New Reading Method for Blind Aided ‘Talking Book’ Approved hv Junior League; Eight Bought. BY BEATRICE BURGAX Time* Woman * Fa* Editor Advancement of the interests of the blind has been promoted by the Indianapolis Junior League for more than ten years. Since Braille machines for book transcription were introduced, many league members have enlisted in this department for their activity.

This week the “Talking Book’’ was introduced to the Braille committee of the league at a demons t r ation by Mrs. Anna Caldwe 1 1 of the American Foundation for the Blind. Members w r ere impressed by the simplicity of operation and resolved to encourage its use. Approximately only one-fourth

f Tiss Kurgan

of the blind been trained to read Braille. The “Talking Book." de: gned similar to an electric phonograph, may be used without special training. The records are made by professional readers, with pleasantly modulated voices. Every word is pronounced properly. In stc. ies with characters using dialect, a i -ader is chosen who is fitted for th role. A novel of average length when trr isrribed into Braille consists of six or seven volumes. Records for the ■ "ielking Book" are lightweight an 1 indestructible, and a novel usually can be recorded on six rec irds. The machines are portable. Libraries to Have Records Eight machines already have been cr< •’red for use in Indianapolis, and th~ league’s board of directors has vo and to aid in promotion of their us'. Congress has appropriated Jl' i.noo for preparation of records, wi cn will be sent lrom the twenty-f-,i ■ regional libraries for the blind. M ler records will be kept on file in the studio where they are reco -led, and reproductions will be di. libuted to the libraries. 1 or phones are provided for use in libraries or in public places wh ne a loud speaker would disturb others. For two years the founda*ioi has been in contact with Eu opean blind aid organizations in an effort to have records made in for 'ign languages. As in Braille, many of the novels recorded are mysteries and fast moving Action, for at their best the processes are slow. Records, howev r, are being made of economic an l text books for use of blind coller ' students. World Session Held "ext summer an international cr Terence will be held in New York to advance promotion of the “Talkin' Book.” . lore than three thousand pages of 3raiile have been made this year by members of the league committer, which works through the Americrl Red Cross. The books are given to the Braille division of the Indiana state library for circulation among the blind of the state. Mrs. Clarence Alig is one of the most proAcient transcribers.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Don’t lock up your troubles! Tell them to Jane Jordan who will give you the courage to tackle your problems. Put your difficulties in a letter today! Dear Jane Jordan—l am just a boy of 18 without even a young man’s intuitici. I have been out of the C. C. C. a short while after serving a year. I can’t get a job, and my family needs all the money

that comes in. I never have a spare piece of change to take my girl to a show. Other fellows have such things as cars, nice clothes and jobs. I used to be with her quite often, and she treated me like a pal, and still docs. But now I [ am doing some- ’ thing if I see her once in two

weeks. I think more of her than any other girl I've ever known, but I wouldn't tell her so. While she is having two or three dates a week. I am not even with a girl. I haven't a thing in this world to live for end enjoy. So you can plainly understand that I would appreciate any useful advice that would be useful and help me to enjoy these dull, unhappy days, but I am more concerned in knowing how I can be with my girl friend more often and have her enjoy my company. Just a Forgotten Wallflower. Answer —It takes a pretty courageous character to hang on to his belief in himself when he isn't earning money. Money is a uni-

versal symbol of success and it is humiliating to be without. Os course, I can’t tell any sure way to lick the situation. You can’t press a button and make things come right. The only thing you can do is to hang on to a con*vie lion that you’ll find a way out and never stop striving toward your goal. There are two general ways in which people react to a tough situation. They give up and bewail their fate. Or they develop an added resourcefulness. Just as in a physical emergency the glands secrete a substance which makes us able to run faster, so in a financial emergency, some people are conscious of heightened perceptions which aid them to rise to the occasion. Perhaps you are oversensitive about the girl. You do not feel able to shine without possession to dazzle her. No real woman deserts a man when he is down. What irffluences her mostly is his own attitude toward his problem. Let him show the white feather of defeat and she loses confidence in his ability to make a comeback. The only advice I have to give is don't lie down. Don’t quit trying either to get a job or to see your girl when you want to. Instead of retreating from obstacles, go forward to meet them. I realize that this is easier to say than to do. Nevertheless, it is a painful fact that all life is a fight, and that quitters never win. a tt m Dear Jane Jordan—What am I to do with two boy friends that are constantly cutting my throat? It seems as though I just can't keep a girl friend and hang on to my male friends, too. I have two friends that I chum around with. Each of them has plenty of money and an automobile, and most of all they have plenty of spare time. When i am hard at work they are out cutting my throat with my girl friends. Over a year ago we attended a party and after a while I noticed that my date was missing along with Mike and Freddy. When I questioned my date she replied, "Oh. we just went out to Beech Grove for a ride.” Christmas eve I met a little girl that I thought was my dream girl. I introduced

her to Mike and now I am out in the cold again. What baffles me is that both of these fellows treat me A-l when there isn't any girl around. Then they don’t think a thing of parading my ex-girl friend around my neighborhood. • BEWILDERED BERNIE. Answer—l suppose you can't help being envious of boys who have money, spare time and automobiles to help out with their conquests, but I do think you’ll have to build up some compensations for yourself. It ought not to be hard to become a more interesting person than your play boy friends ever can be. Bereft of their money and their cars, what would they have to offer? It is fine to have things, but it is dangerous to rely on them for your popularity. Instead of being envious of what you consider superior advantages, it would pay you to cultivate a personality that is not dependent upon possessions for its force. n ts n Dear Jane Jordan—l've been going with a fellow off and on for over a year. I came to love him and of course I weakened and became intimate with him. He has mentioned marriage several times although he hasn’t got as far as getting me a ring or providing a license. How can I tell whether or not he is serious? Mj friends seem to think he is just feeding me a line. • A short time ago, the first time I dated him after a split up of a few months, he took me to a dance and became drunk which was very humiliating and disgusting. Do you think he could really care for me and yet humiliate me so the very first time I was •with him after being separated for so long? VERY LONELY BOOTS. Answer—The best thing you can do is to charge the young man off as one of your mistaeks. Even if you did marry him I doubt if you would be happy together. A man as evasive in an emotional situation as he has proved to be would hardly be made more ardent by marriage. There is nothing to be gained in condemning yourself for what has happened. Your virtue or lack of it has no power to change the man’s character one way or the other. Women have never yet succeeded in making emotionally irresponsible men responsible merely by force of their own virtue. You are bound to regret the incident, of course. But spend no time in useless repining. Let your next choice be more wisely made for sounder reasons than your biological needs. Mrs. Ernest Henry Wa'rnoek. Remington. and Mrs. Warren Reynolds Hickman, Logansport, are spending the week-end with Mrs. Warnock’s parents. Dr. and Mrs. Albert Ogle.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem. BY W. E. MKENNEY Secretary American Bridge League WATCH the drop of the cards on the first and second tricks, becayse it is here that you may lay your plan of attack for the entire hand. What is the significance of the opening leader's play? What is the distribution? All this information may be gained on the first or second play. Today’s hand was played by L. J. Haddad, recognized as one of the outstanding players of Chicago. While South holds two ace-queen combinations, he felt that a heart bid was safer than one no trump as the hand is a four-three-three-three distribution, the ace of diamonds has nothing to back it up, and the spade suit is wrak. When North bids two ciubs. that is a two-over-one, and this bid never is made unless you are prepared either to bid three clubs on the next round or, if your partner bids two no trump, you are willing to go to three no trump. Otherwise, you must respond with one no trump, rather than two of a suit. While North’s club suit is rather weak, nevertheless he is in a position to play the hand at three no trump, if his partner can bid two no trump. If his partner should

East returned with the three of spades. Mr. Haddad now knew that East was out of spades, so he held the deuce himself, but he concealed this information from West and played the jack. West, hoping that his partner held the deuce, refused to win the trick, as he had no other entry, and Mr. Haddad went up in dummy with the king. Os course, Haddad immediately placed the missing kings in the East hand. A small club was returned from dummy, East played the seven and Mr. Haddad finessed the queen. He then returned the ace of clubs and followed with a small club, West discarding a diamond. East won the trick with the Icing and returned a small heart.

East returned the deuce of hearts, Mr. Haddad went up with the ace, and West’s jack dropped. Mr. Haddad now returned a small diamond and won in dummy with the queen. He cashed his two good clubs and won his ninth trick with the ace of diamonds, granting his opponents the last trick with the king of hearts. (Copyright, 1934. by NEA Service. .Inc.)

Strauss Opens Separate Departments for Serving Varied Types of Women Sportserette and Secretariate Are Names Given* New Service Offer ing - Distinctive Clothing - . BY HELEN LINDSAY TWO different types of women have been recognized in the women's department of L. Strauss fc Cos. Each type is distinctive, and so each type needs distinctive clothing, according to Miss Man- S. Moss in charge of the department. Consequently, Strauss will have a department for each. For the sportswoman, there will be the "Sportserette.’’ And for the serious-minded busines woman, who serves on the board of directors, holds a membership in. the Business and Professional Women's Club, and thinks as clearly as any business man in the city, there will be the

"Secretariate.” The names have been registered by Strauss, and distinctive clothing for each type will be featured under them: For the first time, this season Strauss will show, under these two names, wash frocks for women. The label on the Sportserette dresses is a saucy looking Scottie. The label for the dresses for the business woman will show a skyscraper office building. The newest thing in sports clothes, as shown at Strauss’, is a three-piece costume, showing shorts, shirt and skirt, in yellow wide wale pique. The shorts are made with a buttoned drop front, and wide trimming bands of brown linen down the sides. The skirt buttons down the front with large white buttons. The dresses under the Secretariate label show all of the tailored detail seen in men’s business clothes. Retaining their feminine allure in color and grace of line, they are lacking in unnecessary trimming detail.

Men s wear silk shirting is seen in some of the business dresses. They are made with tailored pl-ats at the bottom of the skirts, and arc :n shirtwaist style, the blouse to be worn inside the skirt. One has a yellow and black stripe, on a white background. Another is in orange and black with a zipper fastening at the neck, with tiny tab of the dress fabric to operate the fastener. nun Dresses of Seersucker and Gingham backs of the blouses are made in action style, with a deep inverted pleat down the center, running into a deep voke at the shoulders. Other dresses are shown in fine plaid ginghams and seersuckers All are practical for summer office wear, since they will launder easily. Strauss is showing also anew semi-swagger coat, in corduroy. This has deep patch pockets, with small flap openings, and large unusual buttons. The cordurov coats are lined, and are three-quarter length. One is beige, with large buttons in which a. design similar to the fabric pattern of the corduroy is seen. Another is in a deep brown, and another is white* with two-holed buttons down the front. A white flannel- suit is shown, with a coat long enough to be worn as a top coat over summer dresses. The yoke extends down the back into a panel effect. Sleeves are made with drop shoulders, and fitted with inverted pleats. *• b b n Flared. Linen Riding Coats Offered P'OR the woman rider, Strauss is showing new riding coats of checked \ ™ en ' s ear lincn ’ which win not crush. They are slightly more flared about the bottom than riding coats have been. Another new riding coat is seen in material which is known as salt sack fabric. It is a heavy'' coarsely woven material, in natural linen color, with brown leather buttons. Light colored riding coats are to be worn with dark jodhpurs. Thiee-piece riding suits are shown in canary yellow, rust, summer brown green and blue. They are of gaberdine,’ and include jodhpurs tailored vest and slouch hat of matching material. Following the general trend in both men’s and women’s fashions this season, dark blouses and sport shirts will be worn with lighter habits. Jersey sport shirts are shown with short sleeves,- and zipper fastenings, with small tailored collars, like those on men’s shirts. With a yellow riding habit, a brown shirt’ is suggested. Navy blue shirts are suggested as the proper complement to a light blue suit. The contrasting idea is proper except in the formal riding habit and in a Palm Beach suit.' Where these are worn, they should all be of one color.

MISS PAVEY WEDS IN RITE AT CHURCH The Rev. Ernest Piepenbrok read the marriage ceremony Wednesday night at St. John’s Evangelical church for Miss Dorothy Sue Pavey and Kenneth Brossart, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Brossard.
