenir of the event Janet has the country's flag, bearing signatures of all who participated in the event. Athletics is a national necessity. Each little village has its gymnasium and annual mass performance. At the national day at the exposition, an outstanding event was the field performance of hundreds of natives. “We met dozens of people who were on their way to the fair.” explained Mrs. Meditch. “Their pet remark was. 'We’re going to play cards under the Niagara.’ ” Loaded With Gifts “We didn't buy much, because the dollar had lost its value in that country, and, besides, we were loaded down with gifts from our friends.” Mrs. Meditch replied to the feminine question, “What did you buy?” “The people still sing, drink and eat. and their faces are smiling as if they never knew a depression," explained Mrs. Meditch. "They know what to do wAh themselves. They are virile and healthy, and enjoy their rich country, the flowers. the trees and mountains. They know how to use then' leisure time.’

Cuffed Gloves Smart new gloves have cuffs to i match your suits or dresses. A good trick is' to get plain kid gloves the color you want, then make your own flaring cuffs of material just like your costume. If you want to be ultra smart, sew decorative buttons on to your gloves and make buttonholes in your cuffs to attach them.

Daily Recipe DEEP DISH PEACH PIE Have a quart of ripe and luscious peaches. Peel them, break them in halves and remove the pits. Take a baking dish large enough to hold them and about three inches deep and line it with rich pastry. Put in the halved peaches and arrange a cluster of the pit* in the center. These will do the double duty of imparting an exquisite flavor to the pie and keeping the crust from lagging in the center. Sprinkle over the peaches, pat on the top crust and pinch the two edges closely tofether to prevent steam or juice from escaping. Bake in a medium oven about fortyfive minutes.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Bovs and girls, join in the discussion continued from last week! Don't be slow in responding! What do you think of the letters vou find in this column today?

Dear Jane Jordan—Why is It that a fellow must have an automobile to have a girl? It seems to me that the better the car, the more popular a fellow is. Up until a short time ago I had no car and I found it hard to get a date. Now I have a classy-looking

roadster and I find very easy to get dates. I have heard the expression, "You don’t think I would ride on a street car with him.” several times. I would like to see some answers printed from girls on this subject. A. B. J. Answer Last week a lad, whose

mmme k

Jane Jordan

signature symbolized his state of mind, complained of the same predicament. Mr. I. B. Durn found himself miserable because motorless. I asked the girls to tell why they could not love without benefit of cars and here is what they say. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—The other day I. B. Durn wrote you that he was good-looking and had a good job, but didn't make a hit with the girls because he didn't have a car. If he knows this is the main reason he isn't popular, why doesn t he buy a car? Whenever I meet a fellow, the first thing I want to know is. "Does he have a car?" I don’t know why a car is so important, but it just is. If a fellow is goodlooking and has a car, I can t see why anv girl wouldn't go for him. E. L. M. Answer—The American girl's ideal is the go-getter type of *ian. I suppose that an automobile is a symbol of his go-getting ability. I do think that this requirement is rather hard on the men whose values are not quite so material. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l am wondering if Mr. Durn hasn't accepted the opinion of a few girls for all girls. Personally, I go with a fellow because of who he is and not because of the kind of car he drives. P. ON. Answer—lt does seem wiser to pick a husband for himself instead of his car. tt tt tt Dear Jane Jordan Show me any 24-year-old young man who doesn't drink, smoke or chew, has a good job. is good looking, and see how fast I fall for him! The devil with the automobile! GIRL FRIEND. Answer—Another girl who puts human qualities above machinery! This ought to comfort Mr. Durn. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l’m afraid I do not agree with Mr. Durn. For m.v part, it is the fellow I like and not the car. As long as the young man is nice, attentive, and neat appearing, why is it necessary to have a car? I think these qualities in a young man more than make up for his lack of a csw. Also I want to add that l ridevthe street car to about 75 per cent of the places I go; so you

It is hard to believe that October and its chill days are only around the corner. But you must have faith to be prepared! Long before you slip into your autumn suit, long before you dream of getting your fur coat

see all girls do not care just for the automobiles. H. L. S. Answer —There is one point in this letter that Mr. Durn will do well to ponder. In common with all women, H. L. S. wants a man who is attentive! In my opinion an attentive lover without an automobile has a better chance than an inattentive lover with an automobile! Dear Jane Jordan —I. B. Dura must be girl shy, or have an inferority complex. No man who is good-looking and who has attained the age of 24 can blame any one but himself for lack of female compaionship. A car is not important to romance. If a girl cares for a boy deeply enough, she won’t care whether he has a car or not. A car is a necessity for those speed-mad, let’s climb-a-flagpole-at-midnight flappers. But to a girl who is reasonably settled and interested in a young man, a car is nothing. I’m only 17. but I have found that it is the man who should be picked for good qualities, not his car. If you have I. B. Durn’s address, please send it to me and I promise the young man in question that I w r on’t bit him. I would tion that I won’t bite him. I would know what is the matter with him. GEE WHILLIKINS. Answer —I do not have his address. If other young people who read these letters have anything to offer on the man versus car controversy, they are invited to send in their letters tomorrow.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

' out of storage, long before you even think of football games and coming winter sports, you’ll be needing that first classic street costume. An individual wool dress, with the proper accessories, is the solution in toto. Have it a snappy color. Bright green, a ruddy autumn red, a brown, a vivid old gold, or one of the n£\y wines or grays. a a a NEW for its color scheme, its neckline, and flaring skirt is a handsome brown and green, soft, squashy wool dress, which has bright green accessories to accent the green threads that are shot through its brown. It is an excellent first autumn dress because it plays up the neck and bosom, with a collar that hugs the throat and then ruffles slightly slantwise down the bosom. One big green bone button fastens slightly at the left side of the throat. And the sleeves have that restraint in the width that is the new note in autumn’s silhouette. Take a good look at the fancy stffching. You can’t have any stylish dress this year that doesn’t have a bit of decorative work somewhere on it. This stitching, with its measured tailored look, edges the collar and continues across the right hip pointing down the panel. Then the other side of the skirt picks it up and runs slantwise back up to the green suede belt. Just a touch, perhaps. But it is by just such touches that the best clothes achieve their distinctiveness. a a a ' I -HE little hat, with its off-the-forehead look, is quite as new as the dress. Made of soft brown suede, it has a thistle of green and brown topping it. Shoved back off the head, you get an idea of what the new fall face-line for hats will be. While many wear brims so well they won’t desert them, the new note in hats is this off-the-hair-line style.

Mrs. Downey Picks Relief Drive Aids Division and Co-Chairmen Named for Women’s Crusade. Pointing out that women are the conservators of family life and may safeguard Indianapolis’ stabilizing social agencies, Mrs. Brandt C. Downey, chairman of the women’s crusade of the Indianapolis Community Fund, today announced cochairmen and division chairmen. The three co-chairmen are Mesdames Alfred T. Rapp, Louis Wolf and Sylvester Johnson Jr. Division chairmen srce Mrs. Benjamin D. Hitz, northside; Mrs. I. R. Yeagy, southside; Mrs. J. Willard Bolte, eastside, and Mrs. H. P. Willworth, w r estside. Mrs. J.. W. Moore will be chairman of the speakers committee for the crusade. Mrs. Downey, member of the national committee of the women’s crusade, headed by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, is representing Indiana and expects to enlist'forty to fifty thousand women to support social work, carried on by agencies of the Community Fund. She rc • ports that last year, the women’s speakers bureau of the Fund reached 30,000 women, more than any similar bureau in the nation. With no membership fees or dues, the crusade is organized to “recognize the growing needs of babyhood, the playtime of boys and girls, the worries and heartaches of burdened mothers and the anxiety of the old folk,” and “to serve as ambassadors of understanding between the welfare agencies and the community.” Beginning in October, the women will give their mo!?al support to the fund in its campaign for “human needs.” Mrs. Downey attended the “mobilization for human needs," which President Roosevelt held Friday and Saturday in Washington. Mrs. Roosevelt addressed tw r oof the meetings and met with the women representatives in the White House Friday morning. The purpose of the mobilization was to attract attention to local community fund campaigns.

High Grade Merchandise Contrasted With Cheap in Special Ayres Exhibit Best Materials Are Compared With ‘Shoddy,’ Brands as Part of Educational Display of Products. BY HELEN LINDSAY’ AN interesting educational exhibit for the buying public has been prepared by Miss Ruth Buck, of the L. S. Ayres store, and will be on display this week and next on the eighth floor of the store. It is not the purpose of the display to advertise the products of any particular manufacturers. Miss Buck explains, but rather to interest, the public in the purchase of “good" materials, in preference to shoddy, cheap merchandise. The idea was first worked out in the Marshall Field store. In Chicago.

Many of the exhibits in the Ayres showing are identical with those shown at Marshall Fields. Others are original with the Ayres store. One of the most interesting features of the display is the fur exhibit, which shows the progress of the fur of the Alaskan seal from the time it is taken from the body of the animal, to its creation into a fashionable fur coat. Government stamps on the fur show the different grades of Alaskan seal. Each year, the federal government stamps each fur with a distinguishing mark, which shows to the informed person whether it is a first class fur. or one that is inferior in quality. This year’s mark is a small blot in the lower part of the government stamp. Alaskan seals, according to the exhibits, all have the same rough appearance when they are in their first stage. The fur then is “haired,” which means that it is clipped with a knife, in much the same fashion in

which a dog fancier would trim the coat of a wirehaired terrier. This gives the fur the soft velvety appearance which is characteristic of the finished fur. Dying processes also are mentioned in the exhibit. * a # a a a “Abrasion” Machine Is Feature BECAUSE Alaskan seals are such ferocious animals, their skins always are marred with slashes from fights and stone bruises. This does not damage the fur, but the process of repairing these places has much to do with the quality of the fur when completed. Another interesting feature of the "quality exhibit” is a machine called an “abrasion machine,” which shows the amount of wear that hosiery will give. Friction on the material of the hose discloses that one good grade of hosiery will wear for more than 200 walking miles, which means that a man wearing them could walk from Indianapolis to Toledo before they would be worn out. In the display of the ingredients which go into the making of good and poor grades of candy, caramels have beeen used for the demonstration, since in this kind of candy there is a greater possibility of using poor materials than in any other. None of the ingredients used in the concoction of inferior caramels is injurious, but the quality of the candy is greatly affected by them. “Most people know the difference in the taste of good candy and inferior grades,” Miss Buck explains, “But many of them do not know that it is the materials which are used in them which make this difference in taste.” tt n a ts . n Tests Given Grades of Fabric CHILDREN'S dresses and India prints, laundered an equal number of’times are used to demonstrate the wisdom of purchasing good materials at slight difference of price. Threads and drawn places in the cheaper dress are brought to attention after the repeated laundering. The cheaper print is faded, while in the better grade of material, the color is as distinct and the pattern as clear as when the material first was purchased. “The real purpose of the display is to demonstrate to the public that it gets just what it pays for.”
