Club Women "Changed in Modern Day Spectacles on Chain and Tyrannical Manner Disappearing. BY (.RETTA PALMER Time* Writer YORK Fob. 20 —The wornan‘s club movement has received a good deal of derision, by and large. The sophisticate usually visualizes a "prominent clubwoman" as being a majestic, hawknosed woman with an amble bosom, glasses moored to her shirt waist

by a fine gold chain and a complete tyranny over a henlierkod family. There are still clubwomen like that—plenty of them. They spend their time jockeying for the presidency of half a dozen futile organizations and pursuing culture with a grim determination to let no phase of history

or literature escape. They pounce on visiting lecturers and carry them off like trophies to be lionized in their homes at hidepus teas. They are quite self-centered and fairly appalling. Rut there is, in this enlightened decade, another type of clubwoman made from quite another mould. Perhaps she could never have existed if the old type of clubwoman had not formed the sociable prac- j tice of gathering into groups for serious discussion. Perhaps she owes their tradition a certain debt. But she has advanced far beyond the mileposts they set up. End of Dabbling For the new tvpe of clubwoman has ceased to dabble. She does not simply expose herself to enlightenment at the knees of a literary idol —:• he coes out to her public library and digs deeply into whatever subject has begun to interest her and absorbs a gr°at deal of sound and timely information. Then she decides what she wants to do about it This modem, alert woman may bo interested in peace, say. Is she content to pass a resolution to that effect and bury it in the minutes of the club? She is not! She keeps an eye on the sub-committees of congress and memorizes those bills which have a \bearing on the subject. She bombards the President and her congressmen with well-informed telegrams of protest over any bill which seems to her to threaten the peace of the world. And when these bills come up for hearing, she jumps on a train or plane and turns up in Washington, surrounded by her Sympathizers, to attend the hearing and put in her oar Get Full Information These women who are pledged to j a campaign for birth control or for j equal rights or for the child labor | amendment are not inarticulate or j inactive. They are not content to! find themselves well-informed on! current events—they are a part of current affairs. They are interested In something outside of themselves, and wether they weigh babies in a clinic several days a week or address a gathering of striking waiters they lead brisk, busy, happy lives. Asa bv-produet of all this activity with a purpose, they are usually extremely charming people. Women for years have complained of the fart that men seem to remain young longer than women do. Well, perhaps much of that can be traced to the fact that men have had businesses or professions to fill their minds and have had no time for the fussing over the trivial personal complaints which carve out wrinkles. The new clubwoman, certainly, seems to bear out this theory. At 60 she seems younger than the old-fashioned clubwoman did at 40, when she laboriously compiled her little paper on Robert Browning. the Man. She deserves to. too.

Jealousy and Nagging Have No Place in Life of Charming Wife

How married women mar achieve thi charm 1 the oubjert of France* Robinson-DufT* fifth article on "The Wav to Charm.” BY FRANCES ROBINSON-DUFF. Written for NEA Service XJEW YORK. Feb. 20—Home should be a haven ot rest and repose for- the man who comes to It weary from a hard day's work. A charming wife. I think the average husband will agree, is one who makes such a home and invests it w-ith a calm and quiet that provide soothing contrast to the hustle and bustle of the average business office. The husband has to be, and naturally wants to b"\ master of the otfic", but nearly always, he prefers to let his wife run the home, provided she can manage to do it without infringing upon what he considers his prerogatives as breadwinner and head of the family. Therefore, in contrast to the clinging ways of sweetheart days, it is now up to the woman who would be a charming wife to develop a certain amount of initiative and independence. She must still ask for advice on crucial matters, but her husband will appreciate it if she makes decisions about the house and the children without bringing him into it. He doesn’t ask what to do when his secretary forgets to file an important letter. Why then should she bother him because the cock has forgotten to put baking powder in the biscuits? a a a THE wise wife considers marriage a job and makes use of all the tact, imagination and wisdom that she would employ if she were trying for promotion in an office. She

hangs on to her temper when things go wrong, takes care of unpleasant details, tries to look her best at all times. And just as she would show her best manners if her boss had important callers, so now she will call up all her graciousness to deal with her husband's friends, both social and business, realizing that the im-

pression she makes will have a lot to do with his success and advancement. It is reasonable to suppose that she will like all the people to whom she must show her best side for his sake. There will be cherished old friends of college and bachelor days who will wear terrible-looking clothes, flick ashes all over her best rug and reveal atrocious table manners, but she must not wince, nor falter in her cordiality. a a a NOR must she grumble to him later about the effort she has made. Nagging has no part in the program of the wife who would be charming. This does not mean that she must never air a grievance. But it does mean that she should say what she has to say and then drop the subject. And if it’s something which can’t be cured, she might as well not mention it at all, though that takes self-control. But there’s a lot of self-control in charm? The greatest single menace to wifely loveliness is jealousy. Trust your husband if you would be happy. Or if you can’t stop being jealous .at least hide the evidences, You can’t hold a man’s affection or his good opinion by making him think he has a rival either. That

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TTBCDK w BY BRUCE CATION

“TT TATCH THE CURVES,” by W Richard Hoffmann, is one of those novels which make a reviewer feel tnat it isn’t such a bad world, after all. 1 That is to say, its an utterly unpretentious book, issued without ballyhoo, which simply sets out to tell an interesting story in an entertaining way—and succeeds. It proves that fiction can be light without being cheap. It tells about a group of people who go from New York to Los Angeles in one of those shareexpense tours. In the party are the son of a bank president, whose father has cut off his allowance and sent him forth to make his own way without benefit of high finance; a retired lowa farmer and his wife; a beautiful girl who wants to get in the movies; a veteran newspaper man addicted to some of the most ingenious puns ever perpetrated; a vaguely sinister confidence man, and a sleepy cuss who does the driving. If all share-expense tours are as interesting as this one, I shall set out on such an expedition tomorrow. Lots of things happen. The driver tries to decamp with t*ie money and baggage, the banker’s son falls in love with the girl, the newspaper man commits a murder, and the confidence man tries to engineer a badger game with the bankers’ son as victim. The action is fast and spirited, and all hands have varied experiences before reaching California. And through it all runs Mr. Hoffmann’s genuine feeling for the America countryside. The panorama of a great continent unrolls before the eyes of his travelers. Touring, American style, is one of the greatest bits of recreation on earth. Mr. Hoffmann does full justice to it and it gives the book an added charm. Published by Farrar & Rinehart, “Watch the Curves” sells for $2. Auxiliary Program Set Auxiliary to the Sons of Union Veterans will meet at 3 tonight at Ft. Friendly, when Mrs. Claudia Erther will be in charge of a Lincoln and Washington program.

Cure Meats at Home to Save Money Task Is Not Difficult as Imagined; Card Also Obtained. BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Staff Writer The home-maker wh6 must practice strict economy will find it well worth her while to cure a ham and shoulder and side of pork at home It’s much less trouble than the uninitiated imagine and home-cured ham is something to be proud of. Lard, too, can be tried out in one’s own kitchen to good advantage and home-rendered lard is satisfactory in every way. Naturally the smoking can’t be accomplished at home, but as most butchers have their own arrangements for smoking meats, they are willing to look after this part of the curing for their customers. There are two common methods of curing pork. Sugar cured meats are usually considered the finest, although those cured in brine are preferred by some persons. Sugar Curing Pork Fifty pounds meat, 2M pounds salt, 2' 2 ounces pepper, V 2 ounce saltpeter, 2 cups molasses. Rub about 1 tablespoon table salt around the bone of ham and shoulder. Rub both sides of meat well with molasses. Mix salt, pepper and saltpeter thoroughly and rub well into the meat. Use about one-third of the mixtur eand let stand three days. Rub tw T o more times at three-day | intervals, making three rubbings in 1 all.

Let stand in a cool, dry place for from four to six weeks. The famous j Virginia ham is allowed to cure from two and one-half to three months, j At the end of the curing period the meat is smoked or not. as preferred. Hang up in a cool, dry place. Curing With Brine First rub each ham or shoulder with 1 tablespoon powdered saltpeter. Rub around the bone with 1 teaspoon brown sugar with 2 cups salt and rub meat well with this, quantity is enough for fifty pounds of meat. Put a layer of salt in the bottom of a tub. Put in meat, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and add more meat. Let stand in this salt for eight days. Take out meat, wipe off all the salt and wash tub. Combine 4 ounces of saltpeter, 8 cups molasses, 2 cups salt and 2 gallon: of water. Boil and skim. When cool pour over meat in tub. The brine should cover the meat. Let stand in brine four or five weeks, turning meat once a week to be sure it is curing evenly. Bacon will cure in three weeks. Remove from brine and smoke. Leaf lard may be bought in any butcher shop or city market and tried out at home. Cut fat in small pieces. Put into a large kettle with just enough water to cover bottom of kettle. This prevents scorching when fat is first put over the fire.

Inflation Protection When the value of the dollar drops, commodities go up in value. Real estate is a commodity whose value has already been increased by the facilities of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation and Building and Loan Associations. The opportunity for protecting ourselves against inflation lies in the conversion of cash ®into “things.” To the investor this means investment in real estate or equities. Building and loan shares offer long time protection against dollar fluctuation. They are secured by first mortgages on improved real estate. Real estate is always here . . . the en- . during basis of all monetary value. Protect yourselves by buying building and loan shares. / THE MARION COUNTY league of BUILDING & LOAN ASSOCIATIONS Copyright. 1934. A. V. Grtndle, Indianapolis. Ind.

M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League SOMETIMES, when you locate a high card in the hand of one of your opponents, you may be able to use this high card to keep from losing another trick. In other words, make your losers work to your advantage. North makes a response of two no trump in an endevaor to protect the king of spades. It does not pay AK 4 3 VK Q 6 AA 4 2 A J 10 6 4 AJ?r4 Q 1 0 9 *1097 * S 5 2 3 2 " * None 4J 8 7 , ® ♦lO9 fi 3 aq 9 7 1. i>™i?rJ 45.1 2 A A VAJ 8 5 4 4K Q 5 AA K 8 Duplicate—None vul.

generally to support your partner's suit with less, than four trump il you have a better bid. Os course, three hearts to the king-queen justify support, if you have no other constructive bid in your hand. In this case, however. North does have a constructive two no trump j bid, which I believe is the better' response. However, when South goes to four hearts, inviting a slam and 1 showing five hearts. West should lose no time in getting to six hearts. Again we And an opponent making the mistake of doubling, simply because he olds five trump. The j only chance West has to defeat i the hand is to take a heart trick and the queen of clubs. I often have said —and again repeat—never double a slam contract, unless you have two positive ways of setting the contract. Otherwise, your double may disclose just the information the declarer needs. c a a WEST’S opening lead was the jack of spades, which South, declarer, won with the ace. He now played a heart to dummy's queen and found East out of hearts. East discarding a small spade. This left West with a sure heart trick. Os course, if the club finesse will work, the contract can be made. However, the opening lead of the jack of spades looks like a doubleton. West’s double should mark him for at least the queen of clubs, so the declarer decided that it would be hopeless to try for the club finesse, and that it would be better to try to find West with simply a doubleton spade. The spade was returned and won in dummy with the king. Three more rounds of hearts were taken, a spade being discarded from dummy. Declarer then led a diamond to dummy's ace and returned a diamond, cashing the king and then the queen of diamonds. He led his last, heart, throwing West in the lead, and as West had nothing but clubs remaining, he was forced to lead into declarer's tenace. While the declarer got a bad break in trump, he did get a good break in distribution. (CoDvriaht. 1934. bv NEA Service. Inc.)

Printed Net to Be Popular for Summer Attire By Cnitfit Prr PARIS, Feb. 20.—This is going to be a season when materials speak for themselves. Among the more fanciful of the 1934 fabrics is printed net. In plaids, fruits, flowers and con* entional designs printed net is scheduled for a popular summer run. In addition to using it for such types of costume as we have been accustomed to. the new printed nets will also find themselves made into sports outfits and suits for street wear. Straw cloth is another novelty—that is, it has all the earmarks of novelty with the more stable benefits of practicability. It consists of cellophane woven on artificial silk, and is to be used both for costumes and for hats. It is to be had in colors and in black and white—dangerous when too near excessive heat, but delightful when near soft lights. Composition wools make an interesting group in the new fabric department. They are a medley of widely differing strands and threads with an assortment of odd colors, off-shades of better known hues. And almost invariably there are gold or silver threads—sometimes colored metal strangs—woven in with the wool. MISS WAUGHTEL TO BE HOSTESS Thesi Club meeting will be held tonight at the home of Miss Roberta Waughtel, 2450 North Pennsylvania street. Pledge Officers Chosen New pledge officers of the Butler university chapter of Delta Delta Delta sorority are Misses Eleanor ■Poirier, president; Marie Morphew, vice-president; Betty Thomas, secretary and Frances Patton, treasurer.
