Little Acorn Camping Program Changed This Year to Include Girls Herbert A. Sweet Engages Deloris McDaniel to Direct Entertainment of New Contingent. BY BEATRICE BURGAN . Times Woman’s Page Editor LITTLE sisters complained last year because they couldn’t accompany their brothers on the Little Acorn camp trips, conducted by Herbert A. Sweet. The Little Acorn camp is unusual because it is one of the few camps which permit the children to return each night to their homes. When “big brother” went home last year to tell their day’s experiences, “little sisters” longed to go the next morning. Mr. Sweet solved the problem this year by inviting Miss Deloris McDaniel to lead a girls’ camp to be conducted along the same routine of

the boy’s camp. The girls are eager for next Monday to arrive, for they will set out then on their first trip. The boys won’t begin their camping until the following Monday. Hillis Howie s prairie treks, sponsored annually by the Children’s Museum, inspired Mr. Sweet’s idea for the Little Acorn camps. The camps are really short distance treks, conducted along exploratory lines. On the hikes the children study the fauna and flora of the vicinity. They visit industrial plants. Last year they spent one day at a flour mill in Noblesville and they visited the Bedford stone quarries. For two years Mr. Sweet was the “chef” on the prairie treks; this year his place will be taken by his brother, Philip Sweet, who will return to Purdue university next year after teaching at Orchard school. Herbert will take his brother’s place on the Orchard faculty next year while Philip

is completing his studies at the university. Herbert Sweet knows all sorts of activities to interest the children on the camping trips. His experiences cover fourteen years of scouting, summers with Mr. Howie at Brer Rabbit schools, and seasons with Florida and Indianapolis Scout camps.

Last year the boys were enthused about the crafts Mr. Sweet taught them. At the end of the day they proudly carried their completed projects home. Because Mr. Sweet conceived the idea of his camps to develop leadership, a greater love of nature and greater skill and judgment, he named the camps Little Acorn, remembering the old adage, “mighty raks from little acorns grow.” The junior camps meet the need of children not old enough to attend the regular scouting camps. Last year several campers were of preschool ages. On special trips the boys and girls will be together, but on the regular days of camping the units will follow their own individual activities, usually in the same vicinity. They will set out in the morning in station wagons. On hot days they will end their jaunts with dips in the Butler university pool under the supervision of Red Cross guards. The children will wear shorts and large straw hats. At lunch the girls will act as hostesses. Patsy Cartwright and Mary Curry are among the sixteen girls in the girls’ camp. Forming the boys’ camp are Bob and Bill Fisher, Tom and Bill Wainwright, Tom Sullivan, Douglas White, John Darlington, Charles Zerfas, Arthur Twente, Charles Cartwright. Bob Meeker, John Miller, Jim Cunningham, Tom Hendrickson, Jack Lafollette, Bud and Si Sheerin, Evans Harrell and Peter Hackleman. Membership in the camps is limited and reservations will be accepted in the order of application. The camps solve a problem for parents, who wish their children to enjoy the advantages of • outdoor life but who do not wish to send them away to season camps. Before Tudor Hall alumnae members scattered after luncheon to the golf course, tennis courts and swimming pool of Woodstock, they listened to a talk yesterday by Miss I. Hilda Stewart, principal of the school, and elected officers for next year. Mrs. William Griffith, who lives next door to the school, will be close at hand to the school activities, which she will be interested in as president of the group. Miss Virginia Roberts will be vice-president; Mits Madalaine Speers, secretary, and Mrs. Robert C. Winslow, treasurer. Directors elected are Mrs. Clifford Arrick, Mrs. R. Kirby Whyte, Mrs. John R. Curry and Mrs. Robert Todd. Mrs. Conrad Ruckelshaus is a holdover member of the board and Mrs. William Van Landingham is a life member. W. C. T. U.

Schultz, county president. and the Riverside M.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Can you see through yourself? If you’re baffled by your own behavior, write to Jane Jordan who will show you what your secret motives are. Dear Jane Jordan After thirty-six years of married life my mother died. I came home and took care of her during her last illness and was planning to make a permanent home taking care of my father, who is 66. Just two months after my mother died my father started to look around for someone else to take her place, and in four or five months he was violently in love with my mother’s best friend. It was all’ in a small town and I pleaded with him to wait at least a year before going out together, but they went out a lot just the same whenever they thought I would not find it out. In a year and a half they were married. It was all right with me the length of time they waited to get married but the way the two silly fools acted so soon after my mother died just nearly broke my heart for she was a good wife and mother. Now my father is disappointed in me because I won’t go about his new wife or have anything to do with her. It just seems as if the hurt of it all is too much for me and that I can never show her any respect for rushing in so soon after my mother passed on. What is your idea of it all? ANONYMOUS.

THE Arlington horse show annually is one of the most popular local shows, and last Saturday at the Robert H Brown stables one of the largest events in the stables’ history was held. One of the most popular riders was tiny Gretchen Wemmer, who was in the saddle with her mother, Mrs. William H. Wemmer, in the parent and child class. Robert Rhoads, Fred Sharp and

father finds a substitute the better, no matter how many conventions are shattered. In a way it is a compliment to your mother that he found the life she made for him so indispensable to happiness that he tried to duplicate it as closely as possible. The very fact that he fell in love with your mother’s best friend is indicative of his desire to recapture her image by choosing someone who was close to her. It is difficult for a young woman to understand why a man If 66 does not consider he is too old for romance. If by any chance you should have a final flareup of love yourself at 66 you would look back on your father’s behavior with more tolerance. There is another angle to the problem which I doubt if you recognize. The chances are that you identified yourself with youj- mother when you were a little girl and the idea of stepping into her shoes, so to speak, was very attractive to you. As the head of your father’s house you would have enjoyed the same privileges, the same security and sense of power that was your mother’s before you. But another woman assumed the role that you. wanted for yourself, and therein lies the real reason for your refusal to recognize her. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—There isn’t the least doubt in my mind but that you are already responsible for the downfall of boys and girls through the ungodly advice you give them. I know you will deny this, but I am going to warn you, just the same. You say that drinking, smoking, necking are evil in themselves. You just as good as told this 19-year-old boy Maurice to disobey his parents, and go against all their godly teachings. If ever a woman was , used by the devil to destroy souls, you surely are and you r-e too blind to see it. Oscar Wilde’s observation that the best way to overcome temptation is to yield to it, hold a germ all right, but not of the truth. Any one with an ounce of common sense knows'you can’t overcome temptation by yielding to it. Evil things that are forbidden do not lose their charms by partaking of them. This letter I am writing personally to you because I am inter-

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League IN my previous article I told you it was difficult to make six no trump unless you had a suit to work with. • I really believe I should have said that it is difficult to make even three no trump contract without such aid. Take for example today’s hand. It has plenty of high card tricks and South is certainly justified in his opening bid of one no trump, as he holds three and one-half primary tricks and no weak doubletons. North, with an ace and a king, is

justified in going to two no trump. But it takes an add squeeze play to make the contract. However, leave it to the boys at Yale university to find a way to make their contract. It was there that this hand, sent to me by Fred Roddell, was played. a a a AGAINST the three no trump contract, West opened the ten of hearts and East went up with the king. Personally, I believe that East should have played low. South won the trick with the ace and cashed the king and queen of spades, learning to his sorrow that the spade suit was not going to break, when East let go a diamond. The jack of clubs was played and East won the trick with the queen. A heart was returned by East, which South, declarer, won with the queen. He next led the ten of clubs. West let go the five of diamonds, and East won with the ace. Another heart was returned and South won with the jack, a diamond being discarded from dummy. At this point the declarer had five tricks in, and two clubs and a spade set up. He could see that a diamond lead might put West in to cash two heart tricks and set him. If he were to cash his two clubs, this would set up a club trick for East; but the declarer decided that East was out of hearts, so a club was led. West discarded his jack of diamonds and the trick was won in dummy with the nine. . Another club was eashed, declarer letting go a spade, and West was squeezed. If he let go a spade, the declarer’s two spades would be good, so the only thing he could do was to release one of his good hearts, and now all the declarer had to do was to lead a dian jnd from dummy and play the queen from his own hand. West won the trick with the aee, cashed his nine of hearts, and was forced to lead a spade to dummy’s ace. Declarer won the last trick with the king of diamonds. (Copyright, 1934, NBA Service, Inc.)

Em-Roe Store Presents Latest Devices Designed for Summer Recreation Mats for Sun Bathers, Sleeping Bags and Folding Beds Among Items to Interest Vacationists. BY HELEN LINDSA.Y SUMMER recreation has been considered at the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company store, where a number of new gadgets for camping, beach parties and fishing are on display. For the person desiring comfort for a sun bath, Em-Roe’s is showing sun mats. .One kind is made of striped awning fabric. It is an oblong mat with a kapok-filled pillow at one end and a pocket in the mat for sun-tan creams and lotions. Another is a kapok-filled quilted pad, with water-proof undercovering. This has a pillow at one end, too, and a vanity pocket. The pad can be rolled up and tied in a small compact package, so that it can be carried with ease.

New sleeping bags are shown for campers. They are padded with kapok, are water-proof, and fasten at the front with zipper fastenings, much like aviation suits. These, like the sunbath pads, can be rolled up and fastened together. “Tukaway” beds are camp beds which can be folded into compact size, yet which are substantial when opened. They are fitted with kapok filled pads. For out-door cooking, a number of new gadgets are available. One is a hamburg grill, made with long handles, and in sizes for the cooking of individual hamburger steaks. They are small cupshaped utensils, and are to be used for broiling meat, over a vood fire. For wiener roasts, small individual roasters are shown. These are wire frames hinged to-

gether, each with space for a number of frankfurters, small steaks, or other outdoor food. They have long wire handles, so that the cook may stand far from the heat of the fire while cooking. A small folding camp grid is suggested for out-door steak frys. The grid, which looks like the rack in an ordinary oven, is mounted on four strong, pointed steel legs, which are imbedded into the ground over thd fire. When not in use, the grid is folded together, so that it takes up little space. a a a a a tt Beverage leer Among Novelties ANOTHER convenience for outdoor cooking is the “grub-stake.” This is a heavy iron post with a horizontal bar across it. With it come a variety of iron pieces, fitted to accomodate different styles of pans. These are slipped over the stake and rest on the horizontal bar. When one is not in use, it can be removed and another put in its place. At Em-Roe’s an interesting light is thrown on what an ex-Governor does with his time. Anew and popular type of beverage icer is shown, made by a company in Michigan City, in which former Governor Harry G. Leslie is an executive. The chest is well insulated and has a capacity for two dozen twelve-ounce bottles. The chest is said to use only twenty-five pounds of ice in twenty-four hours. Other interesting summer camping conveniences are kapok filled life preserver jackets. These, introduced last summer, are made in sizes for both children and adults. Em-Roe’s sold one last summer to the parents of a 12-year-old child, whose life later was saved by the preserver. The child fell from a boat into thirty feet of water. She was unable to swim, but was held up in the water until she could be rescued by others in the boat. a tt tt tt a a Portable Shower Bath Offered WALGREEN DRUG STORES are showing anew portable shower bath, which can be qsed in various places. It will attach to practically any faucet, and has a suction cup which fits to any smooth surface, so that the shower can be adjusted to the best height. The shower head is adjustable, allowing the stream of water to be directed at any angle. a a a a a a Makes Vacation Suggestions SUGGESTIONS for the vacationist who plans to rent a furnished cottage in the country or at the beach are given in a recent article by Emily Kimbrough in the June House Beautiful magazine. Since practically every summer cottage has only one lamp in the bedroom, she suggests that extra bedlamps be taken along. Pillows, too, should be taken from home, since the average landlord of summer cottages supplies only one for each bed. Cotton bedspreads will be of advantage in providing a light covering for naps. Other things which Miss Kimbrough thinks would be of use are coat hangers, dress bags, folding racks for suitcases, hat stands and inexpensive cabinets of pasteboard or gay-colored fabric. She also suggests extra towel racks, soap dishes, a large clothes hamper, cleaning tissue, extra towels, paper napkins and cloths —and plenty of games. \
