Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Unload vour troubles on Jane Jordan who will help vou ee what to do about them. Letters of comment also are invited. Dear Jane Jordan —I once had a girl friend. She was married and lived next door to me. Things happened and she and her husband parted and were divorced. Before their divorce I heard that she was having dates with my boy friends, so I made up my mind that I was going to marry her ex-

husband. I know that she loved him yet and that I didn’t and never would. But I went ahead with my plans, arid now I am married to him. She still loves him, and she begged him. so hard not to divorce her. She was awfully unhappy, and now I am the one who

Jane Jordan

is unhappy. I even lied at the divorce trial and caused her to lose custody of her baby gift. I hear she is just about grieving her life away. I saw' her down town last week and she talked to me. She didn’t even mention our situation. She just asked about her baby and said she hoped I was happy. She seemed so pitiful that I am ashamed of myself. I can’t even think straight. I’m afraid she might commit suicide, although she isn’t any coward and can stand a lot. I would feel like a murderess. I will do anything to right this wrong. I have been so hard-hearted. Help me if you can. Answer—Of course you can’t restore the girl’s husband. He probably was lost to her before you started your evil machinations. But you can restore the child. You can get into serious trouble by admitting that you gave false testimony, but even so you will have to do it if you expect any peace, for no one can hope to lead a useful and satisfactory life when their actions are based on jealousy and revenge. Your saving grace in this situation is your bald honesty. You have made no effort to excuse yourself, and I believe you have the courage to set things straight and start over. I am wondering what kind of a childhood you had. Were you, perhaps, over-punished, spanked too much, or criticized unjustly at home? If so, it accounts for your desire to do some punishing yourself for a change. Evidently you have strong aggressive instincts which have gone wrong for lack of an adequate outlet. You are the kind of woman who should have an interesting job at which to work. This would take care of your drive for power, and keep you from fooling with the destinies of others. 000 Dear Jane Jordan—l have known a fellow for about eight months now, and have learned to care for him more than I ever could care for anyone else. I was going steady, but because of him I quit my other boy friend. Every time i have another date my boy friend just raves and says if

The Theatrical World ‘Autumn Crocus’ Opens on New Year’s Eve BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

Two tremendously interesting and famous people of the stage will be in Indianapolis to usher in the new year. This is made possible by Arthur Oberfelder bringing to . English’s Madge Kennedy and Rolio Peters as co-stars in “Autumn Crocus,” a cqmedy which made a name for | itself on Broadway last season. The engagement will open on Sunday, New Year's eve, and will close on Wednesday night. When one considers how few American cities will have stars in person on legitimate stages, Indianapolis is most fortunate. Miss Kennedy will be remembered for her work in such plays as "Over Night,” "Little Miss Brown,” “Twin Beds.” “Fair and Warmer,” “Cornered." "Love in a Mist,” “Paris Bo u n and," "Bridal Wise,” and “Michael and Mary." In "Autumn Crocus,” Miss Kennedy plays the role of a young English school teacher, very beautiful and attractive, bjut serious minded, and until her holiday in the quiet valley of the Tyrolean mountains, a puritan with every prospect of remaining so until love in the person of a dashing romantic young innkeeper (Roll Peters) gives her notions and ideas regarding life. • Many of the characters have strange names, such as—" The Lady in Buttoned Boots,” "The Lady With the Lost Underclothes.” “The Lady With the Baedeker.” “The Young Lady Living in Sin,” “The Young Gentleman Living in Sin,” "The Reverend Gentleman.” "The Thirsty Gentleman,” and "The Crocus Gatherer.” Others in the cast besides Miss (Kennedy and Mr. Peters are Helen

I'm going to run around with others that I don't need to hang around him. What I don’t understand is if he doesn’t want me to have other dates, why doesn’t he ask me to go steady? How could I get him to ask me? He has mentioned marriage several times, but it seems that is as far as w r e ever get. When it comes to marrying there is nothing I’d rather do, but I don’t know how to keep him enthused about the matter. MISS X. Answer—Your boy friend probably would respect you more if you were not so eager to please him. He is a selfish, egotistical youth whose infantile demands for exclusive attention should be ignored. If he doesn’t like the way you behave, let him look elsewhere for somebody to bully. The chances are that if you retreated, he would pursue. Flight is an ancient trick employed by wise females since the beginning of time to stimulate the male to pursuit. Even if you succeed in warming him up to the chase, his interest may die after you are captured. The best thing you can do is to see this boy for what he is. He is just a self-centered child who wants everything his own way or he won’t play. And who wants an overgrown baby for a husband? School Party Held Hibben school held its annual doll party this afternoon with Misses Mary Jane Ray, Doris Ries and Martha Jane Bash assisting Misses Helen and Hazel Hibben.

Aged in the Woods Corn Product Manufacturer Seeks to Have Name “Jasper Dew” Copyrighted. EVEN the owners of those Dubois county hill stills seem to have caught the idea that “It’s smart to be legal.” One of them came to the office of the public counselor of the public service commission today seeking adVice.

He said that he long had been engaged in making that fine, old bootleg corn liquor known as “Jasper Dew” and wanted to know if the name couldn’t be copyrighted and the manufacture put on a “new deal” basis. Although this inquiry had nothing to do with utility rates, except perhaps in the most broad sense, Herbert P. Kenney, assistant public counselor, looked up the copyright laws. Among other things he found that the applicant must make a sworn statement as to the length of time he has been using the name before the copyright was asked. At this point the Dubois visitor, pulled on his cap. “Never mind, thanks,” he said and grabbed the first elevator going down from the fourth floor of the statehouse. 1 Veterans of '9B Will Meet Major Harold C.

SITE IN INDIANA PICKED FOR NEW HOMEMOJECT Government Will Place Families on Small Farming Tracts. By United Brett WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.—Indicating a widespread land-hunger throughout America, a veritable flood of demands upon the government's $25,000,000 fund for subsistence homesteads are being received here. Applications which, if granted, would cost have poured into the office of Director M. L. Wilson of the division of subsistence homesteads. Often letters, pathetic in their writers' eagerness for a bit of soil, total 1.000 a day. Backers of the plan may ask congress for more funds to meet the unexpected demand. Senator John H. Bankhead (Dena., Ala.), author of the present provision, originally asked for $400,000,000. In view of the popular response, the division is rushing individual projects, and hopes to announce ten or fifteen new ones before Jan. 1. Indiana Gets Site So far only three projects have been opproved. These are: Dayton, 0., a small settlement to provide garden homes for thirty-five families, costing $50,000. Reedsville, W. Va„ a project to care for 125 families of surplus coal miners on five-acre tracts, their farm income to be suplemented with work at a government postoffice equipment factory, costing between $400,000 and $500,000. Decatur, Ind., a demonstration project on the edge of a small industrial city, providing farm homes for fifty families, costing $125,000. Project Is Half and Half The $25,000,000 fund is a revolving fund. Settlements, created somewhat after the pattern of the United States reclamation service projects, are to be planted in all parts of the United States' by way of demonstrating the usefulness of an “intermediate type of life,” half way beween farm and city life. A hobby of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, the movement is likely to grow into imposing proportions. Subsistence farms are designed to aid pricipally these groups: Workers in mined-out coal regions, in copper camps and loggedover lumber regions, “over-aged” workers, victims of technological unemployment, families in low-pro-duction farm regions, and seasonal workers. The plan is novel in this country. Other countries, including Germany, i France. Scandinavian countries and i England, have similar enterprises.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League MANY players, upon picking up the South hand in today's j game, immediately would become ; discouraged with their poor cards. : But a hand of this pattern is not j a discouraging type. While it is lacking in high cards, ! it does have exceptionally good dis- ) tribution—five cards in each major. And if you can find a fit in your , partner’s hand, it isn't going to ! take a lot' to make game. Os course, the. South player is fortunate in catching his partner with five high card tricks, and even then he has to play the hand carefully to make his contract. While West has a five-card suit, j the hand is not strong enough to j make a second hand bid and he j properly passes. Over North's diamond bid, South properly shows the j higher ranking of his two suits of equal length. When North bids two clubs over South’s bid ,of one spade, this is a constructive bid and also confirms the fact that the diamond bid was constructive. He now really is showing a second suit —and with good strength. South shows his second suit and North takes the strain off the hand by jumping to four. 0 0 0 WEST’S opening lead was the jack of clubs, won in dummy with the ace. The spade was returned, West winning with the ten and returning the ten of clubs, won in dummy with the king. The six of clubs wgs returned from dummy. South trumping with the deuce of hearts. A small spade then was ruffed with the nine of hearts. A small club was returned. South trumping with the three of hearts and West overtrumping with the five of hearts. West returned a diamond, which was won in dummy with the ace. The ace of hearts in dummy was cashed, West’s king dropping. The j king and queen of diamonds then j were cashed and two losing spades ! discarded. Another diamond was returned. South trumping with the eight of hearts and then leading the jack j of spades, which was trumped in j dummy with the ten of hearts. East, of course, overtrumped with the jack and South won the last trick with the queen of hearts. iCoovriEht. 1933. bv NEA Service. Inc.)
