Exhibit of Plaster Casts and Water Colors Shows Work of Two Musicians Jean Orloff, Violinist, and Bomar Cramer, Pianist, Display Creations at Art Institute Tea. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Time, Woman's rage Editor TWO popular ]ndianapoiis musicians have turned to another art for their hobbies. Jean OrlofT, violinist, and Bomar Cramer, pianist, for several years have thrilled audiences with their music. During the last two years with their hands, strengthened by years of musical training, they have created beauty with other mediums. ©n Sunday afternoon Miss OrlofT exhibited her collection of plaster cast hands and Mr. Cramer showed his water colors at a tea in the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music. They received dozens of their friends.

Both Miss Orloff and Mr. Cramer acknowledged they derive a ‘‘lot of fun" from their hobbies. "After a long day of practice what do I have to show for it?” Miss Orloff queried. "I can cast a hand, which fascinates me and I have something tangible to show for my work." Miss Orloffs latest impressions w*>re of Dr. D. O. Krarby’s hands, which she labels as “Treatment.” She put the dental instruments in the hands Sunday morning shortly before she arranged the eight impressions at the conservatory. The background of the setting was draped with soft velvet hangings. Indirect lighting cast a shadowy glow over the white plaster hands, arranged on velvet covered stands. Miss Orlofl explained she didn’t have the slightest interest in modeling until she saw an exhibition of impressions in Chicago two years ago. Her cousin. P. M. Orloff. was experimenting in control of plaster as head of the research department of the Chicago

o

Miss Rurgan

College of Dental Surgery. Hands had fascinated her; to her they show a person’s character. With dental plaster she cast her first pair, those of Bomar Cramer. Strong and sensitive—his hands are in midair over a piano keyboard. So realistic is the appearance of action that one waits to hear the sound of music.

Mr. Cramer's hands were painted with a wax preparation. ‘ Wax must be used when taking impressions of hands in action, because the pose can't be held long enough for plaster to harden. In making impressions of hands as in Gesture plaster molds can be used successfully, Miss Miss OrlofT explained. Models Feminine Hands Mrs. Howard Fieber assisted her aunt at the tea. Her hands were cast by Miss OrlofT for contrast. Strictly feminine are the hands holding cards at a bridge table. The wrists are daintily frilled with flaring cufTs. Hale Mac Keen’s hands are modeled holding a mask, indicative of the theater. Impressions of hands of Theodore (Pop) Myers of Speedway fame hold a miniature raring car. Kathryn Turney Garten's hands are dropped lightly over an open book, and Louise Essex's hands are poised on the bow of a cello. Mr. Cramer likes to reflect that he exhibited ‘ Elements" in the Indiana Artists’ Club show. "I paint purely in fun," he said. "I haven’t had any formal training, except a few lessons when I was 12 years old." Several of the pictures hung for the tea Sunday were painted at Charlevoix. Petoskey and Mackinac, Mich. While on a vacation there, he met two young men who were artists. From them he learned many of the technical points in wielding a brush. Success Followed Disgust Mr. Cramer told the story of painting ‘•Elements.’’ ”1 had been out with the two boys all day. and hadn't been able to'paint a single stroke. One of the boys had finished two perfectly grand pictures. I was disgusted. In the middle of the night I woke up with the vision of waves lapping in a fantastic manner. I got up and sketched the picture and painted it the next With a few strokes of green and blue, Mr. Cramer created a rhythmic effect of the elements. Many of the pictures on view at the tea were painted in the last few weeks. Mr. Cramer paints them at his card table whenever he feels the "There’s not any relaxation in painting. I just like to splash colors,” he said. .. Miss Orloffs assistants besides Mrs. Fieber were Mrs. H. L. Orloff. Miss Virginia Leyenberger and Miss Harriett Jean Wright. Mr. Cramer s assistants were Misses Anne Schaeffer. Ramona Wilson, Ruth Gant and Geneva Potts.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Thi* column has had so few critics of late that Jane Jordan welcomes the letter published below. Conscienlious objectors will always find space for a really interesting letter. Dear Jane Jordan—l quite agree with The Times readers who have accused the writer of the Jane Jordan column of being a man. The Jane Jordan philosophy smacks more of pants philosophy than petti-

coat philosophy. x myself am a cons i r med pettico a t phi - osopher and an egotist. I need all my egotism to bolster me up through life. I must say that the Jane Jordan writer, man or woman. cert a inly cracks down on hidden egotism in a way

that makes my mouth feel like the funnies. I repeat I'm a petticoat philosopher. I believe in the rights of women and the wrongs of men. I'm for freedom, .freedom of speech, freedom of the press, mostly for freedom. If I choose to kiss a cow or a cat, so be it. If Jane Jordan chooses to pet. pamper and prate of the needs of man, so be it. The close communion of men is based on helping each other to learn the best ways to work a woman and to tell which women are easiest to work. The only man friend a woman ever has is her father and her brothers, and sometimes I doubt them, especially Englishmen. The father and brothers are enemies to every other woman. “Man was made to work and be worked.” But don't let man work \V>u! You are letting the doctors work you. You are fostering their racket. And the doctors' racket is very pleasant for th>’m. SQUAWK. Answer—To be in rebellion against a thing is not to be free from it.

These wraps were photographed in a New York store especially for The Indianapolis Times

they deserve it, and try to interpret their reactions to women, does not in the least mean that I am traitor I to my own sex. Only in the last few generations ! have we come to recognize woman as a person in her own right instead of a piece of property. Until recently woman has beqn what man said she should be. Her life was lived according to the rules and regulations he laid down for her. A good woman was one who respected these regulations, and a bad one was one who defied them. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries women were sold in the market place by their husbands who led them there with a rope around their necks. As late as July 22. 1797, a newspaper article contained the following: "The increasing value of the fair : sex is regarded by many writers as i the certain index of a growing civilj izacion. Smithfield may for this ! reason claim to be a contributor to particular progress in finesse, for in the market the price was again taised from one half a guinea to threc-and-one-half.” In the nineteenth century woman j still was a slave of man. though I the form of her slavery had changed. Revered, but without rights, her place is described by the following excerpt from a book called “Woman in America,'’ published by Harper Brothers in 1858: “The supremacy of the husband as the head of the family institution is similar to the supremacy

of the governing power in a state, and there is the like obligation to obedience to both. “She <a good woman) has no desire to rule where she feels it to be her duty, as it is her highest pleasure ‘to love, honor and obey.’ ” Such sentiments were far more enslaving than rigid laws oY customs. The World war was the great turning point in the growing revolt of women. It was then that women invaded every field of endeavor, and weakened man's control at every, point. For the first time in civilization women find themselves with opportunities and resources for gaining economic independence, for cultivating their minds, for standing shoulder to shoulder with man as comrade, co-worker and friend. I dislike to see her muff the opportunity by stupidity indulging the emotional reaction which turns the liberated slave into the hardest taskmaster of all.

Bird Houses at Mayer’s Offered in Variety to Suit Feathered Tenants Largest Residence Required by Martins Which Live in Clans; Willow Twigs Used in Building Homes. BY HELEN LINDSAY THERE is a fourteen-apartment building in Indianapolis, without a bathroom or other modern conveniences in it. But there's no need io call the building inspector, for it's the most modern dwelling for a flock of martins. The house is one of a collection of bird houses shown. * Charles Mayer's. Martins are clannish birds, and migrate in families. When seeking their nesting site, they select one which will accommodate their entire family. Martins are among the most valuable of the birds. Their food consists almost entirely of flying insects, chiefly mosquitoes. One { irple martin wull catch and consume an average of 2,000 mosquitoes in a day.

in addition to gnats and other insects. The study of birds, their homes and their habits is an interesting one each spring for a number of Indianapolis persons. Mrs. John Carey, in her home at Haverway Farm, greets a. host of feathered friends each year. Not only in the spring, but in the winter months, she delights in watching their actions. Just outside her bedroom window is a rustic feeding tray, where birds perch to enjoy the meals she has placed for them. It is not uncommon to see a bright red Kentucky cardinal through her window, and she laughingly calls the chickadee her “policeman," for he is the one who is brave enough to rout saucy English sparrows from the tray. u tt tt Females Make Final Nest Selection T'vURING the winter, birds travel about in scat-

u tered groups, searching for food a.id do not nest. In the spring the males arrive north earlier than the females, and select the general location for nesting. The female bird selects the exact spot for the nest, and builds it. while her mate stands guard. The character of the nest depends upon the species of bird and tho family to which it belongs. Th highest type of nest is that of the oriole, wffiich is hung at the tip end of a branch. Nests of humming birds and wood pewees are covered on the outside with lichens and bits of bark, making them appear like knots on the tree trunk. Robins, w 7 ood thrushes and vireos w-eave in pieces of paper and cloth to disguise their nests. In selecting nesting material, the birds take that nearest at hand, so long as it conforms to the type of nest which the species builds. Some birds are much more adaptable than others in suiting their nests and nesting places to changing conditions. These are the ones that have held their orvn and increased in numbers w’ith the growth of civilization. Bluebirds, w T rens and chickadees utilize neat boxes instead of holes in trees. A bird usually takes a week to build a nest, but if the nest is destroyed they have been known to complete the entire nest in a day. a a a a tt m Small Entrance Required for Wren House WRENS will build in any, can or basket convenient, if the entrance is small enough to keep other birds out. Mayer’s has a variety of wren houses, made with tiny doorways, the roofs of some of the houses jutting over the opening to protect it from wind and rain. # Wrens, like martins, sometimes build in houses which have more than one compartment. Mayer's has a house with four entrances for a wren family. Most of the birdhouses at Mayer’s are made of willow branches. Some have wood thatched roofs; others are covered with grass thatching. Some of the more elaborate are made of tiny weatherboards, witty, peaked roofs, and are painted like real houses. f But for the robin, who is known to be a very untidy housekeeper, only the simplest housing preparations have been made. One robin nest is a section of a small tree trunk, hollowed out, with a twig entwined about in the bottom of it. Another is similar, with a small roof. The house for the flicker shown at Mayer’s is a deep hollowed piece of tree trunk. Chips and sawdust are suggested to be placed in the flicker house, so the birds will think they dug it out themselves. Houses for bluebirds are shown at Mayer's, too. Though these birds will build in a one-room house, they raise three broods a year, and use I a new apartment for each brood. Because of this habit,, houses are sugj gested which will accommodate their increasing families.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

AGRICULTURE SECRETARY HENRY A. WALLACE calls upon the American people to take the Sermon on the Mount for a business guide. We’ve tried everything else to no avail, so we may as well experiment with this idea. Part of our confusion over business ethics undoubtedly arises from the fact that we have embodied in our codes both the Old and the New' Testaments. Yet the tw r o are incompatible. On the question of social justice especially, they are opposed. The first is dominated by a tribal God who permitted his favorites to get away with murder—w'hile the second has for its basis and inspiration anew creed —that of Jesus of Nazareth. It’s high time we decided w’hich w r e will follow'. We already have had too many men upon the American scene who professed to love the Christ, while they conducted their business according to the code of ancient gods w'ho ruled when the race was young and the people few'. Most of our present economic misfortunes may be dumped at the doorc of these men. Their Sundays were spent in pious exercises and their week

days in devising means to grab all they could from their fellows and to crush their financial enemies. A few honestly thought their wealth came to them because of their virtues, even as God is said to have given flocks and herds to Abraham out of what now' appears to us pure favoritism. According to this interpretation the Deity always sided with them against the poor and unfortunate, which as you may see was a com* sortable sort of religion. * There are inspiring lessons to be learned from Yhe Old Testament, but its codes are unsuited to the social needs of our day. “It is God,” cried David, "who maketh my w'ay perfect. He setteth me upon high places. In the house of the righteous there is much treasure ... I have been young, and now' am old. yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." He w'ould see it now if he could look out of his heaven. The seed of many a righteous man begs bread in lands w'hich call themselves Christian and w'here economic customs have resembled the plunderings of pirates upon the high seas.
